No, they weren't "anti-Wicca" per se. But after an introduction there (at Brand X) they were decidedly anti-me: humiliating attacks, vicious name calling, all kinds of stuff. It's not like I went in preaching the Gospel according to Goddess either. Just "Hi howareya, my wife suggested I come here and check it out, this is stuff about me . . ." pa-yeow! Right between the eyes.

Like other places about any other subject on the WWW, there are people of all opinions, stripes, polka-dots, and ad nauseums. But just a "Hi I'm new here and checking you out" almost ensured I never tried again.

Fortunately the folk here are much nicer. And patient, generally.

I haven't been banned from christian forums yet. I don't post all that much though. I am on a couple of other forums, but this one is the one in which I am most involved. Love (most of) the people and the discussions always get me thinking, which is something I value above all else.

I have never seen fit to enter any Christian forum (I'm not a masochist). I do have an account on WitchVox.

This forum gets me thinking, also. Anything that gets me thinking at all is probably a good exercise for my brain cell.

Meh. Theologyweb.com is worth a look if you want to walk on the wild side. I don't agree with some of their policies, but it's a well traveled forum, with a decent amount of diversity, and folks are generally pretty tolerant. Like Ally, I don't spend much time away from home, and I find my forum time being outcompeted for other tasks as it is, but if you want a taste, that's a good place to try. I also rather liked JREF forums, but don't spend any time there either.

We both noticed that anyone who veered from the party line even in the slightest just got banned.

Then Kichi got a two week ban merely for disagreeing with another member , No warning, nothing.

So we decided it wasn't worth our time.

BTW we were already members here, but we enjoy the atmosphere.

What forum was that may I ask Zen?

Since you're Australian I'm guessing that you're probably familiar with it.
It was Atheist Foundation of Australia.

But do they have a handbra thread?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Statler doesn't have an antithesis. It is geometrically impossible to circle the square.
