What is TTA? Ive rarely ventured from here. Yeah the majority of our theists all loads of at that point neutral rep points that were not entirely friendly. Rayaan being the exception Big Grin everyone loves Rayaan.

The Thinking Atheist. I'm a mod on their forum, we share quite a few of the same members, that's how I know about here.

The Thinking Atheist. It's owned by Seth Wassisface (surname escapes me) but run by an underling of his. The underling uses the moderator system as a kind of Boys' Club. Agree with everything they say (and give pos rep to them) and your own rep will climb until you eventually graduate into the Boys' Club, yourself. It's sort of like Atheism+, but more subtle.

Fall out with someone in the Boys' Club and you may as well exit, stage left.

I rate people positive even if I do not like them, because I know there is always room for improvement as long as were human beings. I am trying to be aggressively nice. And I cannot hate anyone really.

I try my best to not be an asshole. I often fail but I try regardless. I do like a lot of our theists even though I disagree with them.

That's rubbish and you know it.

You made a complaint about someone, threw a temper tantrum when you didn't get your own way, openly abused several members (some mods, some not), butchered a thread taking everything out of context, and then sent abusive and threatening PM's to several mods.

Even the person who was originally backing you up in that thread said he was glad to see you go.

Jackanory or Grimm's Fairy Tales. One of the two.

That isn't what happened. And I know that. I don't care if you don't. I was abusive in response to abuse (I always treat people the way they treat me) and I didn't send any threatening PMs... to anyone.

And of course my previous ally disassociated himself from me after I left. It was the sensible thing to do, given the way things work in TTA. He'd have been maligned, himself, if he hadn't. Silly Hughsie.

Funny how you did your best to delete all the evidence that proved your innocence isn't it?

I'm not perfect either, so if you want to get on somebody get on me. I've trolled godschild before because he flat pisses me off, however I cannot hate him. But just because you can't hate a person doesn't mean you can't not like them.

I think its fun to be nice to somebody insulting you, they only get more desperate to be harsher.
