A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

 (November 7, 2016 at 1:40 pm)Irrational Wrote: I'm not giving someone like Drich any benefit of doubt. I don't care what he's like irl. Nor do I care how his wife sees him. Online, he is a scumbag, and he still is now acting like one. So up himself he thinks his shit doesn't stink when everyone can smell it miles away. It's like with Min. He says some awful things on here fairly often. But we all know that's just Min's online persona as the grumpy ol' man, and we know he's a decent person irl.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Minimalist can be a dick. He's not comparable to someone who thinks we should all get AIDS, celebrates child abuse, and dismisses rape victims as liars. Not remotely comparable.

I don't know what Min is like IRL (nor do I know what anyone here is like IRL), so can't say anything there. But other than that, what Losty said. 
Min's fairly in line with how the people around me are. I'm about as censored as he is, so I couldn't possibly judge him, but I definitely think he's an important member of Atheist Forums.

Well then you're wrong  That's an exact representation whilst leaving out the gruesome details of the horrid things he has said on this forum.
It's not to say he's a horrible person, I highly doubt he's this disgusting irl. It's just to say comparing the gruffness of Minimalist to the appalling shit that's spews from Drich on this forum is not a fair comparison in any imaginable way.
Let's ask him,
Drich, do you think everyone on AF should get AIDS? Do you celebrate child abuse? Are rape victims liars?

He has literally said he hopes we get AIDS. He has literally celebrated child abuse on this forum, and he has literally accused a rape victim of being a liar about her experience. That is not at a misrepresentation of his behavior on this forum. And exaggeration? Hardly I left out all the bile the talk of beatings, and the jerk off smilies. |
