Sure ![Smile Smile](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif) And in all cases, it's been because of what they do not what they believe.
The fact that certain people are still here after the truly horrendous things they have said is evidence of a lack of bias against beliefs.
I know we don't see everything either, we don't see PMs sent to staff or reports made so to complain without all the facts is unjustified.

Well... considering the nature of this site, those numbers may be a bit skewed.

I see what you did there.

.. and at a much higher percentage!
But seriously it isn't surprising. So many theists just want to do a drive by, express their indignation and run. Then there are those on a mission like the drich. Then some perfectly good member theists eventually begin to chafe from having their position challenged constantly. Sometimes they get a little resentful about it and sensitive. Rather than realize they just aren't getting what they want here and leave of their own accord they seek out death by ban hammer so they get in a good rant on their way out and help with staying away.

I'm really surprised Drich hasn't come back here for a final explosion.

Well, whatever the reason, we're starting to run low on long term theists.

Yes, usually involves attacking the staff's integrity, coupled with the christian persecution complex. The staff is not beyond error and we are open to reasonable critique, we even have the suggestions, etc subforum. But if you attack a forum member of the staff integrity on random threads as a rethoric, you attack us all. Get a grip, if you find that an atheist forum staff member doesn't agree with you, attack his reasoning, not the fact that that member is also a mod/admin. We can discuss stuff too like any member, or at least, we should

So reggie chasteen ended up having to get fit. But he left me hanging. CrossFit? My cousin owns crossfit boxes. What about your diet, reg? Paleo? Atkins, maybe? We're waiting. And how about some pics? Either A69 or no. Doesn't matter, bruh.
