Ok, sorry, but this just sounded like something out of a mafia game 
Hang on, did I just get an idea for a new mafia variant?

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

I tell you something. I'm seriously considering jacking all this in. I don't mind the job, I love the job, I love the responsibility, I love making a positive contribution, I love how I feel like I have a purpose again. But what puts the shit in my noodles is ungrateful little twats who don't have a legitimate complaint bitching about the way things are done, the very same judgements that they are perfectly fine with as long as they don't apply to them.
Isn't it interesting that while all the melodrama was blowing up yesterday, I personally had the professionalism to look after the welfare of the forum as a whole; making edits and general cleanups where necessary - including the removal of personally identifiable information. But some of you who will be nameless don't think to bother about that shit, do you? It's got to the point where, after moderating a post, I'm expecting a PM demanding to know why.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Again saying that it's an insult to be gay. Amazing.

We try and eliminate bias as much as possible.
Often we've had reports about posts that 'people don't like', theist and atheist alike, but we don't action on it, not for that reason alone anyway.
For example, some of the things you've said on this thread have been outright lies and misrepresentations of the facts. But I don't want to ban you because of it.
We don't ban people because of their beliefs, after all. If that were true, and there's an inherent bias against theists on here, then why does it not say banned under your name?
Some mods wont like some members. Obvious truth is obvious. Hence why we have a quorum system. If there were any decent theists on the board we'd promote them too, like Ryaan when he was on the staff. But there aren't any.
So you can keep accusing us of being butt hurt despite not being in full possession of the facts & actually acting more butt hurt then any of us appear to be (butt hurt over what btw? I don't get it), but you won't get banned for it. Not now at least.

Please keep going, please. Just keep saying it, again and again, who knows, the next one may be your last.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

I'm suggesting that your god is a delusional fantasy and that your belief in him is irrational and illogical. I don't know why you don't just admit it.
Like I said in another thread: we announce our bans in public. A look through that list will see plenty of banned atheists. I would be sure that theists get banned more frequently compared to their percentage of the population, but let's be honest: atheists are vastly less likely to come to an atheist forum looking to stir up trouble.

Over fr0d0 saying some mods had trolled him in the last thread. Certain people just would not let it go.
