I have stayed out of most of this, but once someone steps over a line of belligerence toward the people on the board whom I admire (and that includes you, Cath!), then I will step in to defend them against a bully.
This guy is the equivalent of the type of bully who thinks he's bigger than he is, walks up and punches a weaker kid, and then when the weaker kid's six friends come in and start kicking the snot out of him, he complains that he's being bullied.
Nope. Not having it. Not allowing it. This guy deserves everything he has earned here. If he wants to play nice, we'll play nice.
Remember? We're atheists. We believe in being nice to people if possible, but we do not have a "turn the other cheek" rule.
From what I've seen, Randy has had much nastier things said to him than he's said to anyone else here. The way you're portraying it above is as if Randy came in here and was a big bully to people who were nothing but kind and welcoming to him. "Randy is the villain, and everyone else is just the innocent snow flake, and now we're all heroes for calling him all sorts of horrible names."
^That's what it sounds like you're saying. And I'm sorry, but that is extremely one sided and is not the case.
I guess you can continue to cuss him out and call him nasty names if you really believe it's the right and noble thing to do. But if you're going to do that to a person, I urge you to at least take a look at some of his very first posts here on AF and see if things really started the way you seem to think they did.
"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."
