Civilized trial thread

[CapnAwesome]

I personally think the forum as a whole should make name calling, insults, detailed threads with insults etc - bannable offenses. Not banned forever but time limits.

Even if I were an atheist, if I posted something that someone didn’t like about say politics, I don’t want to deal with that one special poster calling me a fuck wit or whatever, as it derails the dialogue. Other forums ban for a day or week or whatever, those types of offenders. Religious forums does this and it works. Play nice or go in time out.

I think if those rules were enforced (whether the mod spots it on sight or it’s reported) there wouldn’t be a need for a separate space.

More censorship is not the answer, the answer to to just be an adult and interact with who you want to. Its so easy to ignore replies you don't want to, and interact with only the people you want to.

I think this whole idea is childish.

It's funny how you say I'm not addressing what you are saying. I mean, all you are saying, up until this post is "nah uh, it's not a safe space" with mo explanation or even defense of it. Even though I repeatedly explained why I think it's exactly that. So I don't know how you would come to the conclusion that I wasn't addressng your point. Other than that it's just forum tripe that gets repeated a lot. It's actually exactly what I'm talking about. You are being offensive and insulting, know it, but masking it by not using curse words. Like saying I'm afraid of debating christians because you want a more censored environment.  It doesn't even make sense.

None of which you replied to at all. So way to be a hypocritical cuntball.

Less censoship is always good. And you still are looking for a safe space. Here is an idea: be an adult, and be able to deal with being called names, like an adult

I don't think it is about use curse words either (if it's a part of it, I think that it should be a small part of it certainly with some grace).   As for your " safe space", you just seem to keep wanting to repeat and not listen. I can speak for myself thanks!  

I truly don't understand your aversion to a civil part of the forum with an emphasis on honest discussion. Perhaps afraid isn't the correct word, but I find the opposition to it humorous. 
If you have a particular point that you want addressed, perhaps you should be more civil.  Right now, the crap covers anything of value.

Maybe you get a lot of crap towards you because of a problem with you that inspires it as a response. For example insulting people and then crying that they aren't being civil enough towards you. It is easy to have civil conversations on here and ignore the crap, if that is what you are after.

I don't know how that is such a problem. I think that this idea is being championed by forum theists says it all. Theists, as a group, always tend towards censorship and away from free speech. Both in reality and online. Atheist forums are always rowdier more fun places. There are already so many places on christian forums with exactly the rules you guys want. There is no reason to have it hear, and I hope the idea is not even entertained. I think the very existence of it here would detract from the fun chaos of atheist forums and basically create two forums. We already have a place we like. If you want more censorship, just go join a Christian forum, they are full of it.

Also, it still sounds like you want a safe space. You say I'm not listening, but I've read everything you wrote twice and you aren't even offering a reason it's not. So maybe try that, start with "this is not a safe space because....."
