[Serious] Hello there! Fellow atheist here!

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

You seem pretty unhappy with AF, mate.  You don't like the 'Serious' tag, you think all discussions should be serious, you don't think people should link to news articles, and you question the need for atheist forums to exist at all.

You know you aren't required to be here, right?

I never gave any indication that I was unhappy.

It's not that I don't like the serious tag, it's that I think that it makes more sense to have a non-serious area of the forums and make seriousness a default for the rest of the forums.

I think all discussions are serious because a non-serious discussion isn't really a discussion ... it's a chat.

I never said that people shouldn't link to news articles.

Just because I don't think that atheism forums are necessary doesn't mean I can't enjoy them. I don't think ice cream is necessary either but I can enjoy that just fine.

I know I'm not required to be here. Again, just because X is not required doesn't mean X is pointless. Just because my being here is not necessary doesn't mean I can't enjoy being here.

If you're not unhappy, why the constant whinging about the forum?

And yes, you did say people shouldn't link to news articles.

Your ice cream analogy is badly flawed.  It's more as if you constantly complain about ice cream but keep going back to the ice cream shop.
