What was it about this place that leads you to have described it as great, and what happened - trolls disrupted the greatness???
There's kind of a funny paradox on forums like this one.
Anyone who isn't 100% in agreement will be called a troll and insulted until he leaves the forum, which is considered a victory. On the other hand, such people are called "chew toys" and if no one like that is here there's not much to do.
On the old Amazon atheist forum they actually succeeded, through insults and vile nicknames, in getting rid of all dissenting voices for a while. Within about a week they were discussing inviting some Christians onto the forum to argue with.
Quote:I would bet that I am of very few that you are suggesting actual are, and probably the only person who is making the claims that the definitions of the words significant to the atheists' sense of atheism are inaccurate and adversely effecting the reasoning abilities of individual atheists and the organizational ambitions of atheist activities.
I don't know if you're the ONLY person addressing this kind of thing.
But I agree with you that there are some fuzzy definitions in use, and it's often helpful to clarify them.
So that we can focus the discussion, and maybe make some progress, what specific definition would you like to work on?
