Quote:Oh and I was asked to join AFTER I spoke out against Ian Cromwell's stance on race, Taslima's stance on prostitution and against Atheism Plus for being so rigid in it's outlook that it condemned people who were genuinely helping women achieve freedom.Two words: Damage Control.
Quote:The issue is some of the harassment faced is frankly insane. I have had people straight up tell people not to go to my site because it was on FTB because I was now taking money to write (A dollar! Wooo! The things I could buy! If I had 5 of them I could get myself a Big Mac back home in the UK!)Sorry, but when you choose to associate with people who have lied multiple times and kicked people out of their community for voicing their own opinions, despite being told beforehand that they were quite welcome to do so, you can't really complain when people ask others to avoid the site.
Quote:FTB is not rigid as you think, it's just that anti-FTBers have gotten on various shit lists so it looks like everyone is united against them for different reasons.I haven't gotten onto any shit-lists that I know of, but I look at the kinds of posts they have there, and the kinds of behaviours their writers have, and they seem very rigid to me. Certainly they do not represent anything to do with "freethought".
