We have rules to avoid behaviours that disrupt the forum civility.Then the rules or their enforcement are failing miserably, as it's a very uncivil forum. Doesn't bother me, but why pretend otherwise?
Quote:You said half of Min's posts were 'bad'. The way I see it, the other half makes more contribution than you ever did and will do for 10 years if he stopped posting now.It doesn't - or shouldn't - matter how you see it, as that has nothing to do with the rules. The new flaming rule doesn't mention that you can flame up to 50% of the time as long as LastPoet thinks your other 50% are worthwhile.
Quote:The idea is to make a general rule against theist or atheist dumbfucks that use this forum for any other reasons than to have a discussion. Your pet peeve against Minimalist has no weight on that.Are you insane? DO words mean something else where you live? If Minimalist is making posts for purposes other than discussion, then yes, they should be banned if their is a " general rule against theist or atheist dumbfucks that use this forum for any other reasons than to have a discussion." Amazing that you wrote those two sentences back-to-back.

Can you guys imagine what that would do to this place?!
I consider the rules around here very lax, when you take into account the nature of this forum. I like them that way.
I think they're inviting to atheists and theists alike... although they do allow atheists to mock theists... and theists, don't usually mock, nor like being mocked by others. So, in practice, it ends up being an atheist freebie!
