I've been involved in a lot of internet discussion groups over the years, and I think this is the first time I've ever seen a whole group so vocally reject a generic "Can't we all just get along?" message. Is there some particular reason that the members of this forum think civility is a bad thing? Are you all actively trying to reenforce all the negative stereotypes that theists believe about us atheists?
None of us think civility is a bad thing, fromper. We just don't think it's a blanket rule. We play by the "tit for tat" rule, rather than the "turn the other cheek" rule. You come in here and shit on our doorstep, we'll usher you out just the same.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
