Derek, it's the internet. Is either porn or snarky comments, or both.

^^^This.^^^

Derek, you are on an atheist forum. We are a terse, crass, and caustic bunch. I think you'll find that anywhere. If you were here 2 years and posted something absurd (not saying what you posted was absurd), you would be called out on it just the same. If you don't think you can handle that, then maybe this isn't the place for you after all. Check out the introduction threads to see how welcoming we actually are, if you do it the right way. As it is your first couple of posts were telling us that you couldn't be arsed to look up the rules after they were pointed out to you. You made it seem like they weren't clear or weren't evident, when there is a link to them on literally every page you visit on this site. I don't think anyone called you a liar, we just pointed out that you were wrong. You then were defensive like we were being assholes.

We don't know you. We get a lot of trolls on this site, as you probably can imagine. So when someone's first post is to ask us to read a book on Amazon, you can imagine what that would be like to us, yeah? If someone walked up to a any group IRL and just asked them to read a book without any sort of introduction, what would your response be? If you contribute to this site, stick around a while, prove to us that you have valuable opinions, then the odds are that at least someone would check out your book. But, come on man, be reasonable.

ETA: You ninja'd me. I started this before you posted...

The end.
