I was also massively in favour of the Christian adverts. The only difference was that I didn't donate because I didn't support the message.
I even encouraged people not to complain about the Christian bus advert at the time, precisely because it promoted a double standard: http://atheistblogger.com/2009/02/07/how...us-advert/
Quote:Free speech is not allowed on this site. People are banned for saying things judged to be offensive.Yes it is. We used to have a policy against offence, but we removed that ages ago since there was never any truly objective way of evaluating it.
Our rules are quite clear now. Anything goes in the way of discussion. You can call someone names, insult and belittle them all you like, but it doesn't look good if you do. We encourage politeness in discussions.
The only form of speech we disallow is preaching, since it accomplishes nothing and goes against the purpose of a discussion forum. We class it the same as spamming. The difference between preaching and discussing one's beliefs is very clear though.
