Reading Cato's link brought back painful memories of the events of 2007 on the old Internet Infidels Discussion Board. I was so demoralized by that event, I gave up on the internet atheist community until now.
You were there too?
I watched that meltdown/blowup with dismay, until I realized it was bringing the lesson home that anyone -- anyone, "rational", "atheist", "freethinker" -- anyone can succumb to groupthink, lockstep conformity pressures, and excluded-middle dispshittery.
