I don't understand the whole civility thing, what's wrong with asking for civility and rational debate?
Because the purpose of that forum is not rational debate. It is a venting room for frustrated people-- a moral support group. I think it's good that such a site exists, but while it adds much to the lives of individuals who want a chance to vent, it certainly (and this is my opinion) is much less of a PLUS to atheism than this site is.
