Atheism+ may talk like they want social justice, but they act more like their only concern is squashing dissent. Starting a movement that's supposed to be about equality while vehemently demonizing anyone that disagrees with you is just stupid.
Quote:Can't disagree with you. If folks want to start their own association based on some core principles that may or may not stem from their lack of belief, more power to them. If they can get feet through the door so to speak, then there's obviously a good reason to set it up.I'd say that right wing leaning atheists should form a forum, I've met some people here who lean on the right but sometimes we're not comfortable talking about our views because most people here are liberals
Quote:But as above, if you start something like that and are trying to convince people to follow it, you have to open it up to critique and dissent. Otherwise what's the point? Sure a lot of people who criticised Myers and A+ in general were people whose constribution was 'LUL, women deserve to get raped LOLOLOL' etc, but there were a lot of people who wanted to examine their stance in more detail and in a rational manner but who were denied that chance simply for not towing the party line. If my time on the internets in atheism 'communities' has taught me anything it's that the online atheist 'community' in general doesn't like censorship.I've personally read a few random threads on A+... Some people were trolls and even argued that men were better and superior to women, etc, but others were asking legitimate questions with little to no harm
I guess every Forum administrator is allowed to make the rules, but you are not exempt from outside criticism.
Quote:I haven't read the others as much but Thunderfoot's posts I am quite familiar with. He doesn't attack feminists at all, he attacks their unsupported claims. There is a huge difference between the two, A really big, vast, enormous difference.You have to be a complete idiot to think Tf00t doesn't genuinely take pleasure into starting a war with feminists. Curiously I haven't seen many supported claims by him b sides some idiotic analogies like "Preventing rape is similar to locking your house's door lock".
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
