Make Atheist Forums Great Again (Part 1)

Those are both broad generalizations about a large class of people without anything really backing them up.  As already stated, I think you're simply wrong.  And this disingenuous bit about how what you said may or may not have been a slur is straining at gnats to avoid any discussion of the actual point I was making.


Well obviously if I don't think the entire mod team has that vibe I sure don't think the entire forum does.  I didn't mean the forum as whole in the sense of "without exception", and I certainly don't mean you.  I just mean there is a loud and conspicuous portion of the forum giving rise to that vibe, and there is very little if any push back from the site's leaders against it.  I think the reason they don't is that "freedom of speech" is put on too a high a pedestal here.  There isn't even a culture of regret toward some unavoidable but toxic forms of speech.

You have your surly moments but you've always been very much worth it because you're so smart and insightful.  You are also versatile enough to go civil when you want as you showed during the brief, wondrous life of that sub-forum Tibs started.  Besides you've just become more open and at times vulnerable over the years making pushing you even higher in my regard.  You still have and probably will always have a tendency to lash out when someone hits a nerve - as Shell does and as I do as well.  But that isn't what I'm complaining about.

I'm not going to discuss this with you anymore. I've said I don't think you have a leg to stand on, and I stand by that. Be part of the solution or continue to be part of the problem/blame it all on me. I don't care. I'm too busy actually trying to do something. Again, good day.


That's fine.  I have nothing more to say to you about it anyhow.  Thanks for what you all are trying to do but I remain on the fence.  

If it is any consolation to anyone still reading my posts I don't think AD is entirely free of the kind of participation I object to.  But like this place, they are working on it.

Good day, madam.
