Civilized trial thread

[Whateverist]

Civilised? I'm British doncha know. Tea and scones anyone?

Or can I offer some crumpet to keep the pecker up?

Yes, please.  Just one lump, dear.

If only it worked that way.  The trial is not here, but in creating a safe space.

And I'm always going to bring that round by saying that if they wanted a safe space, they should be debating on forums that will support their ideologies. This place is not for creating safe spaces for theists and given the name of the entire web site, it shouldn't be.

That’s fine, because I don’t think anyone is suggesting a “safe space”.

I would also say, that discussing with civility, has nothing to do with being offended or someone making you uncomfortable IMHO. Some people get offended by anything and everything no matter how it is done, and whether or not there is really any issue. I can explain something logically and rationally, and someone may be offended, because they don’t like the conclusion. It does mean that I was uncivil.

Fruedian slip, or typo?

So, have some of you stopped dragging your knuckles on the ground, and become civilized, yet?

I hope the subforum gets set up. I think it's a great idea, CL!

Don't be silly ...I'm insulted! FYI, I'm 4 generations standing up straight!

I explained my intention for the subforum thoroughly and repeatedly over the course of numerous posts on a thread that is now 20+ pages long. And that is what you come away with? That it's supposed to be a section where atheists can't challenge/debate with Christians? Lol.

Either you are being disingenuous on purpose for the sake of trash talking us, or you honestly did not comprehend the words that were typed out in front of you.

Neither option makes you look good, but I think the latter is the more charitable assumption, so I'll take that.

I think that it is interesting; the number of people who seem to think that a section limited to civilized conversation is a hinderence to their atheistic voice! This thread is hilarious and somewhat enlightening.

Hey! The rest of those atheist fuckers don't speak for truly civil cunts such as my atheist self. Oh shit I said fucker. And cunt. Oh shit I said fucker, cunt, "oh shit I said fucker. And cunt" and I am now caught in an infinite self referential loop of profanity

Looks like most other atheist forums threads

Yay! Work in progress!

How is it not a safe space? It literally is supposed to be a part of the forum where you won't be insulted, even if you say the stupidiest most preachy shit on the planet. Thats a safe space.

Aldo there are already several places on the forum for this already. Including the not very frequently used 'debate area' I can't see this turning into anything other than a platform for theists to preach, be insulting and not get called cuntbags when they act like them.

I guess if staff agrees to give this a shot and do a trial run, we'd just have to see what happens. But that certainly isn't my intention for the subforum.
