I do hope you understand, however, despite what a good idea this sub forum idea is, there is no way they’re allowing it. Not because of you, but it’s just how they are. Change is good, but apparently it’s never good for this forum. It’s one of the reason’s I left, and will probably be why I leave again.

The voting result would be the conclusion on this.
Though; when this forum loses the fight under surrenders to the waves of bots and trolls -the same wave that ruined the Internet-, it will lose its soul and it will lose itself with it.

Humans have already began migrating from forums to social media almost a decade ago -like Twitter- where places like AF spawn naturally and bots/mechanical responses are way easier to detect and ignore; even block and prosecute.

Still; I have a bit of faith about this place, and that I will finally see Human Rights being protected by it via a specified section.

Nothing you say would take off what she said

So after her comment and ignoramus comment; you come here to insert a more diplomatic reply to save some face ?

Arewethereyet’s comment was neither xenophobic nor Islamophobic. It was based on YOUR past behaviour in this Forum. She said nothing about foreigners, nothing about Islam - she spoke about you and you alone. And I can’t say I disagree with her.

Iggy’s comment was somewhat broader, but didn’t violate the [Serious] rules.

This isn’t a face-saving measure, because no one has lost face.

RE: Human Rights Section: the voting topic
So much for human rights, I guess. Faced with an example of self determination that doesn't resolve in his favor, it's time to set fire to the earth again. That would be a textbook example of how we erode those rights from the bottom up, if this thread were still about human rights.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I never criticized the genetics of "westerners"; nor attacked them. My topics are about "western governments and regimes", and I said it in some of my previous topics too.

Actually it seems to me that criticizing the western governments is immediately turned to a criticism of the western people by certain members.

Under the guideline for this thread, I'm not allowed to insult you but I am allowed to politely point out when you're lying.

I politely do so.

Quote:Just read the comment of "ignoramus" again for example to recognize that there's a non-Muslim privilege that even the most extreme xenophobic people have.

Matey, if you can't understand that, as atheists, we don't really care much to discriminate over which brand of fairy tale you subscribe to, then there's not much more we can do for you.
You are losing friends here over your flawed beliefs, not your nationality or race.
Ask us again what we think of the pope? Just to alleviate some of your paranoia.
This is not your forum. The poll has answered your question. Time to move on and stop being another snowflake like "Excited Penguin".

Thumb up

Just so I prove that you are the liar, that you are the biased fuck that is targeting me in this forum:

It equals Western governments and systems and the people who support them

AtlasS33 is my previous username.

So read my quote probably you liar. Let me say that you were targeting me over and over and either letting other atheists to trash me with no response from you -and you're supposed to be a mod- or from the mods or doing the trashing yourself.

The post that I quoted is from March 3, 2019 at 2:11 am, before this topic is even written.
I knew you're a lying troll all along; btw. May Allah expose you every day.

For the rest who bought into the crap this member and his followers are advocating? shame on you.

Honestly? you and others like you use that tibs is not around to wreck what he built.

Given the number of people voting, I'd say that a lot of people look and figure that it's going to be a blame fest and abstained. Those who bothered to look (BTW, I almost didn't bother to open this thread, but I was bored) voted 2/3 for no extra forum.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Then why did you enter the topic if you didn't want to read it?
Bored doesn't justify a trolling vote. If you were bored, the internet is so wide. I thought you knew how to read the "serious" note.
