Last edited Tue Apr 24, 2012, 10:25 PM USA/ET - Edit history (4) Seriously? If you really believe that, I would argue that you haven't been paying attention.
Edited to add: To EvolveOrConvolve: D'oh! Beat me by a minute. 
Further edit: On a more serious note, posters like him aren't looking for common ground, in my opinion. He and others have said things that are condescending toward, dismissive of, and downright insulting to non-believers on several occasions, so I don't think there's any common ground to be had, quite frankly. They've even been told multiple times not only when they've said insulting things to non-believers, but why those things are insulting, and most of the time they don't back down and they don't apologize. I'm not going to reach out my hand to people like that, even if we share common political aims, if that's part of the deal. It seems to me that much of the time they want non-believers to vote Democratic when the time comes, but they want us to shut up and not make a fuss before election day lest we drive voters into the cold, uncaring arms of the GOP.

I remember when I first found the atheist group, you were very encouraging to me----and I appreciated that and will always remember it. So it isn't all about your fight with the R/T forum.
I have said it in the past and will say it again----you take the wrong tone in too many of your posts, and that is what gets the religious people so fired up. I continue to advocate for rational and polite discussion from us---and if the religious people want to be disrespectful, it is all on them and it will be there for all to see. But with that said, I hope you change your mind. That was an uncalled-for post that you responded to, and it was a bullshit decision to hide your post.....just take pleasure in how many people will look at it just because it is hidden.  |

|
...and I just can't find the right words to express my frustration that a jury would actually allow that post to stand. Did the jurors say what reasoning they had for it? I mean, how is it not plainly obvious to anybody how bigoted that statement was?
But having said all that, I'm glad I found the Atheists & Agnostics group here, as it's really great to have a group of generally like-minded non-theists to at least share these frustrations with at times like this. So please don't bail, cleanhippie. We're all in this together, man.  |

And it's one of the reasons I put that bigoted asshole on ignore.
What disappoints me even more than the failure of the jury in this case is the complete failure of DU's allegedly tolerant, liberal theists to confront that jerkwad - EVER. I can read from that only one thing: they agree with what he says. Take a break like I did. Then come back and make better use of your Ignore list. |

Last edited Wed Apr 25, 2012, 10:27 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2) Yep, and he's not the only religious poster who gets a pass, either. Not one theist came out swinging in defense of atheists when this bullshit got posted, and it didn't get hidden, either.
Absolutely second the advice to take a break, too. I left my Ignore list at 0 when DU3 went live, but people have slowly been making their way back onto it since then.
