54. Oh, I see. You thought I meant you should be TS'd.

There are a few reasons why that's obviously not what I meant.

-I continued to talk about literal pizza.
-"Pizza," "granite," and "tombstone" are defunct terms for banning and have been for a few months now.
-Group hosts can't ban DUers.

So it's quite a stretch to read a suggestion that the group hosts throw you a pizza party as a desire for you to be banned from the site.

Having read this subthread, I'm not sure you ever made a coherent point let alone a difficult truth.	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#77
Avoid? I'm DIRECTLY dealing with the fact that your posts are incoherent...	cleanhippie	Mar 2012	#78
Many accusations, but absolutely no substance, nor rebuttal, nor	humblebum	Mar 2012	#79
Dude, you replied to Msongs post above with a completely incoherent post. THAT is what we are	cleanhippie	Mar 2012	#80

Wow, one single post, and you are back to incoherence.	cleanhippie	Mar 2012	#84

Yeah, wow. That dude on the right deserves to get choked and have his sign ripped up!	PassingFair	Mar 2012	#14
He certainly does not. But he is also most certainly not sitting quietly	cbayer	Mar 2012	#16
Yeah. That kind of militant shit pisses me off, too.	PassingFair	Mar 2012	#19
I don't object to militancy at all, particularly when it is used by a group that has	cbayer	Mar 2012	#20
You consider someone dressing up as Mohammed and the Pope as "militance"?	PassingFair	Mar 2012	#23

The fact remains: this year-old article is pushing its own agenda through a strawman.	rug	Mar 2012	#10
You mean like believers who find a dictionary that lists strong atheism as #1	dmallind	Mar 2012	#12
I can't make sense of your first sentence.	rug	Mar 2012	#17
It's simple Englisj. At what point does it become incomprehensible fot you?	dmallind	Mar 2012	#21
You lost me at Englisj.	rug	Mar 2012	#24

Because I volunteer for the Democratic Party, and...	MarkCharles	Mar 2012	#22
I would hope so. The stakes are too high to be tepid.	rug	Mar 2012	#25
So, being a militant Democrat is a good thing because being a Democrat is a good thing.	2ndAmForComputers	Mar 2012	#59
I surprised the term is seen as a pejorative.	rug	Mar 2012	#67

Since I'm not here to start a flame war, I'll continue to post relevant pieces.	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#39
Ok, try to keep the"relevance" under six months.	rug	Mar 2012	#40
LOL!	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#42
Ah, I missed Niose's insights into centuries-old books, people, and philosophies	rug	Mar 2012	#43
Well, at least we have you to single-handedly determine what is and isn't allowable here.	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#44
You post it. I'll comment.	rug	Mar 2012	#45
Ridiculous	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#46
Come, laconicsax, speak plainiy.	rug	Mar 2012	#47
If you're reading something into my posts, it isn't there by my design.	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#48
I see. You are offering to buy me a pizza from Domino's.	rug	Mar 2012	#49
Close enough, I suppose.	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#50
You suggested Domino's.	rug	Mar 2012	#51
You may recall that I said, "I prefer to avoid them"	laconicsax	Mar 2012	#52

Militant atheist is misused to refer to any atheist who publicly discusses their atheism.	Warren Stupidity	Mar 2012	#75
"Publicly defend atheistic beliefs" - so are you saying that	humblebum	Mar 2012	#85
Now this is a coherent post. Well done.	cleanhippie	Mar 2012	#86
Certainly no less coherent than any other post. The incoherence lies in your ability	humblebum	Mar 2012	#87
Man, even when I agree with you, you feel the need to go off on a tangent of incoherence.	cleanhippie	Mar 2012	#92
Maybe it's because I think your definition of "coherence" is conditional and subjective,	humblebum	Mar 2012	#93
Yeah, you keep "thinking" whatever you want.	cleanhippie	Mar 2012	#94
most of us believe in evidence based reasoning	Warren Stupidity	Mar 2012	#95
It is either a belief system or it is not, rigidly structured or not.	humblebum	Mar 2012	#96
