What's with all the deleted posts? [View all] Lordquinton Mar 2017 OP
Or a fear of intolerance, and its effects? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #1
I don't follow Lordquinton Mar 2017 #11
It must remain a mystery. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #12
Still can't rule out Rapture... Lordquinton Mar 2017 #16
You knew what was in those threads. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #17
So did you Lordquinton Mar 2017 #18
This op was not necessary and violates the rules against meta in this room. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #19
No. Lordquinton Mar 2017 #20
If that is true then you would self delete this now that you got your answer. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #22
No? Lordquinton Mar 2017 #23
Of course you won't self delete this. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #24
I believe that deleting threads is a way of shutting down discussion Lordquinton Mar 2017 #27
If you want to open this group up to meta threads than that is a topic worth discussing. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #28
Keep pushing your meme Lordquinton Mar 2017 #37
It is a shame that games are being played in this room. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #42
There are other ways of shutting down discussion also. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #39
Which is the motive of some in this room. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #44
Well, as you noted, this IS a Meta discussion, and unrelated to the purpose guillaumeb Mar 2017 #45
I used to get so angry when certain poster used to stomp all over my threads hrmjustin Mar 2017 #47
Me too, hrmjustin. littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #52
Based on reccent posting history, I would agree. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #62
Your recent posting? littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #66
There are groups in which religious discussion is protected. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #72
Ditto. eom littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #76
I have no idea what that means. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #81
Hahaha littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #83
My apologies. Went right over my head. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #84
That's ok, sorry to hear about your trouble. littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #86
Death of a Salesman Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #87
Just a general observation on my part. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #77
Now we're talking. ♡ littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #78
Another way to shut down discussion is by pressing the button. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #91
We have deleted posts in this forum all the time. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #2
No we don't. There are 7 on the front page, 6 by a single user. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #4
What is going on? hrmjustin Mar 2017 #5
Something odd. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #6
Do tell! hrmjustin Mar 2017 #7
If I knew AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #9
This whole thing is just so amazing. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #10
Agreed. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #15
Something is going on. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #8
So it's a bad thing that this forum is getting a lot of traffic? Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #25
Any thoughts on why there is an increase of posts in here lately? hrmjustin Mar 2017 #29
Maybe a lack of "atheists suck" posts Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #30
I haven't noticed that but to be honest I rarely engage in those threads. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #31
It's a crazy world. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #32
Indeed they do. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #33
And there are certainly atheists that are horrible, too. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #34
We all have our moments. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #35
Do you participate in the religion sucks posts? Lordquinton Mar 2017 #38
I have. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #43
What's interesting about it? Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #57
Nice cartoon. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #58
♡ eom littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #80
Which brings up the obvious response to your claim: guillaumeb Mar 2017 #40
"But the negative original posts about religion and believers seem to far outnumber the positives." Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #59
1) A claim was made. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #63
Yes, it is unreasonable. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #67
If anyone makes a claim, they should be more than happy guillaumeb Mar 2017 #68
Now, that's a priggish response. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #69
IS yours an evasive response? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #75
Evasive? I'm flat out refusing you. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #82
Ok, let's apply this evenly Lordquinton Mar 2017 #73
If I state something as fact, what are the consequences? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #90
Well, your first comment was rebutted already Lordquinton Mar 2017 #94
Somehow I missed the rebuttal. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #96
Take that up with the person you were talking with about that issue Lordquinton Mar 2017 #98
That's not what I said Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #74
What you said: guillaumeb Mar 2017 #92
Your claim: "suggested that these negative posts might be a response to the many 'atheists suck'" Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #93
The "horrors of atheism"? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #97
Welcome to a politically left leaning discussion board. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #104
There was one not too long ago Lordquinton Mar 2017 #95
Are you kidding? beam me up scottie Mar 2017 #99
Atheist groups are also very cautious Lordquinton Mar 2017 #100
Good point. I run into anti-atheist sentiment often here in the bible belt. beam me up scottie Mar 2017 #101
Didn't you know? The cold water they splash on you to wake you up Lordquinton Mar 2017 #103
Someone died, rose and appointed delete police. littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #65

Accidental performance art? Lordquinton Mar 2017 #70
You can ask her. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #71
There is so much unintended irony here. :) (nt) bekkilyn Mar 2017 #79
That maybe true but my point still stands. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #85
Her OP's haven't been hidden Lordquinton Mar 2017 #88
Whatever! I didn't alert, or ask anyone to alert. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #89
When has that ever happened? AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #105
I don't keep a list of my interactions with every poster. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #106
No need in either case. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #107
Of course. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #108
