In the wake of the big change at TMF, Atheist Fools migrated to other sites. Some moved to Facebook, a group not open to trolls. A site on 'discord' became a 'zone flooded with shit' from the worst of the extreme right wing publications.

There you go again relying on sources that take advantage of your ignorance.
Why do you keep doing that?


That is a good question.

Atheist Fools who visited the Discord board have largely left it, landing on Atheist Shrewds. Right wing extremists who 'flooded the discord zone with shit' have followed.

Atheist are, in general, people who have considered both sides of the theologic coin. They read, they considered, they arrived at a rational conclusion but remain open to new evidence. Atheists are not likely to be swayed by people regurgitating opinions based on religiousity and NRA dogma.

So, "why do you keep doing that" is an interesting question.

Is it simply to be obnoxious, aka,'own libs?' Is it some kind of pathological attention seeking? They have to know gaslighting, strawmen, and moronic youtube bloggers are weak sauce on a board populated by Atheists.

So, why?

Proving again - even Atheists have their Taliban Intolerance, just like other faiths.

"waaa waaa don't say God Bless you to me" waaa waaaa that's a religious salutation or farewell.

Get over it.

As far as migration.

There was a time LOOTP was Liberal. Political Asylum Conservative.

Liberals invaded.

Conservative Fools.

Liberals invaded.

Retire Early CampFIRE.

Liberals invaded.

FA FA FA.




Getting posters banned.

Then - lol - the boards got CLOSED but one board remained - Economics or something like that and political chat was happening - but Liberals kept FA'ing and at that point, SOMEONE, giggle - a fine fellow, a generous lover, and all around good guy made a point to FA the crap out of everything just for fun and then - BAM that board got shut down also.

Now the Liberals - just like in their cities, campuses, and workplaces and enclaves wanted to self segregate again. A few went to Facebook.

And some "Atheist Fools" - are merely extremists who want their own version of Little Annie Decoder Ring and secret handshake.



Real simple: Don't like a post, don;'t read it. Or don't respond to it.

Here's to those, who can hear opposing views. That is NOT the Militant Atheist Taliban, the Muslim Taliban, and the Social Right Taliban. Those - despite their wishes - are all the same persons.

He mentions Discord. What he didn't say was that when he joined, he fired off almost nothing but nasty comments.

My demoralizing and profoundly frustrating experience on Discord involved other boards. And the nasty comments were fired off by those who were convinced that their sadly misinformed views and false facts were gospel. It was impossible to discuss anything, impossible to clarify anything. Frustrating beyond belief. So I finally left.

ONLY in response to inane insults made by MAGAt lies and insults; low-hanging fruit. Tersely calling bullshit on bullshit, is called honesty; efficiency in writing.


Several civil posters echoed exactly what I wrote, albeit in lengthy, civil prose.
I admire Albaby and Porguy's civility and measured responses. I really do. But, for all their effort they received exactly the same response on Discord as me.

ONLY in response

No, no, no. You rolled in and insulted everyone you could find. You were no victim.

Identifying nonsense, strawmen, gaslighting and misinformation is not insulting a person. It's identifying nonsense, strawmen, gaslighting and misinformation.
On a brighter note,
The wheels of justice roll slowly, but finally, FatDon is arrested!

Identifying nonsense, strawmen,

LOL. We define "insult" differeintly.

You define "insult" as "Saying something that I don't agree with". When you read something that triggers you, you go off.

Absolutely. Between the rights alternative definitions and alternative facts, lies the 2024 Trump Campaign.
Good to see MTG and George Santos in Manhattan supporting the master of alt fact and alt definitions.

No. I have regularly had discussions with Sano where we say things each other disagrees with. We 100% completely disagree about whether or not the earth is overpopulated and have numerous discussions about it without being insulting to each other.

What we find insulting though is dealing with people who regularly engage in intellectual dishonesty. People who regularly misrepresent what their opponents say. People who refuse to acknowledge facts that run counter to their views.

Being dishonest with someone is insulting them, so that is why you constantly get insults in return.

That's nice. Totally irrelevant in terms of how he treats other people, but still nice.

Well then, now I'm surprised to hear that your disagreements with him remain civil.

Nope. It's as I said. That you and others can't handle even minor pressure shows that it's a You problem, not a Me problem.
