Atheists & Agnostics
Related: About this forumLaconicsax made DU suck less.
Now that laconicsax is gone, DU sucks more. Simple math.
I had taken a self-imposed break from DU, and I return to find the same shit show still going on. I think my break will continue.
I will keep an eye on the forums now and again, just for sentimental reasons, and will check my inbox. If anyone finds a better place to congregate and deal with the problems we face everyday as non-believers, please let me know where it is, because this is no longer it.
Cheers,

(18,219 posts)He always treated me well and was kind to me. If you didn't shit on him, he was respectful to you.
I really will miss him. I wish it would not have come to this.
Best wishes, Laconicsax.

(6,452 posts)A lot of atheist websites are full of Randians and dumbass libertarian Paulites. I want a Progressive website that's geared towards atheists, but I didn't find one that worked for me.
Laconicsax knows he fucked up, and isn't even really arguing the PPR. At this point it doesn't sound he's going to petition admin for a stay of judgment.

(101,348 posts)While it's not a forum, so ordinary users can't start threads themselves, there are regular open 'zombie' threads where you can bring up anything; and PZ himself is progressive (as are many of the commenters, though I can't speak for them all - I rarely venture into the comments).

You're right, laconicsax did make this place better. And the degree of suckage is currently high enough to pose a threat to a NASA vacuum chamber.

(5,963 posts)But I digress. No matter how much it made me laugh, it WAS a really wrong thing to do.
However, given the previous track record, I still think PPR was far too harsh.
