This is one of the best posts I've read in a long time EvolveOrConvolve Feb 2012 #1

"relegated to their own water fountains" darkstar3 Feb 2012 #2

Thanks for an excellent post. mr blur Feb 2012 #3

I like the tama Feb 2012 #4

Another technique is to hide obnoxious behavior under the mantle of minority oppression. rug Feb 2012 #5

Or to try to attach the tag "obnoxious behavior" skepticscott Feb 2012 #6

It's self-evident. rug Feb 2012 #7

There is much less tama Feb 2012 #8

Sorry, but baloney skepticscott Feb 2012 #9

More of the same tama Feb 2012 #14

Well stated tama, and absolutely true. nt humblebum Feb 2012 #11

And some are only able to respond with obvious sarcasm, off the wall comedy, or humblebum Feb 2012 #18

Well, you're the one fond of the alert button, mr blur Feb 2012 #47

Very seldom do I use the alert button and as far as an "honest" response humblebum Feb 2012 #49

Your post is a good illustration of the OP's point EvolveOrConvolve Feb 2012 #12

Granted tama Feb 2012 #15

"Why is that?" Because one side has a history of consistent abusive tactics and language Leontius Feb 2012 #16

It WASN'T abusive EvolveOrConvolve Feb 2012 #17

Questioning someone's beliefs tama Feb 2012 #19

Question my beliefs, no problem there anytime you want to go ahead. Leontius Feb 2012 #20

You are talking out of both sides of your face. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #27

A question tama Feb 2012 #44

ONE side? You obviously can't see the log in your own eye, darkstar3 Feb 2012 #21

No I admit I have violated my own principle before and have seen believers attacks Leontius Feb 2012 #26

When you say "anti religious bigots" darkstar3 Feb 2012 #28

I realize when I say anti-religious bigots that's exactly what I mean, bigots, so play your game Leontius Feb 2012 #30

Oh, if only that were true. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #32

Go right ahead and if I think you're right I'll say so and they can delete my post Leontius Feb 2012 #36

Thank you. You've provided a perfect example of my point. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #22

Only if you confuse the obnoxious with the offensive. rug Feb 2012 #48

Either way, you're recategorizing that which you dislike as socially out of bounds, darkstar3 Feb 2012 #50

Uh, no. Obnoxious assholes are an objectively observable phenemenon. rug Feb 2012 #51

Irony? darkstar3 Feb 2012 #52

Observation. rug Feb 2012 #53

Spot on! cleanhippie Feb 2012 #10

Interesting darkstar3 Feb 2012 #23

I would have to say that alerting on your OP is an abuse of the jury system Leontius Feb 2012 #24

Agreed tama Feb 2012 #29

False. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #31

No doubt tama Feb 2012 #41

Bet you never saw post #31 coming did you? Leontius Feb 2012 #33

Based on your responses here, there are a lot of things you never saw. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #34

Are you questioning tama Feb 2012 #43

Not really, I think you knew it was coming. I'm just surprised it took 12 minutes Leontius Feb 2012 #45

"Poster insults atheists" - with the average DU jury that would be a non-starter. nt mr blur Feb 2012 #46

Sorry to get off topic, but I am really interested in your personal journey from ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #35

Another time, perhaps. darkstar3 Feb 2012 #37

Very fair. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #38

I'm not sure that atheists are in the minority on this site. cbayer Feb 2012 #39

I think a distinction needs to be made between this group and DU at large. laconicsax Feb 2012 #40

I know as a mod we were pretty agressive about moving threads to Religion, cbayer Feb 2012 #42
