Well, unless of course, you are a Christian, Republican, or even better, both.
It's amazing how Christians at that site are allowed to get away with practically anything they choose to, especially their typically hateful speech. Try Mentioning Joy Behar or Woody Allen on that site. A case in point: I was reading a thread about the Freedom From Religion Foundation suing a Texas town for having a Nativity scene on courthouse property. I originally was going to just ignore it, but the Xtian posts contained within were just too much. For example:
"So if it's taken down, it's EXCLUDING Christians and that's ok with them?"
"They don't care about Christians. You know this. Their argument that non-believers will feel that the courthouse doesn't welcome them is about the lamest I've ever read. Its a building. It doesn't care about what anyone believes."
"Really what I would like to see happen is the Christians (and any other religion who wants to join in ) file a lawsuit against the atheist saying that they are excluding those who do believe. It's discrimination against all religions from the atheist. I probably didn't say this right, but you know what I mean."
"Lets open up a Texas size can of whoop ass on The Freedom From Religion organization! Why is it anyone who believes in a Christian religion has to change their outward displays of their faith to please others who do not believe the same?"
When I pointed out that Nativity scenes, or those of ANY other religion do not belong on government property, I received a vicious response from an alleged Xtian, which ended with essentially telling me to "STFU."
Later on another response saying that I shouldn't "ASSume," pretty much calling me an ass.
Apparently, those responses sat just fine with a biased "moderator" whose name is Jeana. She must be a fan of JBean from Websleuths, or at least attended "The JBean School of Nasty Moderating" because she is quite similar to her.
I responded to those two posts, without cursing (I don't curse on public forums), but in a similar manner. What was the result you ask? The post was deleted almost immediately without warning and I thought that I didn't hit the "Submit" button so I reposted it. Lo and behold and shalakazam, I get a threatening private message from the previously referenced Jeana saying "I don't want to have to delete another post, so knock it off. Once a moderator deletes one of your posts, its advisible NOT to keep reposting it."
First off, I don't allow anyone to talk to me in that condescending manner, and exactly HOW would I know that's what happened? As it happens, Jeana ended up deleting THREE of my posts while the other offending posts continued to sit there. To make matters worse, AFTER the three were deleted, a post appears saying "*KNOCK OFF THE CRAP. IF YOU CAN'T POST LIKE GROWN UPS, DON'T POST. *" in bold of course. This must have caused confusion as to who she was talking to as my posts were already almost instantly deleted. When I responded to that post by referencing something Jeana said in a thread about Christopher Hitchen's death, "I hope its not too hot where he is" that too was deleted. This broad must be a riot at funerals, you know?
It took numerous emails and a suggestion that I hit the "Alert" button to report a post. The other offending posts were then finally edited. Jeana also claims that she suggested in that thread to EVERYONE that they use "Ignore" if they don't like posts by someone. That is patently false. There was NO such suggestion.
Then she actually accused me of "abusing" her in my messages. Of course, it doesn't count for her when she referred to me as being "horribly rude" all day, that I was having a "ridiculous" exchange with her and "No one here would get away with being as rude as you are, so I suggest you grow up, get over yourself and stop arguing. I'm not here to babysit you." Hmm...who is abusing who again?
When will I learn never to frequent forums that consist mainly of bored middle-aged women with nothing better to do? Jeana practically lives on that forum and seems to be there 24 hours a day. What a life you must have, dear. Yep, that's right, she once referred to me in a condescending manner as "dear."
Slowly but surely I started to be less and less inclined to visit that forum what with the bias towards Xtians and "favorite posters" who can get away with just about anything, like another individual with a disgusting foul mouth who I will only refer to as "a fairylike or elfin creature."
As a result of the exchange with Jeana, I was timed out for three days and eventually banned when I had the nerve to respond to her during an email exchange that *she* initiated, and she said sarcastically, that maybe someday we could be friends. Right, and I'm the Czar of all the Russias after all that just went down.
So good riddance, JusticeQuest, it's a relief to know that I won't be tempted to put up with any of that nonsense again.
