When PZMyers joins the forum and starts posting and expressing that he thinks this witchhunt is ridiculous (as he did yesterday) then NO I won't ignore what is going on or being posted.
Ah you see, I haven't seen PZ post in this forum, nor do I even like him. And so, I personally don't care what he thinks or says, it's meaningless to me.

I have no problem with people joining here.. does no one understand this? All i have done is ask everyone to calm down. If you want an atheist community - you have one here. But drop the hatred of dawkins and Josh.. if you consider the fucked up then that is up to you. Even if you think they did -
As you might have noticed, the venting has died down a lot already. Along with any insults directed towards Josh and RD. People are already moving on (myself included) and finding their way about the forum, and possibly looking towards joining another forum.
do they deserve the kind of words and hatred aimed at them that we usually expect to be expressed by Westboro Baptists?
In my opinion, yes.
I'll be honest here Eless, you're comments are, in my opinion, incredibly off-putting and some were uncalled for. We didn't ask for Josh to murder RDnet, and many of us were invited to come here. This section of the forum was put up so that we could vent and get our frustrations out. It was not our intention to make the vet members of Ratz feel uncomfortable, including you. So please don't make it seem as if we're doing it on purpose.
And from my point of view, it does seem like you don't want many of us here. And in a way, that's understandable. Having such a huge influx of new members would put me off too. But I wouldn't place blame on them all, for something they have not all done, as you have. Not everyone is insulting Josh or RD, and to claim we're "dragging your name" through the mud, is a unneeded exaggeration.
These past three days have been rough for us all, and I do thank all the vets and original Ratz members for putting up with us in the first place.
That includes you, Eless.
Edit: Forgot something!
Life has already set up a new forum, and from what I can see, many of us newcomers are already migrating there. However you're all stuck with me. I like it here to much.
I worked in a cinema for 6 years, keep the popcorn the fuck away!
