IMO the attacks started on the second or third page when Eva was called a cunt even though she had explicitly flagged up that she found it offensive. Then it went downhill from there.
But whatever. Please, can we leave it there? Otherwise it'll just kick off again.

Different people came here for different reasons. I came here off the original RA site specifically because I enjoyed arguing with intelligent theists and talking about science. There's not much of either these days.

I find it interesting that someone would bring the notion of free speech into this subject, as if Lily had "rights". This forum is not a democracy, nor is it any kind of society. It's a forum on the Internet, where the owner decides who stays and who doesn't. If a user is being a nuisance, we get rid of it. Or do you guys ignore rat infestations in your house because animals have rights too? No, I refuse to believe that.
|
Who is the owner in this scenario?
Sure, she has no real rights, but that does not mean it’s fair or even beneficial to the forum as a whole to ban her for voicing her opinions in an orderly fashion.
None of us have any intrinsic rights here; we could all be banned for a multitude of reasons without justification by the owner. However, that means that eventually there would be nobody left to ban.

The owners in this case are Chris and the mods.
Yes, anyone can be banned without justification, technically. Why is this relevant? Oh, you mean banning someone "without" (yeah right) reason, would be stating a bad example?
Remember, this forum is not a right, it is a privilege. Of course, if the admin decides that the forum is to operate under strict democracy, then so be it. But I haven't seen any explicit claims of that.

Indeed. The owner in this case is Chris. And I don't want to speak for her, but I know that she would say that she defers ownership to each and every one of us.

I assume you mean this:

bullshit. Intent means a lot. It's very easy to envisage a scenario in which a white man can call a black man a nigger with no malice whatsoever. (cf Howard Stern) If you think in such absolute terms then you're probably going to get offended a lot. Either way, there's no need to be such a cunt about it......
|
I'm not going to argue this again because it's a total waste of time, as indeed is most of the forum these days. I will, however, remind you that this was not meant as an attack. Those who cannot see the inherent joke* in what I wrote are people with whom I cannot have a reasonable discourse, because they are seemingly incapable of detecting nuances and subtleties. This type of absolutist attitude, which invariably engenders extreme reactions, reminds me of theism, which coincidentally reminds me of cunts...

Yes, I did mean that.
No, you're right, we shouldn't argue it again, so let's not. Sorry I mentioned it.

You care too much about postings on an interweb forum. I’m perfectly capable of applying selective reading and filtering out her posts, perhaps you aren’t trying hard enough? Perhaps you enjoy e-drama?
It's fucking retarded to seek out a popularity vote on kicking someone who has done no wrong other than to voice her (twisted, imo) opinions. How fucking cowardly.
What you don’t seem to realize Professor Cutie Pie is that if everyone that did not want to have anything to do with her just ignored her every point and post she would eventually loose interest. And if there are several members that wish to converse with her, then how can it possibly be right and fair to ban her just because you’re ass is sore?
I don’t see how any right thinking person can think it is acceptable to ban someone just because you dislike this individuals opinions. Come on…

Being the cowardly retard that launched this poll, I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.
I am sorry that the legs of cuntgate have been reopened in this thread. Twas not my intention. Though it pains me to say so, the decline in intellectual science-speak probably has the departure of Tenspace at its core. As for arguing with intellectual theists, I believe those few who are missed were driven out by non-Lily forum members, and we only have ourselves to blame for that. However, if any new intellectual theists passing by saw the shite that Lily spews, does anyone think they'd stick around to be tarred with that particular brush? Personally, I doubt it.
I do not believe Lily is the sole reason for this forum's decline, but I do not see the current state of affairs improving while she is still here.

I've never posted on these boards before, but i've been a lurker here for a long time. I remember back when this board still belonged to RA. I find that Lily has started to become unbearable. It seems every thread I visit now has Lily infesting it with her hateful shit. Even though i've never really contributed anything to this forum, I would still like to see it active. If Lily is the reason older members are leaving, I think she should be banned. Over the past couple of years i've gotten a lot of good information out of this forum that I probably wouldn't have found by myself and I would like for that to continue over the next couple of years. It would be a damn shame to see it die now. Just my 2 cents.
|
Thank you for this, MakkoLi - it has made my day. Not the opinions expressed as such, but because I was hoping against hope that a lurker or two would speak up. Who knows how many new members lurked for a significant amount of time before joining (I know I did), and how many are now wandering off thinking "fuck that" without us ever enjoying their company because of the shit they are reading these days?

I think the problem with Lily is that some people pay too much attention to this Christ-psychosis infected retard taking EVERYTHING she says as worthy of a response. This would be if an educated 10 year old or a schizophrenic post lot of things in this forum & we keep responding to her obvious INACCURACY filled delusional posts. WHY? If this person makes a lengthy post explaining why 2+2=6, 8-2=5 and 10>36 and we keep responding with lengthy explanations WHY it is not so! This keeps FEEDING her INACCURATE statements so she'll produce some more.
Why ban a schizophrenic, a retarded child or a christ-psychotic when their retarded posts filled with no truths only confirm their neurological condition which is what we atheists have been saying all along. Are CHRISTIANS SANE? If we cease to respond to their inane stupid distortions they'll GO AWAY....
Hasn't anyone notice that Lily seldom RESPONDS to my posts? Has anyone guess why this is? I never call her cow, or use insults. This amuses her!!..but I simply slaps her with the TRUTH that she is deluded & her brain is malfunctioning. This hurts. The truth always does, specially when the person is in deep denial. We create thought with our BRAINS & this undeniable FACT is always bothersome to Christians & other retarded folks that believe 2+2=6 and their shit doesn't stink since god always has a divine smell. Haven't they realize GAS aka Spirit-Soul usually produce fetid SMELLS?
Christians and other folks infected with delusional beliefs think and reason like schizophrenics or temporal lobe epileptics. Their morality is dictated by an invisible friend called Jesus.

But there is nothing this prolific gas bag cow can utter (get it..utter? Har har!) that can stand before the scrutiny of an honest person. She is a turd in our garden, but I choose to walk around her rather than to toss her over the fence.
I vote to keep our crazy grandmother.

My dear friend ghoulslime, a turd is usually infested with gross bacteria. The bacteria inside of any turd is what makes them smell pretty bad. That bacteria produces gases that float in the air we breath. Sometimes a turd carries also parasites that can float in the air, some of them can be very dangerous.
If you leave the turd in your garden and don't toss it over the fence (it should be thrown away in the trash can not over the fence....poor neighbors), you and all the people who visit your home have the risk of getting sick from inhaling the bacteria, gases and amoebas that the turd carries. So don't think that just by choosing to walk around the turd you and the people you like are save.

Hee hee! I can't argue with you, sister.
I only said I can't find it in myself to ban Lily, but truthfully, I would not make any fuss if the rest of you wacked her.

No banning, fucktards, is it so difficult to ignore and avoid conversation with her if she bugs you?

Yes, it is difficult not to counter stupid, damaging, hateful lies when they appear, from whatever source. This is the essence of free speech, the only proper response when vile drivel cannot be prosecuted.

I may be the worst culprit in Bible quoting, but I think it is important to directly counter the many misquotes and misrepresentations that the theists so enjoy trying to put across. The Bible is its own best critic and the proof of its own falsity.
