/u/Ken0tic sounds so mad.

Maybe because I am. Wouldn't you be "mad" if your favorite sub had been virtually destroyed? Also, this is my first time on this sub, why don't you guys actually discuss something of substance instead of just pretentiously laughing at "buttery drama". You people make me sick.
>Wouldn't you be "mad" if your favorite sub had been virtually destroyed?
Not really. It is just an internet forum. And banning some asshole hardly constitutes as "destroying".
>why don't you guys actually discuss something of substance instead of just pretentiously laughing at "buttery drama". You people make me sick.
Funny coming from someone from an atheism sub. A gentle perusing of your sub shows that it's completely devoted to pretentiously laughing anything and everything religious. At least here it's lighthearted.
>Not really. It is just an internet forum.
Yes, one that I really enjoy.. Having that stripped away from me is saddening and frustrating. It must be sad for you to not have anything in your life to enjoy.
>And banning some asshole hardly constitutes as "destroying".
It's a sign.. If BurtonDesque got banned for simply speaking his mind imagine what will happen in weeks or months.

There's actual discussion going on in /rebooted, here it's just people circlejerking over how "dumb the stupid atheists are". Fuck you people, just because you believe in a god doesn't mean you're better or smarter than we are.
>It must be sad for you to not have anything in your life to enjoy.
Or maybe I don't put that much stock of my personal enjoyment into an internet forum. Or maybe I go outside once in a while. Or maybe I'm not an angst-driven teen who hates the religions. Or most likely because I just have a different perspective on life. The fact that you're trying to project anything onto me from stating something like "it is just an internet forum" tells me everything I need to know.
>If BurtonDesque got banned for simply speaking his mind imagine what will happen in weeks or months.
Probably nothing. You seem to care a lot about that subreddit. I honestly don't see how people there can't see a difference between someone speaking their mind and someone who just loves being a harassing asshole. From what I've seen he doesn't really add anything more than curse words. Maybe you may have better discussions. You gave SRD shit for laughing at drama, why put up with him? Just because he's one of "yours"? Finally, what's the point of extrapolating from a single point?

Like what discussion? This? http://www.reddit.com/r/atheismrebooted/comments/1s098c/3rdgradelessonongravitydoesanyone_see/
Where literally everyone is just bashing a "Christian" science lesson that may or may not be fake and this:
>That's not 3rd grade it's a Liberty University midterm science exam.
is the second highest comment? Real discussion going on there.
> just because you believe in a god doesn't mean you're better or smarter than we are.
Replace believe with don't believe and that's pretty much everyone else's attitude towards any atheism sub. No one really gives a shit.

SRD is not a religious sub, the majority (62%) of its members are atheist/agnostic
SRD munches on the popcorn that the whole of reddit generates, if someone in any sub has a melt down then SRD will eventually get around to looking at it and laughing about it.
The only reason that rebooted features so god damn much is because you lot are immature, naive and hypocritical. Rebooted spent months bashing jij and sending him death threats because he dared make memes take an extra click... now your own mods are doing the exact same shit that your sub was supposedly setup to avoid.
All that rebooted achieved was to remove most of the fucking idiots from /r/atheism and actually improve it as a sub.
You make an excellent point..but I fucking love that you put the survey we all took as a reference. It made me giggle :)
You say you are an atheist, the euphoric master of arguments, shutting down fundies' fallacious arguments in favor of religion, and superiority... Then you reveal that your entire argument is based on slippery slope fallacies. Comical.
I'm all for defending your favorite sub. I'm not trying to argue with you either, but actual discussion...? Every time I go to /r/AtheismRebooted the top comments are calling out other atheists for being pretentious. Then there are people who troll or make fun of the sub and circlejerk about it.
In this sub, more than half the comments are a discussion about whatever the fights are over, part of them are calling OP dumb for linking pointless fights, there are general comments on the fights, and the other parts are small circlejerks and jokes.
This thread about moderation is probably the only discussion I have yet to see on that sub.
> Also, this is my first time on this sub, why don't you guys actually discuss something of substance instead of just pretentiously laughing at "buttery drama".
The same reason you don't use a screwdriver to drive nails. It's a tool with a specific purpose.

Wooo buddy!
