Atheism is discussed. But you can't digress into anti-Christianity which many have done. Talk about atheism all you want. Just don't bring up other religions.

[Dales]

But he didn't say that the campaign originated somewhere else, he said "if" there is such a campaign.

Clearly, there is.

Also clearly, there are some over on LF who have wanted to stir things up over here.

Pointing out that there are several groups who all are working to undermine his site is quite valid for Jim to do in my opinion. If they are working together or all one group really isn't relevant.

Who wrote the email?

I dunno...

Apparently there's been an undercurrent of a half-dozen disgruntled FR posters, who were trying to organize a protest movement of some kind.

The first I saw of this email campaign, was on yet another offshoot forum (not LF) about a week ago.

Didn't seem like it had much in the way of legs to me.

Why didn't you contact WWJ in Detroit? I posted the contact info.

Oh lighten up already. You made a hysterically funny accusation back in April, and even though the thread is gone, it will live forever in my memory. I don't need the "contact info", wherever you may have posted it, because WWJ will never provide me with the entertainment equivalent of your post about the priest with pictures of childrens' shoes on fire.

Unless you're telling me they HAVE the pictures of flaming tennies and will send them to me?

(Oh, my sides...)

Bravo, BraveMan! Thanks!

Keep looking - there were several.

Yeah, there's probably two or three who might.

Just as there might be a few here who relish the thought of stirring things up over there.

But in general, I think it's better to ignore the dweebs and Gomers who get off on that kind of thing, and stick to our stated purposes.

We have much in common.

I love your approach Jim. Sure nothing to fear in that kind of competetion.

[OWK]

Just don't bring up other religions.

Unless they happen to be Islam.

[Poohbah]

What was up with that? Did the sear break on someone's "Post Reply" button?

[AppyPappy]

I dunno...

Then you don't know if it results from people at LF or not. My first thought was LF, Not FB or Sit-Rep's site.

[Rowdee]

Did you happen to forget that Liberty Forum hasn't gone public yet? Were you not told that in your invitation? They are still working on program enhancements, etc?

Your complaint seems to be that posters over there don't march in step with what you deem is appropriate 'free speech'.

[VinnyTex]

I've sent freep mail to Jim and I'm waiting for a reply before I say anything on this thread.

[AppyPappy]

Why would a thread on atheism discuss Islam?

[Dales]

Agreed.

Which is why it is imperative for some to drive a wedge between us.

[hellinahandcart]

If you're talking about 183-185, those probably happened during that software glitch this morning, that assigned new identities to some people. We were told on the contingency site that all those posts would be removed in order to avoid confusion about the names.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, for one thing, have you ever heard of the first amendment? That's the one that guarantees the right to freedom of religion. You remember that one. The one the athiests have been laboring overtime for the last several decades to nullify. Doing a bang up job too. And you wonder why some people resent your kind?
