That is all good but, you could put my reply to PriestofPoppycock's latest reply to me, back in this thread, considering that is where it belongs. |

He could, but he doesn't have to.
You want things where they belong? Stay on topic. I'm not just singling you out here dawk, this goes for everyone.
If five of your posts have to be moved out of a thread because they are off topic, the sixth post can go in the toilet for all I care.
IOW, if you want to be taken care of, don't be careless.

My reply to Poppycock was on topic, you can confirm that yourself, considering it was a direct reply to the comments Poppycock presented to me. My comment either has to be moved back, or Poppycock's off topic comment needs to be moved to the other thread if you want to claim that single comment was off topic.
Do your job instead of complaining to about fuck this or fuck that. I was civil with Gerard*, but I have no reason to be civil with you. |

Maybe. I don't care though.

Maybe, but I don't need to. Gerard has good judgement. If you don't think so file a complaint.

I did.

So? I don't need you to be civil with me.
If you have a problem and want it SOLVED, file a complaint. If that's not good enough for you, than you have three choices:
#1 Shut the fuck up.
#2 Get the fuck out.
#3 Fuck off and die.
#1, and #2 are *constructive* suggestions.

I doubt you're interested, but in most organizations, yes, though in the American Humanist Association there is a free trial membership. It's an annual fee and actually isn't much, though of course some will choose to donate or pay more and get more services, or further their causes.
Humanism is a philosophical and political movement that needs money to publish literature, support causes, etc.
Religion is often politically active as well, and most congregations expect a donation, especially to receive voting rights, etc. In general, I don't think the Humanists charge as much money, and at least there's no gray area. There are discounts for low-income families, but a certain yearly amount is required to be a member, instead of letting anyone become members and have voting privileges and using guilt in the meantime to coerce people into giving. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Also, unlike many religious dogmas, Humanism doesn't teach that a person needs to join an organization. A person can identify as an atheist or humanist without joining any organization, though organizations are useful for political and other activism.

You were the one being passive aggressive, your comments to me established that, and my comments you just replied to does nothing to insult you. In fact, that reply does not even mention you so you don't have an argument. My original post was a direct reply to the post above, it can't be considered off topic unless you consider the reply above to be off topic. My new post, is just directing them to the new location of my reply since you disagree with that. I haven't done or said anything to which I can be banned for, but it seems you are allowed to threaten me.
I even ignored your hostile reply above, but it seems you want to pick a fight with me. |

Or maybe people got what they wanted, and now are bitching about it. Just like those christians who love to complain about the filth on TV, but watch the shows just so they can complain about it.
