20. Here's the jury results on what you called a clear personal attack

Wed Dec 28, 2011, 08:05 PM

Dec 2011

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: While I disagree with the proposition, and would not use the two words indicated, they are mild compared to many of the vituperations against religion.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: The only reason I would leave this post unhidden would be to reserve the right to call religious doctrine blather and ballyhoo. Tempting, but I prefer that we don't trade insults and call it discussion.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Poster is expressing personal opinion. It's up to the readers to accept or reject. I see nothing offensive in the post.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not sure what "Organized atheism" is, have never heard any atheists blather more than non-atheists, don't know that "Organized atheism" is infamous either. I'd suggest the poster do some learning about atheism. The post is rude but don't see it as needing to be hidden.

I especially love Juror #2 who seems to think that atheists deserve it.

If one of my posts gets deleted for personal attacks and this clear broadbrush by humblebum is left to stand, I think I am done with R/T and probably DU3.
