1. I wish I had said that first, but I'll be sure to repeat it.

Perfect! And to think I almost didn't click because "If athieism is a Religion" was so off-putting.

Thanks for this.

[HopeHoops]

9. LOL! Yeah, that's a problem.

[Armin-A]

10. I found a solution!

6. A pleasant surprise for a dubious title.

I held my breath as I opened this. But it is a keeper.

7. I had exactly the same reaction, lol

[laconicsax]

20. Was your alert finger twitching?

Since you didn't participate in the "dear lurking theists" thread, maybe you would like to talk about why you lurk here?

[cbayer]

21. My bad. Didn't realize I was posting in this group. Promise not to do it again.

[laconicsax]

25. No, it's my mistake.

You're welcome to post here all you like. I simply overreacted to your comment, and for that, I apologize.

[cbayer]

27. I appreciate that, laconicsax. I was really surprised to see this post here, to be honest.

I probably saw the thread come up on latest and thought it was in Religion.

[laconicsax]

28. One of the drawbacks (and advantages) of DU3.

Everything shows up on the latest page. While that's great for seeing what's going on all over the board, it does invite a lot of attention to protected groups without specifying that the group is protected.

[cbayer]

22. Actually, now that you have called me in here and I have taken a closer look, I

just want to say how incredibly classy I think it is that the hosts of this group not only apparently condone the calling out and trashing of a host from another group, but actively participate in it.

That's some real class right there.

[cleanhippie]

23. Wait, what? So you call out a host for calling out a host?

Classic.

[laconicsax]

24. You're free to alert on any post.

You're also more than welcome to start a thread here to address these concerns. If you don't lurk in this group and alert on almost everything, you should definitely say so explicitly.

There's a growing sentiment here that someone (or a small group) is trolling this group to make in serial alerts. I don't pretend to know why you've been implicated, but since you have (albeit indirectly), I think you're well within your rights to respond.

I certainly wouldn't lock such a thread or block you for starting the discussion and I've asked the other hosts to give you the same consideration.

[cbayer]

26. I read this group and have every right to, particularly since I am being called out.

I never respond (except above, which was because I didn't note what group I was in), and, to the best of my recollection, have never alerted on anything in here. In fact, I don't remember ever seeing a hidden post in this group, just a few locked threads as off-topic. So I don't know where the idea is coming from that there are individuals or a small group that is serially alerting.

I didn't even alert on the blatant call out and trashing that went on against me.

Now, I am fully aware that some members here are going to say that I am lying (or worse), but I have come to expect that. I really have no interest in becoming a participant here. None at all.

[laconicsax]

29. Thank you for replying.

[progressoid]

11. ...Then bald is a hairstyle.

(heard that here a looong time ago).

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. Is zero a number?

Discuss. Mathematicians argue whether it is a 'natural number' or not: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/NaturalNumber.html
