If they have a case they should make it in public, and I would hope that Ms. Stopper would deprive them of the excuse that doing so is infringing on her privacy rights. Even if they should have a case, I find some of their public statements very disturbing. Particularly galling was the statement by The Other Michael on the laws on corporate governance and how the directors had the right to do pretty much what they want. While he in probably correct on the law, he and the rest of the leadership should recognize the dependence of the corporation on the community that has been created and should recognize that the cause we share is promoted by strengthening the community and that providing for meaningful input from the community serves all of us except a few authoritarians at the top.

A remarkable forum has developed in IIDB and I have seen nothing as rich, stimulating, and valuable in other atheist and nonbeliever websites. If it is to be lost, other forums, such as this one, should try to encourage the wide-ranging discussions that have taken place there. I don't think any of the others are there yet. (Sorry, FF.)
"the banning of Ms. Stopper drove me here."

Is this the infamous stopper that was just banned (again) from Talk Rational?


How interesting.

Hi. I was 18 when I signed up. I'm posting 14 years later.

I'm 32, my real name is Spencer, I live in Texas and hate it here, I'm politically auth-left, I'm married, my wife is 10 weeks pregnant, I'm a programmer. I like photography.

Everything that happened in the past 14 years is absolutely not what I planned when I was 18. Life is weird.

Here's a picture I took recently:
