Hey I've been here like many others since last November. Don't know which groups you belong or what chat groups you favor but my Singles/Mingle/Chat site is close to 900 members and we have expanded hours to accomodate Great Britain and European members from 3:00 PM EST USA to 3:00 AM EST USA.

I'm not going to bash you I'm going to give you the right to have your say. It's an opinion and you're entitled to it. I'm not sure I would have put it up on a public post but I can see that something has changed to make you angry. Why not take it from there? Figure out what's changed, figure out what you're mad about and work it from that point? The only ones we can change are ourselves.

Not our purpose to convince no one but still worth the effort to understand why you feel that way. At times you have to start the conversation to make a trend where people contribute and we all benefit from that. It's not a one way street.

Do you realize the onus for how you find the site is on you?

Try creating a group for what interests you.

Follow people whose posts you actually enjoy.

Join the groups that hold interest for you.

And don't condescend to other members. That will not win you enjoyment.

Ah well, this post has been extremely useful for me - I've managed to block the fluff (about 20 of them) and follow the substance (several interesting people). So let's see.

For many of us who have listened to the podcasts, read the articles, and watched the videos offered up by atheist activists, many of the topics are rote at this point. I do enjoy picking apart some fallacies and discussing how best to argue a point with atheist, but my atheism isn't how I identify - it's only an aspect of my personality. I come here to meet like-minded friends without having to bother filtering out the religious garbage. That's refreshing after some time spent on Facebook in my very Bible-y neck of the woods.

well @GoldenDoll, after having read several of the posts and comments and replies and stuff on this thread, I've got to say that convincing you to stay is not very important to me. you are complaining about the same kind of behavior that you are exhibiting. when I first responded to you on this thread, I thought you were having a bad day, or just feeling discouraged about something you had read. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong to do so in this case. Take care.

good riddance of doom & gloom.

Hi Golden Doll .. you sound interesting - at least you rationalise about RIP and speak a few languages which puts you up as reasonably intelligent. PLEASE pick an area you are interested and talk with me
