NOT the advocate Islam needs on this board right now. > > At least we taught him some new swear words. \*\* I disagree that this guy was “very young, very stupid, and very frothy”. On second thoughts, I disagree with the “very young” part. From a quick tour of the TAI site, I jump to the following conclusions: 1. It doesn’t get used much, and a large proportion of the posts are from staff, moderators, etc. 2. It you look at any posting by the site’s administrator, **ABDULLAH** , you’ll see a striking resemblance to **TalkAboutIslam** ’s posts. 3. Some young kid may have been copying **ABDULLAH** ’s style while posting as **TalkAboutIslam** , but that’s an unnecessary conjecture. 4. The administrator of the TAI site was, in fact, the spammer. ---

I think he was trying very, very hard to get banned. Now he can complain about how intolerant and anti-Islam we are over here. Soooo predictable. ---

No, I don’t think so. I think it was just a publicity thing to attract members. There doesn’t seem to be much (or any) bashing on the TAI site, it’s all just pointless “I love you so much”. “Thank you so much for sharing”. That sort of stuff. And of course the LOOOOOOL crap. ---

Desmo: Check out that site’s forum about Wahabism (or even just the forum description). That’s naught but bashing. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Desmostylus \* > \*\*This is the pit **Libertarian**. Fuck off. \*\* Actually, after three years, I have become aware of which forum is which. But thank you anyway. There has been a long-standing policy, often enforced personally by the admins, that when people cannot defend themselves, they are not to be flamed. Of course, common decency might have told you that as well. ---

I agree with **Libertarian**. Since **TIA** is no longer here to defend himself, this thread is now closed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/afraid-of-some-truth/139597.md?page=6)
