Several people posted links to personal information and photographs of the young woman who claims Kobe Bryant raped her, and the mods deleted them. I just heard on TV that those photos are of a different woman, who is planning on filing a lawsuit against the websites. It was the right call both legally and ethically. ---

Lately, there have been numerous noteworthy decisions by moderators: DavidB in cutting off a delirious hand-stabber; Gaudere in offering her opinions about art — even Czarcasm in nearly wagging a civil tongue in a thread about God. And now this. Kudos to the moderators. ---

A hand-stabber is one of those atheists who is on a mission for NoGod. ---

Where did that term come from Lib? I myself am an atheist, and know EXACTLY the type of person you speak of. Gall, they can be as bad as fundamentalist Christians at times. ---

Interesting phrase, “hand-stabber.” Anyone know the etymology? ---

Google don’t know from “hand-stabber”. I get 4 sites, none with even remote relevance to **Lib** ’s definition. ---

I thought **Libertarian** had explained the term “hand-stabber” on the SDMB before. I ran a search and found it. It’s in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151796). > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Libertarian \* > \*\*It is a pejorative term in referring to extremist atheists. It originated with a story that Madalyn Murray O’Hair, founder of American Atheists, once stabbed a man in the hand with her pen when she sneezed, and he responded, “God bless you.” \*\* ---

I sheepishly retract my WAG.
