Eh, I’ve been looking for somebody to Pit, and while Monkey With a Gun is really low hanging fruit, WTF, he/she (hereafter called “It”) pissed me off today.
It called two of us liars in the same thread, and by implication, most of us who posted to the thread. Okay, it was the Pit, but considering the subject, what a complete idiot. I don’t know how old It is, but I have found Curtis to be far more civil if not necessarily better informed.
The thread was a rant about claims by theists that atheists aren’t moral. Quite a few of us atheists related personal experiences of being confronted with such accusations and beliefs by theists.
That wasn’t good enough for It:
Yes, It actually typed “blew moon”.
Not content to merely imply that the OP lied, he says so explicitly:
Czarcasm strolls by and says to the doubting It:
It replies that there are no relevant links on page one of the search results.
I find this doubtful, repeat the search and find several relevant links, and say so and link to them. I ask It WTF It was searching for.
It comes back and now says I am making shit up. Then I posted the Google results page, which I got with a verbatim “exact phrase” search. It just picked out a couple of key words, and searched for that. As it turns out at least a couple of results of Its search turn out to be relevant, but It denied it because It apparently doesn’t have much of an attention span.
Finally It retreats to denial and insults:
I think It is somewhere wiping the foam off Its jowls and is preparing for Its next attack on reality.
The think is, I don’t mind people being wrong. Shit I’ve been wrong at least once, and accused of being wrong many more times. Even when I’m sure the other person is utterly wrong, I don’t resort to personal attacks, and I don’t appreciate it when I am the recipient of them.
Thank you for your attention.
