I’m very relieved that **Volteron** is such a good and noble person, I can’t imagine how horrid he might be if he were not. ---

[/QUOTE] Relapses happen, it’s not the end of the world. You got sober once, you can do it again. Or address whatever else it might be that is causing you to go down in flames. You were posting all this stuff about suicide the first time, before you got off the pills. Now you are doing the “I dare God to kill me” and all these attention-seeking threads. It’s not a good sign. If you don’t do something, getting banned for trolling is the least of your worries. Look, I don’t know you from a hole in the ground, but if a relative stranger can spot the pattern, how obvious does it need to be? Regards, Shodan ---

Leaving aside the merits of **Valteron** ’s latest threads (and I don’t really see _any_, to be honest), I, at least, would have liked to see some warnings or stern rebukes dished out for the insults in that MPSIMS Santa thread. Just because people _think_ it’s a troll doesn’t give them _carte blanche_ outside the Pit, I thought? Especially those individuals who already have a rep as Wannabe Mods - you’d think they’d know not to FTT by now. Not coming down on them just because you happen to agree with the righteousness of their ire is poor Modding, IMO. ---

As usual, I’m amused by the fact that there’s Valteron puling and moaning that he’s being pissed on and fucked over because he’s an atheist - on the very same page there’s another thread about “Christian Persecution on this board”. Hint. You’re not being piled on because you’re an atheist. You’re being piled on because you’re a fuckwit. ---

[QUOTE=Valteron] I am proud of the fact that I would never call you that, even in the Pit. And that makes me better than you. [/QUOTE] How so? I know i’m all those things. You not calling me them merely makes you unobservant. I note that your reply is, in essentials, name-calling used in reverse; “i’m better than you, ner ner ner” as opposed to “you’re worse than me, ner ner ner”. I am sure your past posts on the subject of name-calling apply equally to your own fun-filled answers, and I look forward to your post addressing the issues i’ve raised. To not do so, of course, would make you a hypocrite - and while i’m certainly a huge ass, I do take pride in not being that. ---

> [@Valteron](#): > > From now on, I will adhere to the double standard. Atheism can be shit on left right and centre. I can be abused and called a “racist fuck” with impunity. But religion must be shown respect. Oh, can the bullshit. The opening sentence of my post was that I agreed that you should not have been personally insulted in the MPSIMS forum. And, no, no one said anything about “religion must be shown respect.” We did say that stereotyping a group of people based on race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, etc. is WRONG and NOT PERMITTED. How would you react if someone posted other stereotypes parallel to the ones you have posted about Muslims and Christians? “According to the Norad Map on that site, Santa has visited a number of black neighborhoods and left gifts. Surely by now, someone would have mugged him with a triumphant cry of ‘Gotcha, Whitey!’ Or at least shot him and robbed the sleigh as he lands to leave presents.” “According to the Norad Map on that site, Santa has visited Boys Town, a largely gay area of Chicago, and left gifts. Surely by now, someone would have butt-fucked him with a lisping cry of ‘Dahhling!’ Or at least torn off his clothes as he lands to leave presents.” I’m quoting your own words back at you, just slightly re-arranging to let you understand that such stereotyping is contemptible… even if it’s levelled against Moslems or Christians. Do unto others… How the hell do you expect people to respect you and your sexual orientation if you don’t respect THEM and their ethnicity or religion? ---

I made the mistake of reading \*\*Valteron’s \*\* “Why haven’t the Muslims killed Santa?” OP. Christ, that was a mistake. What a bigoted piece of shit. Speaking as a fellow atheist, I hope you get banned from this board, you fucking worthless load of rotted pig shit.
