It was pretty great.
I had a similar reaction when one of the mods on SB found out Einzige/The Overman was a registered sex offender.

PS you shouldn't make fun of him for being a furry, don't want to hurt Thanas' feelings

i'm not really active in it anymore, either, but i was for a few years before i realized i'm not outgoing enough to be the activist type. i mostly just follow a few blogs now

a lot of atheist groups seem not to know if their message is "religion is false" (which i agree with, for everyday definitions of religion) or "religion is harmful" (which i really don't know about). either one can get sour when it's asserted with enough smugness in public though

also dawkins and hitchens are awful mansplainers. like i once saw hitchens, on a panel in australia, try to tell an iranian woman how she would be treated in iran

the SB search is down, but the gist of it is that Einzige left enough of a trail that one of the mods followed it to his name on a sex offender's registry. einzige started a thread where he threw a hissy fit over congress approving a couple million dollars (like ~$30M) for ads at sporting events and sponsorship for three stock cars in NASCAR. he then started referring to anyone who liked NASCAR as white-trash or rednecks (I had to inform him that typically white-trash and rednecks use those terms for endearment); remember einzige was a sockpuppet of ArcturuskMegsk on SDN who advocated killing theists because they were stupid. one of the mods confronted him about why he felt he was such a better person than they are and revealed that he was on a sex offenders registry for molesting an 8-12 year old (IIRC), he denied it saying his uncle had a similar name to him, was told that if he keeps lying the mod would post the info for all of SB to see, left for about a month, came back and admitted it was him.

yeah, i'm not involved since it's generally better for atheists in canada and less relevant to my experience, and more importantly i really don't care about the 'movement' or 'ideology' very much except for brief periods whenever i see that my conservative catholic friends have posted stupid religious persecution complex shit on facebook. i may be an incredibly shallow person.

i have never heard of an interaction between dawkins or hitchens and feminist issues that didn't involve them looking like massive chauvinists

I was 'joking' about how he was obsessed with Max Stirner, whose entire philosophy was rooted around the supremacy of the individual over the conceptual. So it's no surprise that a pedophile would latch onto an ideology that grants him absolution.

i was just being sarcastic and then people took it seriously :(

anyway r/athiesm is boring and mostly just new athiests who are still angry about the whole religion thing vs older athiests who actually don't care about religion who just don't talk about it

and i'm not an athiest anyway so it's not relevant to me

once i figured out how to cut out the annoying parts of reddit it's been entertaining enough

maybe i just don't get "new atheism"

i mean i wound up going atheist after exploring all kinds of different belief systems and eventually deciding they were all pretty much bullshit

but this was before the internet was everywhere and dawkins was a thing

BrooklynRedLeg thinks that the country would be better off if more Republicans were like Ron Paul.

Hmmm.... do I really feel like putting in the effort to troll him?

He's a chubby-chaser and has stupid opinions about robot anime, especially Robotech. Ask veef for more details to get the best trolling. But if you throw in a couple fat jokes and stuff he might melt down or might run away. Guess it's a crapshoot. Or you can link the SomethingAwful Ron Paul campaign ad.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Factual" Trolling, i.e. "Yeah the country would be better off. There would hardly be any Republicans in positions of power," or "Sure. That gold standard thing would sink us and everyone would realize what utter fuckups the new Republicans are."

Something like that. I don't know. I've not put too much thought into it beyond being tempted by it.

Eh. That's too obvious. Anyhow, I don't think I'm going to poke the roadkill with a stick. The occasional temptation just isn't enough to interest me in spending the time "debating" him.

Even if I did it just to troll him, I'd end up taking it (too) seriously in the end.

Edit: And anyways, Simon Jester beat me to it.
