[Retracted] You’re citing a blogpost from August 2012 for the claim that these bad things “still occur today”? I’m no fan of the atheist movement, and I agree that its proponents can be occasionally lacking in basic kindness and social graces (as do many others, who refuse to self-identify as ‘atheists’ for this very reason). But still, you’re not providing much evidence for your claim here. [/Retracted]
Edited to add: Apparently you only meant to refer to the time ‘Atheism+’ was actually getting off the ground—the “elevatorgate” controversy and whatnot. If so, I misinterpreted your comment, for which I apologize—but that would make your point rather trivial, since ThrustVectoring was clearly objecting to “Atheism+”’s continued [assumed to be detrimental] influence on the atheist movement.
That was an article justifying the creation of atheism+. This was a discussion of why there was a problem in the atheist movement that lead to its creation.
Is the quoted “still occur today” in bogus’s comment a fabricated quotation, a quotation of something you’ve since edited away, or a quotation of something I’m being too blind to see?
(If it’s the second of those, you probably ought to indicate the fact somehow.)
I definitely think it still does, but I haven’t said anything about that in this thread so far.
I guess you could interpret my use of the present tense in the first post I made as still happening today? But that was supposed to be talking about when Atheism+ was created.
EDIT: Having a sexual harassment policy is standard now. The other two I mentioned...still a problem.
