We definitely separate along the lines of "Well we're adults just don't read it" - and "Gee maybe we could cut back on the really questionable stuff?".

I do believe atheists still have morals.

FYI I've asked him to return.

We disagree wholeheartedly on this topic but I think there is a reasonable place to meet somewhere in the middle. And this is the type of poofing I was trying to prevent.

For some reason people talk to me. I hear about the drama and people leaving - and I just tried to do something about it. I'm just a member - the above is just an opinion.

We'll see if it works.

Hell people be grown ups! We play here - but we don't have to be offensive every single time?

@RavenCT Sorry, dear, the fun is gone! I wish folk would be grown-ups & grow a pair,(oh, gee! I'm sexist!) obviously not gonna happen. I will finish out responding to some of this to finish up, but that is what it is, a finish! Enough is enough!

"Out of the mouths of babes!" - - -sorry, bro, just an expression since your a newbie, please forgive! But this is so right! If one feels strongly, comment. If one just isn't into it, move on! Unless it is outright racism, sexism or hateful just grow up & deal with it!
Screw this! I get no response from the boss & BS & obfuscation from 'friends'! Except for coming back for the occasional theft, I'm outta here! I'll leave this for the Normies!

@phxbillcee I warned you this would happen if we let normies in the group!!!!!

@EricTrommater I got more negative feedback from OG's, & 2 good friends, than I did from noobs! I love ya', boss, but you've basically deserted the group & that is, honestly, why we're here! I won't bother you no more. I'm gone!

P.S. I very, very seldom post 'nasty' content unless it is to ruffle feathers for a specific point, or it's just too damn good to pass up. But, I don't believe I'm known for that type of thing. That being said, my taste & posting habits are not the issue, the openness & honesty of this group is.

Well don't worry Bill only Sitesupport mods. this board. I bet she's sick of it too.

Is there anything wrong with people filtering themselves? I swear it's how we usually get along?

@RavenCT My point exactly! Comment if you think it warranted or move on if your feelers are hurt, just don't insist on adherence to one's personal tastes/outlook or demand deletion & censorship!

@RavenCT & sitesupport I firmly believe is a bunch of retired nuns with too much time on their hands!

@phxbillcee she's actually a person who has to deal with our crap all of the time. I bet her hair is turning white - you'd swear we are actual children some days!

@RavenCT Never said retired nuns aren't actual people!

Please see my above!

Just asking people to moderate themselves! I always thought adults could do that.

I clicked Leave last night and it pisses me off that some tasteless memes made me think about leaving.

We are losing good core members because of it. I've had too many members tell me why they left.

I'm tired of it but I think it's worth fighting for.

And remember we do have rules about hate.

If no one will tell them it's too much!? It won't improve.

And I know you are allergic to mods. But we certainly can guide new members.
Frankly mods. won't help they can't pull a post.

@RavenCT Hell, I'll leave! I can't stand censorship or forcing one's own views on others as if they were theists! Moderating oneself means passing on if your feelings are hurt, or commenting if you feel strongly enough! Not censorship!

@phxbillcee No not here it doesn't there were site rules we all agreed to.

@RavenCT Doesn't matter...I'm gone! Have fun y'all! Tho I really doubt it!

I honestly don't remember you offending.
But you're right when people refuse to see that what they posted was 'yikes inducing' it would be nice to get through with a comment.

Pretty sure I've posted some regrettable stuff myself.

I've clicked the leave button.

But it's my group too.

I guess if suggesting better choices doesn't work - I'll be off. But I prefer to stay and fight I guess. (for now)

I spoke to Eric who created the group - and he did add:

"A place to post memes. Bad taste is encouraged, but not mandatory. No porn!".

@RavenCT People are taking the bad taste thing too far.

@Sydland Yes they are.
In the beginning it was to let us know that pretty dark stuff was permitted and it wasn't FB standards.

However a few people have taken it as a challenge. "Oh are you going to report me?" - well yes. If it's awful - yes. Be a child you'll be treated like one.

I saw one that showed an actual murder. It's stuck with me. That level of depravity is not welcome here. Not on this site - not on this board. (and yes it was removed). I'm glad not everyone had to see it.

@RavenCT & you equate the "two lips" meme with one that is straight out racist or promotes murder???? I expect better from you!

@phxbillcee Don’t see it as racist or promoting murder. It’s offensive and misogynistic.

There is already a group for this: [agnostic.com]

& there is also this to foster happiness instead of memes! [agnostic.com]

@RavenCT Memes are meant to provoke & poke fun. Sorta the point!

@phxbillcee When it provokes hate? No.

@RavenCT What hate? Only the hate that has come out since that was posted! The post itself may or may not have been debatable, but surely not hateful! Come on, dear, that's hyperbole & very disingenuous!
