LGBT activism isn't about creating more gay people; it's about supporting and advocating for the ones who're here. Still, atheist activism is framed (by people who aren't doing it) as evangelism. We don't care about converting you; we're just... out. Get over it.

Jeez.

Funny, I got a reply from count_fenring which was promptly deleted. I don't know whether VF deleted it or if CF did, but in the latter case, it really explains the "chicken" icon. That's a really cute way of getting the last word, I guess.

Oh, ok. My mistake, clearly. Sorry.

Just to be very clear, the tone of this post is neutral, and I mean everything in it literally:

Is this a behavior pattern that exists? I honestly don't see how that would get someone the last word - it seems to, as far as I can tell, boil down to taking the argument into private messages, which isn't actually a kill-tactic as far as I know.

Note that I'm aware this is moot, as I wasn't doing it - I'm just wondering if people do this, and why?

I haven't seen exactly that behavior before, but I've been around the internet enough to have thought it was possible, apparently. I don't know why I forgot about screening.
