I did analyze it, and many others post like that. Ergo, i said, it is the last place.

If you were just reinforcing my point, disregard this message. There may be misunderstanding here.

I thought I was agreeing but am willing to look for areas of disagreement if needed.

And there is no point in saying things ironically, or sarcastically, or exaggerating for emphasis. They are rigidly literal minded. Any form of disagreement indicates deep misogyny. Sympathy expressed for one group is always taken as hatred of another group - usually women as a whole. Even objecting to attacks on individual women is taken as misogyny.

While I disagree with their methods and their moderation techniques, and, if you read back to pretty much the first page of this thread, I never felt like this would be a group I would have any interest in joining, this kind of post just makes it look like their original mission statement had a real point.

Just sayin'.

it also proves that you apparently have no sense of humor

Or. . .
 
cuz it's funnier!

If I had gone over there and trolled them, perhaps you'd have a point. but just sitting around and shooting the sh!@ about it just for lulz is another thing.

Plus, we all know that once somebody starts taking themselves or their group a wee bit too seriously they need the piss taken out of em. and I thought my comment was just absurd enough,relative to their foundation principles in name and practice, to be pretty dadburn funny!

Dude. Bro. Dudebro.

You don't troll a forum like this with GNAA. Half the time they've got their heads so far up their asses they won't see it for what it is anyway, and when they do clue in they'll just ban you.

You troll them by leading the chorus. By being the voice of unreasonable zealotry. Your goal is to provide and encourage viewpoints and "solutions" so offensive and over the top that about half of the established members start thinking it's going too far. Then you get the other half to happily turn on them for being privileged and bigoted, and kick back with some popcorn to watch the fireworks.

i also think trolling a+ is not a good idea for reasons outlined eloquently above. also, we would be giving them more ammo about atheist trolling etc... not to mention just common decency of not trolling people trying to converse.

best just sit back and watch the whole thing eat itself on its own.

Eh, it just seems like making deliberately sexist comments to someone who is upset by sexism isn't taking the piss out of them, so much as reinforcing their opinion that the stereotypes are correct. Personally, I think that isn't funny, as much as counterproductive, if the goal was to show that they might be wrong.

For me, it would be like having a bunch of Christians hanging out and saying to themselves, "That atheist group over there is always claiming Christians are intolerant jerks. Let's go tell them they are going to burn in Hell! Ha ha! That will show them!"

But hey, there are people who still find rotten eggs funny, so to each their own, I guess. :)

I would have never told them from whence I came. It had nothing to do with "skeptics" and everything to do with "I's a juvenile male who thinks it;s hilarious when people's little pet causes become their entire existence so let's go mess with them"

I know what I am, and I'm good with it! ;)

And that's not reinforcing their perception that they are being harrassed by men because of what they think and say, how?

ETA: Look, I spend my weekends playing xbox and watching cartoons, farting and making crude jokes to (and with) my wife. I know "juvenile male". It's not an excuse or a license to be an asshat to someone who is having problems dealing with men being asshats. . . and far, far worse.

number one, i didn't troll them

number two, can't we have a little fun with something without der skeptic gestapo getting their panties in a bunch?

number three- if I was concerned with the perceptions I don't think that any of this harmless goofing would have occurred. It's obvious that nothing is going to change their perceptions regardless, hence the mockery.
