45. Quantity is not always quality

As demonstrated above, but over a long timeline it shows engagement. And all that with almost no moderation, that's the interesting part.

For theists or atheists being made uncomfortable, the pendulum swings back and forth, but I remember starting here actually trying to keep a positive dialogue going and that ended fast. Theists here don't tent to engage in good faith arguments, and many of them have been removed as trolls.

Here's to a new year in thivery active group!
