9. I try not to participate in those threads and I do so

by completely ignoring a small group of posters there . I think I have a lot of interesting conversations, but it could be better.

You have started some very interesting threads. Perhaps really encouraging and interacting with people who appear to want a legitimate conversation would be helpful.

I don't see much hope for this group. As recently as about a week ago someone came in here to disrupt and I don't anticipate that that is going to change. It was established under a cloud.

So I would prefer to stick with the religion group and try to make it a better place.

I feel more comfortable here. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #1

There was a reason for this: "Almost all of the support came from the DU atheist community". rug Apr 2014 #37
I tend to think that is accurate, but I can not be sure. cbayer Apr 2014 #39
