Yep, and now after this post[1] in /r/atheismrebooted, the masses of /r/atheismrebooted have taken to /r/atheism to post links about how atheists are 'censored'. Including here[2] with /u/syncretic2 commenting on one.

It will be interesting to see how the mods /r/atheism handle these 'censorship' posts.

Holy shit they are not subtle at all, there's like 5+ threads on the frontpage that are "thinly" veiled jabs.

I'm surprised /u/jij hasn't snapped yet. 6 days of non-stop abuse from thousands of people? I would've started banning by now.

Sounds like /r/atheismrebooted has lost its way. Time for /r/atheismrerebooted.

Hopefully they'll continue to ignore those posts. If they were to fall back a bit, that would just give more ammo to certain people. Likewise, if they were to not care at all -- well, that would probably *help* them overall. If you "silence" people by continually responding to them, that can be an issue. If you do everything silently without responding, then you don't have that problem.
Granted, there have been situations where it's *helpful* to listen to the users. I don't think this is one of those situations. Allow skeen back, and you're allowing *no* moderation whatsoever. At this point, virtually *anyone* would be better, at least as far as moderation is concerned.
Edit: A hyperactive baby monkey would be better at moderating, is what I'm saying.

Do these atheismrebooted people have an explanation for why a Hitchens speech on free speech has anything to do with atheism? Are they not aware that Hitchens talked about other things besides atheism?

It's a frightening thing: teenagers on summer vacation with nothing but time, self-righteous anger, and an internet connection.
