"Nothing but insults to atheists," you say? The thread is about Internet Skepticism -- an ism. It is not directed at anyone personally. It connects Internet Skepticism with New Atheism -- another ism. Again, nothing directed at anyone personally and, I might add, not directed at atheism but at New Atheism or Internet Atheism. Moreover, this thread is not digressive or extraneous or off-topic -- the hallmarks of trolling. Rather, this thread points to an Internet phenomenon everybody is aware of -- it tells the truth. Now, as Ms Steinem said, playing off something Reverend King said:
Those members who've followed Angel's deconstruction of Internet Skepticism in this forum know what Internet Skeptics don't know, namely, that Internet Skepticism is a misnomer. Far from being any sort of ordinary or philosophical skepticism, Internet Skepticism in point of fact turns out to be a kind of Anonymous Creepism, a bastardized hybrid of technology and human nature. If you are new to Angel's deconstruction of Internet Skepticism, it is strongly recommended that you check out the following threads before proceeding any further in this thread:

4. Because Internet Skepticism is habitually coarse and vulgar, mocking and bullying, with a marked propensity to rely on emojis to these ends.
3. Because Internet Skepticism is malicious in intent and as a result given to the personal derogation of those who dare to oppose it.
2. Because Internet Skepticism routinely posts in bad faith, ignoring refutation and correction and persistently repeating points previously dispatched by opponents.
And the number one reason to deplore Internet Skepticism:

I'm not on your side, chief.
"Love is never having to say you're sorry." Neither for derogation nor pronomial gaffe. Top o' the mornin', luv.
You still don't get the theme of "Atheists Don't Exist" and this failing makes this post if yours incoherent.
Well, the pain is in my neck, doc.Angel, can you point to the doll and show us where the atheists touched you?
Much obliged for the testimonial, Rumpel. I wish others who've witnessed the bad faith of Internet Skepticism would post to this thread as well.
