I see the thread that keeps giving on A+theism is continuing, with realisation dawning on a number of people there the flaws in the premise of A+. Now
Xanthe quits (my emphasis):

It's an obvious lose-lose situation and as part of my duty of care to myself I'm not willing to be a target for abuse either, even in the devolved sense of being one member of that staff. I've been willing to step in to deal with problems and do what I can, and have been open with the other moderators about my own strengths and my limitations. It seems nothing and nobody will please everyone here, which is behind the demand that every moderator be able to deal with every potential problem that arises.
Well, no shit. Who would have guessed that a forum that tries not to offend anyone, and allows everyone to define what personally offends them, would collapse in a bitchfest because everybody has inadvertantly offended everybody else? Why was it blindingly obvious to everyone at the slymepit that this was inevitable, but none of the SJW could see it?
This one amused me as well:

If forgiveness is off the table, then I guess the forum is going to keep imploding. I am sure all the A+ haters are loving it.
Amadan, I don't hate A+ and I doubt most people here do, and I am not "loving" watching you fail. But because I'm a rational skeptic, I could see the inevitability of your failure. Pointing that out, and even mocking it, has nothing to do with "love" or "hate", but simple reasoning and criticism. And I don't think any amount of (((hugs))) is gonna fix that.
