You Might StumbleUpon a Hate Site. Like This One.
I was checking StumbleUpon to see what people were saying about some of my articles that they were flagging. Most comments were positive, which I guess you’d expect if people are flagging it as a favorite. Some people leave negative comments. That’s fine, too. I’m not trying to please everyone, just the people in my target audience. I would prefer it if people came here to leave their negative comments, so I could respond, but I guess that’s not the way StumbleUpon works.
What’s funny is the occasional comment that is so extremely negative that I have a hard time imagining that somebody could really have such a distorted reaction. Do some people really go through life having such violent reactions to things they see? Apparently so. I guess these are the sorts of people who insist on censoring everything they disagree with.
A case in point is the reaction by a woman calling herself “ddoll”. Specifically, she was reacting to my article about the AIG Research Paper Winner, but she seems to be directing her comments to the site as a whole. (The StumbleUpon page of comments is here.)
And now for your enjoyment, here is ddoll’s review of the Bay of Fundie:
This is a hate site. Pure and simple. Why is it bothering this guy so much that Creationists believe what THEY want to believe and he can believe what HE wants to believe? There is no scientific proof either way on this theory and that is why both sides are still freely able to be taught. GET THE @#$% OVER IT ALREADY! Can’t believe this moron dedicates a whole site to mean-spirited slams against a certain group of people for their beliefs. How do people go through life being so volatile against anything that differs from their belief system? The world does not revolve around him because he’s atheist. Live and let live.
Yes, ddoll, how does someone go through life being so volatile against anything that differs from her belief system?

What ddoll doesn’t understand is that a belief in creationism undermines many important aspects of science. Especially those relating to biology, geology and climatology.
What she also missed is that many creationists dismiss the facts because they don’t agree with the bible (a millenia old document most of its readers do not read in its original language).
Finally, she missed the fact that Creationists do no usually ‘live and let live’ themselves.

Since when are creationism and evolution on equal scientific footing?

I wonder if anyone expressing a different point of view of that reviewer automatically qualifies as hate speech.

May be the d is the mark ms doll got in science? I’ve noticed the right wing love to call left wing sites hate sites. Anyway who disagrees with them encourages a furious response.

Please remove my site below the hate image above as it is not on my site and has nothing to do with the context of our overall message.
Thanks.

Done. If I find an image only on one site, I like to credit where I swiped it from. Since it has nothing to do with your site, I removed the link.

The Gods wanted obesity and sedintarianism for their strategy, so they can position unrespectability among their tools, ensuring the disfavored, people like my family, would not be receptive and the corporate element could walk away cleanly.
When I became active I earned my good health through hard work, climbing these mountains until it became effortless. I was strong as an ox. But the Gods had other plans.
They slowed me down, gave me malnutrition through lack of appetitite and vomitting, and used these things to force renal failure, a condition I would not have expereinced until I was old like all the other people in those dialysis units if at all.
This will never be forgiven.
I’m sorry I had to but I’m glad I did it.
One of the goals of the Situation was abuse so severe that no matter who I was reincarnated as, no matter how much progress I made, all the gods had to do was envoke this life, the example above, and it would sabotage all progress I made up to that point.
I want to take my hate forward. Raised in the ghetto, misery, whatever it takes to instill hatred for the Gods, I deserve to take something from this life and this is what I want.
Cheap and easy, probably stumbled on this technology. Of course “cheap and easy” is punishment they inflict on Europeans through Christianity.
Fucking lousy hypocrites. Don’t be surprised if they are the most hedonistic sexual deviates too.

What the fuck?

^ I second that. Is that an excerpt of a fantasy novel or something? And shouldn’t the spam filter have caught it, considering the fact that there’s a swear word in it?
About ddoll:
That is a hate comment. Pure and simple. Why is it bothering this lady so much that many atheists believe scientific consensus while SHE can believe what she wants to believe? There’s overwhelming scientific evidence for this theory and that is why only this side should freely be able to be taught in scientific education. Please get over it. Can’t believe she dedicates a whole review to insults and misrepresentations against a certain person for his opinions. How do people go through life being so volatile against anything that differs from their belief system? The world doesn’t revolve around creationism. Live and let live.

Bart:
I don’t have any swear words in the comment filter. My goal isn’t to censor people. The guaranteed way to be filtered is to have more than one link, mention a popular spam product such as Viagra or porn, or mention a certain disreputable family, who I rue the day I ever wrote about.
