FF

I, for one, seemed to avoid the brunt of hazing or whatnot, largely because I don't think I said anything worth making a thread about. With that said, people thought I was a sock for a while precisely because I didn't really seem to out of place here; the coin goes both ways, I suppose.

I remember having sock accusations thrown at me during my first couple of months as a poster. It's a strange experience.
I never had to deal with that but I specifically remember warm welcomes from the likes of Keystone Phil and Bgwah, so to learn later that they were among the best people here was cool. Phil, that's my pasta brother but bgwah probably hates me for my sig. Such is life.

You've got to be pretty funkin stupid to vote HF.  Ok, perhaps stupid is too strong of a word.  You certainly have some mental issues you need to work through.

I think a bigger problem is this though- The Atlas attracts a very homogenous group of posters- young, white, middle class-upper class men. Thus, it often suffers from a lack of diversity of viewpoints (underrepresented ones include female/feminist views, and to a much lesser extent, social conservatism)...

Well, here I am boys: female and relatively social conservative! Still young, white, and middle class though.

My husband can add to the male tally when I get him to sign up, but he's more conservative than I am.

To be fair your sig is kinda horrible right now.  Not as horrible as your vile slander against obvious Hall of Famer Michael Strahan over in the other thread... but pretty bad all the same.

...

On a serious note, I agree with Sol.  I wouldn't post here if I didn't like this place, but it certainly has the deficiencies and blind spots that he noted.

Someone is cocky.



I don't enjoy the forum as much as I used to, nor do I post nearly as often. I think I mostly come here out of habit, to be honest.

I amend my statement about being "young." After looking through profiles of other posters and seeing how many are in their teens, I must be an old woman by comparison!

Welcome to the forum! I'm not sure we have ever had a female Republican here...btw, your social score in 2014 makes You pretty much top 10 most socially conservative around here but you know your views better than a stupid test. Tongue

The Rin-Chan/DWPerry dynamic was such gold. That guy was....special.

FF - Fortunately there hasn't been an "Opinion of Pessimistic Antineutrino" thread yet. Probably because I don't do anything. Tongue

Perhaps if you elaborated more on why you don't like neutrinos, you'd gain more respect on the forum.

I'm not anti-neutrino although they are pretty much pointless. Since they have no charge, and just pass through matter it's pretty much impossible to have an opinion about them one way or another.
Antineutrinos, as far as I'm concerned, don't even exist because there cannot be an opposite of a neutral particle. But it sounds better than "Pessimistic Neutrino or Pessimistic Muon".
