This is sooo ironic. We are all denied entry, meanwhile CC's most infamous banned flamer is a co-mod of the clan. Is this to be the black eye that the civility clan never recovers from?
I disagree simply because of the way the original post was presented. Civil debate is always enjoyable, I've engaged in countless of them as well as countless mindless flaming rants. However, to me, the way this is presented doesn't sound to me like something that is practical. It sounds more like you don't like the way specific posting styles/ideas rather than a dislike of the etiquette in posting (which I could support).
What you consider "adamant, militaristic atheists/conspiracy theorists," can be considered as a very plausible explanation, and not even a "conspiracy theory," by many others. I would agree with many who say that those who are religious blindly follow religion... does that make me unable to participate in these said forum?
There's alot of conjecture going on here. We're discussing things and all have full time jobs to boot. Sorry if we're not getting back quickly, but don't immediately think that this guy or that is the reason you're not getting in. We each have a different idea about who to admit and when, and the idea of having three mods is specifically to hold down decisions based on personality conflicts and the like.
Right now I'm in favor of holding things down to a small number of people, just because it's easier to runs things with a small group while we are organizing. That doesn't mean that others will not eventually be invited in (it's certainly no fun arguing with people that agree with you all the time). Don't jump to conclusions; I've certainly said "Not yet" to more new members than BES. It isn't that we don't want you in; it's only that we're trying to make sure the environment is the best it can be when you arrive. Just be patient; this is new for us.
too funny, your only organzing a forum not a new government!!!

Here I am proving what a civilised guy I can be when I'm not winding people up to stave off workplace boredom... and you go appealing to my inner-child with the verbal equivalent of offering a wandering kid "Magic Sweeties in the back of my Pontiac".
If this is to be my 40 days and 40 nights, then I say get behind me Satan... my will is iron and I shall not yield to your temptations.

Does this mean that anyone can poke fun at you mercilessly in this thread and you won't retaliate at all?
I'd have gotten in on this, but I usually don't really visit callouts that much. Yes, there are more JFs than GHs, but look at the numbers: There are 11 JFs and only 1 GH in it, whereas overall the ratio is 8 to 1. And anyway, that doesn't matter. What matters is how many applied, and how many were rejected. I'm willing to bet that most, if not all of those rejected are in GH. And I'm also willing to bet that all JFs who applied got accepted. Also, to make it even one of the mods should be in GH since one of them is in JF.

To be fair they kicked Danger Boy, which isn't much of a achievement since anyone familiar with him would not even had let him in.
Also, I'm applying for mod. Might as well as BES will be leaving shortly.
