::::Also b) "Indian Americans don't have the sewer mouths that American atheists have" - to use your own phrase "You haven't shown that." If you're going to make such sweeping generalisations, at least have something to back them up. In addition, you seem to be heading off topic, perhaps realising that you're losing this discussion.

::::In February of 2010, the news organization ''The Telegraph'' reported Richard Dawkins was "embroiled in a bitter online battle over plans to rid his popular internet forum for atheists of foul language, insults and 'frivolous gossip'."[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/7322177/Richard-Dawkins-in-bitter-web-censorship-row-with-fellow-atheists.html] Dawkins ended his forum because evidently none of the finishing schools were willing to teach atheists basic manners because they thought it was a impossible task. PZ Myers wrote: "I said "both sides," but there are actually three sides: me, the hosting organization, and you the readers. How would you react if, for instance, profanity filters went up on the comments? Right now, it's a real free-for-all in the comments, but I do clean up spam, ban certain elements that have demonstrated their trollishness, and will occasionally swoop in and erase comments that reveal personal information or contain nothing but bigoted raving."
