I once ended up banned from /r/mensrights, /r/militantfeminism, and two or three others for suggesting that the entire populations of /r/2xc and /r/mensrights be locked in a raquetball court together with nothing but forks and pool noodles until the bodies had been piled high enough for the survivors to escape out the gallery windows above.
I used to really hate /r/atheism because it's rabid and angry. Dan McComas' wife 5days put it in perspective for me, though: if you're 16 and in the midwest, a place like /r/atheism is a godsend. The problem is that the people who enjoy it are all 16-year-old midwesterners with strict parents. The people who criticise it aren't. Rebecca Watson, on the other hand, is someone who I wouldn't piss on if she were on fire.
