Other than that, it was very sad to see Dave Silvermans actions this week. It is however not a new trend. Dave Silverman was almost the first in line to voice his support for Amy Roth after her famous 'being reduced to tears by a tshirt' incident at TAM a year or two back.

At the time I figured Dave was doing the politically astute thing (and I have little objection to a little such horsetrading), and wrote some very banal piece that really didnt fit under the title of 'speaking out against hate directed against women'.
However since then, again and again, I've heard him sounding more and more like a 'social justice warrior', and less and less like a man whose primary goal is promoting atheism. This has now culminated in the latest American Atheist convention both inviting PZ Myers (the man who has recently published anonymous third hand accounts that Michael Shermer is a serial rapist), and instituting a code of conduct at their convention that prohibits 'harassment based on religion'. The crazy thing being is that if I were to attend the AA conference, I would be expected to display a code of conduct that the institute itself doesnt uphold when it creates its religiously offensive billboards.
