I am so sorry about this.
I have been reading your work ever since I met you a decade ago at Skepticon in Springfield.
I guess the only thing I don't hate about this is that it's not just *you*, the entire outlet is closing down.
But that still sucks.

My ribses hurtses. :(
Despite all the nonsense I put my body through this Skepticon, I managed to injure myself on load-out by leaning too hard on a truck. Pretty damn sure I displaced my right 8th rib. Then popped it back in place the next day. Should probably see a doc huh?

Yeah the difference between good skeptics and bad skeptics tends to be the good ones try VERY HARD to not be assholes because they aren't assholes and know how uncomfortable people get being told they're wrong. A youtube skeptic I like a lot literally gave a talk about it

Did I just miss it, or is that an argument it hasn't occurred to any "Skepticon" defenders to make? And is it even the case?

Seems to me a better argument than I've heard for the name "Skepticon" would be: we want to promote *skeptical* atheism, not just atheism.
