I’m a self-identifying skeptic, and - indeed - an atheist.

I am interested in the way people interact and have had some contact with feminism since the Women’s Voice days of the 70s. I’ve also got an interest in the way domestic violence (DV) issues are approached and managed.

Morna Simpson (@girlgeeks) has produced some interesting DV links recently - about female on male violence, and I’ve been doing some reading around the area. I found my way following comments in some of this reading to the some of the freethoughtblogs.com areas.

I’ve read about Elevatorgate, Skepchicks and Tshirts…, backchannel mailing lists, hacking…

Wow. So much hostility and anger to each other - from people who are avowedly in favour of free thought.

I was… astonished.
