I'm the one that alerted on the poopyhead post.
Or is it poopiehead? Someone will have to let me know
Anyways, I alerted on it, and left soon after. Reading other threads, I sense this is clearly this is a huge deal, and so I thought I'd come back and make a few comments.
First off, I would like to make where I stand clear. I'm a strong atheist that would probably be best described as antitheist. I hold very no respect for religion or religious beliefs, beyond someone's right to have them.
I fully recognize that there are a whole bunch of poopyhead-ish things going on in the other forum, and that many of you put up with way more crap than I would. I realize that this is supposed to be a safe haven, and I absolutely think we should be able to have discussions about what happens in the other forum, as well as be able to show a general lack of respect for religion and the religious. I get that there are disruptors in that other group that come and disrupt here as well, and that for many of you this is tiring, if not infuriating. In my opinion, Warren Stupidity's post should not have been hidden, and I would have voted so on that jury.
That said, I thought the poopyhead post crossed a line. It added nothing of value to the conversation other than the first sentence, and that could absolutely have been put in a constructive way. I alerted on it, and in all honesty, it probably would have been alerted on anyway. In no way was my intent for the alert to disrupt, but instead to ask for a higher standard.
This is a good group, and I like the conversations and people here. Please, keep it civil. That post wasn't really offensive, but it was pretty childish and it was unnecessary.
I'm now a self-proclaimed poopyhead, according to another thread, so have at me.
(Note to possible jurors, I know this is pretty meta, but half the recent posts here are. Figured one more wouldn't hurt, and it might soften the tone here to learn it was an atheist, not a believer, that alerted. Or so I can hope.)
= new reply since forum marked as read
Seems to me like things have been exceptionally heated as of late.
Mini verbal wars have been rage between here the other forum and the other other forum and tensions have been running high. So it makes sense that there would be people venting and seeing those threads get shut down for what appears to frivolous reasons only adds to the wave of resentment.
I think it best to give other posters understanding and some breath to cool down. If you are wanting a higher standard of discussion it might be better to be an example of that standard rather than shutting down people who are seeking catharsis. Especially when they are using rather tame language and euphemisms that are meant to ease a bit of the bite from their commentary.
Understanding goes a long way. Especially in a forum like this where we are all subject to some sort of inequity on a nearly daily basis. Especially if one is being a poopyhead....cause that shit stinks.
It's too bad people are intimidated by religious bullies or pseudo-atheist housekeepers (probably the same thing), but I know they have an effect. It's hard to live and let live within any reasonable margin when there are those who don't believe in the concept.
Speaking for myself, I'm just too cowardly to say it as boldly and risk a hide. 
Who do just fine keeping posts that are off topic out of the group. If you think you can do a better job than they do, then please put your name in the rings and petition for a spot as host.
Until that happen, actions like yours just come across as petty. We're all adults, and capable of determining for ourselves if a topic is acceptable or not. If it is, it's talked up. If it's not, it sinks.
We don't need another nanny here---we have an internet full of them who are happy to have manufactured outrage at innocuous posts.
Thanks for adding to the cacophony of their oh-so-very-concerned voices that obliterate real discussion by their alert trolling which keeps important voices and contrarian viewpoints silent
If you don't think there is a bias against atheist posts sent to a jury, look at the bigoted shit that was alerted on **and left** in my post about homophobia. And then look at the absolutely bullshit hides by atheist posters.
Thanks for your contribution to our group you really did wonders for decreasing acrimony by that bullshit move. You could have asked the poster to delete. You could have notified the hosts. You didn't do that. You went below the belt and now that poster has a hide for no reason that will be on their profile for 3 months. Great job
Fucking BRILLIANT!!!
