Rev to be pedantic Atheism doesn't nessecarilly mean someone who will accept proof to change their convictions, coneivably an Atheist could be a stounch non believer who ignores all evidence. Atheist just believe there is no god for whatever reason and the group is a real mixed bag. Just as christians includes everything from russian ortodox, to protestant with the catholics added in for the extra spicy kick. Generalizing over a group of people that diverse is going to be inaccurate.
What you are descirbing seems closer to an Agnostic Atheist, someone who isn't sure if there is a god but believes there is none.
That said the main point of argument on wether it's appropriate or not to rejoice in the death of an induvidual, I would have to say yes.
Reasining as follows:
1) Might makes Right: Bob is the administrator and he okayed it. These are his forums.
2) Location, Location, Location: People from all over the world come here, and what is polite, and acceptable, varies a great deal depending on where you are. So we need to have some sort of common yardstick we can use. See (1)
3) Respect must be earned: Rev Dark made some interesting points regarding the way he talks about Farwell and it is consistent. There should be no change in this just beause the person died.
I find Rev's arguments for why it's ok to treat the dead with such disrespect highly compelling. Personally I am uncomfortable with it because of the behaviors ingrained on me at a young age, but see above.
Sorry for butting in, you can now go back to your regularly scheduled shouting match.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
