Dave A New York minute is 60 times longer than a New York instant.    Either of them imply a time element which can be described as: immediately,  with emphasis.

The August 2018 edition of National Geographic has a keen article entitled; Are We As Awful As We act Online?   The gist of the article is that there is a lot of nastiness on social media.  Forums usually have moderators who try to keep things reasonably civilized but there are some forums that allow rude behavior.

I issue, herewith, a note of appreciation to our able and vigilant HAF referees.

I have always thought of HAF as a haven of succour and sanity.

Are We As Awful As We act Online?

Humans are the most awful creature on the planet. The internet just showcases it. Instant access to man's inhumanity to man.

Have I ever mentioned just how much I loathe humans?

It's not difficult to look after this place. There is a staff only forum and it is gratefully quiet. Not much drama.

The only other forum I spend time on anymore is the Garage Journal. A lot of what you see there is discussions of the dangers of 12 point sockets but there is also genius like this: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=387992

The only other forums I'm on are North American Motoring and Reddit, if that counts as a forum. On Reddit I usually stick to the makeup, sewing, and cake decorating subreddits.

I'm not going to recommend other atheist/rationalist sites here, but if anybody wishes to get my opinions on the few that I visit I'll do it via PM.

Others I spend time on are specialist sites. Historum is a history discussion site that I've been on for a long time. It has grown considerably since I joined, and I'm not particularly thrilled about the direction it's taken (moderation has got more activist, particularly one high-handed moderator, and they've taken to hiding threads that they don't approve of, which I consider ironic on a history site) but there are some good posts there, still.

Wordorigins is an etymology discussion site started and run by Dave Wilton, who also does an etymological blog. I read much more than I participate, there.

Wordorigins looks interesting. Thanks for the reference.
