1'd for disapproval. And i'm an athiest. I havn't actually seen his newest site, but the one I did see was thoroughly rational and deliberate (for example he never once claimed a christian god or any relevence to life other than the philosophical beleif). We should fight open displays of intolerance justified by religious beleifs, not ban philosophy cause it's not funny( coughy, art sites).
What annoys me isn't that he makes them, but that him and peterguy and the rest of gaggle of dupe accounts actually pay money to push them onto the frontpage. That's cracked yo. This is a site for short cool funny, screwed up stuff. Whetstone, on the other hand, just creates long long long winded diatribes of witnessing that everyone has heard a million times before and most people know are nonsense.
It also annoys me that people say they are "well made." Creating TEXT GIF that just slowly line by line reproduce copy-pasted witnessing websites with dumb loops takes 0 effort and creativity.
I don't like his YTMNDs either. But so what? You don't have to click on something with a header of "Cries of the Infidels". You're like some lousey parent that, rather than keeping an eye on their damn kids, bitches to congress about regulating TV so no one has to be subjected to the ravages of the word "ass" at 1 am.
Again, I'd like to stress that his YTMNDs are horrid, with the sophistication and sharp reason of a 1st grader. ... but this is no worse than the tripe seen elsewhere, e.g. http://sniffthatass.ytmnd.com/ ... and you're not clammoring for the removal of ZOG-Machine, are you.
... why not just leave whetstone with his foolishness and get on with it? Was this really worth making a YTMND over?
max mentioned today that he's considering not accepting anymore donations from Peterguy, GendoIkari since they insist on blindly sponsoring each and every YTMND that whetstone makes that corresponds with their "Christian" agenda. Whetstone is annoying, yes - but as plunge said the biggest problem is that he's being sponsored too often.
to Nuroticat:
ehh... Let Max get cash from them.
It only benifits the rest of us, right? ... if anyone's THAT worried about being annoyed by whetstone (I am, I guess, but no more than a mosquito bite's worth of annoyance), they could just click that handy "?" next to the top sponsored sites to see if whetstone is the creater, right?
Yes lets censor everything we don't like so that we don't have to deal with it. If his point of view is so absurd, you don't have to worry about him "coverting" anyone, and if it's not, then maybe it's a good thing. I'm an adamant agnostic, and although I disagree with Whetstone completely, you're just being an asshat. Censorship won't solve your problems.
i have my own religion and one every one of his sites. why? because I dont have to believe what he does. If we choose to ban him for this, we begin to go down a slippery slope, one where anyone could be the next one to be removed for whatever someone wants to. I can't agree with this idea. his crap is stupid, its not interesting and more importantly, is isnt funny.
the worst part is that we are allowing his beliefs to get in our way of enjoying things that could make us laugh. its making people make sites about him and how he should be banned when there are so many more important things we could be worried about. and besides, if every downvoter/gimmickvoter/upvoter on YTMND isnt getting deleted, doing this isnt going to make any difference either
honestly, i'm more upset i've wasted my time writing a third comment about this site than i am him and his crappy sites. seriously, i'm upset that someone got their panties in a bunch and wants to ban someone for what they believe. This is going to start the LAMEST fad, where people start flaming each other in the hopes of getting them banned.
man, this is like the old tv saying..."if you don't like what you're watching, don't watch it"
who the f*ck cares about this sh*t. if max cares enough to ban him, he'll ban him...he doesn't need some brown noser telling him why he should ban him.
not that i'm saying whet should be banned, because he's doing nothing wrong as far as i'm concerned. his ytmnds are at least more thought out than this garbage.
For all you downvoters, you must realize that this is MAX's server, he pays for it. MAX does, this is his house, and he asked whetstone to stop posting bullsh*t propaganda. What does whetstone do? He basically says "f*ck you max, i will do what I want in your house". Whetstone has no respect for max's property. Get it now?

Yeah, we get it. Which is why most of us feel that if Max wants to ban him, he can. But that doesn't mean we have to start making f*cking ytmnds about it. Don't f*cking worry about whetstone because if he's going to get banned, he will get banned. I'll re-emphasize the message the past few comments have been trying to give out.
"Don't watch whetstone's sh*t if you don't want to". Jesus christ, it just doesn't make any sense.
All things considered, max's recent decision to auto-add
"TOO MUCH JESUS, NOT ENOUGH C*CK" to whetstone's comment sections is probably more effective than banning him. The pic injects a dose of badly needed humor into his sites that lack it, and lightens up the comments section so people won't take his YTMND's as seriously.
Yes, his YTMNDs are illogical and he's arrogant, but if we ban him for that, we'd have to ban 90+% of YTMND users. I say let him do whatever he wants -- if he wants to preach, fine.
I actually thought his 'why god exists' thing wasn't bad, just missing some crucial logic and it spawned some interesting discussion. If you don't like him, downvote him or just tune him out.
I vote yes. Banning him is the only way he'll stop making religious YTMNDs, short of not accepting donations to his site. After being warned more than once, and still posting his controversial bullsh*t, he needs to be silenced. And though asking for 5s is lame, this is something I'm willing to donate a vote to.
No, I don't share whetstone's views, and that doesn't mean he should be banned. The reason he should be banned is because he donates to his own sites, further propagating this giant fiasco of controversy. Noone wants this sh*t shoved down their throats. And yeah, 90% of the users on this site probably should be deleted or banned- because 90% of the sh*t on the server is just useless sh*t. Ever gone on random.ytmnd.com for a couple hours? It gets goddamn depressing. Same goes with Peterguy. They stir too much controversy over something too trivial. End of Story.
You f*ckin Nazi. "Well here's a guy who is religious and I don't like that he has the freedom to express himself in a manner that I don't agree with, so why don't we impose my personal belief." Dude you're just as bad as a f*ckin Muslim who would kill anyone who doesn't agree with his views. Grow up, go to college, learn about tolerance.
*Sigh* Christians are Christians because they are terrified of death. Thats it. The reason they try to get others to belive thier idiot fairy tales is so that they don't feel so wierd and alone. Same reason geeks band together XD. But really, I have the right to call them gutless, fear and hate-mongering cowards, just as much as they have a right to call me an infidel. *shrug*
As an athiest, I don't give a crap about what this guy thinks or does. You're acting like this guy has some sort of mind control device that will convert you to his way of thinking. With you oppressing his freedom of expression, it makes you look like a Nazi. If you take offense do as everyone else does and just ignore it. No one is forcing you to watch his sh*t. You are making it seem as if YOUR views are more correct then his. The whole catch 22 about religion is, you can't prove that a being does or doesn't exist. Just let it be and move on because you are clearly biased in believing your way of thinking is more correct then whetstone's.
◄Well I just got up and was saddened to see this site- not because it's against me- but because the devisive comments have now spilled out of my comments section into other places. STOP THE RELIGIOUS WAR! I have never put my stamp of approval on it- but just accepted it because it was on MY sites. Now that it is going elsewhere on YTMND it really needs to stop. Ban me for speaking my mind- sure. But this is not the way to approach the issue.►
It's not an infringement of free speech because this site is privately owned and unattached to the government. He has the right to decide who gets to be here and who doesn't. It's his property rights. But it wouldn't be a good idea to ban him. All that does is make a person dig their heels in even more. Best thing is to just ignore the sites if you don't like them.
Let me get this straight. whetstone came to your house. He turned on your dad's computer. He sat you in front of it, there in the living room. He dialed up your family's AOL account. He handcuffed your left hand to the arm of your computer chair. Then he grabbed your right hand, put it on the mouse, went to Bookmarks-YTMND, and clicked on his OWN SITE, then pried your eyes open with toothpicks and FORCED you to watch it. lol, call the cops. Don't bitch to me.
"Free speech? This is f*cking YTMND, and Max is the Bill of Rights. He can
do whatever the hell he wants to whomever he wants on this site, it's his
property. If he wants to perma-ban everyone who commented on this, no
screaming of the first amendment will help you." Quoted for the love of God (Zomg religion banzorz me)
Here's the problem though, I don't like coming to YTMND and seeing racist jokes and gay jokes and porn innuendos. Are you guys going to stop doing that? No, you guys will tell me to go away. The same thing goes for whetstone whether you like it or not. He can make those YTMNDs and complaining about it is silly
