		<description>She found Jesus? (He was stuck between the sofa cushions)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seriously, if it`s for personal reasons, why the pressure to lay it out in the open? A statement she quit and wasn`t fired would suffice, I think.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#039;re only here to spread rumors then go away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nobody is spreading rumors about you, so why stoop to that level?</description>

		<description>character &#124;?karikt?r&#124; noun&lt;br /&gt;
the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
fifth column &#124; is a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group to which it is expected to be loyal -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To:  American Atheists Board of Directors&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through your collective lack of character, in the handling of your firing of Ellen Johnson, you?ve managed to make me ashamed of having been a member of American Atheists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through your collective lack of character, in this matter, you?ve gained a reputation for being unworthy of trust. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through your collective lack of character, in this matter, you?ve done more to substantiate the claim of the religious that Atheists lack moral character than any of the faithful have ever been able to accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which leads me to wonder if you are not, collectively a Fifth Column.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good bye&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Well I&#039;m very sad about Ellen being fired.  I don&#039;t understand why this happened.  If it&#039;s this upsetting for me, a comparative newbie, I can imagine what it&#039;s like for long-time American Atheist members.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From my point of view as a new member, this is a very wrong choice on the part of the board.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was all enthusiastic about the future and the work we&#039;d all do together and this development is demoralizing.  I can&#039;t imagine what the board was thinking.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Farewell Ellen you have done a good job and you can be proud.&lt;br /&gt;
People, Ellen was not the pope, if she was removed or quit or asended into the heavens there to sit at the right hand of the pink jellyfish, she served her time and will be replaced by whom we hope will be a strong and vocal representative of the American Atheist movement.&lt;br /&gt;
Christ, Athiestud, is Ellen your mother or something?</description>

		<description>To say I&#039;m unhappy about her termination is a gross understatement. I&#039;m hoping she&#039;s not the victim of a bunch of  &quot;Starched Shirt&quot; types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always cringe when I hear words like &quot;board of directors&quot; &amp; &quot;corporations&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
