I've had enough of reading about 'Atlas' without knowing the back story!
Someone give me the low down or provide links please
Must..... not.... provide.... link... pain... is... too... much.....
Atlas is a seriously unfortunate juvenile with mental health problems. He fancies himself a Godhead and above the normal laws of society, choosing instead to crib whatever philosophical stance happens to float under his wandering eye that day, and become an impassioned and ofttimes abusive proponent of that philosophy. He has carried on a running battle with several members, most notably Matthew Wright, ending in the most dramatic fashion when Atlas was banned shortly after playing out an "I'm going to commit suicide" scenario. He has broken his ban literally dozens of times with new identities, but cannot cover his tracks well enough, reverting to the character of a holier than thou, delusional demigod with ultra libertarian morals, and an aggressive debating style.
And then becomes the whipped child when he is confronted with logic, truth or a world view other than his own.
