From "Egregious sources" down
Should this stuff be moved to a new RationalWiki:Clogroll page, to parallel RationalWiki:Blogroll, or does it serve some special purpose here? Cømrade FυzzчCαтPøтαтø (talk/stalk) 00:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- No. It's already largely duplicating RationalWiki:Webshites and the list of internet kooks. We don't need yet another page covering the same ground. Wëäŝëïöïď
Methinks it is a Weasel 00:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- All right. Then should all three be merged? Cømrade FυzzчCαтPøтαтø (talk/stalk) 02:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Quite possibly. Though the word "webshites" should be binned IMO. I like "clogroll" a lot - David Gerard (talk) 10:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- @DG: If we binned webshites, where would you put non-blog websites that we don't like? Cømrade FυzzчCαтPøтαтø (talk/stalk) 02:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- mmmmmm, good question ... - David Gerard (talk) 12:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Homophobes and unborn children
So, my first thought was "Ugh, homophobes." Then I wondered "Why are some of these tweets phrased so formally?" Then I started wondering "You know, if it was possible to determine if a baby was gay before it was born, these people would undoubtedly abort them." Is that something that should be allowed? In one way, it'd possibly be good in that the unborn child doesn't have to grow up in such a hostile environment (though whether that's sufficient reason to deny a person-to-be their existence I leave up to you), but it would also empower bigots and reduce diversity. This is a similar concern as with sex-selective abortion, though people having a preference for getting either a boy or a girl is generally accepted in society. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 08:07, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Why, exactly, shouldn't it be as accepted as gender selection? Abortion equals murder or something? Dmytry (talk) 12:12, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for completely missing the point. Now other people will have a stellar example for what not to do. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 12:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's a bad reason to be sure, but I call my position pro-choice for a reason. If I though that people should only get abortions for reasons I agree with, my position would be far more restrictive than it is.--TiaC (talk) 18:09, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Why is this posted in February 2015 instead of March 2012? Wëäŝëïöïď
Methinks it is a Weasel 19:39, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Because things aren't always discovered as soon as someone posts them on the internet? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 19:43, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Wake up call for atheists?
I can't actually suss out what I'm supposed to wake up from? I think it's been pretty clear forever that there are serious anti-Muslim bigots in the atheist community(and among atheists who aren't part of our "community"). I read through the article looking for some indication of what I was supposed to do as an atheist, and all I found was a broadbased accusation that I didn't know or care about minority rights. Ikanreed (talk) 14:32, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Well, "A Wake-Up Call For Xenophobes" wouldn't be inflammatory, would it? Frederick♠♣♥♦ 19:22, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Clogosphere or Blogosphere?
I have noticed a few messages on this forum which I think belong in the Blogosphere. Articles written from reputable sources about internet wingnuttery rather than by wingnuts themselves. Can someone please clarify what type of article goes where? Thanks.--Mercian (talk) 18:59, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- If it's a good article, Blogosphere. If it's a shit article, Clogosphere. If it's a good article about shitty things, your pick. αδελφός ΓυζζγςατΡοτατο (talk/stalk) 19:24, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Ben Carson
That's dupe entry number 3 I think. I'm not merging that one into the other ones again. Mayo2017 (talk) 10:42, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Halfs?
I'm not a fan of Kotaku, but speaking as someone who is 75:25 Koreo-Japanese, am I missing something about the article on biracial people in Japan? Is there something Clogworthy about it that I'm not getting? Japan is pretty notoriously xenophobic (particularly towards certain groups), and the Internet populace of Japan isn't significantly less vulnerable to the Online disinhibition effect[wp]. Noir LeSable (talk) 22:10, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- It was put there by the 74 IP, so they might not have had a particularly good reason to add it here. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 22:24, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
The Clog About Cenk Uygur.
I notice that it's getting a mixed reaction. I didn't submit it, but I do agree that the youtuber atheism-is-unstoppable is a nut and he's a pedantic nitwit too. Yeah, Cenk Uygur goes soft on Islamic issues, but that's to be expected, considering he deconverted from Islam. The most important thing is that he doesn't support Daesh/ISIS, right? The other, more anonymous youtuber seems to get a bug up his ass if someone isn't as xenophobic as Sam Harris. What exactly is the goal of being more contempuous of Islam itself? It's not like you can go to war with 1 billion people. Hotwateramericano (talk) 18:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
