...But isn't /r/skeptic also kinda aggressive and offputting? ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 22:02, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Well yeah, but nobody goes to /r/skeptic for an "objective, rational" perspective. NaughtyRuse (talk) 22:08, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Hey, if you ever find a place where people are both A. objective and reasonable, and B. not doing it as part of some complex psycho-social ego act that centers around being better than people who aren't rational and reasonable, please let me know. I'd like to visit it. So far, zero hits for me, though I'd like to think most of the community here tries. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 22:13, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Are you implying that skeptics might not be totally-objective ubermensch? Typical feels-not-reals Cultural Marxism! NaughtyRuse (talk) 22:16, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Speaking of "'objective, rational' perspective"[edit]

Hi! Welcome to RationalWiki! Just to clear up a few misconceptions:

  1. We have no pretensions to neutrality, nor to objectivity.
  2. We actively discourage hatefulness (which really includes "offputting aggressivity", imho).
  3. Despite the name, we don't actually argue that we somehow "represent rationality".

Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Th hug.gif All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 23:50, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

I get all that -- but that's not what a casual visitor sees. If the article isn't really really good, they just see pretension. NaughtyRuse (talk) 23:57, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Well, it's like they say — You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence, but You Can't Make Him Think. All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 23:59, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Not everything on RW is great, we know. If you can make improvements, it would be appreciated. Take a look at the Gold and Silver pages for some of the better ones. Your page on TruthWiki is a good start. Bongolian (talk) 01:14, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
What my colleague here is trying to say is; we provide God's own unfiltered truth here, safe from the clutches of liberal deceit, and our content couldn't be impro-... Oh, wait — wrong wiki. My bad! Ignore! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 01:19, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Captchas should be gone.[edit]
