Article or essay[edit]
It's likely that I'll publish this as an essay instead of an article, because some people will insist on inserting forcing in "snark", and I think that the topic will greatly benefit if hyperbole is kept at a minimum. People are still welcome to make suggestions on the talk page, though.--ZooGuard (talk) 06:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- I think article, and make sure the snark is kept at bay. We can build a better RW that way. postate 07:57, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Linkdump[edit]
I have so many browser tabs open that I don't know if I'll manage to dump all the links. It doesn't help that I get easily distracted when reading old blog posts.
Some of the material, alas, is lost due to ScienceBlogs' transition to National Geographic - it ate the comments of Pharyngula, for example, and that's where Dear Muslima was.

Mike Tyson[edit]
I am trying to find out if I remember correctly a detail about Mike Tyson's rape case. So far my Googling hasn't found anything decent, but here's a representative article comment: [2]
love or hate tyson you would have to agree with him that he was set up !! he had a reputation with women so did this lady think she was going to his apartment for coffee ? or as he says he was set up either way a very unsafe conviction
And now I really need to go to sleep.--ZooGuard (talk) 21:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- What's that got to do with Rebecca Watson? WéáśéĺóíďMethinks it is a Weasel 01:06, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
- Just a tangent. If I remember correctly: coffee, late at night, hotel room. And people like the one above saying "what did she expect?".--ZooGuard (talk) 06:31, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
