Expelled
As a result of you're repeated rule breaks, I hereby expel you from Conservatives and Right-wingers alliance. You may request to rejoin on or after 7 March 2018. Right-wing RationalWiki, President of the Conservatives and Right-wingers alliance
 * As your position is purely honorary, and also because you are suspended, you do not have the power to expel members. Wilder Bicycle 21:00, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The more you edit that page, the longer your suspension will be. I have control over the party, not you. --Right-wing RationalWiki (talk) 21:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As you are suspended, you have no power to impose suspension, let alone extend a suspension. Under current party rules I am not suspended, or indeed expelled. You, however, are still suspended. Wilder Bicycle 21:03, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I was never expelled or suspended in the first place and you never had the power to remove me from my positions. Please dpnt make me make your suspension permanent.--Right-wing RationalWiki (talk) 21:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As the position of President is purely honorary, you have no power to expel members. As Membership Secreteary, I have expelled you. Wilder Bicycle 21:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

The Daily Wire and the 2018 Winter Olympics
Hello, you disagree with the use of the Daily Wire in regards to their commentary on the mainstream media's coverage of the North Koreans in the 2018 Winter Olympics. What about the source and/or information do you disagree with? --120.148.131.196 (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Successor Party
After the inevitable leadership coup, I have reformed RWRW's paltry organization into my new party: User:RoninMacbeth/Party of the Haunting Abyss and Snickerdoodles for All. As Supreme Overlord of the Party, I hereby extend an invitation for you to become the Party's new Chancellor, seeing as how we're the only two sane Party members. RoninMacbeth (talk) 05:25, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sane? Sane? You won't get people to join by insulting them! Wilder Bicycle 10:28, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You cannot ‘reform’ my party! --Right-wing RationalWiki (talk) 12:25, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Two things. First, I totally can, because I am currently in the process of doing so. Second, "your" party? I advertised my intentions as clear as day, and you ignored them. Really, you lose the party through sheer incompetence, if nothing else.
 * @Readymade: OK, sure. We're a different kind of insanity. Call us "super-sane." RoninMacbeth (talk) 16:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Its MY Party in MY userspace! And do you not see the irony in trying to reform a conservative party?--Right-wing RationalWiki (talk) 17:02, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, it's not so much a "party" as it is a weird pet project. It's kind of like the book club I made for myself in second grade sad and pathetic with only one real member. And I actually don't think reform is necessarily opposed to conservatism. Plenty of historical conservatives have advocated reform to keep the whole system intact. If there is indeed irony here, it's that you seem to lack any understanding of the ideology you supposedly adhere to. RoninMacbeth (talk) 18:59, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I recommend joining my party instead. 𝔊𝔬𝔞𝔱-𝔈𝔪𝔭𝔢𝔯𝔬𝔯 𝔅𝔦𝔤𝔰 (𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔡𝔰 𝔬𝔣 𝔴𝔦𝔰𝔡𝔬𝔪/𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔰) 03:30, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Ooh, I'm a paid AP sock! How delightful. I'll let the gender assumption go by for now, it's part of his obsession that we're all The Smiths. Wilder Bicycle 08:49, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

This is a great example of how the sock master lies. DS, here, is that sock master. The link is to the Anglo Pyramidologist category, which is many pages. The specific page that mentions you, Wilder, does so as ReadyMade. It does not accuse you of being a paid sock. It does not accuse you of being a sock at all. However, you have now sealed the matter, because you repeated -- or originated -- lies about what I have done.

The specific page was [site url]/rationalwiki/anglo-pyramidologist/supporters-and-enablers/

It is archived at http://archive.is/Wf0ZR

Debunking spiritualism is the currently most-active of the two sock masters described, on Wikipedia long ago, as Anglo Pyramidologist, and one of them (not DS) has claimed that most socks ("99.9%") are his twin brother. The conversations between them on RW clearly demonstrate this.

However, AP would not be able to do the damage he has done without support or enabling from others, or, the least of it, tolerance. There are claims of paid editing, both from the socks created by the "other brother" and by the now-open brother. There is no claim that the enablers are paid, not coming from me. Rather, there is suspicion of an organization involved, and it is certainly a possibility at this point that you are connected with an organization. But you have not been accused of that.

As well, on the matter of gender, there was no assumption of gender on that page. So ...

You lied. Why, I don't know, but these lies (i.e., repeating lies in the presence of clear evidence that is obviously to the contrary) define "enablers and supporters," so I'll be documenting that. That page was just a first creation. This is not a "threat of harassment." Just a reminder that truth has a way of coming out. We can all benefit from such reminders.

If the comment was just a thoughtless error, you could correct it, and that will be noted. As the matter stands, this conversation is also archived and how it goes will be documented. That's most of what I do, document, with only occasional and what have become obvious conclusions.

I have never been attacking "skeptics" as such. I am, after all, a skeptic and consider skepticism as essential to science. I have never claimed that "we," -- presumably RatWikians -- are "all the Smiths." Rather, there is an extensive list of socks, going back many years, that tend to collectively dominate on certain topics. DS is one of them. There is one more active recently. Not counting the many impersonation socks pretending to be me.

From recent history, this is likely to be deleted and even revision-deleted, but it cannot actually be hidden, and you will see it, unless you choose to turn away. I hold you responsible for the choices you make, which is general for all of us. --185.125.169.93 (talk) 18:15, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Ben Steigmann
I figured I should delete it because the pertinent article no longer exists. Steignmann's complaint was irrelevant. RoninMacbeth (talk) 19:33, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * We still don't delete talk pages, even for deleted articles. Instead, add Category:Talk pages for deleted articles (remove that first colon when you do). Thanks. Wilder Bicycle 19:38, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Would not the best method be to alter the ban to disallow editing the talk page? —Kazitor, pending 22:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I suppose so. Just as long as we're rid of the twat forever. But why would anyone want to edit a retired user's talk page? Wilder Bicycle 22:45, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

What's wrong?
You seem angry, if so why? 21:17, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I've spent the last couple of years here in two minds. I still had a feeling of wanting to still make some sort of contribution, and be part of a place I've been involved with since (almost) the beginning, but I've been growing increasingly frustrated at the decreasingly poor quality of the contributions here (apologies for lack of specifics, but it's kind a of a trend). I finally blew my top after asking for ninja rights (which i've had before) and, after saying in a jokey way that I can't write bots even though I want to, I get idiot comments from people thinking I want to write a bot. Are there really people who don't understand that "I would do x, but..." means "I cannot do X" rather than "I can do X"? Anyway, I'm off elsewhere. Do as you wish with the place, I've had enough. 92.5.142.112 (talk) 17:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC) (Sophie)
 * I'm probably too late here, but it seems that by moving the page back to "requests for user rights" it wasn't on my watchlist anymore, which is kinda dumb. If I had seen what was happening, I'm pretty certain I would have understood what you were asking. Shame about how you were treated, but if you'd like you can ask again I'd give you ninja —Kazitor, pending 06:54, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I too should apologize as it was my drive-by joke that likely caused everyone else's teasing of you. Again, my apologies, I never intended to hurt you. 12:48, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
