Conservapedia talk:What is going on at CP?/Archive298

CP at its most accurate ever
The database at CP is so bollixed right now the main page just says: The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named "Main Page". This is usually caused by following an outdated diff or history link to a page that has been deleted. If this is not the case, you may have found a bug in the software. Please report this to an administrator, making note of the URL.

The entire site is also moving as fast as molasses in January. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 11:29, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing Ken's manic oversighting has finally broken the SQL table or something. I can't even get the main page or recent changes to load. -- PsyGremlin Hable! 11:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess the internet really does have a maximum level on bullshit? [[Image:AndyToad.gif|20px]]Norseman  Cyser Melomel  12:00, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're patient enough, it's as if the entire layout crashed so all you'd see are links and text. Just three whole actions the day of August 23rd, including Karajou's "we say crazy shit and it's your job to disprove us!" block. [[Image:AndyToad.gif|20px]]Norseman  Cyser Melomel  12:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's back now. Looks like they've lost nearly a day of edits. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 14:26, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * 0h, if only they could take it all back to October, 2006! Perusing MPR shows the same...lapse and you know that if anything is going to have edits to it it's going to be MPR! C ® ackeЯ 14:41, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

DDoS
Did RW organize a DDoS campaign to take down CP? The last couple days have seen spotty access to my favorite hateblog. Or is it the public rushing for conservative insights? Either way, I'm sure August traffic will be record-breaking. Occasionaluse (talk) 15:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The decline in bookshops in Laredo means people worldwide are flocking to Conservapedia and jamming in the doorway. This site is growing rapidly! 80.74.16.198 (talk) 15:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Nah, it looks like somebody broke the database - only 3 edits remain from yesterday. probably Ken through his over-eager oversighting. -- PsyGremlin Поговорите! 15:24, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I could hardly get a response from CP yesterday. I think those edits are only there because Assly and Karajou were determined enough to make them. Does anyone remember seeing more edits than that? Occasionaluse (talk) 15:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, there were definitely many more edits yesterday than we can see today. And I didn't see any CP outages yesterday from here in the Boston area, though they seem to be down this morning.  Phiwum (talk) 16:23, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Another classic from Kara"Scour the Desert"jou
[http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AJpope14 You accepted my challenge and provided us with peer reviewed papers that support your point? BUY THEM FOR ME!] Even if you do, I will still ignore you, boy. ~Karajou. WilliamR (talk) 06:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I love how he saids it like he's a drill instructor. Still pissed you never got your own personal love boat Karajou? --Revolverman (talk) 06:54, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't posting the papers for all to see be piracy? Is Karajou asking for CP to be used for piracy? --Opcn with regards to regarding my regardliness 07:46, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I might be wrong, but I doubt it. The price to pay is more for the effort of getting, and sending the papers then any royalty fees. --Revolverman (talk) 07:54, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Uh, what? This is the information age, the total processing power and electricity cost of sending those papers is a tiny fraction of a penny, like a few hundredths of a cent. Unless they are really old and someone is just being a dick the papers are probably still owned by the publisher, and selling access to them is what they do for a living. --Opcn with regards to regarding my regardliness 08:11, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, I was suprised how little is electronic now a days. I know when I was at university, most of it was still just journals and the such. --Revolverman (talk) 10:05, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Can someone put this one into context for me? I had a quick scour through the guy's contributions and couldn't find anything that looked related. All his recent ones concern Todd Akin. -- جئت ورأيت أنا القرف  gross, isn't it? 09:53, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's an oldie, but a goodie. You, Jamesmackenzie, are going to scour the area once known as the Kingdom of Urartu ... rpeh •T•C•E• 10:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, how I missed Kara's impotent drink-fueled rages. "Yes, you've shown me evidence that contradicts me, but YOU WILL abide by my totally arbitrary conditions, otherwise I will ignore you." I seem to recall him doing the same during the Kool Aid debate on CP - demanding that somebody physically read his source to Karajou. Presumably because kara was too pissed to read it himself. -- PsyGremlin Hable! 10:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd forgotten about that one! That isn't good enough. I want YOU to read it and SAY it here. Happy days. rpeh •T•C•E• 10:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is that pissed in the British or American sense?--Spud (talk) 11:04, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Didn't even notice this until now, after making said demand, he promptly blocks him. God, it must be nice to win arguments at the click of a button. --Revolverman (talk) 11:06, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * A-ha! Another Karajou classic:

Since you decided to leave a sarcastic entry on my talk page regarding Flavoraid, you're now stuck looking for real references which are going to be used to create and improve the Jonestown article I am writing. You are going to get newspaper, newsmagazine, or video references which state explicitly references to Flavoraide at Jonestown; these references will be dated within two months of November 18, 1978 and not later; and you've got until 10:30 pm central time tonight to dig them up. If what you've implied is true, they will be posted in the article, you will get the credit, and I will eat my words to that effect. If not, then I will block you for a week for the sarcasm as well as assisting in a lie. Get to work. Karajou 14:42, 29 May 2008 (EDT) -- PsyGremlin Speak! 11:19, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * More stunning is this rare admission from Karajou:

Sorry to revert the block, LearnTogether, but I didn't take offense at all to his comments of yesterday, and he did take them back, as well as myself. Besides, and I'm referring slightly to the cheap order I made (and it is cheap, with my apologies to TomMoore), when someone says that he does go to a library to do research on a particular subject, I have to give that person the time to do so...so when 10:30 came and went guess what could not happen? My block threat. Not everything is available on the net, and unlike Tom, I do have a ProQuest access through my university. Karajou 00:05, 31 May 2008 (EDT) I honestly have trouble imagining him to admit to being too heavy-handed these days. I suppose he sobers up on occasion. Phiwum (talk) 14:59, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Does it seem to anyone else that with JPratt pretty much MIA, Popeye has taken it upon himself to take up the slack in the being a complete idiot department? -- 21:10, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely. The corollary to that is that Popeye's reaction to a JPratt comment is to repeat "Yeah man" through froth-flecked lips whilst banging his head against the soft furnishings in his room. rpeh •T•C•E• 21:25, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you imagine how long this guy would have lasted on Wikipedia if he didn't get banned over what happened with Ed Poor? There would be no end to his edit warring. Even providing cited sources would be hopeless, as you'd have to buy your peer reviewed articles for him (nevermind the fact that he has in the past claimed to have access to a college's database of journals....speaking of which, maybe someone with a sock to burn could bring this up?) WilliamR (talk) 21:34, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Meh, the Koward was never in the running for sysop at WP so it's all immaterial. Also, he probably does have college access to journals. I think that I am correct in assuming that as an ex-serviceman he gets tax-payer funded further education Somehow that doesn't count as liberal sponging. Effing hypocrite.  Lily Inspirate me. 21:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Karajerk is indeed sucking at the government teat when it comes to his education. Even more bizarre, he's apparently studying anthropology and archeology at LSU. Not sure how he equates that with being a YEC fuckhead? Maybe he yells at his lecturers and tells them they're wrong if they come up with a date older than 6,000 years ago. -- PsyGremlin Tala! 09:46, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, many YEC wingnuts take geology courses so that they can then brag about their credentials, but they're already so cemented in their mindset that they won't waver. They'll just parrot enough of the course material back for the benefit of the examiners and then revert to the party line but with added ORTHORITTEE! Генгис silverbrain.png 11:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps its an act, and he really isn't anything but a bully, and just licks Andy's asshole because he gives him a place where he can feel powerful? --50.98.213.233 (talk) 09:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

An aside
Found it funny - whilst searching for the Kool Aid / Flavor Aid debate, to find Ed the Moonie Cultist objecting to use of the words "mind control" and "brainwashing" in the Jonestown article. I guess it hit a little close to home. -- PsyGremlin Tala! 09:46, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Karajou reading fail, part MXXXLVIII...
NOt exactly a surprise that Karajou would take a hateful screed and promote it as truth without a cursory reading of the original source. Turns out that while the DOJ and other Federal offices are being instructed to try to hire more disabled people, this sentence in the document Karajou's source links to is curiously ignored:


 * "A qualified individual with a targeted disability is a candidate who, based on his or her background, skills, and experience, 'would have been otherwise appropriate for selection for interview, with or without a disability."''

So while having a targeted disability gets you right to the front of the hiring queue, you'd have to be able to do the job in the first place to score an interview. Classy as always, Karajou. --DinsdaleP (talk) 18:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sure his fellow veterans support his anti-disability stance, because no ex-servicemen are disabled. Генгис silverbrain.png 07:11, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "have to be able to do the job" is tricky though. One of the things we really, honestly see in my profession is that most non-senior jobs will get a high ratio (sometimes more than 90%) of applicants who cannot do the job. They have paper qualifications and a glowing CV but I mean simply that they are unable to do the actual job, they aren't remotely capable of the core task for which they would be hired. We now use screening, but if you don't know to do that (or more likely if your work isn't suitable for screening) then you would have to interview these useless candidates as we used to. There's no reason to think that disabled candidates would magically reduce that number from 90% so that means more often than not the disabled candidate who jumped the queue is useless. How many times can you interview and reject such candidates before your management conclude that you're discriminating and require you to just hire the next one based on their paperwork? 82.69.171.94 (talk) 08:53, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that be the Peter Principle? Генгис silverbrain.png 17:09, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really, no. The Peter Principle is when Bob, who is a perfectly good mechanic, gets promoted to manager, at which he's no good, usually because there is no mechanism for career advancement or salary increases outside of promotion to a different role. That's a problem with an organisation, it's not really Bob's fault that this happened to him. Whereas what I'm talking about is when we advertise a job for a Java programmer, we will get a large number of external applicants who cannot in fact write programs in Java. It's as if Bob quit his mechanic job and specifically went out looking for a job as a manager even though he's no good at that. Dunning-Krueger might have something to do with it, or some other cognitive problem in the incapable, or maybe they're just lying. It doesn't really matter to an employer which is the case. 82.69.171.94 (talk) 17:53, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Piers Morgan is a liberal?
Um...yes, he is. If editing the Daily Mirror wasn't enough, he gave the paper an anti-Iraqi invasion position. London Grump (talk) 23:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * So is Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity according to Andy.
 * Yes, but LG's point is that even by usual standards he'd be a liberal, making the comment seem odd. 81.137.227.129 (talk) 11:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That CP page has never existed. Was the unnamed editor being ironic, or has Andy called Coulter and Limbaugh liberals? -- PsyGremlin 講話 11:48, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is that page's lack of visibility because CP is so futzed right now? (Okay, CP is always futzed, but this time, the reason is technological.) MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 11:58, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but there's nothing in the logs for it either. -- PsyGremlin Tal! 12:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw in the logs that Andy created a page titled "RINO Backers" (or "RINO backers"?) yesterday, to list persons who were not RINOs but reacted against Akin's stupid claims. I saw it yesterday, but didn't bother to view the page.  So, I suppose that the unsigned link noticed those three names were listed on the page and the page has since been unexisted. Phiwum (talk) 14:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Something is terribly borked over there. From what I see, only three edits occurred at CP yesterday, at 00:01, 00:40 and 00:45.  I guess that August 23, 2012 just didn't really happen. Phiwum (talk) 14:15, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * We'll have to wait until CP is less borked to find out for sure. -- PsyGremlin Zungumza! 14:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * There are thirty-three missing hours in the logs. I'm not sure if it will become less borked.  And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if addle-brained User:Conservative was ultimately behind this lost day.  That, or God.  Mean ol' son-of-a-gun.  Phiwum (talk) 14:36, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks like the article in question went west during The Day That Wasn't. Also, with Ed driving off August, there's not much chance that Andy will be able to recover the info this time. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Prata! 14:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Insistence that data be recoverable is a liberal value. True conservatives know that God remembers everything. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 14:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * What happens to socks accounts that were created yesterday, the 23rd? C ® ackeЯ 14:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was me who forgot to sign that reply. If you look at the new RINO Backers page, Andy has Coulter Limbaugh, and Hannity on the RINO side, which is just another word for liberal in Andy's mind.  I am not shocked by Andy's support of Akin, given his and his mother's view on rape and women in general.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 20:59, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Todd Akin - now a mystery
The GOP's party bosses are behind the bullying of Akin.

Good to see that Andy is sticking to the line that rape doesn't cause pregnancy, and defending it in his own batshit revolting way. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Zungumza! 12:40, 24 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Perhaps Andy is beginning to realize what I realized ages ago: the GOP's leadership doesn't give a damn about social conservatives' issues; they just want their votes. And they have those votes so locked up they'll treat their social conservative members like shit if need be. MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 12:44, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Does andy know that in 31 states, Rapists can sue for custody of their victim's children. Or does that not happen, and these women being sued for custody by their CONVICTED rapists are just illusions?  --[[Image:green mowse.png|25px]]<font face="Estrangelo Edessa"><font color="Blue">Godot Iz a sekret Kristian  17:09, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * WHAT?! That is seriously fucked up. So a convicted rapist can sue for custody of a child, but let a gay couple try and adopt... <font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Parla! 17:23, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Citation needed.
 * How many have actually managed to get custody? MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 19:05, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Dumb question
If Andrew Schlafly's "Homeschool" is the pooled efforts of several teachers, he teaches classes over 30 kids, and it's in a church basement... is it even homeschooling at that point? It sounds more like a parochial school with no oversight. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 16:00, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It is, but because he gets to lead the class in prayer before feeding them his bullshit. Remember, prayer is more important than knowledge for Andy. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Parlez! 16:06, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I believe it's 2 hours once a week, so it's pretty hard to call it "school" in any meaningful sense. I think this sort of endeavor isn't uncommon for homeschoolers, albeit with a less batshit insane instructor. Also, is it the pooled efforts of several "teachers"? I though it was at least 90% Andy. DickTurpis (talk) 16:41, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Andy has a rather, what should I say, "liberal" view of what constitutes home-schooling. Basically it can be anything that is not state-funded education, although he did apply for a government grant at one time. <font color=Blue>Генгис silverbrain.png 16:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * To be regulated as a "school" in Colorado, you need to meet with the students more than 1/2 time (I think fully time is 38 hours, but I could be wrong) and have more than 7 students. Otherwise, it can be framed as "tutoring" or "supplementation" or "specialized classes".  The University of Boulder has a program for kids who are homeschooled, that teaches them languages, or advanced sciences, or advanced math. I'm sure that's how Andy's "school" is regulated.--[[Image:green mowse.png|25px]]<font face="Estrangelo Edessa"><font color="Blue">Godot Iz a sekret Kristian  17:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Didn't we send off for some sort of care package to the NJ Department of Education was considering an application from Andy? Theory of Practice "Trampoline" is an Olympic sport now? 17:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you all for explaining. That's pretty disturbing. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * @TOP Yeah, I did. I imagine it probably got nuked during the great purging of the CP namespace. Occasionaluse (talk) 18:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * File:SES_Application-0001resize.jpg Occasionaluse (talk) 18:59, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Notice how Andy says the learnin' will take place at a school, not a church. I think I remember something about him switching from church basement to school basement. Occasionaluse (talk) 19:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, that was just Andy bullshitting. He doesn't have a venue that can satisfy New Jersey's SES requirements, so he just handwaved that the teaching would take place in schools. That whole incident was hilarious. -- 19:58, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Has Thrustbuttocks given the game away?
An interesting insight into Terry Thrustbuttocks' views. Here's a rant by Roseanne Insanitary about evilution on TT's blog. Go to the comments and note Thrustbuttocks' response to the second comment: "[USA Constitution Amendment] XIV: Much of that text was an act of cynical revenge." Note that this was the amendment which, in 1868, gave equal rights to blacks and penalised states which refused to comply. What Thrust says just looks like a rant about wicked politicians defying the will of the Founding Fathers but actually, what he's really objecting to is the idea that people with a different colour to his should have the same political rights. I think I know where he's coming from in his rants about Obama. The Real James Brown (talk) 20:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting. I didn't actually have a clue what the 14th amendment was about and I didn't bother to check, but that information does light up a few bulbs. I'm not personally sure about Terry being racist though; he's certainly a religious bigot, but he appears to have at least one Arab friend.--Fergus Mason Thruppence I got for selling my coat, tuppence for selling my blanket. If ever I 'list for a soldier again, the Devil shall be my Sergeant. 20:37, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Arab =/= Muslim and I doubt that Terry has "friends" in the way that we might define the term. <font color=Blue>Генгис silverbrain.png 11:02, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to that equally racist Bader Qarmout, he's Jordanian Christian. And I doubt he's a friend. Terry latched onto his campaign (run by Unsanitary) so he could feel important again. Notice how Qarmout hasn't contributed to, nor been mentioned on, Terry's blog since he lost the primary. Hurlbut has no further need for him, so under the bus the raghead goes. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Prata! 11:19, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the one I was talking about. So is Qarmout a full-on wingnut as well?--Fergus Mason Thruppence I got for selling my coat, tuppence for selling my blanket. If ever I 'list for a soldier again, the Devil shall be my Sergeant. 16:14, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that's a yes-and-no answer. Yes, he ran on a Tea Party platform, with Roseann Insanitary as his campaign manager. However, he was also in favour of granting amnesty to illegals, something with apparently sent Roseann spare. Also, it seems fellow conservatives were less than enamoured with Qarmout. He was also associated with Col Manly Rash, aka Gene Hoyas. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Hable! 13:51, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope, Terry is blatant with his racism, as can be seen from this poll he added.
 * As you can see, the two options are:
 * Agree. Obama has betrayed those he promised to serve.
 * Disagree. Obama is doing exactly what the country, and black people, need.
 * Nope, not racist at all. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Parlez! 10:05, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That's not even his most blatant. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 16:20, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I can only attribute his shockingly bad faith (not just poorly researched for a "journalist") attack on Obama for Congress' removal of "Advice and consent" requirements for a few non-key positions to racism. Other presidents have done this far more. The disgusting part is that he uniformly misrepresents the effects of the statute by misnaming positions, etc., solely to tar Obama as seizing "kingly power." When I challenged him to either correct his essay or simply remove it because it's irredeemably fucked, he started 86'ing my posts. What a hatchet job. What a scumbag liar. How can one exult so stridently in a program of deceit? Is that a traditional xtian or "conservative value"? [[file:Nuttysig.svg|95px|link=User:Nutty Roux|Nutty Roux]]100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 16:30, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Terry's also got a pretty clear history of racism closer to home, against them damn illegals and anyone who looks even vaguely like them. Part of that is his knee-jerk fandom of whoever the far right decides is a golden boy, so Sheriff Joe's racist acts become A-OK in his books, but that's clearly not all of it. He just doesn't seem to care for Latinos in the first place. --Kels (talk) 16:50, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why Andy tolerates him. I thought that genuinely not being racist (qv hero-worship of Clarence Thomas) was one of Andy's few creditable character traits. The Real James Brown (talk) 21:44, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

The GOP not conservative enough for Andy
Now that the RINOs have had a power grab that "marginalises social conservatives and Tea Party folks like Todd Akin."

I wonder if we'll be getting a breakaway wingnut party after Romney loses? Also, it's called "damage control," Andy. Unlike you, who thinks the best way to put out flames is to add petrol. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Tal! 14:40, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Petrol is nourishing and good for the environment. The Real James Brown (talk) 14:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Whilst I'd love to see a breakaway party, I doubt it's going to happen. There are now two parties within the Republicans: Teabaggers versus the old fiscal Conservative types, but both sides will claim to represent the "real" GOP. Over the past few years, there's been a steady shift to the former, which has led the more reasonable GOP members to switch parties (Arlen Specter) or just quit (Olympia Snowe).
 * This election is going to be largely boring. I know things look close at the moment, but Obama will crush Romney. The interesting bit will be what happens next: does the GOP shift right or left? If it goes right, it'll be out of power for a generation. If it goes left, it could well win in 2016. rpeh •T•C•E• 16:39, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't get it. You people can reach CP today?  It's been unreachable for well over 24 hours for me.  Phiwum (talk) 17:12, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Methinks Karajerk is tired of being made fun of, so he's ranging blocking the planet. Odd how conservatism is so powerful that only certain people can be exposed to it, it's like nuclear waste in that regard.

 * Isn't Ed on record (I think it's somewhere on Wikipedia) as saying that he can't write for shit? Didn't he say that's why he writes for free on wikis instead of being a published author? I guess that private school in New York didn't read that.

It looks like the Conservapedia regulars still neither love nor hate Neil but couldn't give a toss about him either way. I've been hearing all day that Armstrong gave very few interviews and I'm sure that he was quite careful not to reveal his views on politics or religion, to avoid becoming a divisive figure instead of a representative of all humanity.--Spud (talk) 12:31, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Ed Poor keeps returning after several days/weeks of inactivity just to push people around, and AugustO appears to have given up on Andy's lengthy "review".

Media Bullying
A term allegedly coined by Andy and in use exactly nowhere else is suddenly a Best New Conservative Word. --<font face="Wild Words"> PsyGremlin Tal! 14:46, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hilariously, the closest cousin to this term/usage that I personally have seen actually comes from tweenagers crying on fanfiction forums, "IF YOU DON'T HAVE PRAISE FOR MY STORY DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL." The thing is that when one presents an idea 'in public' it's like putting one's best foot forward. It's like stepping on stage. If you step on stage covered in fish guts and garbage, no critic should be blamed for saying that you stink. That's not bullying; asking special privileges to be accepted and not judged doesn't fly in a reality where people are constantly evaluating ideas. It's not done with some kind of LIBERAL GOAL.

 * 1) Gannett presumably owns the News-Leader, but they do not "produce it's web site", at least not in the sense that they're directly responsible for it's content.
 * 2) The fact they published a letter to the editor does not mean they endorse it's content.
 * 3) Ken, are you so desperate to validate Conservapedia that you're quoting letters to the editor in small city newspapers?
 * Why did Ken finish his post by saying that liberals are unable to find a single factual error in the Conservapedia homosexuality article. Citation needed, Ken! Allen Kemper, who sent that letter to the Missouri newspaper, doesn't sound much like a liberal. After all, he says he has an open mind and all good Conservapedians know that liberals are incapable of opening their minds.--Spud (talk) 12:53, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Launchbooty's Grand Plan
First found this on Pharyngula. It would appear that Terry is the secretary/treasurer of a group who wants to create a "museum" called Creation Science Hall of Fame near Cincinnati based on this website, (which is as far as the project has currently gone). The website itself rides the coattails of legitimate scientists such as Issac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Francis Bacon in an attempt to link Creationism to prominent scientists in the centuries before evolution, or even modern chemistry and geology existed, in order to attempt to tie science to their religious dogma. Hey Newton was also into alchemy and occultism, so I guess that means these also must be legitimate branches of science, amirite? The mind boggles. --BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 16:54, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd go. Just to see crap like this in 3-D -- from a Terry comment on the Galileo page (remember that Galileo had no disagreement with the Church, only with Aristotelian liberals) --
 * And the church mistakenly followed Aristotle when it came to the place of the earth in the cosmos. The earth need not be the center of the universe to be the center of Divine attention. But the Galaxy is likely the center of the universe. We know now that the entire universe rotates about an axis that is not only parallel to but coincident with the axis of rotation of the Galaxy, and in the same direction.
 * He's big on the Milky Way being "the Galaxy" because it's the one God cares about. Cue the Twilight Zone theme. Whoover (talk) 17:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been around for a while without going very far. Largely it seems like some sort of vanity project. <font color=Blue>Генгис silverbrain.png 18:37, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * "We know now that the entire universe rotates about an axis that is not only parallel to but coincident with the axis of rotation of the Galaxy, and in the same direction." We do?  From what I can tell, this notion of the universe spinning is an idea in physics but it is far from seen as definitive in any way.  It was thought that such rotation explained the "Pioneer Anomaly" (until we found out it is just thermal radiation off the Pioneers themselves).  The reason it is thought to be possible is due to the fact the majority of galaxies observed in the night sky towards the "galactic north pole" spin counterclockwise, (research is still being conducted to see if galaxies in the direction of the galactic south pole are spinning clockwise, in either case it still be on a small portion of the observable universe). An interesting idea, however even if it were true, it still wouldn't suggest the universe spins around the Milky Way, which is contrary to Hubble's law.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 18:49, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Wait. When they claim we're in "the galaxy", are we talking young-earth creationists here?  I'm just trying to wrap my head around how they could reconcile our measurements of the universe, and how we make those measurements, with the belief that it's all only a few thousand years old.  I guess it explains the hatred for relativity, at least... Q0 (talk) 01:12, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Creationists have been trying to reconcile the immense distances of the universe with their 6,000 year time frame for quite a while now, it is commonly called the Starlight Problem. Well most creations try to reconcile.  Andy though will simply baulk at any distance written that is greater than 6000 light years from the Earth.  That was my main argument with him when I wrote any astronomy article there, whether it be the Crab Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy, anything that was listed as >6,000 light years was automatically suspect by Il Duce; who than proceed to edit out such distances.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 04:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You got to hand it to Andy. Most would twist, turn, spin, but not Andy, he'll just ram head first into the wall until it finally gives way. --Revolverman (talk) 04:26, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * According to Andy the Starlight Problem is "a bigger problem for atheistic views, because those views cannot accommodate the explanation that some of the light in the sky is show for people on earth." Also, the >6,000 light years is possibly the "distance artwork" of God . Oh Andy, you're a gem. --Night Jaguar (talk) 05:59, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This is the same guy who believe the fact that leaves turn various warm colors in the autumn is sure proof that evolution is wrong because they are aesthetically pleasing for people to look at, which serves no evolutionary purpose; ergo the night sky is beautiful and such beauty would serve no purpose other than to be pleasing to the human eye, so why should those stars and galaxies really be those great distances instead of simply "painted" onto a huge 6000 light year radius black dome for our pleasure?--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 13:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you really meant to type (a)esthetically (beautiful) pleasing and not ascetically (avoiding physical pleasure). <font color=Blue>Генгис silverbrain.png 14:16, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you. Stupid auto-correct :P --BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 15:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's the religious basis for "truthiness." Once you accept that reality is comprised of tricks to test your faith or provide distance artwork, it's a small step to finding valuable alternate realities on your own.  Like building a presidential campaign on Obama's elimination of a welfare work requirement, contrary to any evidence whatsoever.  Or making a convention theme out of, " If your business uses roads or other public infrastructure If you have a business, you didn't build that."  Reality is a canvas on which to paint righteous lessons. Whoover (talk) 20:28, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Karajou
Do you realize that you're siding with the ACLU?

The linked Fox News story mentions the ACLU has gotten involved. Isn't that conservative kryptonite (conservanite?) MDB (the MD is for Maryland, the B is for Bear) 15:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ACLU also fights for gun rights. Conservatives don't like hearing this because it causes their faces to seize up, which can be inconvenient. ONE / TALK 16:04, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Do they? I don't remember that.  Doesn't seem too consistent with their stated position either, depending on what you call gun rights.  Have you any particular case in mind? Phiwum (talk) 17:41, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The ACLU says the right to bear arms is for militias not individuals. They do not fight for gun rights. How could you when Northwest Indiana and Chicago alone have more gun murders in a few weeks than all of Canada and Western Europe in a few years. Murder is not a conservative value but then again Conservapedia doesn't seem to have a problem with Catholics being called "pagans" so I guess I'm not conservative or Christian after all. Nate Keaton (talk) 12:56, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Their stated position is interesting; I hadn't read that. It seems the national organisation acts differently to state chapters of the ACLU, which regularly defend gun rights. In Texas they defended the right of gun owners to keep guns in their cars without being prosecuted for unlawfully carrying guns.

 * I suspect the ACLU are concerned about these laws more for how they will be policed, enforced, and prosecuted. That is they will be used disproportionately against blacks, similar to the selective prosecution for drug posession. Pi 3:14 (talk) 22:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Er, Nate, I understand that Chicago is a pretty violent place, but could you really back up your claim? Do you mean that there was one particularly "few week" period in which the number of gun murders there was more than a few years that of Western Europe and Canada combined?  Do you mean that this regularly happens?  HuffPo reports 228 homicides in Chicago from 1/1 to 6/16/2012.  Supposing that double that occurred in the area you're speaking of, the average per week would be roughly 456 / 27 \approx 17.  Is it really the case that Canada + Western Europe produces fewer than 60 gun murders per year?  (Hint: Canada's recent very low figure for 2010 was 554 murders.  I'll bet the bulk of them occurred with a gun.
 * No offense intended, but I sincerely doubt your claim. I'd be interested if you can back it up. Phiwum (talk) 16:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I was wrong about the several weeks remark. For some reason I thought I heard on the radio that Chicago had that astonishing number of murders. August was a record month but nowhere near what I said. There were 346 murders through the beginning of August this year and the estimate is that 75% were gun murders. So that's 242 and the year isn't up. Just back of the envelope calculations here: for Canada all I could find looking quickly was there were 598 homicides in 2011 and the estimate is that 30%, or 179, were gun murders. So I think over in Chicago they've got about as murders per year as in Canada and Western Europe. Sorry for the mistake there. I don't why I thought I heard that silly number. Nate Nate Keaton (talk) 18:34, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, fair enough. I'm stunned that only 30% of Canadian murders were gun murders.  Well, so we're more efficient than Canadians.  You surely can't fault us for that. Phiwum (talk) 19:08, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I wanna take a quick sidebar here and note that one of the reasons why Europe has low homicide rates (and numbers) is not just that we have stricter gun control laws, but also that we don't have street gangs and with that no gangbanging or territorial conflicts between those (although there are small pockets of Latin American gangs expanding to Spain). --K.

 * Yes, you should explain that. ONE / TALK 17:03, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * A gang is any kind of criminal organization, while a street gang is a gang in an urban setting. Street gangs are dominated by by younger criminals (in contrast to example mafia organisation or biker gangs). Apart from that the difference is largely in style, mafias and biker gangs try to stay under the radar of the police, they don't drive around other neighbourhoods and randomly shoot people they think might be from another gang.
 * Of course saying that there are no gangs in Europe is BS, that's the reason I didn't say that. --K. (talk) 17:30, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

 * "worldwide - 1632: Did people really think in terms of the entire world nearly 400 years ago? Apparently so" -- Given the Magellan 's ships circumnavigated the globe in 1522, over a hundred years earlier, why wouldn't people think in such terms?
 * "fission - 1617: Looks like nuclear fission is not a new idea after all!" -- I love how he implies that people in the 17th century thought about atomic fission and not the general definition of simply splitting anything into two parts.
 * "dinosaur - 1841: surprisingly late date of origin, the term means "terrifying lizard," which raises the question of why its real name of lizard is not used today" - Because dinosaurs are not lizards; thanks for pointing out once again why you should never be taken seriously on the subjects of evolution and biology.

Redundant, but true.
I'm an avid fan of Conservapedia (for humor-related purposes), and I've read on here, and on the Wikipedia talk pages about the IP blackouts.

 * Karajou has a track record of doing exactly that. I think - I may be confusing him with TK. ONE / TALK 17:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This is only a half memory, but I think it was TK who actually got in contact with employers, and Karajou who talked about some kind of legal action (companies letting employees use computers to harass conservapedia or whatever the fuck he thinks is a crime in his crazy head). X Stickman (talk) 21:29, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh yeh, those legal action fantasies of Karajou which he expanded upon on their internal thing were hilarious! You got the impression he thought he would just surprise the court with an "OBJECTION! I actually have here evidence that this person used our wiki to edit information in a trolling fashion!" and the entire court would be shocked and sentence that person to 50 years in guantanamo bay, and Karajou would be hailed as the hero and savior of all. I for one would actually really want to see what would've actually happen.. -GTac (talk) 13:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Been meaning to insert this for sometime because it is revealing. When Ken first announced his Homosexuality and obesity article, he signed the email to the private sysop group, "Ken". So, unless he is a liar (which can get you desysoped and banned at CP), all the sysops know User:Conservative at CP is "Ken".

 * I hope someone there asks what Obama's religion or religious denomination is. I know he looked at the non-denominational Everfree Church but doesn't regularly attend any church.  Of course that doesn't mean he isn't Christian; in fact given by the churches he had visited (Baptist, Episcopal), I would have to say he holds most to Protestant traditions.  Still for Catholic Andy, this is odd (since he could support Catholic Ryan), but I suspect Andy is Catholic only because of family, and not that he really believes Catholic dogma and views; instead I suspect he is much more enamored with Calvinism.--BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 21:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm...
After perusing some archives about CP "in the news", and hearing reactions from Republicans, I have been led to make the following assertion: Conservapedia is the new NAMBLA. Now I don't mean that Conservapedians want man-boy love, I simply mean that if they tried to publicly donate funds to presidential campaign, they'd probably get the envelope returned unopened. No public figure wants anything to do with them, they operate in secret behind closed doors, and they pretty much all around are dispicable. LGBT groups shun NAMBLA as a fringe homosexual group that is not on the same page. NAMBLA's goal was to rewrite the "gay agenda" to have people fighting for abolishing age of consent laws...who else do we know of that wants to rewrite a book of laws...hmmmmmmm

So, I was over at the Shock of Goat chat room today when I was startled by an approach from an individual calling him/her/themselves John316. "John", having pegged me as an atheist in need of salvation, asked me if I was familiar with a particular website. It dawned on me soon after that I might well be communicating with the great man himself! As if to confirm my suspicions he melted away as soon as I asked him if he was in fact Ken.

 * Well, you could, but the Archbishop of Canterbury hasn't had much to do with the Catholic Church for a few years.

 * Ya, the Archbishop of Canterbury is a big deal in the Church of England, and as a result in the wider Anglican Church. The Anglican Church is a catholic church (it claims to be a successor to the original Christian church and that's the relevant meaning of "catholic" in this context), but when people say "the Catholic Church" they usually mean the Roman Catholic Church which doesn't much care what the Archbishop of Canterbury thinks about stuff. 82.69.171.94 (talk) 17:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Mea culpa. Teach me to post on RW before I'm fully awake. Yes, I meant the Anglican Church. Either way, BMOC in major religion who obviously should be taking the time to debate random internet people if they don't want to be chickens hiding in a rabbit hole or some other mixed metaphor. I did actually send him an email though, and got a "we've received your email and will give it all due attention" form letter response form his office. But yes, no debate, therefore coward, and divinity of Christ disproved. Yay. I win. DickTurpis (talk) 23:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Penn Jillette should take time off from doing 15 shows a month at the Rio, a TV show, a daily radio show and podcasts, and his other businesses to debate a rude nobody with no qualifications who has a record of shouting people down and turning their mics off.

RW and CP in August 2012

 * I updated RationalWiki:Active users, Conservapedia:Active users and Active users at Citizendium.

Some Observations:
 * The numbers of editors at both wikis are comparable: 396 at RationalWiki, 322 at Conservapedia
 * However, there are 2.5 as many edits here as over there
 * the number of edits in the main namespace is less than 3,000 at Conservapedia, but nearly 4,500 at RationalWiki - though there is much more vandalism and reverting going on at CP.
 * This August is the August with the fewest edits in the history of Conservapedia, but still - according to Andy Schlafly - the August with the greatest number of unique visitors.

Is there a statute of limitations for beginning action? --  I scariot   Andy Schlafly for Congress 2012! 10:13, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry somehow the other questions didn't register. The speaker is liable. I don't know whether someone publishing and then ratifying would be liable. State courts are courts of "general jurisdiction," meaning they'll hear most any controversy subject to the limits set by statute or the state constitution. Federal courts are courts of "limited jurisdiction," meaning they'll only hear cases of a few types. The relevant one would be "diversity of citizenship," in which parties are from different states and the amount in controversy is greater than $75,000. Got me on whether the amount in controversy requirement would be met in a case like this. So who knows whether this could be in state or federal court. I'd be happy to lecture on subject matter jurisdiction but somehow that seems like too much to peck into this silver fucker when I'm this drunk and nobody really asked.

 * In case anyone's interested, this isn't a huge mystery under New Jersey law. I admittedly didn't spend a lot of time on this research, but it's reasonably on point.
 * In the New Jersey case of Too Much Media, LLC v. Hale, 413 N.J.Super. 135, 993 A.2d 845 (N.J. Super., 2010), a blogger was alleged to have made a number of defamatory statements imputing criminal and fraudulent conduct on individual plaintiffs.
 * There are two separate discussions in the case. The first is largely irrelevant, though sort of interesting in this context since Terry continues asserting that he is a "journalist." The question was whether a blogger is a journalist and can therefore avail herself of New Jersey's state Shield Law to prevent disclosure of her alleged sources. The court noted a number of tests employed around the country and concluded that the defendant was not a "newsperson" for purposes of invoking the Shield Law. Whoever the person is who wrote that vile essay on Terry's site may or may not be a journalist. I don't know how a New Jersey court would hold.
 * The more relevant question was whether imputing criminal and fraudulent conduct on someone in writing, rather than orally, is defamation per se, for which there is no requirement of showing actual pecuniary loss to be able to proceed with suit, or whether the plaintiff must show some actual harm. NJ law considers orally imputing "serious sexual misconduct," as of a kind with the misconduct alleged in Too Much Media under the Restatement (Second) of Torts. The court noted that only certain specifically listed slanderous statements are susceptible of being considered defamation per se. A plaintiff alleging libel statements of exactly the same nature must show some actual harm. Even if she can't show pecuniary loss, she may nevertheless show some other actual harm, such as "impairment of reputation and standing in the community, personal humiliation, and mental anguish and suffering." Id. at 168. Showing damage to reputation in the context of Too Much Media might take the form of third party testimony showing an existing relationship had been seriously disrupted.
 * Note that Massachusetts law considers written defamatory statements accusing someone of serious sexual misconduct as defamation per se for which damages would be presumed. Differences among state law like this are obviously potentially a big deal.
 * It's also important to note that if the plaintiff is a public figure, he must prove that the defendant was motived by "actual malice" and knew the statement was false or recklessly disregarded its falsity. See, Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 350, 94 S.Ct. 2997, 3012 (1974). Sandra Fluke is probably a "public figure" subject to Gertz because she "thrust [herself] into the vortex" of an existing public controversy.
 * In any event, stating "Sandra Fluke sees freedom as having others pay for the condoms her dozens of weekly lovers use to please her" may be an "opinion" subject to some other privilege. I've only dealt with commercial defamation cases in which nobody asserted that a statement was an opinion so I'm not up on that law.
 * @Iscariot: I have no idea what the New Jersey statute of limitations for personal actions like this or whether New Jersey law would even apply. It's a choice of law problem I have no interest in spending any time researching.

Slingcolon flavour humour, Kara officially declaring war on facts and the racist, babykilling DNC
Does anyone else suspect andy and his joyboys are getting a wee bit panicky over the DNC being less facepalmworthy than the Republican one? (forgetting of course the fact they are all supposedly RINOs now)

First of all we have Kara, who is now deciding that facts are liberal, and also condemns the democrats for being racist, and for refering to Jesus and Jerusalem at one point (despite Terry whining about them not having it in their platform barely 2 days beforehand) before pontificating how this will be the deciding factor in the election

Similarly andy lets forth his rage over the DNC allowing planned parenthood to speak there

And finally we have this wonderful example of christian wit as Peltshitter fumes over a single throwaway bit of snark from obama, and links to his boytoy's rant over how family unfriendly the DNC was and how offensive and insulting democrats are being (in an article which happily tries to slutshame Sandra fluke for her evil whorishness among other things)

 * If I had to guess, I would say they realize that Romney has a very real chance of getting completely blown out in this election and they are worried that they will be subjected to four more years of Obama's style of hard-left-wing communism (by which, of course, I mean moderate-to-right-leaning free market capitalism). Carlaugust (talk) 20:06, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not quite so simple. The link in question specifically questions the fact-checking of political beliefs, as opposed to assertions (as in, the free market is good vs. free market policies have improved life for everybody in the past 20 years).  One is a little more difficult to assess as a fact, while the other is more straightforward. -- "Shut up, Brx." 20:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, 538 has moved 14 EV's to Obama's side since Mitt's speech, 4 just overnight. -- Seth Peck (talk) 17:04, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * you forget that God personally steered that cyclone around Florida and aimed it at the sinful city of New Orleans. God must be a republican and favors Mitt Romney, a follower of the angel ? and the Gold tablets of mormonism. Hamster (talk) 20:47, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I do not like any of the "euphemisms" for Dr Hurlbut with the exception of Lobarse, (which I found slightly amusing), since it speaks ill of those engaging in such juvenile name-calling. Matzosphere (talk) 14:50, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Conservative ungrammatics
Can a representative of the "Society for Eliminating Greengrocer's Apostorphe's'" please deal with and finish off the sentence after Alexa; and rearrange the misdirection on Conspiracy theories. 212.85.6.26 (talk) 14:54, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure who this is directed towards. Good-faith users on CP -poor bastards- don't read this page, right? Anyone who corrects this error now will get banned. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 16:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Apostorphe's? <font color=Blue>Генгис silverbrain.png 16:51, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Tangentially related, considering Kendoll's new obsession with Quora, any bets that there'll be a certain number of "I'm an atheist, but I can't answer these 15 question for evolutionists! What denomination of Christian should I become?" type questions posted there? -- 18:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The "hilarious" troll has made more errors than Ken did. Pathetic. Sphincter (talk) 20:34, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming the use of the Greengrocer's apostrophe in the name of the society for eliminating it is intentional snark, a joke some i guess didn't get. DickTurpis (talk) 01:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Something to do with the tradition of British greengrocers adding the unnecessary apostrophe before the 's' in plurals on their chalk price boards, such as "Apple's - £1/lb". Ajkgordon (talk) 12:53, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a worldwide phenomenon. And not limited to transitory signs.  Just up the road is a place that sells "Used Harley's".  That said, the example in question is not a GGA.  It's confusion over how "its" works. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms"> ħ uman  00:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Irony alert: Kendoll sez talk is cheap.
o rly, Kendoll? Considering your question evolution group (Or, you and your imaginary international friends as it is otherwise known) is currently about 0 for 10 or 20 when it comes to actually doing things you've announced you're going to do, I wouldn't be bandying that bit of hackneyed wisdom around quite so freely. Perhaps you ought to release that 100 page booklet you've been wittering on about for months. We could use a good laugh. -- 03:27, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Ken, you tosser. Just because something is stale and boring doesn't mean it's not true.Spud (talk) 03:59, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The hipster teaching one of my new computer classes uses this for word salad. I imagine it's more interesting than whatever these QE pamphlets are supposed to be but nobody's seen one yet so who knows? Nate Keaton (talk) 13:26, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Most amusing. Brenden GregG pasted the link to Talk:Origins, and of course Conservative, who kept asking for evidence and to answer the retarded 15 questions, probably didn't even read the link and called it stale and boring evobabble. So to cement this, he makes a blog post about it, and then plasters it on the main page. Dance for us, Ken, for the puppet strings command it.
