RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $3220Goal: $6000

Man, I've just about had enough. Especially after that shit Human gave me at the LJ election talk page tonight.

I'm definitely not the Leave And Never Come Back type, don't think I've ever threatened it once. But this mess has me ready to hang up the Retired sign. Not a good feeling at all.

Why should you leave? You're not the one with the problem.

I'm just feeling way too stressed over all this, and getting shit on for something I think is reasonable and obvious isn't my idea of fun. I like this place a lot, but I dunno if it's worth being in tears over.

You know, you're right. Obviously it's your prerogative if you want to leave, and I really can't blame you for wanting to. This place has been pretty ugly lately. I was just pointing out that you have every right to stay and fight if you want to. You're not alone in this dispute, even if you're the only one in the currently active thread.

Yeah, I do understand that. And I hate the idea of leaving the other people on "my side" hanging, especially after a couple of days of lovely reasonable discussion about Blue's suggestion. I dunno, I'm not deciding anything tonight, regardless, I just hate that I'm even in the position of thinking about it at all.

I for one know how it is to have one or two people make you want to LANCB, as a matter of fact it happened several months ago. But though I sympathize, I think it would be counterproductive to leave at such a critical time. For the first time in my three years here, reform has momentum.

It can certainly be stressful, especially when motives are questioned and insults are hurled. I try not to lose sight of my original point, and if it gets to be too much, just take a breather.

Pink said a lot of good things. ^_^
