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 seeing this today donates $5, we will 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: $2900Goal: $6000

Hi Peter, I'm lamenting the fact that you either weren't nominated for moderatorship, or refused the nomination. It's a tragic turn of events. Don't think your geniality and easy-going nature will remain unpunished for long (I have a theory about power and corruption that I want to test). I'm also lamenting your horrible choice of "endorsement"; although I guess somebody needed to fill the cavernous vacuum left by the non-appearance of 'Cretinous Incompetent' who was my favourite candidate at the last election.

I was nominated by Brx, as a matter of fact (see a few threads down), and that may have had an impact on my rejection.

More importantly, as I said, my evil plan has experienced a few delays over the past six months and wont be ready until October at the very earliest, so running now seems like bit of a waste of effort, you know?

The prophecies have come to fruition. At least partly...

Well, my evil plan was certainly derailed for one. I'm at a bit of a loss now, you know...
