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. |

Category talk:Bullshit
While it is often funny, I think we should reduce use of this category, we are already reducing use of the template. Thoughts, accusations, comments? ТyTalk. 03:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- What, exactly, qualifies as bullshit? I like it for cheap rhetorical techniques (like JAQing off) and general corruption (ratfucking), but some stuff could go (deregulation?) and maybe we could take people out of the category entirely. But we need to define bullshit better.

The way of Insufferable assholes and Batshit crazy[edit]
This category falls squarely as useless as Category:Insufferable assholes (see AfD) and Category:Batshit crazy (see AfD), but it's a little more elaborate, being pretty decorated and has sub-categories nested in there (though Category:Bullshit-related stubs has only two members. I'd advocate for deleting this). Everything is a messy conglomeration of tangentially related topics (related only because they're missional basically). I haven't done the AfD yet because there's one existing right now, but once I get it rolling, I'll use that post as a reason. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 02:24, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
