2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' 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.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Category talk:Insufferable assholes

From RationalWiki

Delete?[edit]

Looks like a joke category from a different era. Since pretty much all of these people are covered by wingnuttery, moonbattery or batshit crazy, I vote that this category go the way of "We're On A Mission From God" and "Stiffs". Balaam (talk) 17:15, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Wingnuttery et al covers people who are likely insane -if they weren't so awful, I'd pity them, anyway. We should have a category of people that should know better -cynical fucks and people who have more power than decency. I'm not sure if this would cover it. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 17:24, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Keep some people are sane and are still Insufferable ...holes. Proxima Centauri (talk) 17:47, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Ditto Balaam. @Gatsby: Category:Enablers might work there. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 17:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Some of these guys are "insufferable" (Ray Comfort) and some of them are "assholes" (Thunderf00t) but relatively few are really both. I don't think we'd lose much by depreciating this category and getting rid of it. Scarlet A.pngd hominemModerator 17:58, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Okay, if we do have such a category as enablers, then I vote to delete Category:Insufferable Assholes. — Unsigned, by: TheLateGatsby / talk / contribs
D'oh. I hate when I do that. Marked it. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 18:13, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Fuck no, this category should've been kept because these people, like Michele Bachmann, truly are insufferable assholes. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 01:24, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I'm an insufferable asshole and deleting this category will severely hamper the ability for people to seek me out. Acei9 01:37, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Then make it a user cat and be done with it. ТyJFBAA 01:45, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

soooooo a year + later... Tyrannisan iron, yet caring fist 00:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this category should be removed - it's useful and it's funny. Although I would like to see people like Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Tucker Carlson and Seagulls, the assholes among birds added to the list. --Jojobaplant (talk) 21:48, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
