Conservapedia:Parthian shot/Porthos

This Conservapedia-related article is of largely historical interest and is no longer the focus of RationalWiki today. Conservapedia (and religious fundamentalism to an extent) was a major focal point in the early history of RationalWiki, but long ago ceased coming up with new ways to appall and amuse. Our energies are now spent debunking other, fresher examples of pseudoscientific claims, authoritarianism, and deceit. For RationalWiki's less ancient content, try the Best of RationalWiki.

I'm Done

I have tried to be a productive contributor to this project, but I just read the straw that broke the camel's back. The main page (and its author) have the audacity to claim that the murder of Matthew Shepard was not motivated by hatred of gay people. What?! Are you honestly that obtuse?

This wiki is the most ignorant, unscientific, biased, spun, derogatory and shameful pretender to the cause of human knowledge that I have ever encountered. You people are poisoning the minds of children with falsehoods and lies. You present fables and mythology as facts and ignore any credible or rational information that contradicts your fabricated "reality". You exist in a bubble that you are only able to maintain by hawkishly censoring information that does not conform to your naive world view.

It is abundantly clear to me that this project has no interest in furthering the cause of human knowledge. You do not seek new information about reality. You seek to reinforce (in whatever feeble manner you can) the reality you want to exist. In the world of academia, this wiki is akin to a child who cannot cope with an unpleasant situation and responds by sticking his fingers in his ears, closing his eyes tight, and humming while slowly rocking back and forth. You believe that by denying reality, you can somehow make it go away.

I will no longer be contributing to this wiki. I will content myself to sit back and observe while laughing at the ridiculous statements and manufactured "truths" you so blindly adhere to. You can rest assured that I, and others, will voraciously monitor your dangerous activities on this site and post them for an intelligent audience on [censored], under my username [censored] (which also happened to be my original username on this wiki before it was banned).

You are not fooling anyone. Your page views rise steadily, but I assure you that the majority of those page views are people who come to stare at your articles in disbelief while thinking to themselves, "They can't be serious!" I weep for the children whose lives you are ruining with this disgrace. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Goodbye.--Porthos 15:44, 27 September 2007 (EDT
