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 ![]() ![]() |
Fun:Don't edit when drunk
Don't edit when drunk (DEWD) is a good motto for all wiki editors, especially those who are likely to be abrasive when in their cups. Fox is a good example; on the night of 30/31 July 2008 he indulged in a tirade against RationalWiki[1] both on the site itself, and subsequently at Conservapedia[2]. He even offered to engage in fisticuffs — a sure sign of an English squaddy's intoxication. It is not beyond the bounds of credibility to suggest that, in the absence of his female minders, he had turned to the single malt. There have been other instances, but none come immediately to mind (most of SusanG's and Human's edits "after a certain hour", some might be inclined to suggest).
It should be noted that those who repress their personalities by being reasonable for 99% of the time are most likely to flip into irrational behaviour when under Bacchus' influence.
