RationalWiki:What is going on at ASK?/August 2009

August 2009

During the Exodus, RW members display a user box detailing their views on creationism. PJR and LowKey completely fly off the handle: the text is offensive, the graphic is offensive, and "'Magic man done it' isn't science" is somehow a straw-man argument.

Hang on, weren't you on vacation?

PJR comes out and tells Ken to stop his link spamming. Well, not directly, you have to follow the link first. Update: Ken sees the note... and two minutes later announces that he never intended to do more than linkspamming and now has no more reason to stay an indefinite vacation.

Publius lays in to the "influence of evolution" tripe & Bradley promises a ban. Moer: Bradley demands that Publius does as he's told & gives him a 1 second ban. Ironically it appears on Rc immediately after an edit by GregL to "Authoritarianism" which includes the sentence: "* Lack of democratic participation in policy making."

Don't worry, citizens! Ken is on the case!

It's official. KenLopezative can't tell Darler and Hitwin apart. He's done brainwashed himself!

Jeeves makes an heroic effort to convince PJR that creationism is not science. PJR responds: It is demonstrably false that creationists start with a fixed conclusion.

To channel Arthur Carlson of WKRP - "as God as my witness, I too thought Ken was going somewhere else with this."

In an obvious cry for help, Ken Ruylopez announces he plans to kill himself with work. Dude, back away. Even worse, he's threatening to end his boycott of RationalWiki!

As PJR's arguments in favour of God's existence continue to dig below the bottom of the barrel, A.Fox decides to give it a scrape as he goes by. UPDATE: PJR does not like even the implication of swearing on his nice clean Wiki, and he is not fond of "Ed-style links" either.

PJR (an Australian!) deletes "bloody". I thought it was a compulsory part of every Strine sentence.

Consistency? We don't need no stinkin' consistency; with God all things are possible!

"Remove silly response from a banned user, further reply re 'evolutionist'." Phillip twists in the wind when people find his use of language "offensive". Follow the diffs, it's always fun.

and so it begins Censoring a whole reasoned argument because of one word: "pet".

Touche.
