RationalWiki talk:Leaving and never coming back
I'm pretty sure I have done this more than anyone... Bohdan 11:33, 14 December 2007 (EST)
- But they like you. Lurker 14:51, 14 December 2007 (EST)
- Haha... I think one requirement is to actually "say you're leaving forever" or some such. But anyway, I'm going to make the article a little more general and less mean to individuals... human

What was wrong with "whinge"? It's a great word. Researcher 16:20, 14 December 2007 (EST)
- Oh, so it is indeed. I'll change it back. human

- I've removed the personal references as it's a bit of a confusing in joke to new users and I don't think they're necessary.— Unsigned, by: Bob M / talk / contribs
- Yeah, ok. Although the Bohdan reference would at least inform people of our weird relationship with him. (I have seen it confuse newer users). Your edit, after consideration, looks fine to me. human

I am seeing little relevance other than 2007 cruft. Evil fascistoh noez 21:32, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- No relevance to RationalWiki at all.

- Happens here a lot but I don't see the need for an article. How about a move to RWspace? SophieWilder 19:28, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Not sure where else to put this[edit]
Can we adapt this essay from the other wiki? RW is a comparatively smaller site, but I believe it holds true. --TheLateGatsby (The end of the dock ) 14:45, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Except that RW is a gazillion times smaller than WP, and that "a few good editors" leaving has real and measurable impact. Carpetsmoker (talk) 02:02, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
Rewriting this page[edit]
It’s riddled with poorly aged snark and mean spirited writing, some people have legitimate reasons for leaving and we’re at a point where we need more empathy, not mockery, towards other people. I suggest rewriting this whole article. We need brain! Give us brain! 17:17, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think you've properly gotten the tone of this article. It's about people who threaten to leave, yet don't leave, or who make a massive drama over leaving. There have been so many examples of this over the years. It's not about people who have fair reasons to go, say so in a reasonable way or just leave.
- You seem to be of the idea that this webpage has users with the capacity for empathy, encouraging sensibility, community spirit and good will. It doesn't and hasn't for a long time. The few agreeable people on the site are drowned out by the large number of massive assholes and the general hostile and adversarial atmosphere in the bar. ShabiDOO 21:39, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
