Pidgeonhole[edit]
After her last post, I am tempted to pidgeonhole her in the "all balls, no brains" category. Actually, no, I don't think that she's stupid, just... hyperbolic? Ranty? I can't compose a proper description at the moment. The prostitution episode showed a certain cluelessness. In all cases, an example of the fact that "atheist" does not necessarily mean "rationalist" (for the lack of a better word).--ZooGuard (talk) 17:40, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- There's certainly a lot of anger in her writing, which isn't surprising considering her background. I agree that this post is simplistic (not to mention preaching to the converted), but I wouldn't say her general approach is less valid than the snarky and (let's face it) somewhat smug tone used by a lot of other atheist websters, ourselves included.
- She reminds me a lot of Maryam Namazie, who also combines a hardline anti-religion stance with hardline feminism. Interestingly they're both apostates from Muslim countries. Balaam (talk) 18:43, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
DMCA blanking[edit]
Per Linode rules, we have to remove the content while this is sorted out. So I've blanked and protected it in the meantime.
I sent full details to Trent, who can send the counternotice.
The site the notice claims we're copying is https://news-protocol.blogspot.com/2013/08/taslima-nasrin.html - and that entire domain has no content visible in the Internet Archive before 28 July 2022. Note that it appears to be a spam blog, full of content from other sites hidden behind CSS. - David Gerard (talk) 21:23, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- What? There's no way that site isn't a spam blog, they copied even the navbar, links back to RW included xD Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 21:26, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- @David Gerard, it does seem unlikely that this could be a legitimate DMCA request since: 1) Google shows no sites matching excerpts of the text removed from RW. 2) The webpage you cite above now just shows a generic news feed. 3) The website is primarily in the Bengali language, so it's likely someone tried a bogus DMCA just because they didn't like our content.

- Hmmmm, sounds like somebody is pissed at us! --Luigifan18 (talk) 04:12, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- oh yeah, this is a very simple and obvious DMCA fraud. Trouble is getting action on it - David Gerard (talk) 08:53, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
