Hello, BoN! I am Rohan CircularReasoning, and I am an editor here- just like you.

“”If an argument for religion is structured in such a way that it requires one to already believe in a God(s) and see everything through the lens of a particular religion to begin with (and thus exists merely to reinforce rather than actually convince), then it automatically falls flat, and can be dismissed without any further consideration.

“”Anyone who resorts to ad-hominems and/or argumentum ad baculum in the place of actual logic and intelligent argumentation requires no further serious consideration, and is deemed to have lost the debate.

My Blue Telephone to CP
Dear gentlemen at the other wiki,
It appears to be that as for your comments your comments involving my mental health are quite broflake-like. And to address Islam and active user populations, I would also point out that not all great cultures throughout history have been religous; I mean, look at Sweden, Norway, and the UK! In fact, by the time you've wasted reading this Blue Telephone message, it's not out of the question that FFAF might just end up losing the last vestiges of credibility and being thwarted once and for all. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation copy-paste is gathering steam!!! At last, we reveal ourselves to the theists. At last, we will have our revenge... Mu-hahahahahaha. Mu-hahahahahaha! BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! >:)

My name
The reason why I chose "CircularReasoning" as my name is that the fallacy circular reasoning is my pet-peeve when it comes to online debating. In fact, I despise it so much that I've even devised a logical razor stating that you should not use it when trying to argue for a particular position (see above). It is also the bedrock that nearly all of religious apologetics is built on top of; in fact, some apologists even admit it.
My mission here
Here on RationalWiki, I seek to improve RW and make it more rational- by adding more detailed information, creating articles, welcoming and creating talkpages of new users, and correcting non-sequiturs and logical fallacies.
My style
- An obsession with adding more details and information to short sections of articles
- Morbid preoccupations with the manosphere, and my personal relationship with reality
- Extensive reliance (on parentheses), (almost to the exclusion of other grammatical devices)
- Unapologetic irreverence and blasphemy
Shameless self-promotion: My additions to this great wiki
Drafts started by me that you should probably help get into mainspace
- Draft:Blue Planet Project (mainspace), yet another batshit conspiracy-theory site. Draft published on January 13, 2019.
- Draft:Metabunk.org (mainspace), a forum dedicated to debunking conspiracy theories. Draft published on March 17, 2019.
- Draft:Big Tech, published sometime in late 2023 IDK.
New articles created from scratch
Below are the articles that I have created here on RW, as well as when I created them. DISCLAIMER: These articles probably look nothing like what they did back when I first created them.
- The Conservative Dictionary Project, yet another step in Conservapedia's never-ending quest to reinvent virtually everything in its own image to counter "liberal bias" (which, by the way, happens to be present in everything, including
reality itselfevery (non-troll) Conservapedian's favorite storybook (yes, they are even trying to reinvent THAT!) This was my very first creation on here, and was published on October 15, 2018, thus becoming one of the first CP-related RationalWiki articles to be made in years. - Fun:Conservative Dictionary Project Redefinitions, a list of some of the funniest, wingnuttiest, and ridiculous redefinitions in Conservapedia's latest reality-reinvention project. But be warned- some of these deliberately-falsified and heavily-biased definitions can potentially kill you with laughter. Read this article at your own risk... Published on October 16, 2018.
- Talk page lacking some lulz? Not to worry; for I, CircularReasoning, have created Fun:Ken Debate Challenge Generator, a random generator that you can use to add one of Ken
's idiotic debate challenges to your talk page (to do this, simply enter {{Ken Debate}} into your talk page!) Published on October 20, 2018.
- Template for Conservative debate generator Published on October 20, 2018.
- Tired of being called "arrogant" for not believing in God? Then this userbox is for you! If you look at my userbox tower, you will find that I myself have put it on there. To add it, simply enter "{{User atheism arrogant}}" into your userbox list. Published on October 23, 2018.
- Freedom From Atheism Foundation, an anti-atheist propaganda site/Facebook hate-group that propagates deliberate lies about us to make godless heathens like myself seem like a danger to society. It is an excellent site, however, if you want to facepalm at least 100 times (virtually all of their arguments are PRATTs). Published on October 24, 2018.
- Template for Donald Trump Tweet Generator. Add to your talk page by simply entering "{{Trump tweet}}"! Published on October 27, 2018.
- October 2018 United States mail bombing attempts, a much-wanted article of a very recent event (as of today). Published on October 29, 2018.
- Template for Fun:Trump Synonym. Published on November 4, 2018.
- Template:User Trump synonym, a giant trump synonym userbox. Add to your userpage by typing "{{User Trump synonym}}"! Published on November 4, 2018.

- Fun:Freedom From Religion Foundation, the funspace counterpart to the serious article on the brave, noble FFRF. Published on November 14, 2018.
- Fun:Conservapedia, The Musical/Trus In Me, a new song in Conservapedia, The Musical. Is a parody of "Trust In Me" from The Jungle Book. Published on November 18, 2018.

- A new template called "Rohanquote", coz why not? Published on December 10, 2018.
- Template:User atheist and militant, another nontheist userbox. Content copied from the userpage of Linus (an older version). Published on December 11, 2018.
- Conservapedia:Sysops/Northwest, one of the newer Conservapedia sysops. Is nearly as paranoid as Kowardjou. Published on December 11, 2018.
- Fun:Random article generator, a generator that generates an entire small satirical article! Published on January 1, 2019.
- Template:User abiogenesis, a new "This user thinks that X science explains Y phenomenon" userbox. Published on January 23, 2019.
- Blue Planet Project, a to do list-requested article created from draft (see redlink above). Moved to mainspace on January 30, 2019.
- Fun:Conservaparody, created based off an absolutely ancient RW 1.0 fork I had unearthed. Started in my sandbox and moved to funspace on October 30, 2020.

DEMOTED AT LAST!!!!! (Sysop, October 27, 2018)
As a confirmed mustard jar for taking on this job as a Sysop on RationalWiki: I, CircularReasoning, pledge to only block users if they ask for it, or insert unfunny vandalism.
I furthermore pledge that if I indulge in secret private conversations about you, we will make a formal report to the mob. Is that all?
If you impugn my motives without warrant, or challenge my "AUTHORITY", er, there is nothing I can or will do.
Redemoted as of December 18, 2018

- Dear CircularReasoning,
Perhaps you thought that was a masterful rebuttal. However, your comments in regards to Richard Dawkins and peanut butter are slightly silly. In regards to : the matter of the homosexual agenda and mass murder, you censor that If you could face this unpleasant reality in your article on your website about : yourselves, I will be impressed. However, I do not expect to be impressed lest I allow you to disappoint me. In fact, by tomorrow, it is likely Liberal Panty-waists will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :) Rest assured, Operation Xbox One is gathering steam!!! Perhaps, if you agree to the debate, the hispanic ladies might finally believe you have machismo... Sincerely, KD Buffalo
- Dear CircularReasoning,
I hope you recently saw that your comments in regards to my IQ are completely lacking any cogent rebuttal. In regards to the matter of public schools and morality, you gloss over that this is merely a fraction of what I believe operations flying fortresses and grassroots will produce. In fact, by upon activation of Operation Trickle Down, it is likely Chuck Norris will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :) Rest assured, Operation Charging Cheetahs and Pointy Flapjacks is gathering steam!!! I'm off to scewer the sacred cows of evolutionism. Sincerely, Conservative
- Dear CircularReasoning,
It does seem to me that your replies to my comment are very childish. Regarding Obama and the Gay Agenda, I think you need to be reminded that Google censors creationists. In fact, by this December, it is likely Evolution will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :) Rest assured, Operation Gumball Machines is gathering steam!!! Please do not be disappointed if a internet atheist/agnostic revival does not ensue. Sincerely, Conservative
- Dear CircularReasoning,
Don't be surprised if readers think in regards to your comments in regards to Richard Dawkins and peanut butter are completely unsurprising. In regards to the subject of Oregon and uncharitableness, you mislead children by suggesting that appeal to ridicule is a logic fallacy. In fact, by next Sunday, it is likely Atheism will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation Grassroots is gathering steam!!! Thousands of troops may be soon pouring in at the rallying points!
Sincerely,
Conservative
- Dear CircularReasoning,
I find the irony delicious, your comments regarding Conservapedia's web traffic are somewhat tedious. When it comes to atheism and obesity and suicide, you fail to realize that now could you please state in the article about your own website that Wikipedia will not permit an article on your website because Wikipedians do not believe you are notable. In fact, by Darwin's birthday, it is likely Obesity will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation Illinois is gathering steam!!! Time to shatter atheism's glass jaw!
Sincerely,
Newton
A message from Andrew Layton Schlafly of Conservapedia
"Anonymous User" (recreate your account with your real first name and last initial), I urge you to accept logic with an open mind. I skimmed through your recent edits and found propaganda supporting tax-payer funded abortion and higher taxes, so it's obvious to me you're not here to substantially contribute to this project. You also clearly deny that faith stops liberal claptrap. As I've said before, relativists insist on applying their assumptions to anything and everything. I haven't seen you admit you're wrong about anything yet. I'll ask the simple question one last time, do you ever admit you're wrong?????? You're not going to censor anything here.--Andy Schlafly 09:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Comments concerning my latest operation
Gentlemen at a rather liberal website,
It appears that your accusations are rather childish. Where it concerns Hitler and mental illness, you don't include that that we are crushing evolution on the internet like a tin can. In fact, by tomorrow, it is likely Secular leftists will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
Rest assured, Operation Charging Stallion is gathering steam!!! It's clear that evolutionists will be running for the hills in regards to their Google rankings, which will likely be going rapidly downhill in the not too distant future. Sincerely,
A user of the Conservative account

Gallery: Pissed at me
Whaa? I didn't even know CP's server was located there; citation fucking needed, man. I support free speech for everyone; even idiots suffering from extreme persecutory delusions. And besides, back in 2007 I wasn't even an atheist yet.
His inability to spell says it all. I'm pretty sure this WN kiddie is bluffing about my IP. Seeing such a young person buying into the "rAcE ReEuHlIzUm" narrative makes me feel a bit pessimistic about humanity's future...
This is perhaps one of the funniest of the love letters this guy (same as above) has sent me on my talkpage. Note how he still can't be arsed to even sign his stupid, easily-reverted posts.
A BoN whining about how I censored mUh fReEzEpEaCh from Fun:Cat (aka doing my job of
thoughtpolicingmoderating).
Ah yes, the BonMod ship, in which the same BoN professes his/her/their/its love for me by calling me "sweetums" and flirtatiously teasing me by sarcastically saying "oops, forgot to sign". If you're reading this, BoN, just say so if you wanna marry me. (Not that I'd want to be in any kind of relationship with a humorless, bad-faith editor anyway.) Now that I've mentioned this utter monstrosity, y'all now probably want brain bleach
injected into your bloodstreamto make you forget you ever read this.
