This will be a user subpage with links to all my posts to RichardDawkins.net. By an amazing coincidence, my username over there is Teratornis too. If your desire to read my stuff over there is so strong you can't wait for me to list it properly, you can Google for some of it. And then I urge you to seek help.

2007[edit]

This is a lightly annotated list of links to my comments on RichardDawkins.net, sorted by the date of my first comment, and group by article comment thread. I only include links to my comments; you can scroll through the comment threads to see comments by others. I might eventually transcribe some of my comments to RationalWiki if that seems sensible to me.

  • 12:27, 13 October 2007 (EDT): even though I only started posting on RichardDawkins.net in September, 2007, my Hypergraphia has already made it challenging to find and annotate all my postings there. So the following list is not complete yet.

We Few, We Happy Few, We Band of Brothers[edit]

  • We Few, We Happy Few, We Band of Brothers by Andy Thomson, Richard Dawkins Foundation
    • I have not posted any comments to this article (actually, it's a video presentation), but the topic is quite interesting, and Andy Thomson is the first bona fide evolutionary psychologist I've seen featured on RichardDawkins.net (which is not to say there haven't been others; I have yet to plow through the entire site content).

A new website addition: Debate Points[edit]

  • A new website addition: Debate Points
    • Comment #81353 by Teratornis on October 24, 2007 at 4:05 pm
      • I suggested that this feature for the RDF Web site cries out to be wikified. Essentially the RDF site admin wants to collaboratively edit pages describing the debate points and responses to them that routinely arise in debates about atheism/theism, and creation/evolution. I don't think the forum/blogging-type software that the RDF site uses is anywhere near optimal for this kind of collaborative editing project. At best, they will end up with long threads of disorganized comments (like talk pages on a wiki), but without the distilled final result (like articles on a wiki).

Technical complaints about RichardDawkins.net[edit]

It took me some time to notice a way to list my posts on RichardDawkins.net:

Actually the site uses the term "comment" for comments to articles, which is all I have posted there so far, and the term "post" for forum posts (of which I have zero). I'm still new over there. I think they use phpBB or something. Whatever software they use, I'm not very good with it yet, and I'm not sure where they hide the detailed online help (if any exists beyond one very terse page of editing help). In my observation, everything which is not a wiki tends to suck, because only on a wiki can users themselves fix the problems they find, and document how they do things. I have never seen a Web site in which distant unseen administrators defend the interests of users as well as users can (that is, users who are not lusers).
