You don't know fucking jack shit about Mussolini, this place's article prior to my edits was bullshit[edit]
Great to know that RationalWiki is not really rational, but just a site for people to post bullshit. Your fucking opinions about my writing are your fucking opinions. And your reverted article on Mussolini is full of bullshit. Keep your stupid dumbass article on Mussolini that is written by a moron. You guys are just another a mirror twin of Conservapedia, just not religious nuts. — Unsigned, by: 174.93.93.232 / talk / contribs
- It is a fact that those edits are second-rate writing. More to the point, we are not trying to create an encyclopedia, and you removed a lot of what gave the article its distinct RW character.

Deletion[edit]
I don't blame you for it, to be clear. It seems that the users of Rational Wiki would rather be victim blaming toward Holocaust victims then possibly take even the slightest risk of being victim blaming against the people responsible for the genocide. That is very blatantly Nazi sympathetic. It's really sad to see such an attitude here.
I worry about people who think that the people responsible for the rape and murder of millions of people in eastern Europe are bigger victims then the people who they raped and murdered. –Александр(а) (Talk | Contribs | Ragebox) 20:40, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Just fucking stop. Get off your high horse, and stop fucking wrapping yourself in other people's victimhood. Nobody is "victim-blaming Holocaust victims." Nobody involved on that page has "Nazi sympathies." Either you are a petty concern troll, or you are using those words in a way that has nothing to do with what really mean, but there is no way a reasonable person would look at the criticisms of that article and deduce that the people making those criticisms were sympathetic to the Nazis. No way at all. Your article was deleted because it was a piece of over-wrought shit that had no real bearing on what this website is for. Odds are, nobody came to help you out on keeping it because your holier-than-thou, I-am-the-final-arbiter-of-what-is-a-bigot, disagree-with-me-and-you-have-Nazi-sympathies attitude has alienated every last person on the website. Stop it. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 20:46, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- And to be honest, EL, this has been the single biggest problem I've had with things you post. YOu try to show how bad some feminists are to other feminists, but in doing so, you are not actually listening to what any of us are saying about those individuals, why they say what they say, or if we do or do not support them. Then you go onto religion and do the same. If you want people to take you seriously, in saying "this is a good article', you might consider stopping your endless shreaking, "oh look at the victims of the church, therefore hate the church" crap, and listen. Listening to what people are saying about a topic, about bias, about their own views is a wonderful thing.

- I don't think that anyone here is a Nazi sympathizer. In fact, I don't think that many of the people I see doing things that amount to pro Nazi are Nazis or Nazi sympathetic at all. However, ignoring what reputable sources say about the Nazis and proclaiming their views to be "victim blaming" without providing mainstream sources that support that view amounts to acting in a way that supports Nazi views. @Godot That's good advice. I need to try harder to listen to what people say. I did do that on the talk page of the deleted page, though I could have done it better. I worked to address people's concern about being "victim blaming" to Germans by pointing out that it's far more victim blaming to the victims of Nazi genocide to do what they were suggesting. I'm thinking I could have done this better. I still also feel that no one has tried to understand that view. @both I feel bad that these sorts of atrocities happened against Germans, but at the same time I don't want to admit or feel even one shred of sympathy for the people who overwhelmingly supported the worst genocide in history. –Александр(а) (Talk | Contribs | Ragebox) 21:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Unitarian Universalism[edit]
What could it offer an agnostic like me? I've read about it, and it intrigues me.--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 12:28, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
- I think that depends a lot on the congregation in question, so YMMV, but, my experience has been that it offers 1: a forum in which to engage with people who are trying to figure out some of the "big questions" about "Life the Universe and Everything" with an open mind/general curiosity; and 2: an infrastructure through which to put some of the values associated with a broadly liberal approach to those questions into practice, either through work in the community or political activism.
- Unlike going to Catholic church, in UU the responsibility to figure out what you believe and how you're going to live that belief is entirely on you; there's no central creed, just basic guidelines about having an open mind and not being a dick to other people. Fot intelligent, curious and basically rebellious sorts, that's the best you can hope for in a religion. The thing that you have to be wary of is that because it's a religion that defines itself more in terms of what it is not than in terms of what it is, there are guaranteed to be things going on that you really disagree with, and so one has to learn how to focus on what you like and not get too bogged down with stuff you don't. I'm guessing that as a RW regular, like me, you'll have to be artful around some of the more "new-agey" type people you're bound to meet. Also, because UU is so damn ecumenical, there's a real problem, for me anyways, with it being very broad and not too deep. A service one week might deal largely in some Buddhist ideas and then the next week the service may be rooted more in Jewish thought. I'm an academic, and I tend to study one thing very closely for a long time, so that is really frustrating to me. That's why the middle-of-the-week reading groups, etc. can sometimes be a more satisfying intellectual experiemnce than the services. If you live in a bigger city on the east coast (I'm assuming you're a US-American), you might be able to check out a few congregations to find a better fit -- but, like I said, by its nature, UU cannot be a perfect fit for anybody.

- Cool. I got halfway through Jerusalem about a year ago & left off for whatever reason. Should probably give it another shot. Щєазєюіδ
Vandalize your own wiki?[edit]
I have no idea why you are vandalizing the subject lines I entered: http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AObama_citizenship_denial&diff=1257571&oldid=1257568
It is especially bad because you are apparently a sysop. Are inmates running the place? Why would you vandalize your own work?
Anyway, I've added several more aspects of the conspiracy to cover. I don't exactly know how to make fixes. I suspect there are reasonable explanations, but I've at least pointed out problems which is a start. KevinBerner (talk) 18:12, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- That's not "vandalism," pinhead. It's me having fun at the expense of a moron. There is no "conspiracy to cover," and any edits you make to mainspace are likely to get reverted within minutes. Any edits you make to talk pages are likely to be met with scorn and ridicule. Welcome aboard, dummy. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 18:18, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Seems like vandalism to me. Maybe we can get a second opinion. How do I go about doing that? I'm not going to make any edits to the main page anymore. If the overseer is crazy, then it isn't worth spending time to try to improve anything. Of course there is a conspiracy to cover. The article we are talking about has the word conspiracy in the name. BTW, just making insults doesn't work as well when you don't also point out flaws in what someone writes. See how I did it: First I pointed out your vandalism, and then I used it to show you are crazy. You call me a moron, etc., but you've yet to point out a mistake in what I've written. You don't really understand how to propertly ridicule. Don't waste your tiny brain trying to demonize me, you are just some random idiot on the Internet with more power than sense and so it doesn't bother me what you think.

- "but you've yet to point out a mistake in what I've written." 1. You cited Brietbart as a source; 2. You confuse our title's use of the word "conspiracy," which is meant to debunk the foul bullshit perpetrated by folks like you, with an actually-existing conspiracy; 3.You insisted that there was a "conspiracy to cover" re: where Obama was born, when there is no doubt to any reasonable man that he was born in Hawai'i. Anything else? PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 19:22, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Kevin, what my esteemed colleague meant to say earlier was that RationalWiki uses something almost completely but not quite unlike the "Bold, Revert, Discuss" process found on the other liberally-biased wiki, the big one. Look it up. You've shown an interest in birtherism and libertarianism here, and expressed it in ways that make you look like a concern troll. That aroma does not play well here.
