Your welcome to RationalWiki is lukewarm at best, Lunacy. This observation is due to the nature of your initial edits. Pull up a goat and try not to make trouble. We realize it is possible that you do not understand the nature of the site or our objectives. Please see our guide for newcomers and our community standards to clarify things for you. If you're still interested in contributing, please see what our articles are intended to be.

I can, however, extract solace from the fact that my "desk job" is actually very rewarding, enjoyable, and pays probably more than twice the amount of money you will ever make in your lifetime. But don't worry, I hear trolling minor communities on the internet is great for relieving pent-up job stress. --The Emperor _{Kneel before Zod!} 22:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Is that really the best you could come up with? That was very poor. I'm getting to the stage that I'm embarressed for you.

Is no-one willing to stand up to the double standards of this place? Does no-one have a dick or *SHOCKHORROR* A mind of their own here? Lunacy 14:14, 23 September 2009 (UTC) And P.S- Please don't have the bare faced cheek to call anyone else a troll. Just don't. This is one of the reasons why you people are so vacuous. Lunacy 14:18, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I can. Please cite your specific claims made and we'll deal with them. So far you just seem to be on an anti-RW binge that could be applied anywhere by just changing the name with very little actual content or accusations. ^gnostic 14:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I mean, are you even banned? You're not blocked and not in the bin that I can find. ^gnostic 14:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Please don't be obtuse. I don't do factfinding missions, I lurk and I read and 9 out of 10 of the posts made here are of a juvenile nature. I'll not provide citations because I don't keep a 'grief' list of edits. I'm not that sad. There's a good reason why the intellectual heavyweights have long abandoned this place. You can delude yourself all you want, but these are the facts. Lunacy 14:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I am MarcusCicero. Lunacy 14:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Well if you can't point out to specific examples where the people you've named are being arseholes (would you like me to do it for you, it won't take long?) then you have no right to call such accusations "facts". So if you can't be constructive (I don't follow the drama, really, it doesn't interest me in the slightest), then how can the better parts of RW work to eliminate the things causing you grief? Are you just worried about the increasingly small contingent of the website that still deals with Conservapedia, perhaps? ^gnostic 14:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

WIGO is incredibly personal and nasty to real life people.

Every aspect of this website is geared towards irrational hatred of people based on their religious or political beliefs.

I don't know how many times I've read somebody say Phillip was a 'retard' or an 'imbecile' etc. Despite him being the perfect picture of Christian courtesy.

The humour is childish and boring.

There are a certain number of people here who love fake internet authority as it gives meaning to their otherwise geekish and dull lives.

Any intellectual discussions that might happen absolutely reek of needless polemics aimed at the right wing. This website is a wingnut hub (Though it barely even qualifies as that anymore, since most posts seem to revolve around the use of some internet meme)

The majority of you have too much certainty about your own opinions, despite being demonstably ignorant and hypocritical constantly (In an old thread 'what is wrong with being gay' I admitted I was wrong in my opinion and that the userbase here had brought me round to a more liberal point of view. I have NEVER read of anyone here publically back down from a position after being confronted with a superior argument.)

Thats just a snippet and all I have energy for right now. This isn't a court of law. I'm not looking to persuade you. But do you not think it is hypocritical to ban me when all I do is basically mimic what you guys do to over a third of the US population constantly? Lunacy 14:33, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

"You guys" don't do anything. Everyone has their own point of view and is responsible for their own actions. Mimicing behaviour that you don't like achieves nothing. JoeDuffy 14:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

(EC)::I just mostly object to the "you guys" bit as you're really just focusing on a handful of people are just obsessed with the Conseravpedia aspect of RW (they will grow out of it), which is dwindling and you're then tarring some of the truly good contributers who aren't 12. Although the name-calling is often uncalled for, you have to admit, we have seen these people do incredibly idiotic things. If you're not impressed with WIGO entries calling people "retards" then feel free to edit them to something less personal, I'd be behind that certainly. But if it's just talk-page comments, then it's hardly the fault of the site as an entity per se, but just people's opinions. And yes, people can be arseholes, good for noticing. ^gnostic 14:49, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I have no interest in reforming anyones behaviour. In some ways I quite like the insults. But its the hypocrisy which annoys me. Its the same people who object to people insulting them who banned me. (Jeeves is the classic example - an unrepentable deviant) At least I have the balls to tell them exactly how little I think of them on their own userpage. Lunacy 14:57, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

If you hate this place, why keep coming back? why not take up gardening or evening classes or something? If all you do is hang about an obscure website telling people you don't like them then maybe you need to look at yourself. Totnesmartin 20:16, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I come back because I find the hypocrisy and the grandstanding in itself to be of interest. Lunacy 10:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Correction: I backed down from my stance regarding illegal immigration after re-reading the arguments. I also changed my views on abortion somewhat over time, due to arguments from both sides (I sit in the before the end of trimester one, away from my original "Fetus Is Teh Person From Conception" stance). However, I do understand the point you are trying to make. I express skepticism that your indigination over WIGO will ever result in it being deleted. (and perhaps I somewhat agree that intellectual discussions are out the window a bit, it has been a while since an essay was posted that made me think (aside from the abortion one from Earthland).

Don't revert me on other users talk pages, it's not your business. And yes, I'm incredibly immature. I enjoy it. SJ ^Debaser 22:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Your talk page

is not your property. -- Nx / talk 10:39, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Please stop removing comments from your talk page, otherwise I will put you in the vandal bin. -- Nx / talk 10:53, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Nx is quite right. You have (almost) complete control over your userpage. The associated talk page is not under your control and comments should not be removed.--Bob^{Not Jim} 10:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Why on earth do you let little shites like Theemperor get away with it then? I don't know how many times I've seen him revert edits. You're all hypocrites. Lunacy 11:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually I've never seen him do it. But I don't usually read other people's talk pages that much. The revisions to this one caught my eye. If you see it then point it out.--Bob^{Not Jim} 11:06, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

He's talking about these: [1] [2] -- Nx / talk 11:22, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Mmmm. Maybe we should make an addition to community standards to allow the removal of gross personal abuse - or something of that nature. Let's have a look at community standards to see if there is anything already there.--Bob^{Not Jim} 11:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I thought there was, but I couldn't find it. Although I prefer not having rigid rules and instead using common sense, it makes the guideline an easy target for trolls like MC. -- Nx / talk 11:29, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

The community standards says "patently offensive material" shouldn't be on user pages, newcomers' guide says that "obscenity, slander or racism" shouldn't be on user pages. Nothing about talk pages though. I think it should be clarified.--Bob^{Not Jim} 11:36, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Stop calling me a troll.

Theemperor is infamous for his reversions. Reverting edits on his talk page are OK when I call him names, I expect no different. But when he reverts RobS parting shot and other things such as edits on Aces talk page HE CROSSES A MOTHERFUCKING LINE. He gets away with it because he plays your childish games. I don't because geeks like Nx like to call me a troll. Lunacy 12:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

His reversions were reverted. -- Nx / talk 12:55, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Damn Cough Syrup

Hey MC, you said "A mate of mine took some and it triggered his underlying Bipolar condition" and it reminded me of a friend of mine who was always kinda twitchy but took too many E's + amphetamine and it triggered a complete psychotic episode in him. But it wasn't the drug per se. Some people have the ability to absorb that sort of thing and get on with life, however some are just prone to having their minds be on the wire edge which means any sort of artificially induced high is enough to push them over the threashold. I don't think drugs are the problem, I like LSD, I think its knowing whether or not you are the type to handle them. Ace McWicked^{Currently Lurking.....} 11:13, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not a drug fascist, I've dabbled myself before (Though I've kicked everything but booze on the head, I realised at some stage last year that I don't like myself when I'm stoned on weed or messed up on pills) I've never tried LSD though I was extremely tempted once. Amphetimine is known to induce pyschosis in people who don't have any underlying mental health problems, so thats one drug I'd stay well away from.

All the same, fair play to you if you can take this stuff and come out the other side. I have a habit of thinking in circular ways and tend to get a little anxious when even on weed so I don't think LSD is for me. I do enough introspection without the help of that stuff. The problem is that people have no idea what effect the drug will have on them until they take it. And at that stage its too late.

P.S- I should probably also add, since we're on the topic of mental health, that my messing around with my supposed 'mental disorder' some months back was more than just out of order. It was wrong. So sorry about that. Lunacy 14:56, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah your mental disorder crap was kinda out of line because, the reality of it is, there are people out there that dont have the choice. Personally, I have cut most of that shit out of diet, except for rare and special occasions. Not due to health issues but more because I just grew out of it and it's not fun anymore to stay awake for 3 days. Ace McWicked^{Currently Lurking.....} 21:43, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Tell me about it. Cocaine is nasty shit. Lunacy 21:52, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Coke is far to expensive down here. Otherwise......well lets put it this way, I had a fucking hell of a good time when traveling through South America. Ace McWicked^{Currently Lurking.....} 21:56, 25 September 2009 (UTC) (for some reason I am always getting my "Too" and "to" mixed up. It is happening with increased frequency. Parasite on the brain perhaps.) Ace McWicked^{Currently Lurking.....} 21:58, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Is this it?

Is turning up and whining all you can do? Totnesmartin 10:59, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
