WP[edit]
Prox, no offence intended but, if you're going to drop unsourced statements on WP, then please use a different user name to here. It casts a bad light on RW by association. Thanks. Toast 13:05, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- Which of my Wikipedia edits don't you like? Proxima Centauri 14:21, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- It might have been the one reverted here? ħuman 15:56, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- Or, wait, perhaps the one reverted here? ħuman 15:57, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- Hmm, actually, it looks like every edit I looked at (over the last day or so) fits the description. ħuman 16:02, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- I don't see any of those casting a bad light on RW by association. She is making those edits on behalf of herself, not on behalf of RationalWiki. wassaiLOId~ 16:18, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- Indeed. I don't think editing under the same user name on different sites will be a foreign concept to most Wikipedians, and I haven't noticed PC or anyone else pretending to be a representative of RW or anything. Also, Human, please try to work a bit on those ol' wp:social_inhibitions, okay? --AKjeldsenCum dissensie 16:25, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- Yeah, we should let Toast come say why he really thinks it's an issue. I could see if twelve of us descended on, say, the CP article and edit-warred as a team that could be an issue, but this is just one person, as said above, editing on her own behalf. And @ AK's last point, hehehe... ħuman 16:45, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- Human's right with his second guess. Adding unreferenced snark about CP struck me as pointing to us & it just annoyed me as it was at least the second time a similar edit had been reverted (last time by HelpJazz!). Most of those identifiable as RW editors are excruciatingly careful to be totally fair - even when it goes against their feelings. Sorry if I wrote out of turn, but I'd probably do something similar again. Toast 17:46, 31 December 2008 (EST)
- I'll take care with the Conservapedia article at Wikipedia in future. Proxima Centauri 03:30, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- I like this website. I'd really like to stay and carry on contributing. I hope I've made useful contributions. I feel I'm being picked on and cyberbullied. Proxima Centauri 12:25, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- I have to agree with you (about the bullying, that is) but I do think that you bring it on yourself to a great extent by making somewhat intemperate edits. I would suggest that you think twice before commenting and remember that others might not have the same sense of humour as you. Toast 12:36, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- I don't think anybody is trying to get rid of you, or intentionally bullying you. Certainly I hope not. As always with online communication, it's easy to misinterpret people & think they're being really mean to you, when it's actually friendly criticism or jokey snark or sometimes just exasperation. People get pissed off with each other sometimes here, as anywhere else, but you are a valued member of this site, as far as I'm concerned. & What you do at other sites is your own business. I think it only becomes an issue here if you're making controversial statements about or on behalf of RW, which is why I opposed you over that thing at Wikiindex a while back. but Wikipedia's Wikipedia: if you make unsourced POV statements there, they'll get reverted, but I don't think it reflects on us unless you bring us into it. weaseLOId~ 13:07, 1 January 2009 (EST) PS. Would you like a hug?

It's not only this. Human's been a bit hypercritical for about a fortnight. I think I need to cut down on editing here. Tensions are building up. There have been suggestions that Radioactive afikomen is after me. Proxima Centauri 13:24, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- Mm. That was the bullying I referred to. You've obviously got very strong opinions on some topics & I think that you should continue to express them. Toast 13:30, 1 January 2009 (EST)
- I still need to cut down on time spent here. SusanG got laughed at because she kept threatening to leave and came back. I need to get involved in other sites so that don't become psychologically dependent on this one. Proxima Centauri 13:50, 1 January 2009 (EST)

Formatting[edit]
Why are the editing tabs and sidebar shrunken on your page, and why do external links look like internal links? Phantom Hoover 09:31, 3 January 2009 (EST)
- I don't know. I think I should archive the page but I don't know how to. Proxima Centauri 12:59, 3 January 2009 (EST)
- I've archived it. There was something on there doing it, a skim(!) didn't find it & the archive's now infected. If there's anything you want back here, just cut & paste it. Toast 13:21, 3 January 2009 (EST)
- I've located & fixed the problem in the archive. It was Wazza's fault - trying to indent a userbox template. De-archive if you want to. ŴêâŝêîôîďMethinks it is a Weasel 13:51, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Privacy[edit]
Unfortunately Rationalwikiwiki doesn’t respect my right to privacy. Some RationalWikians have influence there. Unless this changes I will cut down drastically on my use of both wikis. I’m reluctant to do this but privacy is important. Proxima Centauri 07:17, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- Dare I ask what they've actually done? Is it IDing you as a previous user or one at Liberapedia? ArmondikoVsshole 07:28, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- Surely they can only write what you've placed on the net already? I know I've said things online that I wish I hadn't, but that's my problem. For instance, I got on well with Karajou in his old Wikipedia days (we were adding some reality to wp:Bermuda Triangle), which one user here has since waved in my face. What of it? Unless they're digging out my paypal details it's not a problem. Totnesmartin 08:00, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- It matters because there are Internet safety issues involved. I don't want anti atheist fanatics or other bad people tracking me down. A minority of RationaLwikians are troublesome. Most RationalWikians are decent people. I don't know what the decent majority can do about the minority. Proxima Centauri 10:12, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- Unfortunately, what the decent majority can do about the indecent minority is exactly the same as what the indecent majority often does to the decent minority. You can try and edit out info from RWW but no doubt it'll get reverted and an edit war is just going to draw attention rather let any personal info that does slip out go under the radar. ArmondikoVsshole 10:23, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- PC, I understand where you're coming from--there's stuff on my RWW page that I wish wasn't there, but the fact that it's there is my own damn fault. And to be fair, for any of us to bitch about privacy violations when we do a lot of the same stuff re: Ken de Meyer and Andrew Schlafly, to name two, is kinda hypocritical...TheoryOfPractice 10:53, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- The way to address it is by commenting on the talk page of the relevant article at RWW. Although you shouldn't edit the article about you, you can comment if you think anything in it is unreasonable, & other editors will take it into consideration. Although most RWW editors are also RWians, there is still a boundary between the sites & it's best to discuss issues re RWW content & editing at RWW rather than here at RW. ŴêâŝêîôîďMethinks it is a Weasel 11:15, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- For now I've reverted what I assume are the offending edits. Please discuss it further at Rationalwikiwiki. ŴêâŝêîôîďMethinks it is a Weasel 11:37, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Talking about things over there and showing that I mind can easlily encourage the cyberbullies. It looks like I have to cut down the time I spend here seriously and permanently. It needs to be deleted from the records. Proxima Centauri 11:38, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- You really need to discuss this at RWW. If you don't, somebody (not me) might well put the content that I removed back in. I understand your concern about bullying, & will keep an eye on the discussion, but there's only so much I can do. & I really can't discuss this any more here. I'm sorry. ŴêâŝêîôîďMethinks it is a Weasel 12:45, 5 January 2009 (EST)
More threats. I would like to carry on editing here. I know the decent majority would like me to carry on. It looks like I can't. I certainly can't edit here on a large scale the way I did. Proxima Centauri 14:11, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- That wasn't a threat, & I'm sorry if it sounded like one. I'm also sorry I put that content in (although it was only after discussing with others) & I won't put it back in after reverting it. However, another editor has already indicated that they will unless a strong case is made (at RWW, not here) for keeping it out. That was the point of my last comment. This really is the last I'm going to say about it here. Please discuss further at the other site. Thanks. ŴêâŝêîôîďMethinks it is a Weasel 14:23, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- Out of curiosity, what information are we talking about here? Age, real name, address? Phantom Hoover 12:59, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- Hang on, I remember when I looked at it earlier that it said you had edited under a previous account, the name of which I can't remember. Was that your real name? Phantom Hoover 13:03, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- If that's your issue, then you should know that it's still there on the talk page. Phantom Hoover 13:12, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- I certainly can't edit here on a large scale the way I did. nope-- 'cause there's no way both RW and RWW are going to memory-hole everything in such a way that a curious person won't be able to figure stuff out. Maybe you should cut your losses and register a new name with a new persona and be more careful with personal info next time around. i'm certainly tempted to try that...14:18, 5 January 2009 (EST) TheoryOfPractice 14:56, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- Sadly, that is the only way round it - rip it up and start again. I had to change my email address a couple of years ago, but I hope it doesn't come to that for you, Proxima. Totnesmartin 14:33, 5 January 2009 (EST)
- The problem is, you have a very distinctive writing style: individual statements separated by full stops. Both you and your other account shared this, and if you are trying to start over again, incognito, you should invest heavily in changing it. Phantom Hoover 14:46, 5 January 2009 (EST)

New topic it seems[edit]
I didn’t only have trouble at Rationalwikiwiki. In late December Human became very critical of what I wrote. Other times Human appeared encouraging. It was arbitrary. I tried to sort out any genuine problems with my writing but I suspected this was relevant to the “torturer’s art” of mixing pleasure and pain. I didn’t feel my writing has suddenly changed so all this stressful attention I felt wasn’t needed. I complained. Others joined the hunt to criticize my writing. I moved over to Wikipedia. RationalWikians followed me there and came back here to criticize what I wrote at Wikipedia. I moved over to Liberapedia where users are pleased with what I write. My userpage at Liberapedia was quoted unpleasantly at Rationalwikiwiki. Then I said, “Either this stops or I leave.” I said that because of all the trouble. Rationalwikiwiki was just part of it. It looks like I'm stuck at Liberapedia and other wikis away from here. Proxima Centauri 11:09, 7 January 2009 (EST)
- Wow, Proxima, I have always had trouble with your writing style. It is tiresome to read and poorly constructed. But often, the content is of value. I've been copyediting your work since the Magdalene Laundry thing. When I encouraged you it was for two reasons - one, you writing something I liked, and two, to gently and subtly apologize or make amends for rewriting alomst every sentence you add to the wiki. I'm not sure if your "accusations" are even worthy of comment - I quote from below this box, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly ... then don't submit it here." Anyway, I went to LP while bored, and randomly pulled up a dozen articles and followed some links. Every single article I read had spelling errors, some of them grotesque (Ayrian?????). I also encountered a lot of bad writing. In addition, I also saw with amusement that most of the writing was done by you and a "Barbara Shack" person. Perhaps the reason they "like your writing" on LP is that it's mostly you writing there? If you want to suddenly call me a "torturer" here on RW you might want to make the case clear, instead of mixing it up with a bunch of other wikis and a complaint about privacy violations - on another wiki. Could I have written this differently, gently, and so on? Perhaps. But you will note that you referred to me as a "torturer" and that does not sit well. I think you need to just get over your paranoia and get on with life and whatever you enjoy. PS, no "anti-atheists" have ever tracked me down and harassed me (although I did get an amusing response to the lyrics of "Believe" the other day from a Bible thumper via email), and I am as outspoken as you and far more accessible. Three clicks from here and you have my home address. Please, get over yourself, and perhaps, for all our sake (those of us who appreciate your contributions), take a writing course to expand your sentence style. </rant> Thank you for listening. ħuman 00:33, 8 January 2009 (EST)
- You seem to have something of a persecution complex; anyone who criticizes you is "picking on you" or some other form of unpleasantness. Phantom Hoover 14:59, 9 January 2009 (EST)
hi[edit]
Hi, haven't seen you around much recently, miss you. Refugeetalk page 12:33, 20 January 2009 (EST)
- See the above section. ArmondikoVsshole 14:25, 20 January 2009 (EST)
- I miss this site too. I'm a refugee from the cyberbullies at Rationalwikiwiki and elsewhere. They'll probably punish me for complaining. If I showed you what they did when they followed me to other websites you would stop calling me paranoid. I can't show you because other people are involved as well. I don't know if I can ever come back. Proxima Centauri 14:57, 20 January 2009 (EST)
- I just read all the discussion above, I hadn't read it before I posted my original comment. Sorry to hear of your troubles, hope things get better. I know that it would be a shame to lose all your history of edits, but you could create a new identity, if you want to keep contributing here, and don't want to use this name. ? Refugeetalk page 21:36, 20 January 2009 (EST)
- I can’t create a new identity unless I change my Internet Service Provider. Can you prove that they don’t use checkuser? We have only their word for it. Trusting what they say without evidence isn’t much more rational than trusting the Bible without evidence. They suspected that User:Deer was me after only 3 edits. My writing style isn’t so distinctive. They could tell that as quickly as that without checkuser. I’m active on Liberapedia. I made the mistake of calling myself Proxima Centauri there and at many other places. That’s how they could cause me trouble elsewhere. Proxima Centauri 02:59, 21 January 2009 (EST)
- Er, it is pretty easy to see that we don't use checkuser, simply look under special pages and version, it lists all the extensions. You will not see check user on that list. 216.221.87.112 03:04, 21 January 2009 (EST)
- Please give me a link? Do they turn it on intermitently and turn it off again afterwards? Proxima Centauri 03:09, 21 January 2009 (EST)
- Here, in order for it to work you also need to put people in the user group "check user" which if you check there are no people in check user. The only person that can turn it on or off is me, and I would have no need for it. I have complete access to everything that happens on the site, every page view, every edit, from every user from every IP. On average there are about 100,000 new lines of log text added every 8 hours or so. I mine that data for basic usage statistics and to monitor incoming links. That is about all I would have patience for. To track a single IP through the logs and database would require extraordinary motivation and reason. I think it has occurred twice that I know of. Once in the very beginning of the site involving TK and another time was, believe it or not, in regards to a vandal/troll that had made specific threats against you.tmtoulouse 03:19, 21 January 2009 (EST)

"They suspected that User:Deer was me after only 3 edits. My writing style isn’t so distinctive." Actually, it is. Which doesn't mean someone else might not write in a similar fashion, of course. I would suggest doing the following if you want to create a new identity that won't be instantly IDable as you: before you save a post, or chunk of text in an article, remove approximately 1/2 of the full stops, and replace them with commas or hyphens or words like "and", then make sure the grammar is still good. That would eliminate the biggest cue in your writing style - the series of short, declarative sentences. The second biggest cue is when you write things that assert "behind the scenes" factoids ("Perhaps his momma raised him badly"). If you simply did my first suggestion, I doubt I could figure out it was you in 100 edits, let alone 3. ħuman 15:24, 21 January 2009 (EST)
- I just missed seeing you around Proxima Centauri and wanted to say hi, I didn't know that it would cause all this dialogue - but at least now I know what's been happening with you. I think that posting on wiki's shouldn't be such a source of worry and fear for you, it's meant to be a fun, interesting exchange of ideas and information and a social outlet, and if it is no longer that, maybe you should think about eliminating this source of stress by not doing it anymore. But I know you have a lot to contribute, so I hope that you can instead find a way to bring back the fun of it without the worries. (side note to Human - I'm really impressed by how you are able to analyze someone's style of writing and know who they are - if you figured out who I am - please don't tell! lol) Refugeetalk page 16:08, 21 January 2009 (EST)

Wikiindex[edit]
Why are you saying that RWW contains hurtful gossip on Wikiindex? Are you just continuing with your habit of accusing everyone who criticises you of "bullying"? You also added some silly statements extrapolating temporary downtime as possible permanent shutdown. Phantom Hoover 13:51, 23 January 2009 (EST)
- OMG, Prox! Are you really surprised that people "follow you to other sites" if this is how you deal with your grudges about RW & RWW? This bullying stuff is largely in your own mind, & you have been invited to discuss the RWW issues on the site itself. ŴêâŝêîôîďMethinks it is a Weasel 14:18, 23 January 2009 (EST)

- You warned people about something that already been dealt with, & then the new THC account was created. It hasn't done made any edits & I doubt that it's a genuine sock of the previous vandal.

Hi it's me[edit]
My computer currently blocks wikia, so I can't edit Atheism wiki. I'm kind of new to this wiki, so you can tell me more about it.
NEways, if you're there, I thought of some good articles and other ideas.
One is "Religion as a placebo" which I made up, but IDT that I was the first to come up with it, and am too lazy to do research. Basically is says that prayer may help someone like a placebo pill makes people less depressed by having the brain tell the body to send out chemicals. Since the person has faith, it'll have the same effect, but I didn't do research, so you can expand.
Another thing is we put websites about atheism on out sitenotice, so users may go to those sites to (such as Why Won't God Heal Amputees) and tell about Atheism wiki. Plus we'll like to support them.
Also on the Unintelligent design article, you can source this article and add info from there. Also, add the menstral cycle, that's something a divine creator would definitely not have in mind, lol.
Also, I think that we could make another "Atheism wiki" but give it a neutral POV and make it mostly about atheism and not other religions, like a encyclopedia telling people what atheism is about. It'll attract more people and let them know about atheism without thinking "Z0mg, godless propraganda, AVOID!
Another wiki I had in mind was "un-religion" wiki, like Uncyclopedia makes fun of wikipedia, except this will make fun of religion, like how "Un Club Penguin Wiki" paridies club Penguin and "UnDoll wiki" parodies toys. It'll spoof all the gods from all religions in the wildest way possible, and they'll all exist in the same universe even though their religious text contradict each other (and themselves on occasion). If you know how to make templates, that's great, we could have one for every major religion, with links to gods, holidays, sects, etc. If you don't that's okay, I'll try to find someone who will, hopefully soon.
Respond ASAP, it seems that you haven't edited for over a month.

Omphalos[edit]
I happen to have high hopes for this theory, and I do not believe your edits to the article to have been an improvement. Please either let it be or post a plan of the changes you wish to make on the talk page for other editors to look over. It's not that it isn't ok to make large edits to an article, it's just that some people prefer being able to look such big changes over first. thank you for taking the time to read and reflect on my opinion, even if I'm the only one that holds it.--User:Brxbrx/sig 15:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
I didn't write the material that I put into Omphalos, I transfered it from here. Other users wrote the Omphalos material in this featured article but Weaseloid took some out. If users keep adding to featured articles eventually they become too long and need shortening so I didn't revert Weaseloid's edit, instead I tried to merge the material that was taken out with the Ompalos article which isn't too long. If you don't like it there take it out but remember it was good enough to be in a featured article. Proxima Centauri (talk) 17:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- next time, could I ask you to go to the talk page first? thank you.--User:Brxbrx/sig 17:55, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Here's a link to what I added If it's poor factology why was is in the featured article? Proxima Centauri (talk) 17:57, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm not much interested in Omphalos, I was just interested in preserving material that the RationalWiki community thought had been good enough for a featured article, those who are interested in that article can check the factology. Proxima Centauri (talk) 18:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- (ec- I'll reply to your latest post later, I've video-games to play and also a few engagements) I am not saying it's poor factology. Nor am I discussing the quality of featured articles. I am merely asking that before youo make major revisions to an article, that you please present (I loathe to say writing plan) an outline of what you wish to add. As for my opinion of your edits, I found them to be rather hostile. But that's not what I'm discussing here. I am simply requesting of you to summarize your intentions before you begin editing. Omphalos is on my watchlist, at the very least you can assure yourself that I would respond to any inquiries you make on the talk page. thank you for considering my request.--User:Brxbrx/sig 18:05, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Reverting[edit]
Long time no speak, hope you're well.
I believe Human keeps reverting you because he doesn't like you/your editing skills. If I may venture some advice I'd stay away from the whole "liberals say X" thing in articles like you with this edit, that's more of a LP trait. SJ Debaser 10:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
It looks like I'll have to cut down on editing here again, I never know when there's a real problem with my eidting and when I'm being got at. Proxima Centauri (talk) 11:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Blocking[edit]
The blocking a while back you addressed on my talk page, it appears it was a spam-bot that was mistakenly attributed to some cheerleader by User:Rationalize and User:Colonel Sanders, and was justified. I still don't think they know where it came from.--George (talk) 17:35, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
This was discussed on P-Foster’s talk page and I accept I made a mistake, that user was a bot and bots don’t have feelings. What I sometimes do at Liberapedia is to develop an article that has been vandalised by vandals that know how to evade a block. Showing them that vandalism just makes whatever they don't like get bigger is usually a deterrent and if they go to the trouble of programming a bot to vandalise for them developing that article should really upset them. Proxima Centauri (talk) 07:13, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Blocking to insult, as you did me, is not a good thing. And I am not, nor have I ever been, a moderator. ħuman 09:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Human has been trolling any number of RationalWikians, he’s reverted constructive edits just to troll. If a new user behaved like Human that new user would be in the coop. And it looks like Human has already been on trial, I believe Human accepted nomination as a moderator but the voters chose different people Proxima Centauri (talk) 07:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello there mate. While I am delighted you found me on Iron Chariots, I am curious why my watchlist says you blocked me? Did I do something? I hope not. Or is this just no big deal? Feredir28 (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
It's no big deal, here we block each other for times from 0 x π seconds to 31 seconds when we're being friendly, see my block log for examples and see RationalWiki:Blocking policy. Proxima Centauri (talk) 06:41, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I put a comment up on Ray's "talk" page, about finding a skeleton/framework to organize him around. Since you've done most of that editing, figured I'd let you know. Also, since you know the movies 180, and the Parachute argument, would you be up to a short paragraph summary on Ray's page? I cut the bulk into separate articles, cause they were really long, but I've never seen them, so didn't write a short summary. --Godot
