Welcome! Grab a goat! -- מְתֻרְגְּמָן וִיקִי ^{שְׁלֹום!}

Thanks! -- I grabbed a goat! LOL

As far as I know ...

... that makes three: kels, me and thee. Quite possibly though there are hundreds of us - keeping quiet. Anyhow, welcome. Keep^{out of sight} 19:38, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Sadly, there are always too few of us among the geeks. Be it policy geeks, science geeks, or the more traditional type. --Kels 19:57, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Now Kels there knows stuff.

Me, I tend to hang around 'recent changes', lurking, or adding total rubbish to ACD. My main trouble is that I haven't got the patience (or the knowledge, or the debating skills, or the tolerance of rank stupidity) to argue with CREATIONISTS, FUNDAMENTALISTS, BIGOTS and/or SCIENCE DENIERS, but it's fun watching others do it. (And it's probably as good an education as Andy's classes) Keep^{out of sight} 20:16, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

PS: whatever you do, don't spray paint any goats or do anything else to one, round here that's a capital offence.Keep^{out of sight}

No spray painting goats, you may however "Paint" them with barbecue sauce, and slow roast them for a few hours...... _Eye See ^You 20:53, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

P.S. We value most anything, so feel free to jump in anytime, perhaps pwn a few pages.....

Thanks for the welcomes! I can't even figure out how to get a cool signature, let alone pwn anyone yet, lol. Total wikistyle newbie here, I can edit, but that's about it... CP Refugee 02:59, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

HOW TO:

Wiki Sig:

• in my preferences

• Check: Raw signatures (without automatic link)

• In Nickname: type in your wikirefs & wikisigs in this format:

[[User:CP_Refugee|Refugee]][[User_Talk:CP_Refugee|^{Alms for the love of ....}]]

Note:User name is case sensitive, replace spaces in user name with 'underscore' ( _ )

• save - done

Test it here (do a ~~~, use preview button & cancel ) It should look like this:

Refugee^{Alms for the love of ....}

OK? Keep ^{on wiping until it's clean »} 10:32, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

Ok! Let's give it a try.... testing... Refugee^{testing some words here ...}

Looks good - thanks SusanG! whew, that was hard work, lol. When I recover maybe I can try to figure out how to make it different colors or smaller or something. Refugee^{talk page}

testing colors...? ? ? Refugee^{talk page} 17:01, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

I've put you a test are to play in:User_talk:CP_Refugee/test_area

Hi refugee, you can take credit for inspiring the RW help pages (the ones I made anyway). Or not. Susan^{talk to me} 20:40, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

LOL, Glad I inspired you - I need all the help I can get! hehehe... :-) Refugee^{talk page}

staying logged in

"I guess if I browse pages too long, it logs me out without me knowing" if when you log in, you check the box that says "remember me on this computer" you won't get logged out. hth, human^{be in} 22:09, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

'til you log in from a difffferent IP. Like when I cross to another gprs node Damnit. Susan^{talk to me} 22:15, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

I don't think I should because sometimes I log in from the school library computer lab, sometimes from the student union or math computer lab, sometimes at home, sometimes on my roommates computer. If I check "remember me", then anyone using one of the computers I used could log in as me...? I think so anyway! lol (or like you do -LOL!!!11!!1one!!! hehe) Refugee^{talk page} 22:19, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

I would advise: experiment. Use roomies 'puter, click "remember me". Then explicitly "log out" and see if it works, I think it does. If not, create a throwaway sock and log in as it afterwards. human^{be in} 01:22, 25 September 2007 (EDT)

and what's a gprs node? Refugee^{talk page}

I'm on a PDA using cellphone access. Susan^{talk to me} 22:28, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

YOU ALTERED MY TALK PAGE!!! DIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Or not. :p

I don't mind your question at all. I stopped editing there because I get filled up with negative energy reading there (and here for that matter). Yes, that means I'm falling off the wagon the last couple days. As have many others, I've found it hard to look away.

No worries. :) Aziraphale 22:58, 8 November 2007 (EST) <-Irie, mon...

i understand completely. thanx for the explanation (ha, your section title scared me though... die! eeek! lol) Refugee^{talk page} 21:41, 14 November 2007 (EST)

where's my test area?

Ok, so where's that test area that Susan G kindly made for me a while back... I want to try to change my colors before I post again. I can't find it. :( (yeah I know, I am teh stupid one)

Try User:CP Refugee/sandbox. That's standard practice. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 05:52, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Thanx! But I just found it! :) and guess what, all I needed to do was read my own talk page, above, lol. the link was right up there, somewhere. I appreciate the help though!

Anytime : ) -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 06:06, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Ok, I guess I'll change it then. :) Refugee^{talk page} 08:07, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Dig up the lyrics to Tom Petty's seminal hit, "Refugee", and all will be revealed. And, um, thanks, I think. ħuman 02:55, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Tom Petty, Refugee Lyrics:

We got somethin', we both know it, We don't talk too much about it. Ain't no real big secret all the same, somehow, we get around it.

It don't really matter to me, baby, You believe what you want to believe, You don't have to live like a refugee. (Don't have to live like a refugee)

Somewhere, somehow, Somebody must have kicked you around some. Tell me why you wanna lay there and revel in your abandon.

It don't make no difference to me, baby, Everybody's had to fight to be free, You see you don't have to live like a refugee. (Don't have to live like a refugee)

Baby, we ain't the first. I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned. Right now this seems real to you, But it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true.

Somewhere, somehow, Somebody must have kicked you around some. Who knows? Maybe you were kidnapped, Tied up, taken away, and held for ransom.

It don't really matter to me, baby, Everybody's had to fight to be free, You see you don't have to live like a refugee.

Just saying "Hi"

Haven't seen you before, Refugee. Hi! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 22:16, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

hugs to R.A! :) Refugee^{talk page} 05:45, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

where's that other site?

Does anyone have the link to that other site that is like this one, but smaller, it has almost the same name, but longer, and it has a cute little "walking brain" icon for it's symbol? I can 't think of the exact name, but it's got a lot of the same members as here and similar pages, but different and/or expanded info on some things. I had the link but haven't been there in awhile and can't find it again. I'm putting this question here because I'm not sure who else's talk page it could go on... so if anyone happens to read my talk page (doubtful, but it could happen) and know the site I'm referring to, could you please give me the link if you have it? Or email me, it's enabled through here... thanks! :-) Refugee^{talk page} 16:29, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

"Do I really have to read the rules again Human?" Of course not. Wait, what rules??? All we have are "guidelines"... ħuman 22:57, 30 December 2008 (EST)

In all seriousness, I should read the guidelines. I tend to jump right in without reading anything, then ask about things that are covered. Refugee^{talk page}

No, why not just wait until you are at home and have more time and feel like writing, and you are right, it's better not to reveal too much to anonymous females over the internet - I could go all crazy stalker or something! hehe. :p But I do think that it doesn't show your IP addy when you click the link to email from RW? That's how it works on some other wikis I am pretty sure, but I've never emailed anyone from here. Maybe send a test message to yourself and find out? - Refugee^{talk page} 21:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Its not my IP I am thinking about. My work email address lists my full name, title, contact phone numbers etc. That give to much away....however.....in saying that I could just reply to your mail via email this user instead of my email address...hmmmmmm x Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 21:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Sad pandas

You're probably just the tip of an iceberg. :( --Eira ^{OMTG! _{The Goat be Praised.}} 19:39, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Kudos to you Eira, for trying to be a voice of reason. How ridiculous for a couple of people to say they don't like Human's unilateral decision to crat someone, so as a response, they de-crat everyone and say now you have to do things my way! I feel this was forced down our throats, and should never have happened. This was a really cool, unique, wiki. But there is nothing I can do, so my choice is to leave. Refugee^{talk page} 19:43, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Personally I'd suggest you get the full story before leaving. This has been coming for a long time, and is about far more than Human's decratting of Blue. EddyP ^{Great King! Disaster!} 19:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Apparently it's enough about Human to warrant refusing him sysop rights... --Eira ^{OMTG! _{The Goat be Praised.}} 19:51, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I think I know enough about the issues. But, full story or not - what I object to was the way this was done. No due process. No input from the "rank and file" as we have been called. But I have no say so, my only choice is to put up with it or go. So I go. Refugee^{talk page} 19:55, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

(EC)I'm assuming that this is about Totnes not giving them out? Totnes wasn't even around when this started; he's simply the fourth winner of Musical Crat, the purpose of which is to make sure a crat is always about. This was started by ADK and Nx. Whether or not Totnes hates Human (and I don't think he does) has nothing to do with what's happened today. EddyP ^{Great King! Disaster!} 19:55, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Ok, time to take this debate to a more appropriate page than my user talk. Archiving in a moment before leaving. Take care all... Refugee^{talk page} 19:57, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Legend

Unfortunately your wise words will be overlooked. Too many noobs have joined recently and too many seem to want this place to be some wikipedia mirror. This place isn't fun anymore, its over run by people who think they're either lawyers or congressmen. Pathetic. MarcusCicero (talk) 20:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

My rebuttal

Apologies about that, I thought it was the best way. I also wanted it to get done as quickly as possible; I didn't want any ECs to mess it up and make me have to start again. EddyP ^{Great King! Disaster!} 21:54, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I completely understand your wanting to comment on my remarks - that's fine.. but it isn't standard to put comments right in the middle of someone's thoughts - then the entire essay becomes disjointed and incomprehensible. I copied the rebuttal to it's own section below, hopefully all is well now... Thanks! Refugee^{talk page} 22:01, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

" Posting links to people who share your opinion, I can do the same, it's ridiculous and proves nothing."

What an incredibly asinine and sightless post. Just because you use somebody else's words, your beliefs don't count? Ideas are not words. Debates are not beliefs. How Blue expresses her beliefs cannot be condemned so long as she is understood.

Now, I don't know what prior conflicts have pitted you and Blue against each other, but I am confident that you have misjudged her. Blue has been little else than a light on this wiki, one beacon among a few who choose to be bold, and to work for the site's betterment. She has dealt with endless hailstorms of insults and trolling, from Nutty Roux assaulting her appearance to Human questioning her choice of gender identity, and she has endured this all with nearly unfaltering stoicism. Why? Because she has a vision. She sees a wiki that stands as tower upon the internet. A tower unyielding to pseudoscience, bigotry, and obscurantism. She has devoted time and effort to create this tower, battling the rats infesting the foundation and slowly but surely, she has been laying the mortar between the bricks, has been refining the blueprints, and has been a support and a guide for the others who wish to build this tower. I don't know why you are here. Perhaps you share the same vision. And if you do, you should know better than to impugn Blue, who has always been a great asset to this project.--"Shut up, Brx." 04:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Wow Brx, your a douche. What do Human and Nutty have to do with this? Please remove that photo of you and cat, which is what I assume is your only contact with affection (and even then that cat looks like it would flee if it could). It makes me nauseous. Aceⁱ⁹ 18:52, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that was a bit much... Attacking people who are not here to defend themselves. Brx said "Blue has been battling the rats infesting the foundation" - how extremely rude.

Silly 'ol Brx. :-) Right after I actually gave you credit for making a sensible post on the other talk page... and a full 25 minutes after I redacted my entire post to Blue, including the part that you quoted (so what made you look up the post I erased, then feel that you simply must comment on something I had already removed, despite my explaining that I didn't want to perpetuate the argument any longer, hmmm? Silly Brx). Of course Blue does not need you to fight a battle or reply to me. I have no quarrel with you, and therefore you can step right on out of this conflict, it's been over for awhile, and never concerned you in the first place.

Something of an apology

I shouldn't have been so snarky, especially to someone who has been here as long as I have, and for that, I do apologize. That said, I am pretty firmly convinced, as I have said elsewhere and repeatedly, that mission creep is getting in the way of/watering down what RW does well, and thus turning the project into a piss-poor Wikipedia with snark. I really believe that there are vast swathes of mainspace that do nothing to advance the goals of the site, and that unless a page has narrowly-relevant and ORIGINAL content, it sould be torn down and rebuilt, or taken out back and shot. But I also try to respect the opinions of old-timers and valued contributors like yourself who see things differently. I try--not always successfully--to discourage newbs from taking the site where I don't think it should go, like the recently-deleted article on Mahler, and I try--not always successfully--to avoid pissing off regulars who have a different opinion than mine on content. Sometimes I fuck up, like I did with you. I'll try to be more mindful from here. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?. 18:43, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, that was very sweet of you. :-) I appreciate your comments. I think I understand your point of view, and of course, respect your right to it. IN fact, I agree with you that some articles do not further the mission and could be done away with. It's pretty hard not to go around slapping 'delete' tags on some stuff myself, lol. Rationalwiki is always changing and evolving, and hopefully with editors like you, who continue to care about the site and to work on improving it, RW will become better and better. Lots of potential here! Refugee^{talk page} 19:18, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
