DaveDodo007... I mean... Rationalskepticism,lol.

What ended up happening with that? Did Shermer sue him?

Not sure, I assume it's still taking place and nobody can talk about it. With all the evidence that's coming out from various people though, I wouldn't be surprised if Shermer has dropped the case because I assume it can't be slander if it's true.

Mick just got banned for trolling. I can't believe I'm fighting this guy's corner

[Strontium Dog]

There really are some wantonly stupid fucking cunts at that forum. Sometimes I can physically feel my IQ dropping as I read threads over there.

[pErvinalia]

They must be bad if your IQ dropped.

That's a little ridiculous.. If there's one thing you can say about Mick it's that he's earnest in his beliefs and he doesn't say what he says to wind people up. He's clearly not a troll under any reasonable definition. It would make more sense to ban him for homophobia as he's made some pretty clearly overtheline comments on that topic, so I hope the mods mean "homophobic troll" (even though the "troll" part doesn't make sense).

Yeah, I believe it's only twice yours now.

In your fucking dreams mate.

Don't let it worry you. That's nothing to be embarrassed about, really.

IQ isn't all there is to intelligence.

[piscator]

Yes, there's Ts and Ls, a couple Ns, and even a couple Es.

Yes, and then there is the sheer brilliance and towering mental prowess only gifted to a fortunate few of us...

Us? US? Excuse me, who included you in my exclusive category?

[pErvinalia]

They love the permaban hammer there now, don't they? I just don't understand why they can't use the regular suspension system first, and then if all that fails then permaban. But banning outright in absence from the usual suspension system is just dictatorial and bizarre.

I dare one of them to start a thread complaining about Rationalia

Is not that explicitly prohibited by their FUA

Last time I checked you were a member there which means you agreed to the FUA when you joined
Saying it is theirs implies that you have nothing to do with it and though you may not have a high post
count that is neither here nor there. Starting a thread about Rationalia would be a waste of time because
there is less enforcement of the rules by comparison [ in fact next to none ] so there would be no reason to
do so. Being a mod here must be the most boring job of all since no one really steps out of line. In point of fact
if there were none here it would make no difference whatsoever to the level of debate. Which is ironic given that
many here are either suspended or banned members of Rat Skep so you would expect a need for greater moderation
Yet everyone here just gets on with it and does not get too het up about what others say about them which is a good thing

Actually, being a mod here has been quite stressful from time to time.

You have a time when mods A, B, and C are on and you get one ruling, then you have mods X, Y, and Z on, or mods A, Z, and 3 on or B is in a bad mood or whatever and there's a ruling quite inconsistant with the first one. Then you get charges of bias.

Or you get a blatant troll or some other jackass who just wants to come in and fuck with the running of the place and all hell breaks loose.

Fuck! I'm so fucking happy I don't mod here any more.

How is Mick a troll if he is a Christian and he believes Christian theology? Mick was on the receiving end of quite a lot of insults and he gets banned? Only our own Cali was prepared to expose his question begging, fallacy of composition etc, funny how so called rationalist and skeptics just resort to mocking and calling anybody who disagrees with then a troll. How many so called ex ratskep 'trolls' do we have here who are anything but trolls. It seems that not agreeing with the groupthink over there means you are now a troll.
