The way things are going there will soon be more ex members of Rat Skep over here than
members over there. So this must be an intricate plot on the part of Rationalia to boost its
numbers without anyone suspecting anything. But why not save time and just merge the two
sites since that would then help everyone to move forward in the spirit of mutual cooperation

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

You presume much and apply it with a great deal of sanctimony.

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.

Expecting "rationalist and skeptics" to somehow be different from other people is funny. You'll laugh, you'll cry then hopefully you get over it and stop expecting anything special out of them.

Exactly the sort of thing a troll would say, troll

I'm astonished that Mick lasted that long.

How does that work if Mick wants to join here now?

[pErvinalia]

That's an interesting quote(mine). That would appear to be a clear statement of intention to troll someone. I don't know much about Mick, so I don't know whether technically he deserved to be trolled, but if the site still claims to be fair and objective (does it still claim that, or has it finally openly stated that it is now a subjective dictatorship?) then it shouldn't allow this sort of thing. But if Mick was a waste of electrons, then I would have a hard time getting too worked up about this.

Having said that, though, I think every case should progress through the usual warning/suspension system. Just outright banning people doesn't make a lot of sense given the rhetoric the site alleges to function by...

[Lion IRC]

I wouldnt be the first time 'fundie baiter' said ...either he goes or I do.
And the ultimatum obviously worked.

Well Hackenslash is suspended now though I don't know how long it is, he give the impression that he was pro free speech so I don't know what that rant was about. He is a member here so he might like to whine about ratskep here for a bit.

Yes, this is true. The problem is, you see, that they don't follow their own FUA in handing out permabans. They just make shit up as they go and after they have banned someone they forbid discussion or questioning of the mods decisions. So even if you stay within the confines of the FUA you can still get banned for holding an unpopular opinion firmly enough.

Buncha fucking Stalinesque Star-chamber fuckwits if you ask me...or even if you don't.

You should learn to distinguish between "troll" and "attack." Just because you get mad and stamp your feet like a three year old doesn't mean your opponent is "trolling" you, it just means you're acting like a child.
