Re: Outraged atheists lose faith in Dawkins as he censors websit

I've banged a post on the Times site. Should I feel disloyal to RD? I think not: who was it who told us to be concerned with what is true, whether we like it or not? Just posted one of my own, waiting for approval. Did the usual thing of pointing out how it happened and posting links to Peter's blo...

I think you're absolutely correct, and that's the part I find hard to understand. Why are we so contemptible?

Re: First reaction by Richard Dawkins.

I'm a "celebrity" now? Heh. I'm a guy with a blog, with absolutely zero influence over Josh, and no obligations in return. Although I am a little miffed. I've seen the traffic numbers on RD.net from Google Analytics, and it gets about 1/2 to 2/3 of the traffic of Pharyngula (and sorry to inform you...

Re: Announcement about RDF Part 2.

Hi, guys. What did I miss? We all became Mormon and left RD.net. Put on your magic underpants and pick a wife. Or two. :funny: Just don't pick one that turns out like Joyce McKinney. Yes, I can find a way of shoe-horning her into any thread if I put my mind to it! :mrgreen: Meanwhile, hello again, ...

Hi, guys. What did I miss? We all became Mormon and left RD.net. Put on your magic underpants and pick a wife. Or two. Oh shit, is that what I signed up for?

Re: Announcement about RDF Part 2.

On the bright side, the Dawkins forum is running like a dream now! Without all those pesky members searching through the site and making posts, I haven't have a General Error all day! :biggrin: Yeah, well... my toilet flush doesn't give me any general erros either. Not like I can learn anything fro...

If you are going to tell more people about this (like New Humanist, PZ Myers etc) please bring up the fact that Mazille, the moderator responsible for the science-writing award, was completely deleted from the forum, along with every post he ever made. Does anyone know any decent bloggers at nation...

Re: Announcement about RDF

So I woke up this morning, and it's all still true! :(

Nice to see so many old faces here.



Not that it really matters, since I wasn't exactly a forum fixture, but I dropped the "small grey" and am just the pigeon now.

Like many, I joined the facebook group.
