Re: For Reason and Science?
OK, it's all a strange world to me. I'm just a one woman guy.
International disaster, gonna be a blaster
Gonna rearrange our lives
International disaster, send for the master
Don't wait to see the white of his eyes
International disaster, international disaster
Price of silver droppin' so do yer Christmas shopping
Before you lose the chance to score (Pembroke)

Trying to figure this out - following it in a haphazard way for months and months. Either there's a press worthy scandal brewing or there isn't. If there is when will it break surface?
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Re: For Reason and Science?
When I finally piece everything together in a format to send to the press, hopefully by the end of this summer. I probably could go to the press just now - but I'd rather go to the IRS with certain things, first.
It's a lot of focused work, for which I'm not being paid. It does take priority after other stuff in my day-to-day life, even if I'm determined to fulfill my intent.

Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Re: For Reason and Science?
Surely the fact that you have documentation, revealing that Dawkins deliberately set up the foundation to bankroll his courtesans, on its own should make the IRS go mediaeval on his arse?
I somehow think the tax people here in the UK wouldn't be slow to send in the heavy metal squad at 3am, and drag him down to New Fetter Lane in his underpants, if they received information of similar misdeeds here.

Re: For Reason and Science?
Well, yes. But it's the fact that there's SO MUCH to document and explain along with that. I don't want to send several referrals revealing dribs and drabs of the story at a time.
I'm going to send two separate referrals, covering different issues. I'm not going to be more specific, but I'm hoping to send the first by next weekend.

Re: For Reason and Science?
I actually can't wait to send everything away to the IRS, so that I can talk about a whole load of stuff without giving RDF the heads-up to cover their arse.
(And I'll only repeat - the NBGA issue is a fair test of how willing RDF is to address important issues out of the decency and professionalism of their hearts. Completely unwilling. Main agenda is to cover their own arse.)

Does anybody even bother with RDFRS anymore, I visited a few times and found it boring? Later on when I needed a new password to log on I just removed the bookmark tag on my browser and left for good.
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.

It's far too exciting for my tastes.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
