I VERY much doubt any religious believer has quietly infiltrated the heart of the RDF :) Those of us who "infiltrate" atheist sites are bloody blatant about it, and tend to harp on about our beliefs. (see my sig!) Nope this is a human thing: humans do shitty thing, and institutionalised atheism suffers from exactly the same problems as instituitonalised religion human beings cock it up :)

The 'Walsh Question' 'What Is A Woman?' I'll put an answer here when someone posts one that is clear and comprehensible, by apostates to the Faith.

Update: I've been offered one!

The new forum, a pheonix indeed, is at http://www.rationalskepticism.org. Ex RDF guys, that is home for those that want it.

I've been doing a little googling and I am now quite perturbed by how many forums seem to be watching us. : :ddpan:

I guess it's mostly RDF members spreading out the net, but seriously... we are being watched. *tinfoil*

I figured since he is tech-savvy enough to log in once in awhile, he is responsible. Thinking anything less of him would seem disrespectful.

It was done because he wanted it done. It was done the way that he wanted it done. It has the advantage of being the most parsimonious answer.

Oh thats just terrible, I hope she's ok. Many of the regulars have reassembled here. We should at least be able to maintain some of the community, I hope.

What do you mean 'people are watching'? Is this hitting the secular blogosphere?

I looked on Pharyngula and found nary a mention, but I know RDFers comment there sometimes, and a lot of Pharyngulites came over to the forums one time when PZ was being slagged off about something.

I posted offtopic a PZ's place to tell folks where we have drifted ashore.
