Nope, can't send any PM's either. And I can't use the 'view your posts' and 'view active topics' functions either. I actually managed to send Topsy a PM before everything got blocked. Is she here, btw?

S.
Yeah, somewhere.
I've been here since last August.
(lemme out! lemme out!) :mrgreen:

I have loads of PMs from people asking why they can't post but I can't answer more than one an hour due to the new PM settings.
Flopsy*, if you know someone is here, you could reply to them here if the situation warrants it. Just a thought. :eddy:

I guess it doesn't matter, but it was a bit unexpected. Seldom have I liked a woman so much without sexually harassing her in some way...

I am slow, so some of these bits were written almost an hour ago, but I will leave it as it is.

This might not encourage her to join ratz. Unless she's into you harassing her. :date:
I have plenty of other reasons for wanting Gallstones here. Now I just have one more.

Good Morning Everyone: :coffee:

Lak it is of some comfort to hear you grump a bit. It is ,of course, far too soon to digest the current state of the universe. The profound hurt a few nearsighted technicians placed on a lot of good people is rather huge to absorb.

It would be nice to see the band of few old farts to reassemble and exchange pleasantries without the intrusion persons with agendas. The only agenda the OFC ever had was to rid Pensioner's neighborhood of bothersome felons.

Also, it's wonderful to once again be in the midst of La Bella.

I know of at least three other people who are doing it. Much more might raise flags, so probably best to see how we go on.

As for the book, that's a good point. Some thought will have to be given to it, and I don't think it's a decision I should be taking on my own. It really requires the input of all, especially in light of the recent unpleasantness.

I can’t believe this has happened. Dawkins should hide his head in shame, that dirty fucker! He promotes atheism and setting-up a community where atheist can feel at home, especially our Muslim friends that in some cases risked life and limb to be online and learn about atheism. We also openly welcomed anyone regardless of sexual preference and showed religious people that love for mankind means all of mankind, not just a selected group that meet a specific sexual criteria. Then Dawkins sticks his prick up our collective asses! :Erasb: (If I’m going to be fucked, can I at least have a dinner first?) :food:

While some may defend Dawkins, no one (Josh) could do that to the forum without Dawkins’ approval. I’ve held Dawkins on a pedestal every since I read ‘The God Delusion’ and since then have been buying his books, I don’t have them all yet, but my plan was to get them all as money permitted.

Now I wouldn’t give that prick a cent! I’d starve in the streets before I’d see even a cent of my money go to that fuck. I’ll also bad-mouth that fucker on the net whenever I get the chance to. (Oh, am I doing that now?) :|~

In addition, I understand that asshole will be in Melbourne later this month? If that’s the case then all ex-RDNet people attending should boo that fuck right off the stage! He doesn’t deserve any respect from the atheist community whatsoever. If I was able to attend, I’d cat-call him and tell him he’s a hypocrite and a waste of human tissue. :pissed:

In RDNet we had a Camelot. Many atheists felt alone and alienated, especially those that live in bible-belt regions all over the world. They had a true home at RDNet and we accepted everyone with an open heart.

Now that’s gone and that fucker Dawkins probably assumes we’ll all kiss his royal asshole and stay on his forum. Not the fuck likely! He and his ass-lickers can have an empty (hopefully) forum when most of us leave for good. I won’t go back, I’m not going to kiss Josh’s ass and beg for approval for every post. He and Dawkins can screw themselves into oblivion to pass the time of day. :tup:

I feel so much better now after feeling betrayed at what those 2 have done. Yes I say 2, Dawkins isn’t innocent, he owns the forum, he controls its direction.

Sorry to the mods. :flowers: You guys/gals did such a great job and worked so hard to make RDNet a truly special place on the net. Your thanks from Dawkins was a swift and vicious kick in the ass.

However, life goes on. I have a new home here, lots of old faces have arrived, and are still arriving, and this site will show Dawkins’ new site for what it is, a bunch of ass-kissing flies at a shit convention.

Hmmm… I wonder, should I say what I really feel? I think I may have sugar-coated this post too much. :hehe:

Given that the success of the book may have largely hinged on the support of Dawkins, it may not be as feasible now. This is under the assumption that the change to the forum is in some way related to Dawkins wishing to dis-associate himself from it.
Goodbye RDF. We hardly knew ye.

I'd send Josh the exact same picture if I could still post PM's. Crap.
Gallstones has a Facebook page. She posted a non-link to it before everything went tits up but I do know Nora is a F’book friend of hers.
Gallstones is a SHE? LOL
Gallstones is definitely a ‘she’. There’s a very bad picture of her in army rig on the front of her Facebook page.
