I guess it's mostly RDF members spreading out the net, but seriously... we are being watched. *tinfoil*
I knew I should of listened to 5th_Ape when he tried to warn me that it was all just one big fucking cover-up.

I'd bet Dawkins is a fucking Reptilian Overload.

*puts on foil hat*

Aaah, thats better.

Should we invite the_5th_ape over here? We need a few laughs.

PS. Looking for a blogger template: 3 columns, dark, something on the gothic vampire side, not very intricate but elegant. If anyone knows of a template like the above PM me. Thanks.

That was a quick thousand posts. I wonder if RDF lost any real support these last couple of days... :eddy:

By 'us' do you mean Ratz or peeps from RD.net ?
:? *gulp* This is slightly worrying...
Fuck, we're famous! :hehe:
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.

He was a conspiracy nut, but he was our conspiracy nut dammit!

I'd love to see him over here again, my conversation on the pyramids is not over yet. I want to hear about how if you add up the square roots of all the sides combined and divide it by the speed of light you get the atomic number of parsley.... conspiracy? I think so!

See if I was Prime Minister, this kind of thing would be punishable to the full extent of the law. It made me hurt myself.

I've had any front page post I made about comming here deleted.
The new forum, a pheonix indeed, is at http://www.rationalskepticism.org. Ex RDF guys, that is home for those that want it.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Michael and I am *nervously shuffles feet, clears throat, and steels resolve* an ex RDFer.

Although I rarely contributed (managed a half-century of posts in a little over a year) I spent many many hours reading through the variously entertaining, educational, and sometimes down-right bizarre threads.

I think others have said most of what there is to say on the matter, but I would like to add my voice in reiteration of a couple of points:

The desire of RDF to prune the forum down to a discussion board for "Science and Reason" is understandable, and they are entitled to do so, but it mistakenly neglects two important functions that the forum in its old state performed: As a support group for coming-out atheists, especially those who might face ostracisation in RL; and as a magnet for theists, fundamentalists in particular, to post their arguments for public debunking.

The manner of execution was utterly disgraceful. The treatment of the moderators in particular was appalling and they have my sympathy, my respect, and my thanks for their hard and invariably excellent work in the past.

Thank you rationalia.com for the welcome shown so far. I hope myself and many others will find a brighter and better home here.

Enough seriousness, let's cheese :food:

You could never be prime minister, you're not the right kind of evil. :mrgreen:

You're evil for your own amusement, not your own benefit, there's a difference. ;)

Just something that has puzzled me for a while nowand it may have nothing to do with anything:
The former RD.net forum veteran member FedUpWithFaith whom I always respected for his wit and intelligence stormed off rather suddenly over a year ago now I think, while the former Admin ObscuredByClouds also left as an unhappy bunny, does anyone know what that was all about?
I never wanted to ask on RD.net, then again, of course I may just have missed all the right threads. :what:
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

Another RDF refugee here.

Do any of you ex-RDF'ers have any links to some threads explaining what really happened? I am still kind of in the dark here. Was it something I said? :naughty:
