How did you find Rationalia.com?

Just watched RDF collapse in a big pile of stupid. Hoping this might be a suitable replacement.

This is way awesomer than RDF.

Also hoping that people don't use words like "awesomer" too often.

Awesomesticality is what I'm all about.

I found a PM from stijndeloose in my RDF inbox and then hotfooted over here to get my fix.

You too? Interesting how he seems to have taken it on himself to be the Samaritan for so many people

canadian...only wish I was a Swede!

I sometimes wish I was French except then I would have to learn a second language...

Frenchitude is highly overrated, but you're better of as a French trying to learn English than as an English speaker faced with the travail of learning French.

There is more awesome than a Squadron of Valkyrie Veritech fighters atomizing a whole Zentraedi fleet?

I think I should learn some second language as a way of meeting my global neighbors at least halfway.

I found this via PZ.

I was an RDFer, but after a few days away I found it was full of announcements and lots of harsh words being sent left, right and centre. I still don't really know what happened but one thing is for sure - it isn't in my control to dictate the outcome. I think if I had to read all the posts to figure out what the cause is I would still be here next week reading. If anyone cares to offer a short description I would be happy. If not, then not.

Both FIO and DP gave me the heads up via PM. A shoutout and another thanks to both of 'em

Blair Scott, a Facebook friend, posted this link to Peter Harrison's blog http://realityismyreligion.wordpress.co ... open-soon/

I registered here in in less than half an hour after starting to read that blog entry. And I am almost crying. I just CANNOT get it into my head that Richard Dawkins, from the land of Hyde Park Speaker's Corner - that he could really be writing this: http://forum.richarddawkins.net/viewtop ... 1&t=110356 It is as if he hasn't learned anything from his own country's history (people protesting what they feel to be greatly unjust are *not* famous for civilized and calm expressions... plus look at how their MPs routinely address each other still today!)

But I am glad I found the old, familiar, cozily disrespectful and relaxedly funny atmosphere here. It's a bit subdued for now, surely, but we will bounce back. BIG THANKS to all the ex-RDF mods who are showing up here & let this be A New Hope for all free thinkers, speakers and writers on the Net.

Warm hugs for anyone who needs them

I would guess that Richard wrote that as a response to the hatred directed toward his employee. What I do wonder is if Richard is really up to date on the goings on in the background that were hushed and put in the bin - but luckily explained by some on blogs etc.
If Richard thought is was all done fairly then I would expect that response, but if had any notion of (supposed) disrespect from his employees, the response would surely be different. Obviously Josh is not going to freely admit being a jerk or whatever, but if that became apparent to Richard and his response remains unchanged then something ain't right.
I don't condone hatred directed toward people, and clearly neither does Richard. But the other supposed disrespect and all cannot go unanswered either.

[lpetrich]

Because of the reformatting of the richarddawkins.net forums, as I like to call it. I'm lpetrich at a lot of other places, including rd.net.

I participated a little in rd.net, but never very much. But since many of you people at rd.net have moved here, I've decided to do so. I also have a lot of experience in online drama llama, having lived though the IIDebacle and related affairs.

I'm interested in science stuff - I have a lot of expertise there, including some expertise in the more mathematical fields of science.
