The RD front Page

Post by kiki5711 » Thu Apr 01, 2010 10:00 am

Why do I feel I'm getting a sour stomach every time I see RD front page or Joshes name mentioned there? Now there is

Code: Select all

Joshusa favorites
I think those from the old forum at that time were in one reality while Josh/ Dichard team were in another dimension from us, not even his wife gets that much or should I say non at all as Josh does. :what: :what: :begging:

No offense to any of you loyal Dawks.

What's it all got to do with Josh anyway, he's just some admin who has no other visible involvement in the site, right? Or has that changed now?

Doesn't bother me. I found my own way to that forum originally via some digging I was doing on a local fundy twat journo we have here that's written a few books and runs a so-called 'investigative' mag called Investigate. While I appreciate RDFs thoughts on certain topics, no, I don't hold any significant loyalty regarding the forum.

Well, the way I feel, Josh seems to be the most important person in Richards life.
The old forum sold him a lot of books via thousands of members spreading the word and supporting it. Even though it was a meeting/sharing place for us, we helped make that book a success, (us the audience, and I just feel used.

Like as if you wake up in the morning with a guy and he says: "well it was good for me, I have other places to go now). ;) :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :cry: :cry:

I owed him a debt only because I met the Ratz through RDF He has since then hurt lots of the people I think of as my friends ... Debt cancelled !

That is weird... somebody mentioned that he dedicated one of his books to him too.

Is there something going on between them, do yo think? ;) ;) ;) :hehe:

Yes that's true, his latest book. About what their relationship is, who knows. His wife has never put forth an opinion on the front or the forum. Not that I know of unless she used some name and did not want her identity known.

The last I heard she was still doing something at those Archipelago/Gullipago something, something Islands or whatever they're called painting rocks for which she asked Richard to post for sale in the forum. Sorry, I know that it was probably for a good cause, but the paintings looked like from a 5 yr old. No offense.

What I wonder is, what the fuck has happened to that much talked-about discussion page that was to go in sometime last month. Really, you'd think they'd have given the notice back in February because the damn thing was ready, or very rapidly approaching completion. Or is this yet another realm where Josh and Andrew are not quite as competant as Richard would like to give them credit for? :coffee:
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.

Good question. The new forums were supposed to be up within 30 days. I signed up hereon Feb 22nd, which was the day of or after that announcement...

I really do wonder if book/merchandise sales have gone down on rd.net since then. I hope so.

Just wanted to clarify my above comment, that I have no intention of going back except possibly to see what the mess looks like if it ever gets off the ground.

So basically, RD has allowed the site to become a sort of Internet Sybian, whose purpose is to masturbate Josh's ego?

I was surprised to hear a reference to RD.net on the radio today (BBC Radio 2 - the Jeremy Vine show), which I occasionally listen to as, for our Merican members, it has a number of topical phone in issues every day. Today one of the topics was the indiscriminate and random mauling of people on forums, blogs and so on on the internet and how people can sometimes tear into individuals whose opinions they don' agree with as if they are Satan's spawn. - and do it anonymously. This is a phenomenon I am sure we have all noticed.

Anyway one of the speakers in the studio referred to how 'poor Richard Dawkins' had been called terrible things by people simply because they disagreed with a change on his website.

Made me realise how 'mainstream' RD and RD.net had become...and how little she knew.
