What's with the anti-religion rage lately? I mean, did some JWs wake you up early too many time? Not that I have a problem with it, just curious. {{User:Z3ro/sig2}} 18:04, 25 February 2009 (EST) | What's with the anti-religion rage lately? I mean, did some JWs wake you up early too many time?

Thanks for fixing my crappy spelling. Though I would point out that DDos is short for Distributed Denial of Service attack, and it was that I was refering to. Sorry making a load of work for you to do man.DSFARGEG 18:57, 3 February 2009 (EST)

hey thanks
Hey! Thanks for sysop-ing me. I'll try to do a good job. Also, while you're at it,you should look into Reuleaux. He's my brother and he's the one who introduced me to RationalWiki. Whatever qualities of mine compelled you to make me a sysop, I can guarantee that he's just as good in those areas of expertise, if not better. Once again thanks and hopefully this will not backfire you later! Just kidding. Maybe. YB indeed! 23:42, 12 February 2009 (EST)
Thanks for the sysop status

Whoa, whoa! Slow down. Maybe you should look at http://imtehkenny.blogspot.com first. 14:48, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- I already said his blog was cool...and TK would be crafty enough to take out a fake blog, write all kinds of cool shit in it for months just to fool us and get on our wiki and into our Precious Bodily Fluids. He's like that. TheoryOfPractice 14:50, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- Yeah, I'm slow. But I vote for benefit-of-doubt (I was accidentally initialed RW after all) 14:51, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- And they never should have given you the benefit of the doubt, seeing as you were only there to pollute their Precious Bodily Fluids. Like this guy, who is most assuredly a sock of TK. TheoryOfPractice 14:57, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- With a blog going back to 2006? That's a lot of effort!
- Also, many kudos for Strangelove references! The world needs more of them, in this era of economic uncertainty. 15:06, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- It would look VERY bad for us if we blocked a new editor just because he had a name with the initials TK. Just treat nim like a normal editor. Assume ignorance, not malicious intent. The EmperorKneel before Zod! 15:02, 15 February 2009 (EST)

Jesus Christ--do you people have no sense of the importance of this. IT'S TK. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE AS SURE AS CUR KNOWS HE'S PART WOLF/CHEETAH/COCKROACH/POOH-BEAR. Unless we nip this in the bud, it's curtains for RW. CURTAINS!!!! 15:05, 15 February 2009 (EST)
- Part cockroach? I've never been so insulted in my life. And for the last time, there is no physical similarity, no physical 'part,' just. . . *groans* are we going to get into the Debate:Otherkin again? P.S. No bear. Sorry. --"CURtalk 15:08, 15 February

Cheetah
Thank you for deleting that page. I know we disagree, but we should be able to remain somewhat respectful of each other. --"CURtalk 18:18, 20 February 2009 (EST)

Just curious...
What's with the anti-religion rage lately? I mean, did some JWs wake you up early too many time? Not that I have a problem with it, just curious. Z3rotalk 18:04, 25 February 2009 (EST)
- Yeah. I was, until pretty recently, pretty tolerant toward religious folk. Maybe it's because I live in the US now and am more exposed to religion as a normalised part of public discourse and sometimes get dirty looks from new friends and colleagues for saying things that would never be considered offensive in the strongly-atheist milieu where I used to live; maybe it was all the stupid praying at the inauguration; Maybe it's being aware that in this country you can believe that dinosaurs roamed the Earth at the same time as humans and run for VP. But I've lost all sense of patience for religion as something that belongs in the public sphere in any way whatsoever, or as something that is compatible with being a rational, thinking individual.
