One For Logic

Ha! Have you been following my exploits on Conservapedia? OneForLogic 17:10, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Retroactively, I was alerted by your discussion at Wikipedia, and followed the bouncing ball. Welcome and I hope you find us more hospitable :). tmtoulouse ^beleaguer 17:14, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Would we be here if we weren't? That seemed like an attempt at "reasoning" and logic. Bad boy. That's not the way things are done on Conservapedia. The way conservapedia works is good, and it shall remain. Godspeed.

P.S, you got Bugled. Twice

Sweet. I was wondering when they were going to get around to banning me. I kind of figured the site being first locked-down then just being down were in my honor, as Aschlafly tried to figure out what to do about me. What else of interest was going on yesterday? OneForLogic 17:43, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Ummm....No idea. You (or rather AgainstRepression) was a focus of mine yesterday. Mainly the usual. Went down a time or two. But, if you look hard enough, which isn't hard at all, you get a lot. --*Gen. S.T. Shrink* ^{Get to the bunker} 21:14, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Hey, Tentacles, it's time to archive this page! ħuman 21:16, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Anti-science, logical positivism and moderation

The problem of growing anti-science sentiment is definitely one I'd be interested discussing. I imagine lots of people here would be interested in this. Should a new debate page be created for it, or would it fit in a debate already underway? I'm afraid I've never thought about logical positivism in the kind of formal terms used, for example, in the Wikipedia article, so I'm not sure how good a critique I could offer on that right now. I could talk about issue relating to moderation, neutrality, and atheism for as long as you like. I've been working on a blog over the last year, some of which would help explain my relationship with atheism. Look for the 'personal philosophy' and 'conflict' posts if you're interested. OneForLogic 21:18, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

You might want to link your blog from RationalWiki:Blogroll. As far as anti-science stuff, any reasonably cogent "subject" could easily have its own article here, whether you want to play at writing with us, or just suggest specific targets. ħuman 21:56, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised you guys have a list of your blogs. Mine is now under 'Miscellaneous'. I could definitely do some pointing of targets, and I probably will do some reading and writing here when I have time. OneForLogic 22:17, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

I have moved the blogs discussion to Talk:Main Page.--Bob^{bing up} 09:56, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Lost talk page

When moving RationalWiki:Newcomers from my private space to the RW space I had a sudden attack of stupidity and managed to lose the talk page. There is some more info on Human's talk page under "Could you have a look at something? Is there any way to get the talk page back? (sorry) --Bob^{bing up} 16:42, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

Specifically, this revision, I think: http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Bob_M/FAQ&oldid=190384&diff=prev ħuman 17:13, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

It appears to have overwritten the database, how important is it that we get it back? The only way would be to go through various backups and see if I can find one. tmtoulouse ^beleaguer 17:21, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

It had comment from RA suggesting that "Rational Point of View" was not the best name for our POV and a discussion about the vandal break. RA and Proxima Centauri felt it was an imposition on new users and they were going to take it up with you. Human said it wasn't much of a problem, and there was another question about the possibility of fast tracking some new users through it. And that's about it.--Bob^{bing up} 17:30, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

It's not hypercritical, although if it's on a backup it would be nice to copy/paste it. It did sit all last night, I think? ħuman 17:34, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

Awfully convenient for complaints to be flushed down the potty, Bob M. RWW may yet have its

Ah yes, Hans. But I've mentioned them here. Although I suppose you've only got my word for that,--Bob^{bing up} 17:50, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

You are teh Smart Tmtoulouse. No doubt RWW will claim teh credit though.--Bob^{bing up} 18:03, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

l0l!

I recently saw the block I recieved, and am still recovering from how heavily I am laughing at it... (can't type anymore!) Javascap 21:05, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

I think we should feature our block log more prominently, since it is one of the funnier parts of RW, that most people would never think to look at... ħuman 21:51, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

requires that all movable pages be locked to circumvent pagemove vandals. This task has proven to be both tedious and easily forgotten. Creating a bot to do it would be quite handy, but that is beyond my technical ability. If you would be so kind, could you or one of your associates here create a bot ("Lockbot") for RWW designed to lock pages from moving by non-syops? (Normal editing by anyone must remain unaffected.) Much obliged, Hans Johnson as in "keep ya hans off my" ^{(cover your eyes!)} 16:48, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

It would be called Protect-o-bot, as I outlined in my original proposal. :P _{↳ ↑ <blink>⇨</blink> ↕ ▽ ←} 16:55, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

We should hash out what it's name will be on RWW, not here. Hans Johnson as in "keep ya hans off my" ^{(cover your eyes!)} 17:06, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Whoa do I have associates that can create bots? Cool! Who? Wouldn't it be easier to set your LocalSettings.php file to prevent moving from anyone but sysops? tmtoulouse ^beleaguer 22:20, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

I'd make a spelling and chastising bot, but I don't know how... will someone teach me? ħuman 22:26, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Sure, how is your PERL? tmtoulouse ^beleaguer 22:33, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

I got my camel... right in front of me... The scripts on my websites all use it. Here is what I know: End every line with a semi colon or you phail!!! ħuman 22:53, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

I do not have access to the localsettings file. Hans Johnson as in "keep ya hans off my" ^{(cover your eyes!)} 23:48, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

How utterly atrocious, you should move RWW to our server. In the mean time I can write something but it will need sysops access. 24.141.66.208 23:52, 12 July 2008 (EDT)
