Welcome Recursive Prophet

Post by recursive prophet » Fri Jul 17, 2009 9:05 pm

Hmm. Well, now I see why I wasn't invited to come here anyway. So this is where the naughty boys and girls from RDF went after the meltdown, eh? No wonder there's hostility there toward this site. Just commented on the thread you started there on Tech sub about linking to here Charlou. Doh! I thought this was put together as an alternative to the growing nannyism and bias at RDF. I guess in a way it still was, but didn't know about the connection with last years sex discussions and the battle that ensued. I only heard about that indirectly via Alison, who I originally brought to RDF. The name was a clue for me based on a character from Fowles' The Magus. And now my path again crosses that of the ever Stochastic, Scholastic Spastic! Oh the recursion, the illiteration..... :drunk:

Up to no good as always, eh SS? I always suspected you were a wanker. :mrgreen: So instead of an intellectual dialectic on Natural Selection you want to focus on perverse primate procreational proclivities, m'boy? I bet your folks are proud. Hundreds of millions of sperm cells, and he was the quickest?, I hear them asking themselves. :biggrin:

Mostly I just signed on to support Charlou in her ongoing quest to blow a little sunshine up the collective kilts at RD. I probably won't post much here; no mods to fight with. :naughty: I'll check the science forum from time to time, but lost interest in talking about sex or religion decades ago. Anyway, I'm rp and just thought I'd say hi. Hi.

Wow. Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I even discovered via a PM my old key-pal CJ is here. Have a lot of reading to do-my primary activity everywhere-to get up to speed. One wag at JREF started referring to me as ‘reclusive prophet’ due to my persistent lurking and rare posts.

I participate on a number of sites but have never got up to even 1 post per day on any. Think of me as a sort of ‘accidental tourist,’ who mostly enjoys just observing and taking mental snap-shots. I lean heavily toward scientific discussions, though after watching some of my favorite posters on several sites get banned I’ve lately become active in debating moderation policy. It’s a good cause for those in their dotage, as we are not easily inflamed. :mob: 8-)

For the immediate future I suspect islands of uncensored free thought will all be limited in size. With success comes problems, and clearly there are no solutions as yet. What we probably need is some large lawsuit for character defamation against YouTube or some other giant and a Supreme Court decision that site’s can’t be held responsible for all the claims of their users. Until that time small is beautiful, and I will be spending most of my posting time on such sites. This one looks like it’s off to a promising start. :clap: :td:

This must be moved to a thread of it's own. Welcome, recursive prophet :biggrin:

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Is there really? I never go there any more, so I always assumed we'd be an insignificance to them now, just small fry. What sort of hostility is there?

Without dredging up details, there were a few symptoms of old grudges manifesting themselves, but I'd say with the influx of RDF staff to rationalia that they could be well on the way to moving past any lingering historical angst. I certainly like to think so. :cheers:

Excellent!

I still remember a variety of interesting threads that you, Lars and I participated back in the evolution forum of the old RDF, the land that sunk beneath the western sea in a past age...

Cheers, mate!
