JREF is shutting down their forum. Some refugees wandering in to TR.
If this place ever 'dims the lights', I hope rainbow comes on over to TR.

I just now noticed, if one of your handles handle can be abbreviated to S.D., then you may be a troll.
I refer to you as Stupid Dickhead, so there might be some truth to that.
LOL. I wonder if I should report that? :ask:

It is actually against the rules: http://www.rationalia.com/forum/viewtop ... 100&t=3449
Go ahead, so long as you also report the two previous posts in this thread where he calls me a troll.

I don't troll RatSkep, and I've never poked, prodded, provoked or otherwise attacked any person unless they had a go at me first. Ever.

As I've said on numerous occasions, if anyone can find a single example of me attacking another member without prior provocation, then I'll leave the forum for good. Simple.

Who's rising to the bait then?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

Dude, pick a harder target if you're gonna troll in this thread. At this rate you'll be hard pressed to even make honorable mention.

The JREF forum is shutting down? :shock:
It looks like it is being taken over by someone called icerat. From the forum:

"I made an offer to take over management of the forum and they've accepted. Personally I'd like to keep the forum site pretty much as is with the same mods and admins, I'll just be more available to harass for technical problems if things break and responsible for paying the bills. JREF and the "new" forum will continue to cross-promote each other.

Quite frankly I personally find the forum of such value if I end up having to fund the whole thing myself I will. As I told my wife the other day I enjoy a place where I regularly feel intellectually intimidated! Good for the soul There's a lot of people who know a lot about a lot of subjects on this site, and it's not a resource I want to see disappear and that's been a very real possibility. IMO none of the other skeptics sites seem to have come close to matching what is available here.

On a positive note, for the first time in apparently quite a while, as of today there is actually a full backup of the site so if the hardware fails all is not lost!

Might be worth starting a new thread to talk about options, just not sure what category is appropriate! "
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.
