Announcement about RDF

[Simon_Gardner]

Someone should put a paragraph about this debacle on Wikipedia's RDF page.

Best suggestion I’ve heard so far. Someone should do it SOONEST.

@ LordP

We already have Richard's personal email (the non RD.net one) as that's the one he used to contact me on.

I wonder if it's the same one I have?

Good Morning Everyone:

Lak it is of some comfort to hear you grump a bit. It is ,of course, far too soon to digest the current state of the universe. The profound hurt a few nearsighted technicians placed on a lot of good people is rather huge to absorb.

It would be nice to see the band of few old farts to reassemble and exchange pleasantries without the intrusion persons with agendas. The only agenda the OFC ever had was to rid Pensioner's neighborhood of bothersome felons.

Also, it's wonderful to once again be in the midst of La Bella.

You made it! Just before the ice floe melted, evidently. We'll need a new topic title, how about "Old Farts Part 1: Once more into the breech, dear friends..."

And it certainly is good to see the lovely Bella again, particularly with the nice big avatar.

Now where the hell are Van, Pen, Nora, fredbear, durro, besleybean, Agrippina, pints, canuk~1, et. al? I see Scot made it out alive, musta hurt like hell running on that bad knee.

A toast to absent comrades. May they find their way here.

Oh, I almost forgot:

FUCK YOU, JOSH

I just picked up a PM from Nora on RD.net, saying that she is on Facebook. She seemed unaware of this site, so I sent her the address. Hopefully she'll be along in a bit. Pen is here, as is durro.

She's already registered and posted.

Personally, I'm convinced that Dawkins knows everything about the forum closing and the plans for the new discussion system, but nothing about the way the two tossers went about things. I'm sure there's a reason Josh and Andrew feel the need to hide their tracks, cut communication links, and even tell staff to behave and not to contact the Prof.

So unprofessional. Not people person of the year anyway. Josh sucks more than a Turkish hooker on speed. He's going to wish I didn't have his personal email address.

Yes, please let Bob Kolker know we are now here. He did not have a PM capability, as I recall, but he was a good poster.

I wish you luck, but my own experience is that he just ignores anything that doesn't suit him.

You can get it if you work fast! Miranda is still on Josh's facebook friendlist (he deleted the rest of us!). She can get you the email id! :twisted:

But Peter has the address. Read it again.

These porn add mails are no quitters. Or so I have been told.

Just spreading this around a little...

I feel a little lost at the moment. I don't really know what to think or feel. I'm angry and sad, but I think that's a given really. I feel incredibly gutted for the mods and the all of the work and dedication they put into the forum.

I don't want to believe that Richard okayed Josh's actions, I don't want to lose all respect for the man that wrote a truly life changing book (not TGD btw). But there is a side of me that thinks back to previous encounters with Dawkins on the forum, and I can't help feel a certain uneasiness about this whole situation.

Have you said, or do you plan to say, anything to him with regards to this - or are you convinced he'll respond mostly just with apathy to the whole thing. (Richard is such a pain in the arse sometimes - claiming to be quixotic one minute, getting all riled up about small things with other posters on RD.net - and then getting shirty if you get riled up about something that he doesn't want on his radar. )
