You have got to love the naivety of Forty Two, he still believes ratskep cares about facts, evidence, truth, reality and science.
I'm just waiting for them to call him a troll so I can open a book for when he gets banned.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
Does anyone know why I have been suspended from RatSkep for 24 hours "pending review"?
I could understand it if I had been at the centre of a bunch of arguments, but things have been pretty quiet and reasonably civil lately.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
Well, he did call me a cunt a couple of times recently, for reasons I couldn't quite gather. I'd be surprised if that had anything to do with it though.

Why doesn't the hack produce videos anymore? I'm still subscribed to his channel.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
hackenslash has left Rat Skep for good and is getting very tired of the internet even though he cannot keep away from it for very long
I am no longer a member either even though I still post there as I have left it for good too although not obviously for the same reason
Strontium Dog will be informed at a later date what if any action will be taken against him after mods received complaints about him
I am not sure what the subtle distinction is between having the wrong haircut and the wrong colour hair but it is not worth discussing
