How did you find Rationalia.com?

Welcome and dive into the madness.

I found rationalia through a link that called out the following:

Would it be immoral to rape a Skepchick?

Not for sexual gratification or power or anything like that, just because they're so annoying.
I'm really torn on this one.

I hope there are enough people on this site that realise how wrong that post was and do something about it. The sceptical community would be all the better for it.

According to Pappa's own guidelines:

Intentional malicious trolling and use of offensive language, images or jokes, with the intention of harassing, intimidating, tormenting or persecuting another member, or in the knowledge that such posts are likely to cause widespread general offense, will not be tolerated. (my emphasis)

The cringe-worthy post has given a lot of offence. Yet it has been defended here as if such posts are perfectly acceptable. To understand just how offensive it is, try substituting "a Skepchick" with someone you really care about. Or any group that is likely to suffer such abuse.

And to those who have been defending Pappa's gormless nastiness. Shame on you all. Lose the unsceptical self-righteousness already.

I was riding the Lochness Monster to Atlantis after finding the Fountain of Youth with my buddy Big Foot and I chanced upon inside a chasm at the bottom of the sea. It was so beautiful. The best thing I've ever seen in my lifetime.

True story.

That's how most of us found the place, but we were never allowed to tell the story.

Yah, Big Foot hates to be talked about behind his back.

I should apologize to him.

I haven't spoken to him since he tracked up my nice clean kitchen floor.

Finger wagging is soooooo yesterday.

I'm surprised we haven't had more Righteous Rangers in here. But maybe the earlier ones actually looked around and decided PZ was off base? I mean there have to be some of them who can think for themselves.

Supporting rape culture is what all the cool kids are doing then?

Being stark raving about a stupid joke is what all the cool Squid Squad is doing?

Does the concept of black humour mean anything to you?

Or is PC the driving force now?

Puckered minds don't have that much slack, my friend.

I'm assuming you've actually read the thread and aren't just basing your judgement on a quote and link from outside this forum.
