Rationalia is about its members, not just its admins. :nono:

I noticed quite a number of 'ordinary' rank and file being pretty welcoming too.

I came here to say that, and I don't think there's anyone here more ordinary or more rank than me.

Thankyou to all Ratizens for the kind offers of cheese and gin (now if I can just figure out how to download it all).
Must be a bit of an inconvience to say the least to be flooded like this by all the RDnetrabble.

No, not at all! I'm thrilled by all the fresh meat and I think I speak for everyone! Most of us were already RDnetrabble in the first place, so this is like getting to hang out with all our friends in the same place. :td:

For staff read members, I can often get words muddled when composing and rephrasing posts, I usually catch it - but not this time.

It is indeed kind-hearted of our Ratz brothers to give us shelter from the cruel sea because of the pirates who sunk HMS Dawkins in a cowardly and unprovoked act of terrorism. :huggeroo: :flowers:

Thank you too. I didn't even to get to write a 'so long and thanks for all the fish' there :cry:
No warnings either though, several times I came this close to telling some of the more flagrant, arrogant, dunning-kruger, arse-brained, whaleshit-ignorant, navel-gazing, creotarded, fuckwitted, disingenuous moron motherfuckers what I really thought of them and their fundamentalist bilge.


Now, what was this bacon you speak of?

Valden makes the best avatars! I'm a great fan of her work, even when she confused me by changing her name!

I just wanted to add my thanks to all of Ratz, mods and members. You have no idea (or maybe you do) how you've helped to ease the trauma of a large number of very shell-shocked people.
