The Richard Dawkins forums have been shot. Round up the usual suspects.
Sadly, this is a very apt and frightening analogy. (Richard Dawkins as Rick Blaine, walking off into the fog on the tarmac with Josh Timonem, saying "Louie, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"?)

You're doing it wrong. I had close to 1,000 posts on RD forums with around 80% of them being trolling and never got called a troll.
Dammit... with this formerly known as heresiarch. I've read both words three times to notice a difference. :banghead:

Posted this in response to the homoeopathy article
"Please write to your MP, to sustain the momentum begun by the Select Committee."

I can't help but feel there is little point when those in power can simply ignore the legitimate concerns of those who helped them to their position of influence.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a tingling in their pants at the thought of a good online rebellion?! :pissed:

Has anyone just considered the simple fact that Josh may control Richards account?

Quite frankly I get the shivers at the thought of any kind of rebellion, full stop.

Yes (and not just during this episode), but apparently RD does read and send PMs himself.

I've tried something subtle but not so subtle on the "coma man" article. It's a bit unpolished and probably will just confuse people, but meh. :dono:
