Anyone else feeling slightly smug?

In the last few days we've had a member of Ratz over here doing everyone's head in with posts about all sorts of shenanigans at Ratz, then we've had PZ doing his nut about all sorts of shenanigans at Pharyngula. They're bitching and moaning and appear to be genuinely upset about all the shit going on for them.

I think contrary to PZ's prior assessment that we at RatSkep are in fact an oasis of reason

Wasn't that the punchline for the RDF board? We are the lifeboat, floating on top of the pond in the oasis of reason. Still working on the wording though.

You're SMUG? Aww hell no!

Well, I'm proud to say that I'm quite smug that no one from here is making a complete tit of themselves, well no more than usual and not in a showy way

Yes, I was being ironic

Conform or be expelled? Maybe effective but hardly conducive to vigorous debate, the kind where the interesting stuff is likely to be brought up and possibly advance things.

I think I put on an example of a post from PZ's unmoderated blog earlier in the thread that went something like ' Fuck off you mother-fucking fuck and fuck yourself....Blah.....Blah....Motherfucker...... Cunt.....Fuck off, you're not welcome here you motherfucking fuckity fucker!'

Yes vigorous, no interesting

Edit: Because I keep calling PZ 'PX'.

They don't even begin to get the concept of addressing the post NOT the poster as our Hack does so effortlessly.

She did that to my joke too. I don't like Paula anymore.

Ani? Who drops one liners followed by fullstops all over the forum?

And you know I wasn't being serious, I rarely am

I wasn't serious about being serious. I'm very afraid of what serious Ani would do

Stop it! You're scaring me

So does that mean we’re not a nest of cockroaches?

To all of those fine people at Pharyngula who simply won’t let things go and who may well spend the rest of their natural life speaking out against Rationalia despite the apology that was given and who continue to assume that Rationalia is rapey and jokey. I suppose this might be apropos.

Paddling up the shit creek of reason?
