I was recommended here by some great people on an atheist group on Facebook.

+1. I saw LIFE's post on Rationalia and came straight over and signed up. I think I was 6th to join.

I was hanging out at another atheist site that was relatively new and small. One day all these refugees wandered through and I was curious what all the hubbub was about so I followed them.

Hey Gregg, I found you, nice to see you here. Jump in and row, it's a lot of fun.

Actually, I googled "How to deal with conspiracy theorists" and came across this forum.

In a year or 2 you will realize that walking away is the best response. If they are serious about research they will figure it out. If not, there isn't one thing you can say that will change their minds.

I've walked away already. A ten year friendship gone out the window. I enjoy healthy debate, but it wasn't even a debate anymore, it was "you're wrong, I'm right. end of story. you're not with me. you're against me"

I found it by thinking aloud, rather I was searching the internet to find other possible misotheist or misanthropes and decided to join because I also like skeptics

Pretty much the same thing, kinda tripped over and landed here.

Though I must say that bar a few threads a lot of whats posted is not that rational. Still, can be a very interesting read at times.

I was having an argumen... Debate with a certain person over Youtube about the expanding earth hypothesis. A quick Google search and I found that the debate was also going on here (with half of the participants on Youtube and had been going on for hundreds of pages) and had covered just about every single piece of information I'd mentioned or document I'd referenced and many that I hadn't even considered.
