There has been some ill-feeling about certain issues, but nothing about the way crackpot theories are treated.
I don't think that you'd breach the FUA of this site by reporting what was said somewhere else about a specific mod.
I can only recall one mod at RDF who used his own name, so how can these individuals be identified?
Name an ex-RDF mod who has been shunned or considered badly in professional circles.
Give some examples of offences by ex-RDF mods which anyone outside of RDF (or TAF or Rationalia) gives a toss about.
Well that explains your confusion. I was referring to the moderators who had gone a little power crazy at RDF in general. Not specifically to "crackpot" theories at all. If anything the science situation was better at RDF than here. Far more considerate. More like IRL science. Well not surprising because there were more scientists popping in at RDF just due to his name.
Anyway you have made my point for me without me having to breach the FUA by naming forums with a high meetup rate where those past activities became an ongoing issue for.
