Template talk:RationalWiki

What is this for? Sophie Wilder (talk) 13:18, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

It's because it's a multilingual project. So, rather than repeat the same text on multiple articles, they just transclude a template. It would probably be better to dispense with it, since each language typically has its own culture, goings-on, etc. so there could be potential to say a lot of different things about each individual wiki in the farm.

I want to debate this but the thought of talking with a child rape apologist disgusts me. Sophie Wilder (talk) 13:26, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

What's the point of saying so? According to the logic that people on your side use, it's not going to change what anyone believes. This is not a dramacracy like RationalWiki either. Leucosticte (talk) 13:50, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Sophie Wilder, who is likely the Sophie from RationalWiki, reverted Leucosticte with an uncivil edit summary, reflecting common "RationalWiki" practice. This is, indeed, not RationalWiki. I've reverted, restoring Leucosticte's response. If Sophie does not want to "debate" with Leucosticte, she is free to ignore his comments. There was nothing here that would be offensive, except for Sophie's comment, which was utterly irrelevant and highly personal.

Leucosticte is provocative, to say the least, but has no record of sexual offenses, and whatever he does support -- Leucosticte is evasive on that, for complex reasons -- rape of any kind isn't included. --Abd (talk) 00:10, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Personally, I'd be fine with this entire exchange deleted, there is nothing here of enduring value to wikiindex. --Abd (talk) 00:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
