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, presumably User:Sophie Wilder 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. However, she apparently came here to harass him.

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)

In other words, you support childrape. --109.163.234.2 00:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

That has to be the most epic response ever. Leucosticte (talk) 00:18, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

I wonder if there is a way to show to the rest of the world that wikiindex is a portal for pedophiles. I don't have a popular blog, but there must be a way. Does wikiindex get there funding from somewhere, let's find out. --62.210.129.149 00:26, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

It's a portal for everyone and everything wiki-related. To document web collaborations and the information and opinions they disseminate, and to welcome members of those sites to participate in improving said documentation, does not imply an endorsement. By that logic, Wikipedia would be a portal for white nationalists/separatists/supremacists/etc. because it has an article on Metapedia. If it were necessary to dissociate from everyone with held some views one didn't agree with, it be necessary to dissociate from everyone. We can discuss the semantics of childrape more thoroughly elsewhere; this is not really the place. Leucosticte (talk) 00:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
