Wow. Shame on you for trying to put the blog post that was referenced by others into context, aerik. Don't you know when context is provided it often makes the issues clearer and people then look stupid for jumping on the rumor and insult wagon. That just takes all the fun out of being an immature judgmental whiner. Why must you ruin everyone's fun?

Seriously, is that what passes for valid criticism these days?

Wow, Kelly is so hot.

No it's a fascist nazi group.  Janice Rael/Godstopper is proud to moderate message boards like a gestapo.  She went to IIDB to become a mod, even though there were reason to dislike them, because she liked having the ability to censor people.  I'm not exaggerating I'm recounting real conversations with her.  Ask Jake about how when someone posed a thread about beastiality back in the day on the AN she was so restrictive about the speech she told Jake that if he didn't ban the user she would leave.  This was at a time when we all tried to embrace her even though she has a closet of problems that rivals Jeffrey Dahmer.  Thankfully Jake doesn't take well to ultimatums from Nazi cuntlicks who have low self esteem and stab the people in the back who try to protect her.

More on that cunt coming soon.
 

I'd have ignored it too if not for Stopper quoting the hit piece about Braden. That felt like a knife in my side, really it did. She quoted that shit as if that guy had a real point to make.

Her favorite part about IIDB was the fascism.  That's why she went there.  She wanted to be able to censor as much as possible.

I got tied up tonight Aerik.  I talked with the stickam room in a vague manner about this.  In order to vindicate myself, I'd end up putting a chink in the career of someone who I feel is more important to the cause than myself.  Maybe their desire to see me stay quiet on this, plus my lost post earlier is a sign from Jake.  I don't care what people think of me, I care about the cause.  I can take a few hits on the chin from people who lack necessary faculties, for the good of the cause.

Do you know the entire truth... because you came close but missed a little of it.  Do you want it at the expense of "you-know-who" being outed?  In case it's not clear, I don't care if you cheat on your wife, I care if the woman who you cheat with is a detriment to the cause due to hypocrisy involving sex though.  You can read between the lines, but I can't see how you'd fully get it if I didn't break it all down.  I think the closest I should get are vague references.  So... do I waste the time or not?

As I understood it, the RRS's main problem (and mine alike) with Anonymous's dealings with Scientology was their illegal activities, not their protests.  The RRS's position was actually one of social responsibility and accountability and an opposition to vigilante acts. It had nothing to do with their supporting Scientology.

I'll think about it for the next 5 hours, but we might have our show topic for tonight.

Why certain people at RnR who think they are freethinkers, are in actuality gigantic fucking morons.  We may also start telling stories about how insecure, insane, sick, and back stabbing, the cunt Janice Rael is.  I think I'll spend at least 5 minutes recounting the desire of Janice Rael to run a board like a Nazi.  We'll have Jake on for a minute (if he cares enough to show up) so he can return fire for all the times she has lied and misrepresented the story of her childish, immature, and very non-freethinker activity on the atheist network, that out of respect he has stayed silent (like me) for apparently way too long.  

I'll think about it, maybe we'll just touch it for a few minutes. 

And Lpetrich, your comments over there have me thinking much less of you.  Way to step down on the totem pole.  You like those retards? 

RRS really kicks ass!

Aerik, and company... for now you should know this post was written about the situation that Godpooper referenced (she must really hate RD, be a moron, or be butthurt about our letter to her 3 days ago when she begged us to remove Latnijral and we said no) at the time.

This post is about the issue at hand, but nobody knew that until now because we've done everything we could to protect "you-know-who."

Wtf are you talking about with "protecting you-know-who"?  Is that supposed to imply that your recent asshatery has some kind of benevolent purpose?

slightly off topic but i'm curious.  it's a violation of federal law to post e-mail communications? 

It depends on the circumstances.  For example if you send a message to our contact section, it says the following...

If you notice there have been several times when I have posted my letter to someone but not their letter to me.  Here is an example from months ago.  And believe me, the letter was hilarious, I really wanted to post it.  Notice the disclaimer I added in order to be able to reproduce future emails. 

In case she decides to pull it, here is her criminal activity...

Now you might ask.... how can I post the above?  The answer is because fair use law allows you to post public communications for the purposes of parody, criticism, or commentary.  So far I have commentated on the event, a judge would likely see me as being self defensive as well.  Furthermore I can add a tinge of parody to the article by noting that the sexy picture of Janice is a poor representation of her.  She's more like a 380 pound whale, not that I have anything against people being overweight, I just find the deceit to be funny. 

Here is the real Janice Rael...

That was about 5 months ago.

This was about 19 months ago...

Now before you go getting all upset that it's rude to point these pictures out, keep in mind that first of all Janice is peddling libel about me which she has to be an idiot to believe considering the very long history I have with her.  I have always done everything I could to be nice to her.  Remember the special forum I mad for "Godstopper Activism" for her when she got kicked off of IIDB for stabbing them in the back?  Even though I disagreed with both her and IIDB, I tried to support the cause and support her.  She resigned from all activism (she was board member of several groups, and simply abandoned them due to how butthurt she was that nobody would pay her way (the right move on their part).  None of those groups jumped to get her back, something all activist groups do when they lose someone valuable, however they seemed to know she was a piece of high maintenance baggage.

Oh back to her being a 400 pound whale and pretending like she's a hot sexy chick.  This isn't some lazy condition she's had from birth.  Here is Janice and I from about 6 years ago:

Oh right back to her criminal activity....

Jake will be in the stickam room tonight to explain the censorship aims and the lack of freethought in the mind of Janice Rael, I too will be talking smack about the backstabbing deceitful criminal activities of Janice Rael, Godstopper, Everlasting Godstopper.  Show begins 8pm est, rants and raves children are welcome to come.  We'll be glad to be an open book.

What's amazing to me is that the same person who created this obnoxious adhom post managed to get a respected author like Michael Shermer to even glance your way, much less respond to your sophomoric understanding of his work.  

How do you figure you manage that?

Was it the youtubes, "Sapient"?

As for this not being an adhom? <scoff>  Fucking pretentious loser, go put more dollar bills in titz thong.   You are the living proof of the potential of the internet to help people rise way above their intellectual abilities.

Hi guys,

I'm Matt from RnR as you've probably figured out from my screen name.

Could somebody please fill me in as to what the fark is happening?

Basically, I see some sort of pissing contest between Janice and Brian.

If that's the case, could you two get a farking room and stop shitting all over our respective forums?

 I just popped by to say thanks and sorry, all in one super efficient post.

The thanks is for the lulz. The apology is for having 'em at your expense.

Just remember kids: Teh Internets are serious business!

P.S. Matt: don't you dare rob us of our fun filled, exploding dramabombs.

This is totally off-topic but I had to put in my $0.02 on this comment.  Allowing people to reply in that fashion encourages people to just shout without thinking.  Nothing personal, but we already have enough of that.

See, idiotic replies like this would be a lot more common if there was a text box. Most people take the time to think through their comment when hitting the reply button and it can often lead to one realizing that what they are about to say is either irrelevant or a non sequitur ,and deciding not to expose their own reading comprehension problems by posting it (above example excluded).

It is obvious to any intelligent person that Shelley did not say "Allowing people to reply is bad for 'free thought'". People are allowed to reply here. Even those who make vacuous posts like the one above.

We did, thanks.

tru that^^ i wuz thar, she posted mad emails! retaliation of fat pic waz "rational" awesomeness

These are all intended in the spirit of friendship. I say this with total seriousness: these ideas will change  your life.

1) Put the text box at the bottom of the page. Save a click. Trust me, this forum can't get any dumber.

2) Put some links to navigate thread pages at the top, so people can jump to whatever page they want without scrolling.

3) I didn't see a place for themes. If you don't have 'em, get 'em. Being stuck in this white on black theme is kind of a bummer.

4) Implement a reputation system. That way, the true bad ass posters will be known by their reputation. There will be no further confusion about who the toughest guy on the Internet is.

I'll post more thoughts and suggestions as they occur to me. Guys, I really think if we work together we can make something of this place!

Official Test Thread Here!

Since apparently you couldn't navigate yourself to the first link in capital letters on the homepage yourself.

Again, spelled out a little more clearly for the hard of comprehending, there was nothing in the post you referenced about any type of post being 'not allowed'. There was something about not allowing a certain means of posting. This is in no way a restriction of free thought.  I also don't think you know what free thought references. Free thought is not synonymous with freedom of speech, which is what you seem to be suggesting. Maybe you should think for at least a couple of seconds before you post. This is not your normal board where people are encouraged to just spout off any non-sense that pops into their head. You are allowed to, but you surely won't be respected for it.

But wait!  If what you say is true, how do you explain Brian Sapient's recent nasty personal attack against Janice Rael concerning her wait.  It happened in this very thread.  Do you think that the time "thinking" about it lead him to make this choice, despite his how making comments like that are going to hurt his image even further, no matter what Janice does?

I'm not Brian Sapient, but it seems to me he thought about his post and decided he wanted to post it anyway. It is not just a few short sentences of no real substance such as you often see when  one is encouraged to post whatever pops into their head but a ready and waiting text box. As far as his image goes, that doesn't effect me in the least so is none of my concern.
