Talk:Essay: RationalWiki user Andrew5, who leans somewhat politically to the right, is an irritating thorn in the side of politically left-leaning RationalWikians and he is an obsessive, officious, serial liar with bad judgment (who is also a wikiholic)

"Given his 3+ month tenure at RationalWiki and his many edits, it appears as if he fits in well at RationalWiki!". I don't read that in the clips presented at all. I read a Discord discussion about a problem user (whom evidently some know from WP) among RW admin, and what to do about him. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 20:33, November 30, 2021 (EST)

Ok. We will agree to disagree then.

But I believe there are plenty of workplaces/clubs where an obsessive, creepy, serial lying weirdo with bad judgment would not last 3+ months if he showed up very regularly.

Furthermore, according to RationalWiki admin Moosolino RationalWiki "attracts all sorts of weird people".Conservative (talk) 21:18, November 30, 2021 (EST)

My local 7-11 attracts all sorts of weird people, too. RW has processes to deal with unwanted or abusive editors, not just arbitrary blocking by anyone with blocking powers. I'm not sure what we disagree about.

Bottomline: Their own words cited in this Essay differ from your conclusion that he "fits right in". Anyone can see that, except possibly you because of your bias and prejudice against RW editors. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 23:12, November 30, 2021 (EST)

Two points:

1) I cite: A RationalWiki editor whose username is Christopher wrote at RationalWiki: "Technically...[User: Conservative at Conservapedia].. "shouldn’t have been banned, the vote to ban him was one short of the 2/3 majority that’s needed according to site policy."[1]

In short, RationalWiki broke its own rules when they permabaned me. According to RationalWiki rules, a permaban requires a 66% majority. RationalWiki permabanned me without such a majority.

But their so-called permaban means nothing. I have several sock puppet accounts there now.

2) RationalWiki bans people for capricious reasons.

File:RationalWiki admin admits its website is becoming an echo chamber of its prominent Administrators.png

On May 23, 2020, a RationalWiki (RW) administrator who goes by the moniker Ace McWicked essentially admits that RationalWiki is becoming an echo chamber of its most prominent administrators. In the above quote, LGM is an acronym for RationalWiki administrator LeftyGreenMario. See: Atheism and groupthink

I have seen various admins like LGM, GrammarCommie, etc ban people for capricious reasons.

Right now, there are debating whether to unban someone and there editing of a wiki they disagree with is being held against them. The wiki is a very close-minded wiki that is an echo chamber. Conservative (talk) 23:52, November 30, 2021 (EST)
