Before there is yet another outbreak of disingenuous accusations of "bullying", "harrassment", "stalking", or any other such really shameless lies, there are a few simple and obvious questions I'd like to see answered beforehand by anyone who thinks of resorting to that infantile tactic yet again:

*********************************

1. Why did Jeff name this website "Rigorous Intuition"?

2. Why did he name this particular board "General Discussion"?

3. a) Why did he create a separate board and name it "Data Dump"? b) Why did stillrobertpaulsen maintain that distinction and introduce an entirely new board called "Current Events"? (Why did he feel he had to?)

4. a) Why did Rory -- now permanently departed, and god knows not for no reason -- start a thread entitled "Rhetoric and the Art of Collaborative Discussion"?

b) How is anyone supposed to discuss anything -- collaboratively or at all -- when 2 posters dominate * the Rigorous Intuition Discussion Board with acre upon acre upon acre of copied-and-pasted verbiage they are either not prepared to defend or else wholly incapable of defending (or taking responsibility for)?

*************************************



* Those two posters have 50,000 posts between them. Fifty thousand. At a rough estimate, that is 50,000,000 words. Fifty million words. And very few of those words are their own words, or any kind of rational contribution to any kind of discussion at all.

The Rigorous Intuition Discussion Board was hijacked four years ago when Project Willow stepped down as the last co-mod, then gradually and deliberately run into the ground by Wombaticus Rex. At the very least he was indifferent to the survival of this place and called himself, elsewhere, "The Last Moderator". (Yes, I can substantiate this.) This time last year he had been AWOL for over two months while posting away to his Twitter account. It was at least three months after that before he re-appeared on this board, without a single word of explanation or apology.

This time last year there were, to all intents and purposes, only 2 active posters left here, replying to themselves incessantly by recycling other people's copied-and-pasted words. I need not name those 2 posters.

It was not a healthy place, to say the least.
