Yes, we had the misfortune to meet on that particular forum, which is probably best left in the past. I knew you posted over here but I have seen that this forum reins in the worst of the excesses permitted over there.
It sounds like you have a story to tell.
I've been a member here for a long time but usually only read the topics because as I said, Biology has largely passed me by. I am a huge fan of Dawkins and was once a huge fan of Randi until my experiences over at the JREF made me reconsider my position on him.
Well, you know, Randi himself has never had anything to do with the JREF
forums. In fact, he doesn't even run the JREF itself any more. Just because it's named after him doesn't mean that he personally approves of everything that happens on the forums that he has never administered of the institution that he is no longer in charge of.
What happened to the Severus Snape avatar?
I just like the "A" avatar better. Apart from anything else, some people thought that the Snape avatar was a picture of me, rather than realizing that it's a picture of the actor Alan Rickman. It's a bit of a let-down when they discover that in real life I'm small, shy, boyish, and have a tendency to giggle.
