I am sure you really do not need me to explain how RW is a broken site and how it allows (and lots of other) symptoms like Mona to evolve.

Since fucking when? He's right wing as all fuck. He's the kind of terrible person the vast majority of liberals wrings their hands about and passes out with an attack of the vapors.
What fucking retard just pulled this lie out of his ass?

Actually, it couldn't hurt. The OP could use a bit of an update.

Actually a bit more detail would be nice. Do you think the problems predate David Gerard? Do you think they could ever be fixed? Do you think the "SJW" (I don't particularly like that term) or the anti-semitism thing is the biggest problem or something else entirely?
The problems are inherent in the very nature of the site from the moment of creation: "A site we were on kicked us off, let's go talk about them elsewhere and maybe also build a non-quality controlled science resource while we're at it."
Like I mentioned before, the problems of the site would exist regardless of whether the current people are there or if DG had never showed up, because the "The rules only matter when we want them to matter (and if you don't like it you're a god damned fascist sperg)" mindset goes back to some of the founding members of the site and some of the old community heavies. Same chimpouts, just different names.

The problem is that if you make a Venn diagram for Editing Wikis, Euphoric Atheism and Crippling Autism it'd just be a circle.

I suspect some of you know a lot more about RW than I do. But as a reasonably close observer, my take is:
The place was a clusterfuck from day 1. Now, it is just a clusterfuck of a different type. Just replace Conservapedia with whatever the latest SJW obsession is.
A huge contributing factor to that mess is a complete lack of guidelines/rules/framework. A site of that nature cannot thrive when there are virtually no controls on what the member base can and cannot get away with. There absolutely have to be guidelines and those need to be enforced consistently . The whole mobocracy thing is a cop out and a crock of shit. This is why mega wikispergs like Ryulong thrived there (as his buddyloids still do), truly ridiculous individuals like Castaigne find it to be a comfortable home, and yes, we have Mona.
The whole "we love socks" thing is especially stupid and a recipe for mayhem. You can't even get away with that here at Kiwi-land, as Boris the Arisboch quickly found out.
Gerard is an awful figurehead. He protects those who toe his line, as he did with Ryulong for so long, and insidiously undermines those who do not. Ryulong is though just such a self-destructive fool that even Gerard's white-knighting was not enough in the end. A good opposite example is Carpetsmoker who Gerard attempted to publicly shame for doing nothing more than attempt to rescue the site.
It's all a shame really as totally against the odds, there is actually some very good content there. I hope that when the site finally implodes for good, that content is moved on.

I'll work on it. Thanks for letting me know.
Edit: Updated. I also added a whole cast of characters and briefly explained who each major player in this drama is. If there's anyone else I missed, please let me know.

Good work. There are other "interesting" players of course... but too much detail on that is probably out of place in the OP.
Maybe mention that (perhaps ironically) RW has been a key player in prolonging the natural life of Gamergate with their dumb articles like Timeline of Gamergate ?

Thanks.
By the way, the hillarious edit war on the Bernie Sanders page is still going on (http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Bernie_Sanders&curid=171784&diff=1660955&oldid=1660949) even after mod lock was applied and quickly reverted...

For a site called Rational Wiki, none of this makes any sense to me.

When hetero men or lesbians don't want to fuck chicks with dicks. In more retardedly entitled tranny circles they flip right the fuck out at this and accuse anyone who'd turn down sex based on the presence of a penis of being transmisogynistic bigots on the same level as faggotbashing neo-nazis, and basically use the concept of a 'cotton ceiling' as a way of coercing people into fucking them.

But why cotton and why ceiling?
And I thought whom people fuck based on which criteria is the individual decision of every single human being...

Nope. If it's crazy trannies, they have the right to sex from anyone they want and you're literally Hitler if you aren't into dick.

Glass ceiling but for panties. And thinking that way doesn't help coerce any socjus idiots into sucking my ladystick now, does it?
