@Luke She’s been around from the beginning, she used to post under the name Sugarbabe. Then something happened in her marriage and she went full fundamentalist Christian.

@Truth I think you’re right. He hasn’t lifted my ban and I don’t think he will because my comment was about it being unethical to keep the forum going in Ray’s name and that claiming to be “improving” on Ray’s work was disrespectful. I sent him an email and didn’t get a response. Meanwhile I was there 10 years and never even had a warning.
Noted re: the Christ alone lady. I really don’t know much about her story except that she used to be Sugarbabe and was around from way back in the day. Then it seemed like a 180 when she became so religious.

@peatyourmeat I actually wonder if it’s legitimate delusion or if he was some sort of sleeper agent all this time. Now charged with making sure Ray’s work stays fringe.
The newfound openly Christian dogmatism that's being flamboyantly wielded there as an administrative bludgeon is an anti-intellectual degeneration, in a strict meaning of terms. The consequence of this will be a flight of intelligence (i.e. "brain drain") away from the 'toxic' environment being made. I think Peat's work will always remain moreorless hidden ('fringe') to a radical few and attempts at popularization will inevitably result in people confusing 'the letter' for the 'the spirit of the letter'.
And that gets translated in many ways, such as "Calcium:Phosphate 'did nothing for me", "Niacinamide 'did nothing for me'", and apocalyptic prose about an impending salvific "Regeneration" (ostensibly initiated by the human liver) which sanctions the above implied utterly disastrous tunnel vision (e.g. limited to bowel movements) that fractures and self-destructs what was a really innovative and radical internet space.

How old is this guy to act like a kid that need attention like that. Once more Ray was the real hero even in his behavior. Because truth doesn't need all kind of manipulations and vicious way to promote an idea. This guy has some serious need to make money and keep his buiness running.
-
@jwayne omg YES!
"Calcium:Phosphate 'did nothing for me" --- so bang on brilliant."Did nothing for me" should be the new forum name.
-
@Regina Every time I go on that forum I can hear Genesis-Land of Confusion playing in my head lol
-
@Not_James_Bond Tragic.
The "I'm really not smart; I'm in fact highly ignorant. But, for sure I should be the shot caller. I'm aggressively righteous about that." is the prevailing theme these days. -
@Regina I love seeing some old faces, so to speak on this new forum, it's going from strength to strength
-
@Not_James_Bond Yayy!!!

@Harlock I so agreed with all your responses as well as those of @ilovethesea on this thread on RPF. I have only been on the RP forum for just over a year and I am still in the stages of reading and learning. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to explore it and read some of Ray Peat's work before the prominent yellow label section was added to the top of the RP forum list. I can't imagine how confusing it is to someone completely new and hoping to learn more about Ray Peat's ideas, especially when the owner/moderator of the forum is the one leading it all and the material is no longer labeled as "Anti-Peat".
-
So I went over to the Ray Peat Forum for a look see. Now you have to agree to Charlie's Terms and Rules in order to see any discussion posts. I'm not doing it. Oh well.... Nothing to see there anymore anyway. The Wiki is still accessible without agreeing to Charlies Terms and Rules.
-
@jwayne Does anyone know, was he always a fundie? I don’t recall him weaving religion into every post until recent years. I do remember from the very beginning he had an authoritarian streak that was at odds for someone running a “Ray Peat forum”.
You would think exposure to Ray’s work would expand his mind for the better but he’s just become more close minded and tyrannical over time. It just doesn’t add up.
-
@mostlylurking I’m still so angry at what’s he’s done. Stolen all our content to profit from and we can’t even access it ourselves.

@ilovethesea What I can point out is that the type of religious extremism he now embraces is a very American thing and hence innately bound up with geopolitics which are exactly counter to Ray Peat's, as anyone can find from his interviews or even from what's contained in the philosophy of his books. Charlie now moreorless openly says "Vitamin A toxicity" critics are Satan incarnate.

Reading through the Terms Agreement was quite the eye opener for me. Coupled with Charlie's dogmatic authoritarian personality it's a no go.
I think we have been had. Oh, well.... It's not the first time.
On with the rest of my life!

I think that the extremism you describe is based in low energy. I mean on the molecular level. It takes a whole lot more energy to keep an open questioning mind than it does to grasp onto someone else's dogma and hold on tight so you don't fly off into the abyss.
Americans in general have been poisoned and brain washed. When they/we snap out of it, there's going to be some interesting times. It appears that Tucker Carlson has taken up the mission to awaken them/us.

@mostlylurking Yes please based CIA man please awaken the poor americans

Of course you might be correct. However, I think the CIA declined to accept him. But I did catch that line from Putin and I did research it a little on line.
The recent shorts Tucker filmed in Russia are eye opening; I liked the subway station tour the best I think. Fabulous mosaics on the walls, with immaculate chandeliers hanging above. The grocery store tour was pretty good too.
I suspect the timing on this might be part of a grand orchestration. We'll see.
