New "Mission" of RPF
-
@oldchem I'm feeling that perhaps I should treat the administratorship like The Ring in LOTR...Toss it to the bottom of a volcano before it possesses me.
-
@oldchem nopes, they just seem to be alt right racists and twitter opportunist scumbags now. Just seems like the other extreme to me, and i know Peat said he doesn't care how his message gets out there as long as it does(paraphrasing)i think he would throw pause at racists giving the fact he was vehemently opposed to the idea of eugenics, and i don't recall him ever explicitly claiming it or otherwise, but his rants on infrastructures and governments on Roddy's podcast gave the impression he's a progressive to me, though that assessment might be inaccurate as i've never really cared for politics in general.
Was pretty baffled when i came back to the RPF forum since leaving it in about 2015 to find that was kind of the status quo there though. It just snowballed over to social media and breeded retards like that BAP wannabe "SolBrah" etc
I'm not angry about it though..i'm a little too self aware to truly pay heed or give a real shit about any of this turnaround, but as a passive observer who's been aware of the "Peatsphere" since about 2013-14, it's surprising to see how the community has devolved into disparate political ideologies and theism/Christian Fundamentalist bible thumpers. It was a lot more grassroots way back.
Also, i don't ever remember Charlie not being an absolute tool. He was just less present in the early days, but the few times he did make an appearance it was clear to most the kind of person he likely is

the rpf admin being an "absentee landlord" in the early days is true. really i don't believe there has been a fundamental change in character, the fella is just experiencing euphoria from having discovered the answer (yet again) and to the detriment of his own board is "participating" a lot more. crazy to think if the fella just stayed as the absentee landlord and spent all his time reading facebook health groups like he always did, there wouldn't have been a downfall.
as for your point about how the early days of the peat-sphere evolved into what the rpf turned into, yeah i don't understand it either. all i can conclude is the truly original posters either got banned or no longer saw value in contributing and it basically just devolved into a bunch of laggards theorizing about how the world will end.
this is typically true for any board, there is always a golden era where you have a handful of personalities providing unique insights, which is why a new board was a good idea even if there wasn't a complete meltdown on the rpf.

@Truth it's interesting that he recommends following a low vitamin A will reduce all your supplements when in reality they are taking a large amount. The whole process sounds insane to me. "I don't feel well because 'I'm buffering' in the detox process.'' In the next few months, we should see results of people trying the low vA diet. I'm interested to see what the reaction will be on the forum.
I'm not sure Katherine has a large case to sue and win. I do not like what the RPF is doing to his legacy. TBD, I haven't liked it since Charlie became the "Law and Order Admin" in 2018 or 2019(I have since forgot). This is why I'm glad Ray's work has been preserved mostly his website. I reference it at least once a week.

It's too bad he can't look at a person and tell if they're hypothyroid. (Much easier to diagnose than subclinical A toxicity.) Mr. Smith looks unhealthy and hypo to me.

You are not sure Katherine has a case to win?
Why do you think that?
This isn’t about libel. Defamation. Or slander.
This is about his work- protected by copyright law.Would like to know your thoughts.
Thx

What Christian denomination(s) do Charlie, Garret, ICA, and Blossom belong to? Anyone know for sure?
When the bodybuilders found Ray Peat was when the "community" went from scholarly nerdy types to bro culture, and events since 2016 and covid made the fundies and racists feel more emboldened. Interesting no one ever points out the seething misogyny in all these spaces. That's just to be expected I suppose.
-
@Light Yep misogyny is unacceptable, but on the rise, heck here in the UK some Politicians cannot define what a Woman is!, depressing state of affairs
As a Male I am somewhat embarrassed by BRO talk on here, and RPF. -
@Not_James_Bond you could always say something about it to your fellow males. In the multiple calls for violence against women and rape of underage girls on RPF I've never seen a dude say that's not ok. Yet men apparently were opposed to women having a private women-only space.
-
@Light which is why a lot of women who used to comment 2012-2013 left RPF. Ironic since so much of Peat's work was dedicated to women's health and we were run off
-
@Light Since I got banned for telling an Elton John joke on RPF (a long time ago) I will try to call it out here.
-
Off topic, but you know the worst thing about getting suddenly banned is you don't get to say goodbye. So those who are following your experiments and posts probably think you died. I thought this about someone who disappeared from the RPF last October. Looking back at his anti Smith and Genereux posts I'm pretty sure he was banned without warning. I hope he'll join us here. I have a lot of questions for him.
-
@S-Holmes Yep, People disappear, and you don't know the reason, a bereavement if you will, its sad.
-
the Perry guy used to say something. Pretty consistently iirc.
I’ve certainly said something.
That’s when I thought the RPF was a relatively healthy space.
Man or woman: acting like a fcking asshole needs to be addressed.
Say something yourself.
Don’t expect anyone to help you online but you. -
@Peatful Not my job to stand up to woman-hating males. And it's certainly not your place to tell me what to do. Males need to clean up their own filth. Ps how TF do you know I didn't?? Funny, I sure didn't see you, or anyone, backing me up when I was attacked and harassed by several vile males for "saying something."

@CurmudgeonApple He was a Marxist. Not an orthodox one I think, but he saw the ideas as scientific. It defined his work in a way, and as we know he was by and far quite positive about the Soviet Union, particularly Lenin (whose theoretical works he thought were very advanced) and Stalin.
