New "Mission" of RPF
-
The Dr. Stephens stuff put the spotlight back on a lot of Ray Peat principles.
-
"Case No, 24-251, regarding Dr. Smith, will be reviewed by the Board at the meeting of July 11, 2024. The meeting will be held virtually."
This is the latest. This is the second review of Dr. Smith. -

Seems like raypeatforum is making a comeback. Lots of active threads lately.
lol who cares? even if it went back to what it was, the damage is done and the asshole who owns it will just go through another cycle of mania at some point anyway

is charlie really just a man trying to make money in an illegitimate way... kind of upsetting but I guess it is what it is sometimes

You are referring to….?
Hijacking Peat’s work without acknowledgement (although using his name as the domain)
Or something else? -
Here, please.

oops. I was typing the post late at night and might have posted it by accident
the rest of the post is probably gone from my head now..
probably what you said though.

Is difficult when its velocity is directed or misdirected.

This is not a court of law. And entry into force of alteration to commercial law should probably be delayed after passing and not applied ex post facto.

q4h, if that does not make sense to you. You now have 14 days to read around and interpret it before you respond.
Thank you.

I don't think I will ever understand at this rate.

You will. No rush, q4h3

I've lurked on the RPF for years and it was a godsend in many ways. But I'm so dismayed about the cult it has become, which has as little to do with RP and objectivity as possible, and viciously attacks everyone who even slightly thinks differently.
I saw this post this morning about some dude's self-experimentation with penis enhancement, another dude asks what looks like a genuine question about it, then he gets slammed for being a demon and the discussion locked so he can't even defend himself and nobody else can talk about the topic.
This is wild shit calling a dude a demon for not being lock step with the values of their Christian sect and the "no vitamin A" stuff.

It's not fun posting when you don't know what's acceptable from minute to minute.
Charlie made it the toxic bile theory forum which I assumed was because the forum had aligned with Garrett Smith and I also assumed members would get banned for posting anything bad about the guy.
Then Garrett upsets charlie by disagreeing with some current narrative and now you can dump on him all you want.
So you have to check the forum owners last few posts to find out what's acceptable speech which creates an unhealthy environment. It resembles a virtual police state/dictatorship.

@Insomniac I think I remember you from the good old days of RPF. If that's true, it's great to see you here
Yup, this new pseudo-RPF is a hostile place if you decide to think for yourself and/or ask questions that emotionally trigger some of the super-christians there. Perceive, think, act indeed -
@OliverCloasov
It seems that charlie accuses people exactly of the things that he is doing.
psychologically speaking it that is the repressed shadow trying to find a way to make itself free/heard. -
The RPF is currently unreadable from fireworks animations all over the page. Thanks Charlie!
Edit: looks like it was removed right as I posted this.
-
@VehmicJuryman It's a day early anyways, lol.
-
Interesting to hear Charlie has had a falling out with Smith. Didn't think this movement would fall apart this fast.

Man, I remember reading RPF over the years and being blown away by how it was one of the only sources I could find for "alternative" approaches to health. Seemed like most health queries, even the most esoteric ones, people had already discussed it there. So it was an amazing repository of knowledge, of people who had already experimented with certain things and given their experience with it.
Such an incredible shame at the state it's in now.
I always think though, no platform or website is anything without its users. There's nothing special about the code there. It was the users that provided all the value. Any rinky dink coded site could be amazing with the right users and the knowledge base that accumulates there.

The low toxin lifestyle followers on the "Ray Peat Forum" are reporting that the low vitamin A diet is making them sick.
