    If you really want to laugh at Conservapedia, read the Lenski Dialog.

    Conservapedia used to be funny to browse when it started up and it was just full of retarded people you could laugh at, there are way too many people there now though pretending to be serious about it but just seeing what the hell they can get away with posting.

    I absolutely refuse to click on a single link. The Satan Snake said you can't make me go there!

    The opposite is pretty much the case. Conservapedia, when it first came to light, was an open wiki anyone could edit, and much wackiness and parody ensued. Now it requires registration and people are banned at the drop of a hat. The people left editing entries there now are the hard core true believers.

    Idiots are idiots everywhere. Doesn't matter what they believe, really, there is little difference between them.

    Afraid not, on another forum I visit I know of quite a few posters who are prolific posters on Conservapedia.

    It's a shame really, since it was all batshit insane enough when it was sincere.
