RationalWiki
From Conservapedia
RationalWiki is a website where people complain about Conservapedia and bitch at each other. It is also the inspiration for this fine site, which is over 9000 times betterer. RationalWiki is frequently disrupted by trolls because of their tolerance of the troll's idiocy, and their apparent inability to tell friend from foe.

Foundation
The foundation of RationalWiki 1.0 remains controversial. According to the LA times it was founded by one Doctor Peter Lipton , while others maintain that a shadowy figure known only as "Collin" was responsible. In any event, all the original cabal members were current or ex-Conservapedia editors, who were disgruntled with the regime at CP. Originally, it was where people could go to co-ordinate attacks on CP. Shortly after its inception, RW1, as it subsequently came to be called, was discovered by the sinister TK. He infiltrated its loose security and began counter-operations (basically by banning all RW users from CP), resulting in the elimination of the original chaotic wiki, and its re-creation as the open, and more functional, successor, RW2.
Today
The better-known RW2 was launched in the wee hours between May 21 and 22, 2007. It's objectives are
- Analyzing and refuting the anti-science movement, ideas and people.
- Analyzing and refuting the full range of crank ideas.
- Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism.
Many suspect however that not all ties have been cut between the two wikis, and that editors from both RW and CP continue to edit each others' wikis. Notwithstanding this, a number of RW editors have expressed a desire to have no further part of CP and simply to follow their own agenda, of preparing for a "Post Conservapedia" world.
