What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and a reasonable hypothesis? Right now it’s about twelve months. Just after COVID hit, attempts were made to label calling it WuFlu a hate crime. Somehow identifying it with China was supposed to lead to attacks on Asian people. But now it’s OK to call variants after countries. […]

How can Ricochet users get the most out of Ricochet moderation? That’s a question many users seem to have, and mods@ricochet.com is a key part of the answer. The mods@ricochet.com account is a joint account shared by all the Ricochet moderators and administered by Ricochet super-admin, Max Ledoux. This account also ties directly into Ricochet’s […]

Re: Code of Conduct and its implementation: What first interested me in Ricochet was Peter and Rob. I knew of them both and liked them both very much. Also, I trusted their judgment and professionalism. I knew Peter from reading about him and Rob from National Review (“The Long View”). I disliked the comment sections […]

I can’t find a link, but I am pretty sure that quite recently, Ricochet instructed Members that Posts were intended to be original and not just consist of a title, tags, and/or linked video or essays. Members could launch from a vid or essay, but had to actually write some conversation starter, not just post […]

[Editors’ Note: With the author’s permission, this post has been pinned to the Member Feed.] Have you ever been at a large party?  People form clusters (unless you are a wallflower like me) that ebb and flow, break up and reform elsewhere, gather at the bar or the snack table, sneak off for some private […]

We are faced with a national election choice that none of us wished for.  It’s not the sort of election we’d even wish on our enemies (well, maybe).  We are down now to 3 competing camps here on Rico, and membership in these camps is far from settled (and won’t be completely settled until November […]

Dear Editors and Moderators, I’ve just finished a short spring break trip with the family.  We live in a Northern VA and took a few days to explore a few Civil War sites beyond our typical day trip scope.  We visited Washington & Lee University and toured the Lee Chapel and museum.  We also visited […]

When I was a kid in school, I looked up to teachers. They didn’t always like me very much (my teachers seemed to prefer quiet kids to inquisitive ones), but even when I didn’t like how my teachers treated me, I understood that I had to obey them. Of course, for seven of my twelve […]

For newcomers around these parts gather ’round. I’ve got a little story to tell you. Once upon a time there was a brilliant young man on Ricochet named Kenneth. Man, could he write. But there were times, oh yes, there were times when he burned so brightly he hurt – hurt himself, hurt others and […]

 The problems with any set of rules occur at the boundaries of those rules.  Gross infractions are easy to spot, but even the best of rules has gray areas.  You just cannot anticipate all of the ways that people will creatively re-interpret laws, or find valid (or pseudo-valid) exceptions to the rules. This chicken-excrement controversy […]

I just flagged my own comment, as I couldn’t figure out how to edit or delete it.  I presume there’s a timeout on edits.  I took a guy to task for a comment in what I felt was a civil if gobsmacked and horrified way, and he was mortified, took it down, and I didn’t […]

Look I’m fine with extensive arguments, with long debates, with disagreements over politics, but some of us have noticed that the tone around here has gotten just nasty.  I’m not naming names, but I am putting up a notice of some of the most egregious forms of the rampant rudeness. Ricochet is NOT Youtube.  It […]

On the last Ricochet podcast, the idea was offered that a group of moderators be empowered to handle the tone of the conversation/s he or she would moderate.  Since we have a code of conduct which can be applied, empowering moderators to apply that code of conduct might prove iffy. There are people here whom […]
