What is going on at RationalWiki?

Check out what's going on in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is RationalWiki! Here you can mock document any sort of drama or otherwise lulzworthy events. Be sure to vote on your favorites, or otherwise knock a lousy author down a notch. If you see something not already documented, please add it. If in doubt, add it anyway (as some RW editors can barely keep track and use this page as a valuable resource) and watch it crash and burn let the voters decide.
