Barbara Shack is one of the stranger members of that already strange group of users that make up RationalWiki. She joined RationalWiki 10 December 2007.
Her oddly-worded articles tend to focus on the Roman Catholic Church and their sexual prejudices. Initially, she worked in a sort of vacuum, with no one willing to touch her work, possibly because they didn't want to validate it by correcting it. However, with time, others have grown more comfortable with her, perhaps beginning with Human's drastic rewrite of her byzantine "Magdalene laundries" article. Presumably users no longer fear being struck down by AKjeldsen if they encourage her.
Barbara Shack initially refrained from interacting with the other users (much like Icewedge), possibly out of shyness. Lately, however, she has demonstrated a willingness to talk with others, a trend that will hopefully continue. Nonetheless, others' first impressions of her are harder to fade, and even the most radical atheists on the site, such as Bob M and SusanG, seem in no hurry to hang out with her.
She really doesn't like her article here.
Here on RWW, she also seems to be very concerned with Elassint's mental health, and the possibility that Hans Johnson might be trying to provoke poor E.'s untimely death at his own hands.
