If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

That being said, I really don't think about her that much, and don't care to any longer. I just don't like her. I can respect the work she does, but she can be the Einstein of virology and still be an an asshole, and I mean that as subjectively as possible. Do you think Greg Laden is an asshole? Do...

You don't think it's "objective" when close to 90% of the hits for Abbie mentions something about RW or elevator gate? I guess you can lead a horse to water. What a bizarre line of argument. If you went over to PZ's or Ophelia's (or confronted EB Wachs) claiming that their google profiles were tain...

Hooray!!! Erik is the second poster to make it to my ignore list. Because a) he's a dick, and b) he's a bassist! (redundant?) Are we still doing the bassist jokes? When erik was a kid he asked his Dad for a bass. Daddy says he will only buy him one if he takes proper lessons, so he agrees. After th...

It's not my fault she's more notorius for this feud than she is admired for the great work she's doing in virology. That's all her own doing. I'd be really interested in how you have come to that conclusion. How do you objectively rate "notoriety" in one area against "admiration" in another unrelat...

Erikthebassist-- bravely defending women, but fuck those slobbering and screaming children!! Amirite? Freak. First of all, fuck off Abbie, go obsess over RW some more, seems to be what you're best at. Yeah Abbie! I mean it's not like you don't also try to find the cure to a disease instead of whini...

What I was refuting is that using staying at home to care for children as an example of how women are privileged over men is bullshit. For some people it's a great experience, for others, it's a private hell. In any case, it's not easy and can't be considered to generally be a privilege, unless tha...

Meanwhile, your response indicated that you think staying at home with the kids is a privilege? Well it's certainly a sign that you're quite privileged or you're doing it really, really rough/relying on welfare. Really? So if you are stuck home with the kids, you have it good, or you are on welfare...

So ftr, I had no idea disqus comments auto emailed anybody that commented, I will ditch it post haste, I guess I will have to go unmoderated for now.

And anterior should be alterior,

Putter should be pitter, dyac, on the iPad atm

Oh and just read up thread and realized that skep tickle thinks that was intentional, or is painting that way, typical, I'm not a putter so I must have anterior motives, really a theme in this joint

Skep tickle , read your reply and ty for the visit and comment, sorry about the email, I had no idea, I'll ditch that whole blog and commenting system, it's shit. It will take me a few days to sort out an alternative. Meanwhile, your response indicated that you think staying at home with the kids is...

Hi all. What a lovely forum you have here. Been lurking for a while and enjoying the conversation. Just thought this would be a good time to jump in seeing as how I'm a drummer.

erik, 1) You may be interested in the Ignore function (User CP, Friends & Foes tab). I don't use it but I hear some folks do. 2) I replied at your blog. Re-posted here just cuz I'd prefer not to be tabbing between your blog & Nugent's & the Pit right now: So "dick" is fine* but "cunt" "tears down t...

of ffs sakes huge blockquote fail, figure it out, I'm tired, going to bed.

Look someone posted a video up thread and I watched it, and was inspired by it, posted to my FB wall in fact. So if anybody ever tells me again that the slymepit contains nothing of value, I'll argue that point. And it's clear many of you don't support the most egregious offences committed in the n...

But if someone walks up to me after a gig and says "Man you guys suck.", I'm going to make an assumption that this person is an asshole. Or, you just might suck (in the humble opinion of the audience member). Sure there's been nights when I know that's the case, but it still takes an asshole to wal...

See I'm a musician, I take a stage at least one night a week knowing all eyes will be on me, judging me, my playing, my singing, my clothes, my weight, and I don't necessarily care if some people don't like it, as long as they keep their opinions to themselves. When they don't, which has happened, ...

Depends. Is the joke funny or lame?

Ok so you're an asshole, and proud of it, congrats, I'm done with you.

The whole point about the Conlon/Tethys anecdote was to point out the double standard, but it can't be a double standard because it's from two different people the difference in reaction to each occurence. the different reactions are explained by the fact that they are two different people One is c...

Drummer without a girlfriend?
Homeless.

Next!

What do you call someone that hangs around with musicians all the time?

A drummer

As the Pyt's resident drummer (not joking, I use Tama, and everything), I'm now waiting for the drummer jokes. They'd bloody better be new ones, though, I'm marking you fuckers on originality...

Why do you care about the opinions of strangers and enemies? Because when a stranger or enemy goes to that level, it tells me they aren't decent people, I hate to see indecent people acting like assholes and getting away with. Hey Superman, you aren't real.

Welch, do you think someone who makes a fat joke about someone they don't know in line at a grocery store is an asshole?

It is really quite simple, and as you are a bass player, simple should be right up your alley. Funny, keep em coming, I have plenty of guitar player and drummer jokes to fire back with. You got any examples of you playing? I just found out about this like three days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm fat, I'm ugly, and I have horrible teeth. Feel free to laugh mercilessly at me. Same here, and I do take it personally, so you're fine with it, I'm not, so now, does what I think matter or is only your opinion about fat/ugly/hygiene jokes that matters? Bingo and we shortcut to the answer. Saved...

Funny but I see FTB'ers holding each other accountable for that shit ALL the time, so much so that the culture has changed quite a it over the last two years.

What is your assertion? Start there.

assertion in regard to what? I have plenty of opinions, and I express those, so I'm not sure which one you want me to back up with evidence.

Response to erikthebassist's new blog post (http://whenskepticsattack.com/blog/2013/3/6/dbad-civility-pledges-and-false-equivalence): Calling someone a cunt marginalizes all women, yes, even the one's who aren't personally offended, because it promotes the idea that having a vagina is in and of it'...
