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

I know that's old news, and may have been posted here already, but I like this post by Gurdur (hi Tim!):

Interesting... Michael Shermer is asking for questions. http://whyevolutionistrue.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/picture-32.png I've got a few questions that have recently come to mind but how to phrase them as questions for Deepak Chopra? On anything? How about. Dear Dr Deepak, if you encounter a blu...

Qvestion. Is there anywhere the deleted comment threads from ERV can be viewed, specifically the one from â€œBad Form Rebecca Watsonâ€? Iâ€™d like to take another look to ensure my memory isnâ€™t inflating how PZ immediately shut down any possibility of discussing issued rationally and what a gian...

Whatever the reason, I think PZ deciding to de-moderate his comment section might be a good thing, at least for his blog. I'm very curious as to how this will turn out.

Maybe PZ has had a bit of an epiphany. That's the worst i could wish him: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/dungeon/ So after his posse bully me into moving The Pit Crew, thus requiring me to censor and b& people to follow NatGeos 'guidelines', Myers decides not to nanny HIS comments anymore. ...

And of course, this doesn't mean I'm going to go post there now. I know my presence is not required, and I won't impose it on PZ or his commentors.

"Polite reason"?!? Who's he trying to fool?

In the end you and your commenters set the official tone and behavior of your internet space through the way you act. You can lay down the law but if you put down ill defined rules on any public space, IT WILL BITE YOU ON YOUR ASS. for realsies. Note how the Slimepit is sort of ridiculously civilis...

It was TAM 5 or 6 I think... and it was general knowledge to attendees-- at least the skepchicks and those who hung around them. There have been other skeptics who "disappear" with Michael Shermer for the night. He's very flirtatious. You notice how he has stayed completely out of elevatorgate... I...

I posted this on ERV, but wanted to copy it here: Hey Abbie â€“ you are awarded the title of â€œUD author and commentorâ€, implying to my reading a pro-ID stance (along with Nick Matzke, Larry Moran, and others) http://sandwalk.blogspot.com/2012/07/whats-wrong-with-this-list.html Slimy Sal, at it ...

So, yep!

what sort of snake? I love snakes. Is your kitty home safe? Such a shame MKG is leaving. Although, I can understand where he's coming from. Well, let's try to get the fun going until he comes back. From what has been reported upthread, this might be the most popcorny part of this whole shenanigan. ...

Why would you even ask for a refund? Bad performance?

Very excited, I'm getting my new snake today!!!

This has nothing to do with the current thread (or...does it?)

Guys, leave PZ's kids out of it. Also saying that he will die unloved is also both irrelevant (lots of unpleasant people were loved by their family) and probably untrue. Patrick, Think you are totally wrong. Love to argue about politics with you. Can we take it to http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/view...

I'm listening, Phil. no more. I am really not confortable with involving anyone other than PZ and cie. Can we just drop the sons/daughter stuff? Or am I tone trolling?

Rape culture? :O [youtube]mh_ZXl4a8To[/youtube] Low blow Justin, low blow. Let me raise you one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TJIy_mUSvc Hey, I really like "At the Gates!" I'm just making fun of the idea of the use of the word rape in being such a bad thing always. The song is "Blinded by Fear"....

And there is no way, form or kind in which I will involve PZ's family in this matter. Leave the kids alone!

The bolding is mine - others can see it straight off the bat; PZ either can't, or refuses to.

Well, 'Julian' now has blocked me on Twitter...ending with http://i.imgur.com/kovss.jpg following my mention that the SlymePit might not exist if #ftbullies didn't target people. Funny. Because, of course, D.J. Grothe, Staks Rosch, Stef McGraw.... weren't treated poorly. lol, wut? lol, wut, indeed!

Ok, I found the solution: I will now speak about anyone posting at FTB as a "she". There's no way that will backfire. At all. Nah. I tried that and was called a sexist misogyinst rape enabler because I called someone, who was known to be male, a she, and was therefore using the term she as a dismis...

Well, I have to admit everyone is different and has different family influences growing up. But I just don't see a 15 year old boy taking the exact same kind of issue with sexism that a 50-something year old man might. Of course not. This is pure re-invention. I think it is in fact quite common to ...

Well, it's at least as funny a rape joke as Pappa's (read, not funny at all). And in almost equaly poor taste. So maybe PZ should shut up for a while and listen?

Gumby, you know PZ reads the Pit. I hope you realize that you've likely just given him a hard on with that picture. Poor Mary. I hope she feels like playing dressup pretend again tonight!!!

'Julian' has left a comment on my blog post that didn't respond to the content of the post.

Okay...

anti-social justice values

Isn't the "-" misplaced here? Shouldn't it be "anti social-justice"? Just asking.

Dear Spokesgay who speaks for no gay but him/her/themself, you have now totes caught my attention. It is horrible to call someone a son of a bitch, because it demeans, objectifies, and sexualizes this person's mother.

I've got my eye on you!

(Is that a threat?)

Oh fuck! Comedy gold from Justin's blog:

'Spokesgay' tweeted, "And then there's you, being a son of a bitch and harassing women, taunting them for objecting to their treatment."

Facepalm over 9000!!!

Yeah, but you see, PZ is the right type of misogynist. Not at all like those wrong type of misogynist.

Head hurts.
