Sigh. Ok, my point was more that when that particular lawsuit came about (McDonald's coffee), suddenly *everyone* lost their fucking minds and were suing for just about anything.

Well, let's switch gears for a bit: http://www.avoiceformen.com/men/boys/sizing-up-a-mans-worth/ Men are often ridiculed by women if their penis does not meet a certain length when erect.

If Marcotte claims she only blocks people who are trolls or harassers, I would like her to point out how an HONEST disagreement of opinion is the same as harassment. It goes like this: Hans doesnt like A+. That means he sides with the misogynists. Siding with the misogynists is the same as being on...

I can even take almost any group that BARELY knows what a gun is, and get pretty good agreement about things like "handgun", "rifle", "shotgun" in a short amount of time. "assault weapon"?

I guess I've leant a lot reading Pharyngula. A lot of good stuff that is - I think PZM and his followers make good points about various stuff but I became more and more surprised at the ridiculously aggressive tone taken with anyone not quite "on-message". My biggest dislike is their RTFM attitude....

You all think Atheism is a clique? Fucking everything is a clique. Thanks for the motivation, unnamed assholes. Inded, you are right: everything is a clique. But not everything is The Heathers, which is what Watson, et. al. seem to be trying to make Atheism into. As to everything else? If you cant ...

Well, if talking about conferences with grownups, there are some real advantages to in-person.

It does not matter how much good you do on this planet. None of it matters to Aâ€ and PZ Myers if you disagree with Rebecca Watsons behavior.

Dave, that would make an interesting survey to see what percentage likes catcalls. Even more interesting would be to see how acceptance of catcalls correlates with other variables. While it is a compliment in the sense that it means one is attractive, it's also an aggressive jeering for it. I suspe...

Also, I consider catcalls (or anything yelled at a distance) to cross the line into harassment because it's a form of bullying someone for being good looking, which actually makes it a real case of sexual harassment. I used to feel this way, but now I wonder if that isn't my privilege showing: A nu...

Dont get me wrong. PZ banged away at the creationists in T.O. He just wasnt the bastard about it, the way he was with gelato guy, or pretty much any issue these days. Others took on that role, and were much more entertaining about it. But it puts his support for the "ordeals" that RW's goes through ...

The claim, as I read it, was not that PZ is a coward just because his online and offine communications are different. As you point out, it is trivially true that writing is not speaking and no-one's speech is anything like their (or anyone else's) written communication. FWIW, Although I have never ...

RAH reflected the tenor of his times, but I do not think he was any worse than anyone else. Actually, I think he rose above the tenor of his times. He was born in 1907 FFS. (For reference, the Nineteenth Amendment didnt pass until he was thirteen.) I have a great aunt who was born just a couple of ...

At the end of the day, I do not believe these people are evil. They are just human with their flaws and I personally find it ridiculous that apparently nobody here finds anything that PZ writes interesting while two years ago you all found at least most of his writing interesting and funny. Come on...

Well, it may have had nothing to do with his heart surgery but that does seem a convenient timestamp for when he seemed to really get worse. Thats why I mentioned crackergate and Expelled. From my perspective, he started going downhill four years ago, well actually started earlier than that, but 20...

Ive considered this myself-- Not only the personality changes post-heart-surgery, but also that Myers suffered brain damage during his brief death-scare/lack of oxygen earlier that year. Or maybe he just has been hanging out with dipshits like Watson and Christina and Marcotte too much at Skepticon...
