I watched it with sound muted but I don't get it. She seems to fidget a bit more when Radford was speaking compared to when others were speaking. But I don't get it.

Aaaaand what do you know. PZ is already milking the controversy . Apparently, the reason Ben has (I'll put 'allegedly' to satisfy you fuckers) behaved criminially is because he didn't agree with them on social justice issues and has white-male blindness syndrome. If only he could open his eyes and b...

And yeah, CFI should releaes their investigations, their conclusions, and they should come clean. Dealing with sexual harassment cases internally is Catholic Church's turf and CFI better stay away from that stinking lot.

That's a very adorable cat. When you find it, you'll owe us more pics.

Jesus. So the claims are I raped VAXherd for years and stole Phil's kitteh? Enough with the baseless accusations. Let me be very clear: I did not steal Phil's kitten.

@deLurch: Great summary. And I don't get "let's hear his side of the story" people. If someone comes up to you and says my dad had me locked in his the basement for years and was raping me, you don't say, "Nah, let's hear his side, maybe there was a misunderstanding." Similarly, this is one of those...

I meant all the four names.

To be more specific, when someone suggested to look at the speaker list for 2012 & compare to 2013, I came up with 11 men's names. Since it was stated that this person was a regular, I made a guess that he might be a regular speaker and compared the list to 2011. I came up with 4 names of male spea...

The first bolded statement is where I had initially assumed that they had never dated. But that begs the question as to what exactly she called off in the 2nd bolded statement. Can you tell me what she called off if it wasn't dating or something of that ilk? My best assessment of the seeming contra...

Fapping is never for nothing my friend.

I'm curious now. What gave you the impressive?

Badger3k wrote:Nevermind - I saw the bet was lost before I even wrote that. Why am I not surprised? Have they started saying we are defending him and blaming her yet? Surely thats the next step.

I'm waiting for them to claim CFI is a slymepit sockpuppet. That day would be grand.

Thanks Gumby and all! I'll wait and see. Well, no, I'll search the whole area for some time, but still thanks. Same thing happened to my mom's cat. She had never been out (the cat not my mom) but somehow manages to get out of a window. She doesn't come back for a few days but eventually she returns...

And the pharyngula thread on Karen Stallznow has been derailed into a stupid discussion on whether or not it's sexual harassment to post a "illustration of a near-sighted caterpillar that tries to have sex with a crinkle cut fry" on a cubicle's wall. And they are they group who thinks they are on th...

So, the question is what comes next. If he has harassed other women and if they come forward that pretty much makes whatever he says irrelevant. Both PZ and Opheilia have mentioned that apparently lots of people knew it was Radford. Now, we all know FTB people are not very trustworthy and they can ...

Apparently, the company involved was CFI. She writes: Five months after I lodged my complaint I received a letter that was riddled with legalese but acknowledged the guilt of this individual. They had found evidence of â€œinappropriate communicationsâ€ and â€œinappropriateâ€ conduct at conferences...

Just to briefly change the subject from Phil's ongoing pussy hunt, I notice a big story is breaking involving serious accusations of sexual assault and harrassment being made by Karen Stollznow against an unnamed perpetrator - now named by Peezus as Ben Radford. Yeah, I started reading her article,...

You know, I fully support public naming of harassers through testimonies like that. What is stupid though are comments like this:

Anyone has any guesses on the "three usual arseholes"?

Nevermind. Should have check Pharyngula before asking.

@Phil: I really hope you find the cat, saying that as a huge cat fan.

@Dick Strawkins: Link?

Scented Nectar = woman who likes big cocks ( and who knows lots of cool stuff too) If you consider the active posters, I'd say the gender split is about equal. Guests aside.

I don't want to give up on running for New York mayor yet.

You're reading way too much into my intentions / words. I was explaining the joke you didn't get (silent killer -> not shutting up). In no way was I saying she doesn't have PTSD. I was saying her PTSD is ridiculous (both in the scope of her symptoms, and in what sparked it) next to a soldier with P...

Done, I think: http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=113891#p113891 Note I didn't say she was not suffering PTSD. I didn't say much about this at all.

Phil, my level of knowledge of PTSD is at level 2-2.5 but I'm not making claims about how patients with PTSD generally behave or what are the usual ranges of their behaviors. Saying that "patients with PTSD shut up about it" or "if she's developed PTSD because of twitter then why she's posting on tw...

Okay, I have add something. Stephanie is in fact very clever. She does not say that online harrassment caused Melody to develope PSTD. She just says "after", i.e., establishing a temporal relationship between the two. The reader is left to deduce a causal relationship. Clever isn't it?

If Hensley has been diagnosed with PTSD, I don't see a lot of reasons to not believe her. But seriously, getting PTSD from online interactions? What next, tears of rage? Shacking with rage? There's a pattern with this crowd, and the best they could do for their own benefit would be to leave the int...

PTSD is commonly called 'the silent killer'. She won't shut the fuck up about it be silenced by people she 'heard' were rude about her PTSD. Do you know how many things are called "The Silent Killer"? Help yourself with the few pages of google: leukemia, diabetes, endometriosis, pelvic inflamatory ...

And congrats on the twins Rayshul! Hopefully they'll learn to play with each other and not suck all your free time :D.

I think attacking Melody on the PTSD thing is pretty stupid. Do you guys have any fucking evidence that she's lying? Or is it just your super accurate "gut" feelings? I personally hate reading about psychological conditions online because for some reason everybody seems to be an expert on mental con...

I've read the local newspaper regularly (nearly daily), in whatever city I've lived in, since August 9, 1974 (I was an 11 yr old girl, Nixon resigned, and I'd never seen such a large headline before).

Stephanie mentioned a number of 140 up to one point and then continued to discuss another bunch. Maybe not a "productive use of her time", but I can sympathize. If you're going to make a case - which I think she did - then sometimes you need to provide exhaustive detail. Did you see the dates on th...

Pretty much. People's reactions to shit is as varied as the size of the population, and reading too much into them, or deciding that they have some deep meaning can cause actual harm.
