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

Wierd stuff going on at Avi's log ... well, I suppose that's a given. Anyway ... I spy with my jaundiced eye, myriad reading comprehension fails. To wit (in part): 1. Some anonymous individual said: I love how the slymepit empathically (metaphorically) rape the #ftbullies. Itâ€™s not even a fair fig...

What he said.

Oh, yes, I nearly forgot: like Pitchy, I too have had my posting privelege rescinded by that wunderkind of freethought, Commander Physiodouchee. oolon sqwelched into that thread, claiming that we're libelling Ogvorbis. So, I went to post a short note asking oolon to explain how quoting someone, verb...

The writing looks genuine.

There is something a wee bit odd about the downward facing dashes at the bottom of the page that lead me to think the writing is P'shooped.

The bullshit piling up at Proffee's Placee is so thickee, I decided to post this: Al Dente said: Pitguess (sic) @6 Iâ€™m impressed. You hate FTB so much that no lie is too despicable for you to utter. You must be really proud of yourself that youâ€™ll accuse someone of vile crimes just so you can sh...

BarnOwl said: Halloween is a big deal here, though - I remember it being pretty much destroyed for several years when I was a kid, by a greedy psychopath who poisoned his own kids and some neighbor kids with cyanide-laced pixie stix. He did it for life insurance money, apparently. It was horrible an...

No, it did not. PeeZus utterly ignored it.

Surly Adolphs for the win.

Yup.

Correction: It has, for now, been accepted and posted (http://freethoughtblogs.com/brutereason ... ment-48845).

I posted the following on Miri's post (http://freethoughtblogs.com/brutereason/2013/12/22/on-not-holding-our-models-sacred-some-feminist-theories-and-their-flaws/#comment-48845): Miri, your post is a very long, and interesting, one, and I do not feel that I can comment on the whole thing in the nece...

I read some of those "otherkin" jabberers (http://kinspeak.tumblr.com/).

....

Surely, surely, surely, those people aren't really serious? Surely, they're speaking figuratively, creatively, metaphorically? Yes?

/what fucking planet is this anyway?

I find it rather surprising that Miri would not only quote and link to a comment at the Pit, but she didn't even lay on the usual "toxic waste dump" scare talk to go along with it.

And, yes, for those of you who do the Christmas thing, Merry, Merry.

For all others, Happy Othering.

Giliell: HAHAHAHAHA!

Cripes on a tuna fish sandwich! Even the mere scent of us sends those derpy trolls into Help us PeeZus panic mode.

Run, Giliell, run; we're gonna make a sammich out of you.

Yes, the stupid burns.

They're how I always imagined a platoon of Rhetorical Assassins might look.

It really and truly amazes me that some Pharyngulahnas are actually celebrating a child rapist.

Hmm. I'm no nutritionist, or anything like that, but I'm curious: How can anyone require 2500 to 3000 calories a day? For a normal healthy male of average height and in his 40s to 50s, that would balloon him up to about 40-50 pounds overweight in a year or less. And, related, how can anyone in North...

I quit smoking a long time ago, and I'm not trying to proselytize smokers' rights or anything, but this complaining about smokers puffing in their cars (with their windows open OMG!) and bothering other drivers in the area strikes as, well, frankly, outrageously ridiculous.

The Prisoner. Yes. I love that show. I picked up the complete BluRay a while ago. An eminently watchable series, though it gets a bit flakey near the end, which I suspect is largely due to PM's getting sick of it by that point in time. He was a wee bit flakey himself.

What a sad excuse for an adult he has become.

Ahem. Can someone refresh me on where someone from the Pit threatened Avicenna's career?

That accusation has popped up again, courtesy of the Raging Bee, and I told the buzzin' Bee he was lying, but he says Avi's word supports the claim. Anybody got anything on that?
