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

Same conversation, slight overlap - IJoe calls John Morales "the biggest troll on that site" and SGBM (who has been absent from Pharyngula lately) is discussed without being named.

Interesting Twitter exchange in which Improbable Joe talks (mainly with Aratina, even though it's on Setar's timeline) about how betrayed he felt by the "Susan" affair at Pharyngula:

Will anyone else stand with me and denounce this bullying and support EBW? Can't tell if you're being serious, or somewhat ironic and just talking about the Pharyngula massacre. Assuming you're serious (forgive me if you're not): Which "bullying" are we supposed to denounce? The reason she got atte...

So, while I do expect that eventually women will become disenfranchised in Western countries, it looks as if the current situation will have to deteriorate far more than it has now before that will happen. So the scenario you're talking about is political/economic collapse and/or a revolution by me...

Steersman takes Aratina to the woodshed in this comment at Nugent's: http://www.michaelnugent.com/2013/03/26/structure-and-dedicated-website-for-the-atheist-skeptic-dialogue/#comment-209002 Incidentally, the Sewer Rat admitted yesterday at Nugent's that he doesn't identify as a skeptic and said on T...

Not sure how many folks have followed the "harassment" kerfuffle this week. As we all know, Svan and Benson have been trying, through sheer repetition, to cement the meme that they are victims of "harassment" by their critics. Vjack (whom I don't normally read) put up a post at Atheist Revolution ab...

Interesting - so what do you see as the order of events/causation (assuming that things continue to unfold as they are)?

Janine the Hallucinating Thickoid (Janphar), seeing how Ellenbeth's decision has clearly been affected (in part, at least) by recent events at Pharyngula, tries to save face by, er, derailing on to the subject of the Slymepit. Ellenbeth makes it clear that the house of Janine and pals isn't exactly...

I have yet to see any discussion on the subject not go rapidly downhill in no time at all. It seems to be a very emotional subject and I would be very pessimistic about the outcome. So much so I would actively discourage it. Right. So race realism is out. It would probably be as unproductive as a d...

Amusing that anyone would think I was actually "shocked" by what Andrew posted from Vox Day and Sailer, or -- even more laughable -- that I am an "extreme liberal" (not that there would be anything wrong with that -- some of my closest friends are extreme liberals). I was actually quite serious whe...

Impressed by Ophie's consistent habit of dramatically characterizing every bit of resistance to her blather as hostility and overreaction. Mykeru's voice "quivers with rage," Sara Mayhew is "furious," Melissa McEwan is giving her the "full rage treatment." She just posted a link to her latest on She...

Another facebook post from Aunt Ophelia . 22 whole words. And. All. Of, them, her, own. When you read the post, you'll understand. I fucking hate people. Who. Write. Like. This. It's been done to death. Stop. It. Stop. It. Now. Her style is intolerable - especially her affected pseudopoetic punctua...

Fabulous! VDARE columnist and racial provocateur Steve Sailer, whose column about Katrina shocked even John Podhoretz at National Review, is a great source for insight on microaggressions. I hope Jack quotes him at the Nugent talks -- he could argue that since blacks and latinos have lower IQs than...

LeftSidePositive March 28, 2013 at 3:05 pm (UTC -5) Hunt, it was quite accurately pointed out that the Slymepitters and Marc Lepine have/had the same hatred of feminism. He, and you guys, want women out of their spaces and blame feminism for chipping away at what men are entitled to, including your...

Andrew, why don't you tell us more about how great Vox Day is, and why. Just remember a stopped clock can be right twice in a given 24hr period. True - which is of some limited use if all you've got is a stopped clock. I'm guessing you read him because you get a kick out of his incredibly obtuse an...

Yeppers. Also - 'Tis usually not Himself = :lol:

Apparently, we are all Marc Lapine. Someone named Hunt, brings up PeeZus's comment comparing/equating us all to Marc Lapine, and asks if the commentors at Zvan's blog think that is abuse. Setar (suspected insane person) demands a citation. Hunt provides the link (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyng...

[quote="AndrewV69"]Vox Day concludes something about a point made here time and time again about the FfTB denizens.

Nothing like approvingly quoting an evangelical Christian sexist to really burnish the SP reputation for sensible atheoskepticism.

Good to fricken see ya, Al. Over at his blog Gurdur seems to be already shoveling dirt on your grave. I saw that. Reap pointed it out to me. Thought it was pretty cool, actually.

I believe it's a 5-minute inactivity timeout, so there may often be many people logged in even if the footer shows very few.

I think that is the right approach. Let the religious person lead you so far and then retort with "so, that's why you're a muslim?". They then say "But I'm a christian (or whatever cult variant they follow)!" (unless they actually are muslim - if so simply reverse the argument) and then you're off ...

The problem (IMO) comes from projecting ideas or intent onto the speaker without actually understanding what they are trying to say in the first place. Bingo! "Intent isn't magic?"

Why anybody would want the fruitcakes at Shakesville as allies is beyond me. Melissa McEwen is a bitter misanthropic psycho with a rape (and pie) fixation.

serioously? Aratina fucking cage is bitching about CHARITABLE INTERPRETATION??? Jesus take me home, i've fucking seen it ALL.

SetÃ¡r is not the only one who tries to paint the Slymepitters as radical right wing fanatics. Folk like â€œdie-in-a-fireâ€ Wowbagger and Aratina Sewer do the same by bringing up Stormfront and the KKK when they mention the â€˜Pit. These people are not skeptics in any true sense of the word.

But she does peg Ophie as somebody too lazy to check her facts before posting. Yep - by Ophie's standards of what counts as harassment, that Shakesville thread alone is a "campaign of harassment" against Ophie. Of course, by McEwan's standards of what counts as rejective shunning behavior, "a visib...

Wow. As a complete aside, Oolon is taking credit for Michael Nugent creating a separate website for the dialogue. Really? Please.

I have no idea what to make of Aratina Cage's politeness on Nugent's blog. It's completely throwing me off.

Um, McEwan is fucking nuts.

Ophie has updated her "Page o'nonstop monitoring and harassment" post (because she hates online drama and was monitoring Stangroom's twitter and needed to add a screencap from it in which he takes Crommie to task for his douchy online dating post).
