On the JREF forum they are arguing with qwint (an A+er) about whether or not using "check your privilege" and similar phrases is at all useful for anything other than driving people away. (There had been another A+er earlier, but he bailed after a poor showing and apparently said the thread was a "...

According to my Super-Sekrit neo-Nazi analysis, Nerd of Dirtbag has, at this point, executed his *floosh* operation 24 times in a single thread (Adria is perfect), which is I believe a new record. He actually managed to use it twice in a single post, on two occasions. Yes, I am kidding about the neo...

D'oh! - Crommie just got called out by A+ admin Hyperdeath for his douchey post: What has the first guy done wrong? Why does he deserve public ridicule?

In any case, fuck knows what Crom is doing devoting a whole post to taking the piss out of dating profiles - the only saving grace in that situation is that his blog is so infinitesmally pissant that it's unlikely to influence the interest a prospective dater is going to have in those profiles. I'm...

I exclude places like 4chan and Reddit as these are simply places for trolls to go and have fun. Although as I have never been there for all I know I may be wrong on that too. Well, they have their own fucked up form of activism. Apparently it involves letting black female nerds know that your onto...

Welp, aritana ducks out just he's about expose the deep neo-nazi / slymepit alliance. Shit, now we'll never know the truth! Or whatever sounds close to the truth. What the fuck ever. Hitler, yeah. Oolon last seen dangling underneath a loose donkey across the english countryside. "lol, this is the o...

Let's start an SP pool. Who do you think will become the next un-person in the eyes of their former FTB/A+ allies? I'm gonna go with the first name that comes to my mind, and guess Brony. I bet it will be kate_waters. Not a bad guess. She's pretty militant and doesn't seem to have a ton of allies. ...

Starting to wonder a bit about Aratina. Over at Nugent's he justifies saying this on Twitter, â€œSlimepitters would feel right @ home on Stormfront.â€ by saying this: "I think it would be best if I clarify, once again, that I made that suggestion as a bit of rhetoric where the answer is clearly, â€...

And there's no evidence I know of that says he's ever posted here. But Julian was the one who backed up OB's claims by saying that he recalled reading "Rebitch/k/a" on the 'pit, so just mentioning reading here is enough for the hammer to fall, apparently. Srsly? PeeNus will hammer someone just for ...

So someone showed up on the new DongleGate thread at Pharyngula and said: I also have to say that while the two guys may have exhibited momentary jerkiness, so have we all at some time or another. And they donâ€™t seem to have contributed at all to the assholes freaking out at Adria Richards â€” in ...

So now you don't have to be registered, you don't have to post - just reading the slymepit is enough to get you banned? Peez is going to have to ban himself and Watson then, pretty sure they are here regularly! Oh, but wait. TalkRat cunt-user Caine sez: I expect he shouldnâ€™t have brought them up ...

What makes you think PZ didn't remember him?

You're right - he may have.

Cerberus, again: I knew way too many young women when I was in college who had to abandon things like physics, math, computer science, or engineering because a toxic environment of non-stop sexism from students and teachers just wasnâ€™t worth it to them.

Aratina pulls a slightly comical, "I have in my hand a list of Communists in the State Department." You can guess what happens when his bluff is called: One of the most ardent slimepitters runs several of the impersonation accounts, John.

[quote="Rocko2466_]Does anyone know why Melody Hensley was angry at OB?[/quote]

I think she's teasing, though I can't tell about what.

Caine. A voice of reason. But only until the "I get the anger" part. Interesting. Caine's toning it down? http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/03/22/adria-richards-did-everything-exactly-right/comment-page-3/#comment-586849 She occasionally throws in stuff like this but always comes back to ...

Holy shit - I won't paste this one, but Cerberus just vomited out another War & Peace style epic dramatic-reading-worthy rant - this one's a keeper: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/03/22/adria-richards-did-everything-exactly-right/comment-page-3/#comment-587450 http://www.freezepage.com/...

Sincere apologies for the wall of text -- couldn't let this one go. From earlier in the Adria thread, the pathetic "Zhuge, le homme blanc qui ne sait rien mais voudrait," takes the S.C.U.M post seriously and responds with epic A+ grade nuttiness (emphasis mine): @Etienne Dear men: Die. No, seriously...

Final proof that Nerd of Redhead is a poe: http://i.imgur.com/C2HW7om.jpg Xim? WTF? The Nerd been pulling everybody's leg for years. I give him an A+ for dedication and persistence. (Or was it just a bug?) :lol: Yes - I and I love the idea that Julian's failure to "stick to evidence, not hyperbole"...

A+ admin Hyperdeath points out that Julian isn't a 'Pitter - Caine replies with the characteristic aplomb of a Pharyngestapo officer:

Somewhat interesting thread over at Zvan's. Unfortunately, several people have read one or the other of the Nugent threads and gotten the impression that people at the 'Pit "want" this or that based on which Nugent thread they read or which posters were more active. http://freethoughtblogs.com/almos...

Julian Francisco tweets what we all know -- The A-plussers have made absolute fools of themselves. Aratina Cage shows up to wax indignant:

That one is an obvious troll: Etienne is french for Steven, check his facebook favorites and google the text itself.

I keep reading that thread on Pharyngula and everytime I see John Morales preface his posts with [meta], I get confused. His posts aren't referencing themselves. They're not meta references.

Poe's law manifests itself again. This could be a parody. Even some of the Horde are skeptical.
