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

Somehow, I appear to find myself in the only mafia social club in this part if the Rockies and our resident Guido has departed The Pit. If I end the evening in cement Fluevogs for lack of advice on how to behave I shall be very annoyed. 5 Don't worry. Mykeru explicitly said this wasn't a flounce. G...

German humour is simply undetectable for the uninitiated. We're saying this for years, but alas, you don't speak German. :(

Homeopathic Humour?

Because SGU and CFI are part of the A/S community of course.

Ask them what they intend to do about the SJW attacks. If they say nothing ask them why. We seem so happy Nugent finally did something. Sorry to chop so much of your post, a lot of which I agree with. However your plan seems to consist of asking people what they will do, then bemoaning their latene...

The only way to deal with the SJW's is to inform as many people as possible, which is what people here have been doing for years. The fact so many ignore what is happening has lead me to the conclusion they can screw their 'movement' and it deserves what it gets, including AI and all the other promi...

So many americans really seem to think France is stuck in some sort of late 19th century timeloop. Get some new stereotypes, brah. And stop cribbing shit from the english.

I'm fully against doxxing or contacting employers or causing any real life issues at all. If something is illegal or actionable I would report it to the relevant authorities but that is as far as it goes. I would not publish it all over the internet. I would simply do it. I refuse to behave like Mye...

I'm not worried about Skep. Even if one of Peezus' minions decides to contact someone in the organization Skep works for, there's nothing to report. Skep did nothing wrong. Whoever does the contacting will just reveal s/h/itself to be just another internet lunatic. You should know by now that it's ...

... Doxxing and trying to fuck with real-world careers because you can't handle the OPINION someone offered about your medical condition is really over the line. I'd encourage you to read Skepticle's original "gonorrhea" post before you parrot how it has been characterized. (TL;DL: she *didn't* ser...

Nugent's blog keeps posts in moderation at random. Or he is switching it on and off at random times based on the phase of the moon, whether Oolon is near, he is at the desk to see what's going on or any number of other things. Also, too many links will put the comment into moderation but it's uncle...

One marked difference between the current Nugent discussions and the ones from last year is the awareness people have of their tactics. It was frustrating last year that the SJW's were believed so readily and it took enormousness effort to deal with that. It seems to take a lot of time for some peop...

Oooooh, Myers, what a mistake your accusations were. The four (4) categories of slander that are actionable per se are (i) accusing someone of a crime; (ii) alleging that someone has a foul or loathsome disease; (iii) adversely reflecting on a person's fitness to conduct their business or trade; an...

Forgive me, but arguing about what's offensive or uncool (beyond what's illegal and doxxing) is kind of unPitlike in the first place. Folks have had their say about the shit-gifs, etc. It's now up to those who post them and/or run this place to decide what to do in the future. It's not unpitlike at...

I'm so tempted to post at Nugent's 'I told you so'. No. Everyone has a different approach. Nugent's was to give them plenty of chances to correct themselves & benefits of the doubt. What he has built up is a very solid case for any of his core supporters & constituents that these US based SJWers ar...

I'm so tempted to post at Nugent's 'I told you so'. Every point he has made, every one, has been made a thousand times over the last couple of years. Michael, why did you not do something when you had the chance last year? They were the same then, nothing has changed. Adam Lee has been attacking ath...

In a related story, PZ is now begging for money for food. Nope. He was soliciting for a charity. pz pulls in a satellite college professor's salary in a very low cost town in the middle of no where.

Great video Mykeru.

They think it is enough to play the morally superior card and everyone will just concede defeat and accept their benefactors. They can't win. There are too many gamers who reject their ideology.

PZ Myers' "you mean it actually was a false-flag operation?" http://www.freezepage.com/1411585781EROCIPCGZS At least he posted about it I suppose rather than say nothing which they usually do.

Oh I will give Myers credit for one thing. He isn't spineless. No wonder he is running rings around people well outside his pay grade.

If any of you bastards want to pop in and add your voice to my "discussion" at JREF - feel free. My line is that Alison Smith, by using FtB to communicate twice, has some responsibility for the network then leveraging the fuck off her claims in their war on the CFI's white skeptic movement. They do...

I'm getting the impression PZ is losing it a little bit. Love him or hate him, the guy is an idealist and he takes this sort of thing very personally. I think the Thunderf00t schism really genuinely hurt him more than he let on, and obviously losing Dawkins' friendship is a hundred times worse. He ...

Oh and a great Intelligence Squared debate, with Hitchens and Stephen Fry is

The Thinking Atheist is pretty good.

I think it is more a suspicion that these are fairweather friends who will fuck off the moment the SJWs mount a counter-attack. SJWs are very adept and manipulating the biological desire of men to shelter women, and they combine this with lies, exaggerations and propaganda to create spin zones that...

OK. 4 beers in. Right now, what I have to say is that all the people slagging off on people speaking up now about the issues we have been discussing for the past few years are idiots. Alright, I understand you be perturbed that they didn't speak up before. But it does no good to cast them down now ...

Good point. But it shouldn't be a problem for the people who were investigating this to contact the SFPD public information officer for details. The date of the report would then give a definitive answer to whether she lied about making the report on twitter. Just to confuse things, didn't she make...

Just to confuse things, didn't she make a report in March? Yes, but if she tries to claim that her recent claim to have made a report just after the wave of threats was actually referring to the stuff back in March, she'll be rightfully seen as being full of shit. She needs a report at the same tim...

I just went through the entire comment section for that Polygon story ... nothing on WHEN Snarky made her police report. Given that video that included the conversation with the police liaison about a week ago, in which the SF officer says there's no recent report, I'm more convinced that Snarky on...

I agree, Jack, but would add this: It seemed to me that atheists in the US were close to seriously helping the secularists, but have now been distracted for several years by social-justice BS. If you talk to folks like Sean Faircloth, you'll learn that The Schism has cost them a lot of momentum. So...

I have long considered SJW's and their ilk to be a form of cult. The definition of a cult is not precise, not universally agreed and subjective.
