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

Plus, McCreight's icon is just so durn cute! Not like Twatson's rage-zombie... You are a brave hero, bovarchist, openly praising the foundress of A+ in here. :mrgreen: On another note entirely, I somehow missed that the â€˜Pit has budded itself and created a colony in the home of my maternal ancest...

Also simple professional ethics required Fidalgo to stop blogging there. He had no choice in the matter irrespective of his personal beliefs.

Mykeru? Frogsaga strikes me as a master Poe/troll - imagine trying to defend A+ with the evidence she recommends: I think this is a great idea! It's something I've tried to do as well, and as SubMor said, it's not easy. If I may make some suggestions? I think it would be really helpful to show real...

You owe me an apology.

At this point, their complete and total refusal to actually describe what their arguments are, or where the points of disagreement with feminism are is more maddening than anything else. A bunch of women spoke at the conference! Surely they have arguments that could be argued against, but instead t...

BTW, slightly amusing bit on Skeptics Guide this week as Queen Bee stumbles badly on the science again, over the issue what "speed" one would need to be travelling to sustain artificial gravity.

Social Justice is easy when it always expects others to pay for it.

Please remind me to never again post on a comment section where oolon is involved. It hurts me deep inside... I was warned by Welsh not to engage with him.

http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamonds/2013/05/21/now-im-a-nazi-sniper/#comment-236601 Amanda, itâ€™s even more fun than that.

For me I have zero interest about animals being saved when 24 humans are dead with many likely to follow. Not making a lot of friends here, Jack... Exactly! He said he... agreed with PZ!

I know I'm going to take heat for this and I understand why. I concede all of your counterpoints in advance. I'm not feeling any empathy for the Oklahoma victims.

Loons make the world interesting. In any case, I fail to see any moral failure at AVFM beyond voicing opinions that make people uncomfortable. I don't see any coordinated malice or mass scale deception. I find it utterly ludicrous to equate AVFM to FfTB. Judging all involved in the basis of a handf...

New post on Pharyngula, Myers demonstrates one of the reasons why his blog isn't worth reading: because he's a coward. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/05/21/put-down-the-cell-phone/ I'm with PMZ on this.

Oh, haha. PZ et al apparently hadn't known this took place at WiS2: [youtube]sOnhLnP3q7s[/youtube] Colour me dissapoint.

Thanks for the effort and podcasts you and Justin put into this. It's been fun.

As for Ron Lindsay: Well, I hope he doesn't back down. I think that speech was an experiment on his part. And those idiots, RW , and Peezus fell right for it. But we will see. It's clear that Meyers, Watson and their crew have no use for anyone who doesn't kowtow to them. My first thought when I re...

Apropos of the Pit's current tag-line: When a â€œWomen in Secularismâ€ conference becomes indistinguishable from a â€œFeminism in Secularismâ€ conference, skeptical women are alienated and marginalized.

Amazing. Haha I didn't see that. Drosera has just popped up on Ron's latest post (#113): Haha.

Maybe a PR disaster for her friends. :popcorn: Half the Slymepit? Must be a lot of missing posts, I only saw 3 or 4 Pyt members post, and they were reasonable posts. I actually structured mine to be very vanilla, but clearly supportive of Lindsey. So what if people from the Pit post there, Melody? ...

I can't help but wonder if the Christians are watching. Will we soon be hearing them say that since they're the ones who had the experience of God, they are the experts and we must therefore shut up and listen? They have been saying that for thousands of years. The irony burns. It is also yet anoth...

Melody: Half of the Slymepit have shown up to support these series of blogs. These are not our supporters or donors. They are harassers and sexists. Iâ€™m completely embarrassed. I feel betrayed that that my allies are upset and the people that wish me ill will are cheering this on. I wish we could...

She is completely clueless. Does she really fail to realize that we pitters, as fellow godless secularists and skeptics, ARE allies? In terms of the objectives of the CFI, the pitters are far closer than the average SJW, to whom the idea of open-minded critical examination of ideas is about as welc...

I dont know why Ron Lindsay is engaging Twatson ... But I LOLed : Rebecca Watson inhabits an alternate universe. Myers-Watson assume you... OH GOD! THEYRE FINALLY STARTING TO FUSE INTO ONE!!!

https://twitter.com/center4inquiry/status/335778583970725890 OK, so superficial identity is important to some people.

I apologize to Sarah Moglia. She has Crohn disease; I don't. I apparently have privilege in the "reading and interpreting medical studies" arena that she may not have had the luxury of acquiring.

It's too bad the world-changing FtB/Skepchick Social Justice Warriors are too busy fighting a valiant battle trying to censor people who disagree with them on Twitter.

welch has a map of Africa tattooed on his arse. Fell off a ladder, you get a bruise or two when that happens. At least your arsehole didn't land on an upright cucumber.

Can't wait for the Eurovision tonight. I'm such a sad twat. I was astonished, after twenty four years living in the US, to find the damn things till existed.

Oops sorry ERV. I'm an idiot. I should have guessed that but my brain is ruined by years of male hormones.

LOL at Myers still thinking he has the power to "Pharyngulate" an online poll when he can't muster up 10 dislikes on a Justicar video. If he REALLY had any influence anymore, and he REALLY wanted to support things like AtheismPlus while boastfully flexing his internet muscles by sending his vast le...

You counter your own argument. Neither Welch nor Smith show any maturity despite being â€œoutâ€. Wow! Praise from Caesar! You should really stop that whole "HIV" thing. It's very immature. What about being a mature human being and complain about shit on the internet instead? I think that PZ quote ...

Justicar expressed concern at Abbie's about being doxxed. He is a gay man with children and doesn't want to get them, or himself, exposed. Well, at least that's what I remember and I could be wrong, but I think that's how he went about it. Anyway, What Myers and friends are doing is disgusting. Of ...

The whole thing looks like they've gone completely insane, This ^. QFT. I find the whole thing quite uncomfortable reading.

Phil, Eurovision song-contest is huge in Australia, in the it's-so-bad-it's-good way. People throw Eurovision parties everywhere and it is hosted on TV by a couple of comedian-musicians.

Thanks everyone for the support. Everything is going well here at #WIScfi. The death stares, groaning, and rudeness from some attendees is the only 'bad stuff' so far and not really a big deal.

Although I didn't go read things to get the context, I fail to see how saying "I fail to see how 'A' leads to 'the logical conclusion' of 'B'" means that the speaker is implying anything about whether or not he believes 'B'. And the proper response to someone who claims the speaker implied he belie...

So Amanda Marcotte makes the incredible argument that sexual harassment is a right because free speech is a right, in response to someone who said that freedom of speech is a right and labelling speech you don't like as harassment doesn't magically make it so. I said that was a correlation that did...

Wait a minnit...PZ's little homily isn't even consistent from one phrase to the next. You can't base morality on "obedience to authority" but rather, on empathy. Isn't empathy a feeling?

Lsuoma are we going to get 'pit blogs? :D I am totally up for that shit. Yeah, bring it on.

Yeah this place doesn't seem harsh to me at all. It's not the least harsh online forum I've ever seen (that award would probably go to the TV Tropes On-Topic Discussions forum), but it's not far off. Yes, there's swearing and bad language. But in the end it's all so tame. Now, I think at one point ...

The curious thing is also: now that they presumably introduced social issues, what are they doing about it? Did they discuss it anywhere? Did they actually made a difference? Did they make any efforts of bringing it all together coherently, now that they decided to combine critical thinking, atheis...
