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

Since when has PZ Myers and Co. have privacy concerns? Aren't they in full favour of doxxing and releasing private stories they heard or witnessed themselves? Richard Carrier even invented a story based on the witness accounts as a â€œthought experimentâ€ during Shmeargate. Wasn't it â€œexactly rig...

He might be a total cunt, but he is right. The death of my parents is my worst fear. When I read of Jen's case today, I felt only sympathy.

Jumping ahead to ask people here, based on a twitter conversation just now: What would it take for you to believe a claim of sexual harassment or assault?

Part Two of the Silverman Heresy is out now. That one is bit of jumble, with too many quotes and sources, but hey I had to substantiate a bit more, it's largely about the "Witch of the Week" meme:

Does testimonial evidence count? If someone other than the Social Justice League found Radford did what they say he did, then I'm also accepting it.

Regardless of the current issue, nobody here likes smearing. There is quite some consensus that some evidence must be produced in order to make it truthful and not a smear.

Agnosticism â€” from ancient Greek, á¼€Î³Î½Î¿Îµá¿–Î½ a-gnoein means ~unknowable. I think something is either knowable, or unknowable. If its unknowable, someone can still believe something was true, or believe it to be false (or be unconvinced by the proposition it was true).

It is pretty obvious that any rational attempt at debate or exchange of ideas is very narrowly defined at the SJW sites.

It's also still a possibilty, and a likely one at that, that Karen Stollznows accounts were generally correct. I am still mostly unsure about this issue, as the information we have isn't good enough, but the remaining bit leans towards believing her, still. +++ speculation +++ I think she had someth...

Wait, so Baxter admits to writing a joint statement. Joint. As in, Karen and himself? What the hell else does "joint" mean? So, "they" (Radford and his lawyers?) "morphed" it into an apology? How did this happen? Did Radford fabricate information to make Stollznow seem like she was apologizing? Or ...

I've missed the letter incident, but it appears to me that one side denies that the letter is legit and Karen Stollznow's tweet (posted a page or two ago) to be more skeptical refers to this.

I'm beginning to think that the term 'Social Justice Warrior' is really a misnomer.
