I see the thread that keeps giving on A+theism is continuing, with realisation dawning on a number of people there the flaws in the premise of A+. Now Xanthe quits (my emphasis): Seeing as there's an inordinate rush to blame inattention or inabilities of a volunteer staff to protect everyone here as...

On the topic of lamps for Africa, I see other skeptics were alerted to it and discussing it at the same time as Becky: how_many_skeptics.jpg To be fair, most note that they are questioning the numbers, and use words that recognise they might be wrong (even including Becky) unlike PeeWee who leaps in...

Amy Roth is not only an ally and a friend of nearly everyone here, she's also an advertiser. Being a dick to her for no reason whatsoever is likely to cost us all money.

A commenter named WMDKitty (Always growing and learning) at Zvan's blog plummets new depths of victim blaming: Ugh. Justin needs to get OVER it already.

Wow. Just looked at the A+theism forums. Who is online [hr][/hr] Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 1 guest And I'm guessing that 1 guest was me.

Merry pastamas to all pitters. Here is a brief interlude for quote mining purposes - my gift to any browsing baboons. (Most of the names won't mean much to non-UK residents, but most of them were either convicted or cleared of murder charges)

The funniest review is the five-star one:

Greg Laden is one of the most accomplished and prolific science bloggers around.

Priceless.

Justin linked to it in his post at Rock Beyond Belief (the one that's currently being discussed here). Justin linked to SGBM's claim, which is far from the full story. Unfortunately, the full story is difficult to glean from the comments, because there was a whole bunch of stuff going down at the t...

Does anyone recall the full story that Justin G refers to regarding Maria (blu)? He claims Maria doxxed herself using a post by SGBM to support his claim. Now I know SGBM ran the pharyngula wikia, so he would have some info on this. But SGBM is at least half-baboon, and although he can think a bit b...

From Laden's blog: So when the Slime Pitters or their kind, or the regulars over on Whats Up With That blog, take my comments out of context and attempt to bludgeon me with them, lie about what Iâ€™ve said or done, or threaten to kill me with their favorite Glock , it is something Iâ€™m a little us...

Wow. Greg Laden didn't dox Mykeru but rather his ex-wife's place of residence. What a lovely, wonderful human is Greg. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with that guy???? :o Really? Good ol' Greg, protecting all the womyn in the way only he can. What a jerkwad. Darren, that graph sure tells a story...

I didn't see a link in Richard Dawkins' piece to the original article (tut!) so here it is: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2251963/Being-raised-Catholic-worse-child-abuse-Latest-incendiary-claim-atheist-professor-Richard-Dawkins.html As ever, shocking misrepresentation by the daily fail, an...

But this one is my personal favorite: http://i.imgur.com/V2ILO.png Accusation of "intellectual dishonesty" (after I challenged the claims in the petition against Justin Vacula, and in place of any substantive response to the questions I posed) was exactly how I was banned from the Atheism+ forum.

PZ Myers 21 December 2012 at 10:23 pm (UTC -6) Link to this comment regulars donâ€™t make gendered insults. How quickly we forget the â€œDear Dickâ€ incident. 1.

I'm going through job offers right now and was wondering: is it just a French thing that for any job these days they ask for 2 to 5 years experience in the same domain? If you only ever hire experienced workers, how the fuck do I even start getting some experience in x or y domain?!? I'm not sure i...

*Le sigh*

Seriously though, Jen is just sooo much better than everyone else. It must be true, her daddy said so.

A completely random aside that might amuse some people's sceptic sensibilities. This news story made me think of people upthread picking letters out of Justin "my middle name is fucking" Vacula's organisation to show a hidden code that proved whatever anyone felt like proving. A few weeks back, a gu...

BTW, if some deranged psycho steals Laden's car and drives it into a crowd of people at high speed, would that make Laden a murderer, by his own logic? (Assuming Laden has a car of course. If not, replace "car" with "trailer". We knows he has one of those) Yes, he does have a car. In fact, here it ...

One thing about Greg Laden's idiocy: he brings harmony to the slyme pit. There may be quite wide and diverse views on gun control, but one thing we can all agree on: Laden is the lowest form of life on this planet. Even pond scum spit on him. Nah, even with a big splash of hyperbole I wouldn't call...

Eric Hovind and PZ Myers are like two peas in a pod over this. Remember when Gabrielle Giffords was shot, along with 19 bystanders (of whom 6 died)?

Ugh, I'm really getting tired of the incessant whining about the supposed "doxxing" or "doc-drops" people here are accused of. I mean, I'm not a defendant of the Slymepit, but seriously, there are now two people who claim they've been "doxxed" and the evidence tells us in both cases they're not bla...

Apparently Dawkins has just made a new statement that's bound to send his haters into a fit of outrage. Well, I can't actually find a quote to back it up, but there must be one somewhere for Jason Thiribble to write the following lines about Dawkins: I must still take issue with his repeated and fl...

Way back I was doxed by right-wing lunatics and people associated with The Project for an Old American Century and Ben Burch, whose postings were apparently used by super-genius Greg Laden for another round of the same. Wow, small world, I had some run-ins with Burch on JREF. Nothing like what happ...

Oh noes! Sir Patrick Moore has died . Not sure if that will mean much to people outside the UK or not, but he was a huge factor in getting people interested in science for a period spanning many many decades over here. He will be missed, but his good work will be remembered by many for a very long t...

One of the latest comments on Physioprof's post is amazing. The â€œdeep partisan divideâ€ is something that can only be cured by the complete obliteration of the Republican party. And again, thereâ€™s plenty of rival ideas within the Democratic party to ensure healthy arguments and compromise even...

Uni-nostril is sexy. Unfortunately, I cannot see a uni-nostril without thinking about Daniella Westbrook's coke habit . I know I'm being uni-nostrilist, a marginalised group of oppressed people (like massively rich drug addict soap stars), but I think I prefer the full privileged nasal complement. ...

But I hadn't checked PZ's blog so had assumed - apparently incorrectly - that the first reference or suggestion of that had been here.

I never understood this "do you still beat your wife" stuff. I'm not married, so, no. I've never hit a girl or woman in my life, so, no. It's the word "still". Consider these two questions: 1.

The first three are just bizarre and I can't figure out what kind of message he's trying to convey, and the final one is stretching it; sure, statistics show that women get targeted more on average, but it neglects to mention that the number of men killed by strangers is higher than in regards to w...

BTW - what was the deal with this 'Pornalysis' character? His name seems to be mud around here. Sometimes he called himself 'Pornonymous' too. He was a strange one, but I miss him. I hope he's ok. Me too. He had a blog, didn't he? http://pornalysis.wordpress.com/ Hasn't been updated for a while.

Is reverse mangina also bad? I'm not quite sure

Also, has Chris Clarke done that post yet explaining what the difference between a "frankengene" and any other gene is yet?

Anybody fancy a little flutter on how PZ's inevitable nervous breakdown will manifest itself? Odds: Screaming, naked in the street: 5/8 Writing "HELP ME" on his chest using his turds as a pencil. 7/2 Barking at traffic. 15/1 Raping somebody. 2/1 Raping Becky. 3/2 Raping Greg Laden and giving him te...

I had largely ignored Crommunist and his zany co-author because they are really irrelevant, but that post really is actually psychotic.

Wow, what a weak article from PeeZus. Most of it is just strawmanning about having scientific expertise, which has already been thoroughly skewered by people here. The only other point of note I saw was this one: But hereâ€™s that telling reveal: in response to an exposÃ© of shoddy science within th...

OK, just to add an explicit, evidenced counter to Stefunny's point that at 8:28 Watson's critique is about a single study, not about EP as a whole, here she is at 12:30 talking about that exact same study as she was referring to at 8:28: The biggest problems with this study though are the same probl...
