I wonder how much of this jumping at the apology has to do with EBW proof of trying to get Melody/Rebecca the job? They've been pretty quiet on that front.

Hello Pitters! I'm back from a week of studio work in a small village up north (pop. 80) without phone or internet. I'm going to catch up, if I can (still at page 422). Or maybe I can have a rÃ©sumÃ©? Here's a decent rundown. http://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstAtheismPlus/comments/1gqg2t/more_atheismpl...

Benson says Lindsay's latest is enough to try and end the "war." Time for the FTBullies to claim victory?

Looks like Lindsay has a few more words about WIS 2.

Good news everyone! White lady feminists informs the crowd that Ron Lindsay is still bad (cause "notpology") but David Silverman is good (cause "notpology"). http://freethoughtblogs.com/blackskeptics/2013/06/19/race-american-atheists-and-the-movement/ Remember, it's a jungle out there...bitches! ht...

Wow, so I am listening to the Godless Bitches podcast (Surly Amy guest), and they are talking about Ron Lindsay, and apparently his attitude is this: "stop being bitches and shut the fuck up" It's just so stupid all I can do is :roll: You might be interested in the Godless Bitches FB page, they put...

If I was a troll like Pogsurf I'd send dodgy letters out to all the usual suspects with somebody elses name, phone number and address attached, preferably somebody who I know would react with an equal amount of venom and spite or somebody who you just don't generally want to mess with, and watch th...

Many have asked whether I would be attending TAM and have also encouraged me to attend TAM.

Also, today on the Atheist Experience FB page on a story about the death of the namesake of the Lemon Test I wrote that this was the kind of activism that was needed and not boycotts on secular groups for trivial reasons.

This is what I try to tell people who get all worried. Once you get about a meter away from FTB and Skepchicks, they don't exist. They don't have any influence outside of their own little cultoids, I'm skeptical of that. Much of the left-leaning American blogosphere not directly connected with skep...

As someone who lives in a community with active KKK members I deeply appreciate Mr. Silverman associating the Pit with the Klan.

So a FTB post talks about some wording in the new National Defense Authorization Act before the US congress about a provision that sounds like it's just for the MRFF. I like the MRFF and the work that they do, it's important and more attention should be paid. But I think it's pretty shitty when they...

Do some of the FTbullies really want Lindsay fired? Reading over this article and even the comments this seems extremely weak tea.

Whooo boy, now some writer for the Council on Foreign Relations is saying that the protest in Turkey is the fault of extreme secularists.

Sorry, but my sense of humour deems that to be funny enough to warrent a chuckle.

Maybe, but rest assured that won't happen to r/slympit.

Interesting article by a Turkish writer who makes the claim that moderate Islam is not compatible with democracy.

Baboons are having a hangout.

Looks like the police that have been radicalized by the AKP party is running over probably secular protesters in Ankara.

My email to CFI: To put it bluntly: A small number of extremely vocal bloggers and speakers have decided that the core mission of all skeptical, secularist, and atheist organizations and communities must be to support a number of "progressive" liberal political ideals, and that any individuals who ...

Word is WBC tried to protest at the funeral of one of the kids this morning, and theyve been arrested for protesting without a permit.

Just read Carrier's post about Lindsay. What Do Ron Lindsay and an Oklahoma Tornado Have in Common? Besides raging over the same weekend? Both are ignorantly destructive blowhards, apparently. At least Lindsay didnâ€™t kill anything (except his own common sense, and maybe his career in secular lead...

On Carrier's blog post about Lindsey he asked how Lindsey could be familiar with A+ and sited a bunch of videos. I commented that maybe he googled atheism plus, went to the first link which is the forum, and found a thread like the one that was talked about yesterday (http://atheismplus.com/forums/v...

I've been meaning to add to this discussion: Perhaps it might not be a bad idea for dissenting atheist women to set up an alternative secular women's group. The new group could compete with Secular Women, advocating a more egalitarian and humanistic point of view, rather than a dogmatic, gynocentri...

One part of the petition should mention that PZ, et al demonize political non-progressives in an effort to purge them from the movement.

Can one of you Americans explain this to me? As far as I can recall the parents of Govener Haley is a Sikh and Roan Garcia-Quintana is a Cuban immigrant. I need some help making sense out of this.

What justin chooses to say for himself, is of course, up to him. But it is pure political manipulation, the question is not what he is being asked to say, but why is he being asked to say it.

A member of the Turkish ruling party called for the annihilation of atheists on twitter.

I find it utterly ludicrous to equate AVFM to FfTB. Judging all involved in the basis of a handful of posts also doesn't sit right with me. Remember, this is how the baboons judge the 'pit.
