TMI but I remember the first time I got the clap from a Welsh lass in Ibiza .... Just how many times have you gotten the clap from welsh lasses on Ibiza? You nigga'ed me.

Although I do find it quite funny seeing her on the side of having ones words or intentions being twisted around. She's spent the last few years doing that to everyone else.

For all the gamers on here, you need to check out Five Nights at Freddy's.

Our Ms. Hensley has achieved meme status. I've seen her show up on Something Awful, 4chan, various gaming boards, etc. Yeah, I'll confess I feel bad for her. She seems genuinely mentally ill, the sort that truly is traumatized by being lampooned online. The thing is she's also a nasty, vindictive i...

Clearly, Randi was told something about Shermer, because he made a statement about Shermer being a "bad boy" and possibly limiting his attendance at the conference. I do not know if this took into account the specific rape allegation. It's certainly very plausible that it did. Possibly it did not. ...

Guestus Aurelius posted this at Nugent's blog and I thought it would be worth sharing.

The Mod action at JREF effectively shut down the thread. I guess that went as planned. It's strange to me that more people aren't concerned about the current revelations. I guess they will pretend they know nothing until everything is collapsing around them. I am not so sure pretending to have no i...

No, I think she was trying to say that after her alleged rape, she asked around and came to believe Shermer's MO was to get women drunk and guide them back to his room (apparently to "dozens"). However, she doesn't know if he raped anyone after her. So her story (in this respect) is self consistent...

This isn't the slam dunk you appear to think it is. You're missing part of the final quote (presumably unintentionally, as it is a confusing sentence). Smith says, "I have no idea if anyone else was deceived in this way... after that[referring to her incident]." So, it could still be consistent wit...

As for Smith saying nothing but the truth... 25th July 2011 After some asking around, I believe the women he has done this to numbers in the dozens. http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?p=7403216&#post7403216 31st July 2011 I thought I'd mentioned that he has done this dozens of times, and men...

He started with scotch. Went to water. Walked around for two-hours without drinking. Any reasonably experienced, mature adult can drink and remain relatively sober. And, after two more hours of none-drinking be very sober indeed. If he's telling the truth, yes. There was plenty of time for them to ...

This is based on Oppenheimer's Buzzfeed piece . We don't know for sure that this episode is part of what Randi's talking about, but it seems probable. It's far, far more consistent with Wagg telling Randi that Shermer is taking advantage of situations when a woman is drunk than Wagg telling Randi t...

Nonsense. If she was that adamant to not make a big deal about it, then why the sudden "hand grenade" six years later? Women do that shit all the time. Someone I am immensely fond and protective of was assaulted and kept it from me for years. When she finally explained what happened, she couldn't e...

Further, it wasn't like Shermer abducted her and tied her up. She got real drunk, he was sober, and they had sex. She probably thought what lots of people would think - I wish I hadn't gotten that drunk, I wish I would have fought back more, I wish I would have done x and y and z. But she didn't, a...

Shermer's only told one story. How the hell do you get 'isn't very consistent' out of one story? If anyone has an inconsistent story and/or pattern of behaviors around this issue it's Smith with some by Wagge (or whatever his name is...). I'm pretty sure you're wrong on that point. Didn't he, in th...

So can we start to compile a list of known rape apologists now? We've been asking for the data, apparently they are very excited to out themselves... The majority of the commenters at Myers blog meet any reasonable definition of "rape apologist". They have a self-admitted child rapist (not that any...

Damn. I registered with the sole purpose of participating in that thread. Congratulations pitters, you win another round. I understand a bit more why you dislike the JREF forums. What exactly was becoming too heated over there? You're not even allowed to curse (something I noted with much dismay). P...

Has Wagg or anyone else explained why he didn't take Smith to the hospital immediately? Perhaps he was shaken and didn't think clearly (though, in that case, I'd assume he would go to the police in the following days)? Or maybe Smith simply told him she was upset, but not why? Or maybe she did tell ...

Weather report: the room will seem a few degrees cooler next time Boghossian and Carrier have to work on their joint project.

What's the deal, there's a miracle in 25 years that makes robots conscious/sentient? Or some critical mass will be reached?

And the moment that changes is precisely the moment she'll begin to have a point :)

The plot thickens. In the past, I've been at odds with the (seeming) majority pit stance of siding with Shermer (I believed there was enough evidence to at least warn every woman I cared about to steer clear of him). Oh yeah? And what evidence was that? The evidence that someone said so. :popcorn: ...

In your situation, I think not having a way of reasonably knowing that she has implicitly withdrawn consent takes it out of the realm of grey rape. Or maybe it's off-white rape. ;) I agree that it's relatively common, but most men don't advertise that it happened to them. ;) Haha, got myself in to ...

It's my understanding that most states do have laws about serving visibly intoxicated people. The corner liquor store in NYC has a big sign that says they'll refuse service to anyone who appears to be drunk, and that's a good thing IMO. At some point it becomes obvious bullshit for an individual or ...

A puzzling little factoid, for some reason on simple phrase or the equivalent sets of a SJW like almost no other. If you want to set them off in a torrential rage, just say this: CALM DOWN.

I think it's time for my annual apology to the pit. For the most part, I'm only on the periphery of the atheist movement. I don't follow any blogs (had never heard of Nugent until I came here) and don't go to any cons. I involve myself locally, debating the religious I know personally or meet in pub...

Generally when women drink significant amounts at parties, they have full knowledge of alcohol's effects and are doing it because of and not in spite of these effects. Just like men. They want a chance to let their hair down and let loose. They want excitement. They want an adventure. Excellent pos...

I've been watching a lot of Karen Straughan this week. Particularly interesting are her statements concerning A Voice For Men, as they don't seem to match at all with the sentiments I see around here. If it were someone I didn't respect, I'd be able to dismiss their opinion based solely off the the ...

Itâ€™s that last line that really gives the game away. It means essentially that a writer cannot win. Or rather: that a writer somehow has to represent all of humanity or risk being regarded and demonized as hostile to whole sections of it. This should be called out for what it is: a full-scale ass...

Funny also PZ's declaration about self-appointed leaders of science, skepticism and atheism - I've never heard anyone come close to declaring themselves self-appointed leaders, except PZ and skepchick types.

Which is why I think if you really want to get them, support gender egalitarianism, with the view that it's "More Feminist than Feminism", that is, it's stronger in terms of the equality it desires AND the likelyhood of it being effective.

Convicting somebody of being late to the party assumes they knew there was a party in the first place.

I've believed for some time that we're hard wired as a species to be sympathetic to gender imbalances favoring women. Just saw this video by Karen Straughan that sums up the idea better than I could. It fits with my own personal experience. I'm pretty laid back most of the time. You can get in my f...

I'm fairly opposed to internet activism, but it seems that the only way we're going to fight off this tumblrfem infiltration is with organized effort. If gamergate has proven anything, it's that almost every major news outlet is sympathetic if not outright in the pocket of the SJL. Some might call ...

One of the ways I can recognize dilettantes and anti-feminists is simply this: they cite Christina Hoff Sommers as a feminist authority. Sheâ€™s not. Found that bit amusing. Effectively, you're an anti-feminist if you quote anti-feminists. And the way to tell the person being quoted is an anti-femi...

Don't know if this particular video of Karen Straughan's was mentioned here already, so my apologies if I'm repeating something. She has an interesting take on why feminist thought was so easily able to infect the atheist community. In a nutshell, too many people became atheists because they don't w...

I know enough about PZ and his goofy friends to doubt their honesty, especially if the source is a dingbat like Carrie Poppy. Which means you have good reason to disagree with me.

So, it doesnâ€™t matter to me that the woman is unnamed, or that she never reported anything to the police.
