A-plus: Tearing real positive Atheism a new A-hole, since summer 2011.

Shit, I just noticed the "+" in the header. Nice work Lsuoma :clap: http://atheiststoday.com/images/dw_adams/jeankazez_blocking.jpg I don't get her at all. Of course we talk about her here, we talk about everything here . It's our freakin forum, where we know our words won't be censored or changed. ...

I'm getting the impression that if Dawkins wanted to he could squash this who Atheism+ Atheismâ€ crap from the larger a/s community pretty quickly.

FfTB explicit guidelines So after all that bitching about not needing a written mission statement, they're finally going to take John Loftus' advice.

Vjack over at atheistrev has written a blog post on "The Freethought Bullies Meme", http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/08/the-freethought-bullies-meme.html It's annoying that people keep leaving out the part about how Watson's podium chastising of Stef McGraw (I don't know if it's intentional or due to ...

Justin, for people bugging you about the SurlyAmy address "outing", you might wanna link them to what Justicar's says at approx 1:08

It's pretty much what a lot of people have already said here, but it's always nice to have YT footage to point to.

â€œThe Other Atheistâ€ is one of Franc Hoggle / Victor Ivanoffâ€˜s pseudonyms, by the way. Since they're still clueless retarded enough to believe that franc is Victor Ivanoff, does that mean that they're intentionally doc dropping someone's "identity"? What would Natalie Reed say about that? Noth...

http://i.imgur.com/ePwA4.jpg Yeah, no atheist connection at all. Except the fact that she identifies as an atheist...oh, I'm sorry PZ, you meant she's not your approved kind of atheist. My mistake. Someone really ought to have told us you need character references to join. Didn't you get the memo?

Second, GWW wasn't blaming atheists. She was blaming (or at least thinking there was a connection with) the FftB/Skepchick axis. I'm pretty sure PZ's tweet was referring to Vjack's post on atheistrev, where he says this, I think we can agree that using the DMCA in this manner is potentially devasta...

Having just read some of GirlWritesWhat's rebuttal to the standard arguments on ZOMGitscriss's gender roles video, I can see why Cristina is calling in reinforcements.

As for those who still remain silent for fear of rocking the boat - I believe there are many, including a few who reside at FTB.

Oh, those oppressive feminists! Fighting for their right to be respected! The ironic part is that feminism was probably far more respected in the a/s community before elevatorgate and FtB. The same could probably be said of PZ himself, who is now considered outside of his circle-jerk Pharyngula bub...

As to the possible accusation of why I'm ready to accept the worst about FtB's administrative shenanigans, let me ask this, why are Ed, PZ, et al only responding to the supposed "web ethics" of what Thunder did?

This seems to me similar to the email that Tracy Harris of The Atheist Experience received from some fan asking if she is single.

His twitt doesn't specifically say anything about PZ or pharyngula, but considering the fact that the commenters there keep calling him a pervert I wouldn't be surprised if pharyngula wasn't his favorite place.

Your first emotional and ethical reaction to this news should be something like: â€˜He wrote what? Thatâ€™s really shocking. For more than a year?!?! Wow, that is outrageous! How can we stop this?â€™ You could have started by saying (and meaning): â€˜That is really terrible. Ophelia, Iâ€™m really s...

I just have to say, Dillahunty has really gone de profundis in recent weeks. A smart, clever guy when it comes to dealing with religious arguments, but a complete arsehole when dealing with Baboons and their vapid behaviour.

OMFG just catching up on the Dillahunty mass banninations... Fucking hysterical!!!! What a sad little cunt. Since no-one else has done it. Here's a link to a twitterpic showing what Diullahunty got up to. (Not his page, but a critics', for those who wish to deny him hits). After posting this questi...

I love the fact that the posters at JREF have an increasingly negative view of Queen Bee and the Baboons. My impression is that opinion of Ms. "Radial Tire" amongst the veteran JREF commenters has been pretty low since she got herself banned in 08. With the occasional exception here and there, of c...

Damn it, PZ is totally losing his marbles and I'm out of popcorn...what cruel world I live in!

Remember that infamous SkeptickCon panel where Laden said that testosterone damages the brain (you know you do, so don't ask me to link it). The other controversial remark came from one Heina Dadabhoy, who even before Laden made his testosterone remark, said the following: Heina Dadabhoy: That is an...

For a while, he's been notorious for vociferously policing the baboon boards for the slightest sign of deviancy from their newspeak, and it appears he holds grudges as well - to the extent that he'll continually attack a commentator for some slip of language long after the subject at hand has moved...

TF is American. Immigrated from England when he was a kid, but never lost the accent. I didn't know that. I thought I heard him refer to himself as a UK citizen in one of his YT videos, but I might be mistaken. Regardless, he still doesn't fit Laden's "red blooded American" label (whatever that's s...

I thought they said rape is something that can never be joked about:

I note that he only responded to one of the many pertinent replies to his spamming (which behaviour would have one's posting privileges turned off atâ€”oh, just an exampleâ€”St. Ophelia's shop). Maybe he is trying to get himself banned so that he can cry foul about how Thunderf00t is a hypocrite. J...

She certainly is oblivious which is why I wonder why she doesn't have someone she can trust to check her technically. Maybe she just can't admit ignorance on a subject.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds to me as if Ophelia & Co. are seeing a decrease in ranks and this is her halfhearted attempt to reach out to "new" readers and show how their not so bad over there.

Greg Laden is in full piss-ant mode at TF's blog. It's both funny and very sad. Notice how he doesn't dare respond to anyone rightly pointing out what a colossal douchebag he's been over the past few months. He just keeps posting new comments without a care in the world.

I have great respect for Jean Kazez though I think she is a little off base about the slimepit here, she at least wrote a fairly balanced analysis of what was happening in the atheist community very early on. She has been getting attacked by the horde at fftb for not being a feminist, which is pret...

Agreed, Spence. I was a lurker in the original SlimePit at ERV, so the following horn tooting doesn't even apply to me, but I think that many of the big names criticizing FtB today are being myopic about the people who recognized the problem and were speaking out against the FTBullies from the start...

judging by justinvacula's post at http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=73&start=2800#p3865, I guess that means that neither Grothe and Kazez ever actually visit here, or they are so far up their nether regions with confirmation bias and predisposition they are unable to see the differ...

I dont think theres even an endgame to this madness. The demands will never be satiated, they will keep coming. That's exactly what is so baffling about their behavior.
