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

Ahh, ok, my bad

IRC-like chatroom, rather.

If anyone is interested, I will be happy to host a live IRC chat room at my website for more direct conversations.

I have the ability to make public or private, password protected rooms.

Just reply here or send me a msg at skeeve@atheiststoday.com

Oh ok...I guess Munkhaus didn't see the icon.

No biggie, it was just an explanation for embedding Youtube videos. franc posted the same thing the next day. heh

This Ed Clint?

Did anyone notice him sign up here?

Who is Ed Clint? Or will Google tell me?

I recently tried to send a PM to another member, but it just stayed in the Outbox and I can't figure out why it isn't sending. I have sent one other PM successfully as well as a reply to a reply. Would it have anything to do with a users privacy settings? As in, a user has their account set to "No P...

Someone help me out here. I don't know Ophelia Benson's style, and can't tell what she is actually saying here: Ophelia Benson says: July 16, 2012 at 6:24 am The pit people want it on the record that they say the claim in # 17 is false. Let the record so show. This, after stating she doesn't want th...

I do believe someone called it earlier: http://skepdirt.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/surly-grant-winner-flees-from-tam-in-terror/ Ms. Moglia stated on Facebook that she did not know who was working for TAM. She says she looked for TAM staff people, but found none at the registration area, which was not ...

I'm confused. Why does Pamela Gay's presentation = Things are going to change now and we'll (skepchick/benson) be declared semi-martyrs of feminism for withstanding the onslaught of naysayers to get to this point. Apologize to us at your convenience. eta: and this was just posted: Tigger_the_Wing sa...

Ophelia Benson says: July 15, 2012 at 5:36 pm Letâ€™s just never mention the s. pit here ever again. It summons them up, like saying Beetlejuice 3 times. No, I havenâ€™t seen anything, but Iâ€™m not expecting to. Sheâ€™s not all covered with FTB/Skepchick filth, you see. At least she's walked back ...

Why is hyperdeath a lying liar? That's two blogs he's stated the Slime Pit is trashing Pamela Gay?

Well, I just checked Sitemeter, and sure enough I got a referral from Butterflies and Wheels to my website (linked via my username).

So she knows I'm a real person, and just maybe will realize I'm not a monster.

Skeeve, I've been trying to screen capture the comments relating to our "sliming" of Gay. I've got Hyperdeath's original comment, and julian and Benson's responses to that, your first and second comment, and Benson's responses to those. Do you have any idea what I might have missed? That's all of e...

Now I'm being moderated. Come on, Ophelia Benson.

Skeeve, what are you referring to? The latest link to Butterflies and Wheels. A couple of comments have been deleted. The latest self-identified as a Slime Pit member. Ophelia Benson says: July 15, 2012 at 4:51 pm Iâ€™m not looking at it at all, and I donâ€™t really want to get into conversations a...

Wow, someone got deleted quick.

I would post a linkback to where Pam Gay's speech is first mentioned here, but I don't think it would stay up long. :(

It is odd, there is nothing here negative about PG.

I added a comment.

http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... ent-221286

The main troll focus was on the gaming girl episode as an example, btw.

Weird why we would disagree with any of it. They really are deluded.

Overall it wasn't a bad presentation. I did read the entire thing. I find it odd that there are many commenters saying she was "brave" and "courageous" for giving it at TAM. I didn't read anything controversial in it. It was a well prepared, thoughtful and empowering speech. Maybe a Guest can clue m...

And from that latest PZ post.

What Pamela Gay said

Since in the comments someone is saying the slimepitters are against what she said, I guess some of us should read the transcript to see what we're supposed to hate about it.

I think points go to Thunderf00t this round:

I'm really enjoying the back and forth between these two, much more than the other crap.

I see. Now I guess it should be posted to help people search in Tapatalk.

You might want to see about getting Tapatalk to fix the name. I'm not sure who it is, but it's called by a mans name, with the tagline "the slyme pit xxx" or something

And it works fine! Thanks

@skepdirt just tweeted this: http://skepdirt.wordpress.com/2012/07/1 ... efinition/

Serious question. Where will the best videos of TAM be posted?

There are a few of them I'm interested in watching.

lol, using a picture posted by an unregistered user. hell, he could have posted it.

At least they're having fun:

PZ Myers â€@pzmyers

Sic semper tyrannis! RT @rebeccawatson: Every word of this is true! http://ow.ly/1OhfOE

Karma/Rep have a tendency to be abused in all the instances I've seen.

Wow, LeftSidePositive is a piece of work.

I was really enjoying the back and forth of the comments, then *POW*, she starts in with the profanity and name calling. Whew.

Unstable.

Also, I follow Penn, and I haven't seen that from him. Though I did see Rhys post a link to someone with that same screenshot.

He also called Penn an "arse" for posting it. I don't think he's being skeptical.

Is that real? Are you friends with him on FB? By the way - I'm seeing Heather Henderson (of Ardent Atheists) stand up to the nonsense and use the #FTBullies hashtag. Our numbers ('us' being vocal opponents of FTBad) have grown considerably in the last month or so. The FTBullies are using the #FTBul...

I do have an observation. If you ever start getting complaints of double posts in the larger threads. (There is only one large thread at present, but...), I would suggest you split it and re-start in a new thread. Forum databases really get wonky when the threads get larger. Just something to keep i...

Ok, I'm gonna have to avoid Twitter for a few hours. Or maybe the rest of the weekend ologies â€@ologies Congratulations! You are a woman who feels safe at #TAM2012 - I am too! This does not invalidate the harassment policy debate. Rhys Morgan â€@rhysmorgan Oh, Iâ€™m sorry @HeatherHenderso. Sorry ...

These are the only two instances that I've heard of any at freethought/skeptic/atheist conference

I've only heard of elevator guy and camera-on-a-telescoping-pole guy.

I've been curious about these other "incidents" some keep referring to.

lol, just very satisfied with my $2.99 investment. :)

Sweet, thanks Lsuoma, Tapatalk is THE app for mobile posting.

Have you looked at the feasibility of using Tapatalk for mobile users?

From my understanding, it's pretty easy to install.

Comments? [Editorial]Atheism, Feminism and Ego Loved that summary. I don't know how big their traffic is, but I hope it gets bigger. Just went back to look again...

But, let's hope Lsuoma doesn't have to move around too much, and maybe if he can get around to it, the odd plugin might be installed to please us even more. Here's some homework for someone, then.

Hey. I'm Skeeve from atheiststoday.com. I've been an ERV lurker/sometimes commenter since around 2008 I think. All the forums and blogs kinda run together.
