That's just perfect! You win, Gefan.

Changing subjects a bit - I'm very surprised that Rebecca Watson has gone silent on her blog for the past 10 days. ... Actually, knowing what we all know of her, 10 days may just be a "weekend bender" for those of us normal people. ... Isn't tomorrow Thursday, and so time for another outrageously f...

Just shut up and listen!

3. Write, "I think you’re right," in Comments sections of articles, Facebook postings etc. of feminist women. Whether or not they’ve been harassed or attacked, agree with them and do so publicly. ... Publicly agree with women (Feminist women) whether you actually agree with them or not ? What a...

... As far as I know, the mapping of the genes shows that there has not been enough time for the human races to diverge. So, treating races as entities that can say meaningful things about mental or physical abilities etc. of people is wrong, unscientific, *and* racist. ... Razib (and many others) ...

Just gave a small donation to help get JV to Ireland. Looks like he has about $620 to go to reach his $3500 target. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/send-justin-vacula-to-empowering-women-through-secularism-conference-in-dublin I hope he makes his goal in time to get plans all sorted out. I do like...

Okay, so let's just say that Ophelia Benson emails me at an email address* that isn't the one under which I posted at her site, one which I haven't used it at FtB in many months (if not a year or so), and in that email addresses me by my professional title & last name, chastising me for my post(s) ...

RationalWiki has a new Slymepit page. Quite funny in an over-the-top SJW way. (I'm unable to figure out how to copy a link on my ne,w tablet, so y'all gotta go google it yourself.) Okay, I'm at a computer that allows me to cut and paste (or, one where I know how to do it): http://rationalwiki.org/w...

For any FTBers or A+ supporters reading this: Can you please decide whether or not archiving tweets is a form of harassment? The rule is quite simple: it depends on your privilege level relative to 1) the person who's tweet you propose to archive or 2) any person who might happen to be the topic of...

A new hashtag is "trending" in our little community. Apparently started by RichardReed84, #VaculaMustDenounce . The idea is that per Silverman, Justin Vacula approves of everything he didn't denounce. I'm waiting for Vacula's input on the Xbox-One fiasco. #VaculaMustDenounce Along the lines of what...

I love how Mellody and a few others describe this as a PR Nightmare, despite the fact that outside of their own little clusterfuck of a crowd, no one seems to care very much. When you and the other leaders of your org are camped out in a conference room hiding from reporters outside, that's a PR ni...

Haha. I have just been trying to defend Ronald Lindsay over at Pharyngula against the attempted character assassinations by PZ and his commentariat (thread called “It’s 4am and people are really annoyed”). Now I have been banned, supposedly because PZ “checked” and found that I had posted...

Justin - I understand the points you make in your piece - and you make a very effective argument - but you did leave the door wide open for her criticism with this sentence: "I fail to see how refusing to believe in God leads to ‘the logical conclusion’ of abandoning the belief that women exist...

Shorter Nugent: Can't we all just get along and stop upsetting the feminists. 1. We can choose to robustly debate our disagreements about ideas, while not personally insulting or mocking people who disagree with us. 2. We can choose to want to de-escalate, rather than escalate, the hostility and hu...

A side note about a side bar. I noticed on FfTB's sidebar the name Natalie Reed and remember where PZ made a big story how she was harassed out of the movement by, when I remember correctly YOU (yes, you personally, Slymepitter). It was probably the first time I heard about you guys and found it we...

This is why I can't follow the Nugent threads. You guys have been giving a perfectly clear and articulate airing of issues for all opposition in those threads, yet the second they see it it's just run through the feminist "Is this offensive?" machine, completely misinterpreted, and the battle rages...

Patronizing much?

He's acting like a parent using pointed questioning to try to lead a child to verbalize the (predetermined) error of their ways. So much for his claim of acting in good faith.

It's one of the bigger ISPs in England, but the IPs all match to a dynamic pool that all map geographically to Hampshire. I'm in the UK which may get a closer match, you can PM it to me if you like. Not sure it will help but maybe worth a try. Also, if you prefer not to that's fine. I think he said...

Just as I'm bored here is the wiki extract for the fallacy Sally Strange made. She tried to make the terms A and B complete and of the same class but of course provided no evidence to support it, just assertions easily dismissed: Syllogistic fallacies See also: Syllogistic fallacy People often make...

PZ steps in it a bit with his current post. Dan Savage just got "Humanist of the Year." Peezus titles his post "Dan Savage and I have something in common" (PZ got the award in '09, incredibly) and pledges to give Savage a hug when he sees him. To all of you who’ve been exasperated with the refrac...

Anybody seen this? Listen at 1:07:30 (youtube:21DGazrEZlE) Well, it was more Brownian making a 'joke' at the expense of Mexican American immigrants, and the rest just laughed.

This issue of what constitutes consent is a pretty hot one - falling somewhere between unconcious at one end of the spectrum (I hope we could all agree that's a No!) all the way up to getting lawyers involved - with this current fad for enthusiastic consent becoming quite predominant. I read somewh...

A book singing by an author who happens to be a black lesbian female. A pasty, wispy-looking berk approaches her with a copy of her book to sign. 'Did you enjoy it?' asks the author, beaming as she clicks her pen. 'Well...not really,' replies the pale SJW. 'It's just that I became aware of I was ma...

Re: Novella-- Dude couldnt even casually link to the Nature or Science article that mentioned me (didnt even have to link to ERV!) regarding XMRV? Hes not neutral. Maybe this is why: http://slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=259&start=2043 (or maybe not) :-) Oh, and everybody just fuck off.
