Er, yep, that's rather weird. Damion, any comments? Franc is a huge pain in the ass at times, and a bloody genius at others. But he's not a hate-monger. Well, not as far as I can tell, and I've been following the guy for almost two years.
Same here. Actually Im a little irritated at the new-gnu-anti-gnu-new atheists (whatever we're up to now). Plenty of people (big names too) were locked in step when the slur of misogyny had an edge to it. Franc has done groundwork, and weathered a lot of the early shit slinging when others believed it. Calling him a blight is way out of line. People like him opened up the floor to more beige and sterile people to voice their disagreement. Plus the lulz in his writing are epic. Its the right blend of insight and shock language.

Of course Franc is not a hate-mongerer. He spreads love all the time. Specially when he posts shit like this:

I'm guessing franc thinks chanting "cunt" counts as argument. Oh poor deluded little fuckface.

I'm guessing when he comes around to see this, he'll have a hissy fit and spread more love around, hahahaha.

Where is this hate-mongering? He plays on whatever insecurities these persons have publicized in the past. Benson seems a bit touchy about her own image (age might be a factor), Svan seems a bit touchy about her own image too. And Jen finds dog penises utterly repulsive (IIRC).

Hatemongerer: One who incites others to hatred or prejudice.
I think that's a fair description of what franc is doing with the quoted sentences.

Are those sentences hateful? Well they are certainly full of hate for the individuals concerned (and so are hateful, by definition)

franc seems to have a Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hate side to him. Some of his blog posts are well thought out and inciteful, but some of his interjections as exampled above, seem more like drunken insults, farted in the general direction of his enemies.

IMO franc is without peer when he is analytic, however he loses his mojo when he applies his blowtorch rhetoric to people. None of these people warrant this invective.

Oh, ok. Thanks Dick, I'm not the most consistent person at the Pit. I find these invectives distasteful, but they don't bother me that much as, as I said, they play on the mentionned people's insecurities.

I don't know, I may have this all arse-backward.

Skep tickle wrote:I would guess that Stephanie Zvan was Ophelia's source (but that's just a guess).

I'd used my full name in communications behind the scenes with Michael Nugent & Monette Richards for Nugent's atheist/skeptic dialogue site, and know that each of them communicated with Stephanie Zvan about various aspects of the process. I also posted maybe 2-3 times more than a year ago at Stephanie's site using my real first name and, I think, the email address Ophelia used. (The one I've used at FtB for posting since then is long-defunct; I confirmed that before posting her email above. And she didn't use the email address I'd used for the Nugent effort.)

Seems less likely to have come from remote other posts at FtB, or from PZ's interactions with the group I belong to that had him give a talk here a couple of months ago.
Whatever Ophelia's source, ultimately she is the one who has chosen to use the information as a threat. She's also the one who used your first name in the comments. I think these are calculated, deliberate choices on her part, and not the random cognitive flailing about of dementia or mental illness. I could be wrong, of course, but my impression is that she knows quite well what she is doing, and what the consequences might be for others. Manipulative, duplicitous, and absolutely the worst of the bunch.

Skep tickle wrote:Re paranoia: Just listened to Mykeru on The Angry Atheist. (LOL at the sealant analogy.) Mykeru, I shook a finger at you on twitter yesterday but now may be "helping" here, if inadvertently and reluctantly.

I'd like to point out that I did not bring up anything at Ophelia's about my background & whether it might add something to my impression about her reaction to the news about Justin planning to attend the Dublin conference. She alluded to knowing my profession, after which I said that maybe that helped explain my concern.

As far as publishing her email, do it. First, I've never understood where people got the idea that someone maintains ownership of an email once they send it to me. At that point it's mine and I can do what I like with it. Of course, you don't publish emails of friends and innocents, but as Ophelia is dancing around outing and harassment, she can go fuck herself.

The answer as to what to do, based on my own experience and others, when they start this is simple. The rational, reasonable urge to not further provoke them doesn't work. As we've seem before, when Greg Laden, Ophelia Benson et. al. get it in their head to run this playbook, they do it. Because they want to. Because it gives them the illusion of power.

My suggestion is to publish, show what they are up to and generally pop them right in the nose. Once they get it into their head that the only tool they have left is harassment, the only way to derail them is to call their bluff, expose them to scrutiny and show that, whatever they are threatening, is no threat.

Its the same as the tweet Melody sent to Mykuruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu cept OB has shown her cards so you know for sure she has them.
Yes, and keep in mind the common denominator in the outing behavior of Melody Hensley and Ophelia Benson is Greg Laden.

Just as an example of how it works in the real world, by the time Melody pulled that, I simply didn't give a fuck. I've experienced serious outing behavior in the past where people needlessly scared my then wife and went after employer with tall tales about me that were dismissed, but served the purpose of harassment.

At that point, and knowing she was in a huddle with Laden, when Melody pulled that direct threat, there was no way I wasn't going to call her on it. The way I called her on it was to put it out there in public for all to see, like turning the kitchen light on a cockroach. In fact, that 45 minute video I did was an exercise in holding my arms wide and saying "Hey everyone, look at what these fuckers are up to".

The response from them? Nothing. Fucking crickets. I imagine they had some furtive conversation which consisted entirely of "Now what?".

And to prove who was the dumbest of that bunch, it was Ophelia Benson who whined about it, which only got her some extra bonus mockery.

When they start threatening, the only thing that stops them is turning a fucking searchlight on them.

There's no way in hell your flight will cost that much.
You can get an airport bus into Busáras, the bus station in downtown Dublin, which is 1.2 km from where the conference is being held. It's a 15 minute walk. That's always a good way to orient yourself in a new city.

Are you going to smuggle Karla in your luggage?
Flights from the large east coast city closest to him (2 hr drive) to DUB start at $1339 according to Orbitz, and there are only a couple of those left. The others are $1450 on up. From the airport closer to his home town, the fares start at $1475-1540 with only a few available at those rates, then go up to $1700-2200.

(I think those prices are without tax/fees.)

Do you know of a lower cost fare? (Barring swimming, or stowing away.)
I take that back then. I shot my mouth off without checking.

Holy crap, that's a lot. Maybe if they did it in during a less popular time of the year the costs would be less.

I generally run neutral on these things, but Damion, putting up a critical post like that and then doing the duck and run really doesn't make you look very good. Like franc points out above, you are playing by FftB rules when you do this. Granted, you didn't post your commentary on the Pyt, but if you are going to publicly post a critique of of someone or something, you should be prepared to defend your post publicly as well.

I like both your and francs respective blogs, not that I agree with either if you 100% of the time. You just threw an FftB style foul ball.

Hey, people, check your teeth privilege.

Bruxism

The upside: According to my dentist, once I fork over $25K to deal with the Temporal Mandibular Joint disorder have surgery to reduce the bone ridges caused by a lifetime of pounding and pretty much cover all my teeth to protect the nerves from mechanical domestic violence, I'll be good as gold.

Reality: In the U.S. all insurance carriers tend to treat all dental procedures as cosmetic and therefore needless.

Fun fact: Waterpick Water Flossers are great, because the mechanical wear of attrition makes my interdental spaces tight enough to just cut floss like it's run through shears.

What I really have to do is buckle down and sell $25,000 worth of T-shirts on Zazzle. If only I had a uterus to e-beg with.

In any case, you've be amazed how hard it is to think when it flares up. Unless I really focus, I could end up agreeing with Cunt.

I'd used my full name in communications behind the scenes with Michael Nugent & Monette Richards for Nugent's atheist/skeptic dialogue site, and know that each of them communicated with Stephanie Zvan about various aspects of the process. I also posted maybe 2-3 times more than a year ago at Stephanie's site using my real first name and, I think, the email address Ophelia used. (The one I've used at FtB for posting since then is long-defunct; I confirmed that before posting her email above. And she didn't use the email address I'd used for the Nugent effort.)

Seems less likely to have come from remote other posts at FtB, or from PZ's interactions with the group I belong to that had him give a talk here a couple of months ago.
Then, unless Lusoma has been leaking like a third division goalkeeper (and, let's face it, Lusoma is at least second division), so much for "detente a la Nugent". You may not be too concerned about it, but if Svan was the source, it was a pretty shitty thing to do.

Anyway, what's Ophelia's real name? Surely no-one is actually called "Ophelia Benson" outside of some low budget 1920's melodrama. "Miss Benson regrets, she's unable to lunch today..."

Right. I can just see Steers with an electric guitar "rig", doing a "salvation army" outside someone's house at 1am. Reading Pinker will do that to the best of them.

Bruxism

The upside: According to my dentist, once I fork over $25K to deal with the Temporal Mandibular Joint disorder have surgery to reduce the bone ridges caused by a lifetime of pounding and pretty much cover all my teeth to protect the nerves from mechanical domestic violence, I'll be good as gold.

Reality: In the U.S. all insurance carriers tend to treat all dental procedures as cosmetic and therefore needless.

Fun fact: Waterpick Water Flossers are great, because the mechanical wear of attrition makes my interdental spaces tight enough to just cut floss like it's run through shears.

What I really have to do is buckle down and sell $25,000 worth of T-shirts on Zazzle. If only I had a uterus to e-beg with.

In any case, you've be amazed how hard it is to think when it flares up. Unless I really focus, I could end up agreeing with Cunt.

Happily, I've never had migraines and don't tend to suffer from headaches, although I'm told comparing a migraine to a headache shows no sense of scale. But yes, it can be pretty debilitating. The pain in the ass thing is I went to my dentist last week in agony and he took a bunch of x-rays. No breakage or decay, it's just the nerves, like someone getting a concussion right through a hard hat. Which makes you wonder about the actual utility of chronic pain and how that fits in with Intelligent Design.

The only thing comparable to this was in the years after I got into a disagreement with three members of a half-assed Harley club in Buffalo, NY for the sin of riding a Suzuki and, not to brag about the damage done to them, I ended up with two stab wounds, a broken nose and right eye orbit. For years after the bone fragments and scarring caused unbelievable sinus headaches. The pressure would build so, when it finally let go, people could hear the "squeeeeee" across the room. It eventually resolved.

Eh, what can you say? Life is pain and only kids and old Freethought Bloggers think they should be immune.

I want to say that it's unbelievable that Ophelia has contacted through, apparently, an address gained by some dubious circuitry. But it's not; instead, it seems to be quite within the standard behavior of this woman to harbor personal vendettas which go way beyond the internet norm (X posts shit about Y, and thenceforth every time X posts, Y responds with some variation on "X is an asshole") and quite clearly into legally (USA at least) dubious territory vis a vis stalking (the very crime she is so insistent is being acted out against herself).

She's a fucking nutbag, and I would suggest that those willing be ready to defend Skep tickle in real life, should this renegade or her online warriors move against xir.
I'd put good money on Skep Tickle to kick any four of their lardy arses. Any more of them than that and they'd be too busy holding a "House meeting!" to decide which order to breathe in.

Pure speculation on my part, but I think there is another attempt and "mending the rift". Some people may be trying to distance themselves from certain posters.

Just stuff I've seen around the 'net recently.

I guess it will go as well as trying to reconcile Islamic and Western values.

There's no way in hell your flight will cost that much.
You can get an airport bus into Busáras, the bus station in downtown Dublin, which is 1.2 km from where the conference is being held. It's a 15 minute walk. That's always a good way to orient yourself in a new city.

http://tinyurl.com/oheooqv

Are you going to smuggle Karla in your luggage?
Flights from the large east coast city closest to him (2 hr drive) to DUB start at $1339 according to Orbitz, and there are only a couple of those left. The others are $1450 on up. From the airport closer to his home town, the fares start at $1475-1540 with only a few available at those rates, then go up to $1700-2200.

(I think those prices are without tax/fees.)

Do you know of a lower cost fare? (Barring swimming, or stowing away.)
I take that back then. I shot my mouth off without checking.

Holy crap, that's a lot. Maybe if they did it in during a less popular time of the year the costs would be less.
I would guess that six months ago those prices were a lot less. Airlines tend to jack their rates up as you get closer to the travel date.

The question for the MRM is "what will we offer the powers that be in return for changes to the areas in which we believe men are disadvantaged". Femocrats have basically offered to not only shut up, but to help keep other fembots diverted. [Real money (and a little real power) soon puts a wedge between the "sisters".] That keeps the screetching down to a low mumur as far as the pollies are concerned, and they can live with that.

Until they can come up with the "outrage" that only menocrats can save them from, change is a long way off the radar of most pollies.

Unless you live in one of those utopias where rational decison making is made to maximise benefit to the community, rather than where the law makers lurch from one crisis to the next, putting out fires with badly concieved laws to score political points and keep their own arse in a seat. But people are rational animals, why would they live somewhere like that?

Personally, I think that scene would be even funnier if it portrayed the woman as Karla, crying because she can't go with Justin.

I suggest some kind of formalised dialogue moderated by Michael Nugent. In six to eight years these crazy kids could really hammer out their differences in a calm and productive fashion.

Thanks! There seems to be quite a lot of terrier in there. I'll have to ask the owner, and if all else fails, I'll just classify her as "shuper cuty pie!". Pics coming soon, of course.

Actually it's not too bad. Unlike most of the other bloggers on FTB, Ally F actually has his own regular commenters. He doesn't need to rely on the spillover from Myers' toilet.
