I figure he's probably a competent professor, but his publishing record is basically zilch -- he is more of a science teacher than a practicing "scientist." And if you're not doing a lot of original research you don't have much opportunity or motivation to fudge the facts or let your ideology obscure them. If PZ were in a soft science or any field with more room for interpretation, and trying to publish more actively, I have every reason to believe his shitty, self-serving ethics and his cavalier attitude toward the truth would be quite evident in his work.Jack wrote:What throws me is the fact he is a Scientist and if they are not only Skeptic but willing for their ideas to be examined with close and brutal scrutiny they do not last long.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
I'm calling troll on that Strubbe character - looks to me like he was trying to push all the buttons short of declaring that he likes to go out on the rapey-rapey for a lark.
I see the Nerd app is having another meltdown over there - looks like it's need of an upgrade; 'adequacy101.DLL' might have been feasable if the OS wasn't so obviously buggy.

What this guy wrote was at the very least asinine. Being banned from a blog is hardly a punishment, but I wouldn't want to give someone like this an audience either. I hope he doesn't come here. However, knowing how it works over there, the question is always: "does it have to do with reality?" All of the topics that involve some social justice are full of traps, baits, wires and alert buttons. If someone goes in there, clueless and more so with the real name (so it looks like), they are entangled in no time and very quickly dressed up to be their witch of the day. It actually doesn't matter what they actually think. There is no room for misunderstanding, no room to reconsider views or anything the like. Most people, when accused, have the initial reaction to explain themselves, trying to wash their names clean or at least come away halfway decent, which over there only leads them deeper into the morass. It possible that they then unleash their real views, but it could also that they become just trollish.Apples wrote:Dennis Strubbe over at Pharyngula trotted out a bunch of tired, fairly incoherent arguments about mitigating rape risk, etc. (not quite sure English is his first language), and I actually have no major qualms about the way they handled him before banning him ...

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
I do see how it could be read that way. Intent is not magic and all that, and it could be viewed, and with justification as sloppy.Steersman wrote: Yes, quite agree. I think part of the problem is that I didn’t notice that Andrew said “If I can ridicule people for their bad ideas then they should be equally free to ridicule mine†which says that he can ridicule people for their ideas but they can only ridicule his ideas – probably not what he intended.
So let me flesh that out for you:
"If I can ridicule people for their bad ideas then they should be equally free to ridicule me for mineâ€
I do reserve the right the right to say they are stupid, instead of just saying the idea is stupid. Likewise I have no objection to them doing the same.
Although while I may refrain from doing so and just attack the idea, I have no particular objection to being attacked personally in return.
It brings a smile to my face, because it tells me that they have no argument, or have run out of arguments and have to resort to attacking my corpus, rather than my idea.
Furthermore, when they do something like say, call Phil a MRA, no doubt intended to be in their eyes as a deadly insult, designed to wound, and be especially hurtful, they have no grounds to complain if someone then photoshops the head of PeeZuss Christ on top of a dildo.
You can argue of course that the two are not the same. But at that point you may as well ask me how many fucks I give while you are at it.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
My response is to say male and female as often as possible, and in fact to try and use them when I would normally have said man and woman.Apples wrote:Before you leap, just keep in mind that saying "male and female" when referring to humans is apparently now verboten at Pharyngula, and in addition to "homosexual" it looks like "stupid" may be upgraded to the status of slur at A+theism.AnonymousCowherd wrote:Has anyone got a handy list of all the things I'm supposed to denounce today? Wouldn't want to upset Those Who Only Stand and Watch.
If you hear someone say something like, "Certain male homosexuals, such as Josh the Spokesgay and Tony the Queer Shoop, are stupid," you should make sure to point out that the offender is a homophobic, fascist, ableist, motherfucking nazi.
Just like I have said cunt here in the last year or so, around a bazillion times more than I ever had before in my entire life. Likewise all the other bad wurds you get from me.
I suppose strictly speaking that qualifies as trolling.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
I didn't follow his argument throught hte entire comment section but his initial argument seems sound for "stranger rape". We men are also advised to 1. Travel in groups/with a buddy (at night especially). 2. Do not go into seedy parts of town/ known violent areas. 3. Don't flash a lot of cash around. etc. These are basic precautions that everyone must decide to follow (or not) to help reduce risk of all "stranger crime".Aneris wrote:What this guy wrote was at the very least asinine.

Now when the hoard began to apply these rules to "non-stranger rape" (date rape, marital rape etc.) then his argument was not applicable and he should have said so. Owlglass then eloquently set out a program which IMO has a chance of reducing the date rape type of cases.

But I am apparently out of the loop these days. They went and changed it from MRM (Men's Rights Movement) to MHRM (Men's Human Rights Movement) without sending me the memo.
For all I know they think I went feral like Kurtz or something because I have not checked in for quite awhile now, instead I spend more time here than there. Willard might even be heading upriver for a few words even as we speak.

Dr Janice Fiamengo, a professor of English at the University of Ottawa, gave a talk at the University of Toronto about the politicisation of academia by militant feminists.

I also suspect that this talk may be relevant here also, because we have P.Z. Myers and others attempting to inject some form of feminist ideology into the S/A community.

Whatever PZ did of that was a long time ago. To me, he has always been more of a biology teacher than a scientist. OK, so he tortures the occasional zebrafish.Jack wrote:

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
I've been following that thread as it's produced a good few laughs. They are so up their own fundaments there is nothing they won't find fault with. Also e4e5 is the first person on there I have seen using reason and logic. He's screwed.Barael wrote:Sylvia Sybil in the "Pitters are literally Hitler cuz Setar sez so"-thread:
Come on folks, 'fess up, who's been doing the rape and assault (?) threats to the poor A+:sers again? It's not like they'd just make up shit like that, would they? Cause they're decent and good and moral people over there, aren't they?I understand you wish to highlight the differences between the pitters and the Nazis. But I ask you to honor the same request you made to Setar, and not hyperbolize slurs, harassment, rape threats, and assault threats into "immature disagreement".
Personally I'm disappointed the guy who dared point out that fascists like, murdered a few million people, hasn't been banned yet. Come on A+ mods, you know you want to!

Yes, especially if he is struggling to get assistance.Gumby wrote:Might explain his behavior, at least partially.

I admire him for his apparent devotion, not that it makes him less of a moronic, obnoxious piece of shit as a commenter.

Should quote Setar too, for context, and lulz.Barael wrote:Sylvia Sybil in the "Pitters are literally Hitler cuz Setar sez so"-thread:

I'm betting that Setar is sitting in a smoky room right now watching the history channel and jotting down notes. Maybe underlining "demonisation of the out-group" a few times, unaware of the irony.And this is exactly what I meant when I put "OH NOES, I REFERENCED TEH NAZIS" in brackets -- because I knew that someone was going to come along with a big crying eraser about how Fascism is REALLY REALLY ACTUALLY BAD and to not compare the Slymepit to that because that's unfair.
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe I know a thing or two about Fascism, and the comparison might have something more to it than pure hyperbole? Like, y'know, observing similarities in behaviour, even if the medium and thus the available courses of action are different? Do I not get to do that where Fascism is concerned?
Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Lighthearted joke or horrible death threat against a pitter?

For the record, I can see it as a joke, although a rather morbid one. But this again reeks of hypocrisy coming from people who milk every instance of a person saying "I wish you got ... " or "If I were a girl I would ...".
Again, it's a joke if they doing, a horrible violent misogynistic death threat if someone else does it.

Improbable Joe also has that weird habit of typing [meta] before his posts when they're not in the slightest. Some kind of inside joke?

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
By the way, I didn't quote-mine Setar above. I know it might look like that, but that's really the entire post.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
re the Minnesota concentration... So lousy canuck is moving there? Did he win the green card lottery or is he going to be an illegal? Maybe PZ thinks he can get him to cut his lawn.
About 15 yeary ago my sister and her family moved to South Dakota to a town not far from Morris and of similar size. Quite the culture shock for her. For instance, she was shunned for a while, until she figured out why. It got better after she explained a few times that she and her husband were indeed married even though they had different last names. And the town absolutely revolves around the highschool football team. She summarized living there as living in the 1950s except with suvs everywhere.
So this is likely true in Morris too and may have coloured the views of this cabal, although likely not so bad for those in bigger cities in the state.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
My last post should say "it's a joke if they do it" instead of "it's a joke if they doing". And I even previewed it :(
Guess it's time to go home and shut down the brain

Ha ha ha ha ha - isn't that funny? The Slymepit = AVfM = a mob of racist terrorists. Presumably now that it's fashionable in baboon-land to compare equity feminists and others who disagree to Stormfront, the Nazis, fascists, mass-murderers, and homicidal vigilantes, they will stop complaining when people like Paula Kirby refer to them as the femistasi. But I won't hold my breath.AnthonyK wrote:I understand the website “A Voice for Lynching†was still trying to attract talented young photoshoppers to provide content at the time, but yes, those radical anti-lynchers were a minority fringe then.
