Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It

[Garlic]

You know what's more common than dead pigeons on the "Promenade des Anglais" sidewalk? South-American trans prostitutes. And you know what's their favorite passtime/trying to get clients? Grabbing people's crotch. And they do tend to grab mine a lot.

Not another board member fishing for donations towards their costs.

Sorry Phil, I don't care if you promise to live-tweet it, you'll have to pay them yourself.

Don't be so mean, the only reason he approaches them is to ask for hair care tips!

[Tribble]

Oh, it was so very productive: people got to talk about JV. Peole make blog posts about JV. People tweeted things about JV. JV even got
to have MrSmartyPants MrAhteistPants to appear on his show. So as you can see, it was very productive, well, at least if
you are a JV. For all the non-Justin Vacula people, it was not productive at all.

Oh Jesus Fucking Christ. Let the boy have some fun.

Another way to look at it is if Justin went to WIS2 and then didn't follow up, it would prove the point previously made by the same people criticizing now that the first time it was a one-off stunt without purpose.

If you want to have an ambassador for burying the hatchet and proving the threat narrative people wrong, Justin is a good pick. First, he's so innocuous that he might not even have a blood type. Second, he paid his dues in the form of being harassed, targeted and generally fucking lied about by the same people in attendance at the conferences who are used to winning by forfeit. If these people are proven wrong about Justin's intentions or any intentions of a male taking interest, it's worth proving them wrong again.

You may claim nothing new was learned by Justin's live blogging, so in that case I would assume you are content to know what, if anything, happens as filtered by the usual cadre of ideologue scumbags because, as we know, people like Ophelia Benson, Rebecca Watson and Melody Hensley just scream "reliable narrator".

Is there some self promotion in what Justin is doing? Yes. That's how it's done. That's how you raise your profile, that's how you get things done, that's how you potentially displace the usual incestuous group of relentless self-promoters who are not only self-promoting but doing harm to the skeptical movement. If you are not capitalizing on a chance at self-promotion then you are probably like me, which means sadly lacking in the minimal level of ambition to succeed.

Stop tearing the man down because he's just not doing what you would do and, on that point, someone remind me what you have done lately.

This sums it up for me. Also, when is your next video coming out?

[Skeptic_Duh]

Instead of giving money to Justin - give to this:

If you don't - your a fucking racist!

[TheMudbrooker]

Would be lovely to have you around.

And no, I'm not a serial killer praying on internet people.

That's exactly what a serial killer preying on internet peole would say.

No, they would spell "preying" right. And also "people". Not sure anymore. It's late, I had wine.

The spelling would depend on what the serial killer was up to, if they were pursuing/capturing/killing someone in the manner of a predator then they would be "preying". However, many serial killers are deeply religious so "praying" on someone isn't that far out of the question. "peole" is just wrong.
I can't give you too much shit, I can't spell at all in French, I can never remember where to put the apostrophe. :lol:

[Tribble]

There's not going to be any "burying of the hatchet" and people who think there is are severely fucking deluded. If they're not outright lying about their intentions. Gumby was basically correct, if you're paying for Vacula to go to this thing, you're doing so because you hope he'll piss the speakers off by his presence.

Don't pretend otherwise, it's transparent as fuck.

You're missing the point. There will be people like OB, RW, etc. But there will be OTHERS who are the polar opposites, unless (of course) you think women all march in lockstep. And in between, there will the undecideds and uninformed.

I'm pretty sure JV knows he's not going to be giving OB mustache rides anytime soon. But he may do some good work with those other groups, or not depending on how the well gets poisoned.

But as to the last, nobody you knows. Not you. Not me. Not JV. Not Pope Myers. Nobody. Stupid opinions to the contrary.

I don't approach them. They just get in the middle of the sidewalk and grab one's cock as you pass along. One even did it once while I was walking hand-in-hand with Ali! It was, let's say, awkward.

The hypocrisy and sexism of Jamie Kilstein

http://www.skepticink.com/justinvacula/ ... -kilstein/

With all of this rhetoric about “rampant misogyny,” the secular community being “hostile to women,” and filled with “dangerous male speakers,” we have, right here, a very clear example of someone who has negative attitudes toward women. …and I suspect Kilstein is not the only self-professed “secular feminist” who fits the mold.

Hypocrisy and sexism are the order of the day for Jamie Kilstein – “one of the best secular feminists.” Will the same bloggers who were enraged at Ron Lindsay attack someone who actually deserves it for once? Will the “secular feminists” shun Kilstein and, for once, decry one of their own as a misogynist?

Good find. What a douche. They have the magnifying glass here, and the other eye is closed, though.

I'm in the middle of cooking dinner, but I want to show you how Canuck's reading skills manifest into radfem bullshit:

Jason Thibeault I find it terribly disingenuous to claim that the passage ending with "You are SO fucked" that Stacy pasted above, is mere disagreement. Or that this is some kind of litmus test as to who can associate with whom. You presently back off hard from supporting people whose positions on tangentially-related topics are loathsome to you personally -- don't tell me you don't, DW and Carl. You just draw different lines. For instance, you draw the line at wanting atheists in general to be more supportive of women and minorities, and sneer and jeer at any attempt to bring "social justice" into the movement. You've done so here, suggesting that feminists are not skeptics or rationalists. So, surely you have a litmus test by which you're not willing to just live and let live within the community.

This is on the FFRF FB page, the post that MaiForPeace made
https://www.facebook.com/groups/friends.of.ffrf/

I'm really not sure who he as me confused with, but I have never suggested any of the above. In that thread, I was asking the posters in general if they were skeptics and didn't mention gender. They're just trying to poison the well against Justin a'la SCAofPA. And it's bullshit.

You want to know about street harassment? I can tell you about it, but it won't please the SJWs.

Every thursday I rehearse with a cover band (told you people about it before). Once in a while I have to walk home (4.5 km) at night because the designated driver is not around.

You know what's more common than dead pigeons on the "Promenade des Anglais" sidewalk? South-American trans prostitutes. And you know what's their favorite passtime/trying to get clients? Grabbing people's crotch. And they do tend to grab mine a lot.

So, what's it gonna be this time: I'm racist, transphobe, misogynist, or I don't like strangers grabbing my crotch? I'm confused...

Perhaps you should invest in an armored codpiece.

[KiwiInOz]

Some may. That wasn't my purpose in donating. I wouldn't suggest she change her plans to attend but that's really up to her.

I do hope she is able somehow to get some perspective on all of this. She seems to be slipping farther & farther into a fixed delusion. :(

What was your purpose in donating? It wasn't annoying people. So obviously it was something else. Maybe you're hoping there's going to be a teary reconciliation in the same hotel that kicked this shit off? People are going to see Justin and wonder to themselves.... he's a nice young man, should I be reading FTB?

Or just maybe because they support JVs secular and skeptical agenda and feel pissed off at the crap coming his/their way.

That was wonderful!

By the way, on the Feminst Frequecy Facebook page it says:

We're nearing completion on our next video focusing on the intersection of violence against women & the Damsel in Distress trope in modern games. We're working with some extremely graphic & triggering imagery and it's been difficult to decide how much violence against women to show.

"Extremely graphic and triggering imagery" in computer games. I can't wait for their review of Tom and Jerry.

What? How the fuck? This is going to be the epitome of stupid I think.

How the hell do you take the Damsel in Distress trope, which states that women need and/or are worth protecting, and intersect that with violence against women? They are two messages pulling in the exact opposite direction.

I mean, you could do something about the DiD trope and say that because of it we tend to not want to put women in positions of responsibility and protect them from things which really limits them. I might disagree with the SCOPE of the problem, but at least there's some sort of logic there.

But here? It's nothing. We're talking polar opposites here.

1. I don’t. Yes, I put it that way in the post, but no, I did not literally mean that’s the only reason he’s doing this. It certainly is part of the reason though. And don’t patronize me. You’re not getting this kind of shit, and if you were it wouldn’t be aimed at your real public person under your real name. I don’t need advice from you.

2. Are you stupid? It’s not expensive for him to fly to Ireland, is it! He’s getting it totally funded, so well funded that he can go in luxury. I’m not going in luxury. I’ll have a lot of out of pocket expenses, which as a freelance are actually expensive to me. (Yes I know, the pit thinks I should “get a job.” Freelancing is a crime, in their view.) Contrary to the myth, I do not get paid to do this. Not one penny.

3. Fuck that shit. Yes I’m a blogger; no that does not mean I deserve a torrent of sexist bullshit flung at me every day.

4. How nice for you. (I know your name and occupation and location too.) But you should have the minimal decency to recognize that other people don’t, and refrain from egging on people who throw torrents of sexist bullshit at women who have the audacity to blog under their own names.

5. Just as he did weekend before last, right? No, not right. Do stop bullshitting.

By the Drowned God, she's full of shite.

"I'm not going in luxury." Well, why the fuck should you? Just going to Dublin, and having meals and hotel paid, is a luxury to most, you smug entitled prune. Do you go hungry at those meetings? Do you have to sleep rough on the streets? No? How nice for you. None of you could even be arsed to get a cup of coffee for a visually-impaired person attending the conference. Selfish twat.

Actually, if you put yourself forward in public in any way, it's the public who gets to decide what you deserve. Say, if Jamie Kilstein gets on a stage and starts doing really really lame stand-up comedy, isn't it up to the audience to decide if he deserves to be booed off stage?

Lawrence Krauss was on Q&A last night. Normally I enjoy listening to the guy. Highly intelligent and an expert in his field. But he came across like a boorish one trick pony.

Now I am as athie as the next misogynist, but he could have discussed humanity's failings as epitomised in religion and other superstitious dogmatic institutions, rather than focussing solely on religion. Religion is but one codification of human nature at its best, and its worst, warts, flaws and all.

One last attempt at Ophelia's (in moderation, and I suspect this time won't be let out). Thought I'd copied it, but apparently I'm as much a failure at that as I am at everything else. For those keeping track, thus far I've been asked if I'm stupid, called a bullshitter and a flaming something (ass?), told I've had an epic fail. (I still think "bullshit" is a gendered term, but didn't say that).

For this last one, smhil said something like "I really hope you take a look at your behavior here" so I pointed out 3 things Ophelia had done in the thread:

1) The OP and an early comment by Ophelia said/implied that Justin would be going to Dublin to follow her. She didn't correct subsequent commenters who offered sympathy, a T-shirt, and lines about how he is a stalker.

Then I replied to her reply to my first comment: "1) Why do you assume that a person who publicly makes plans to attend a conference is doing so “to follow you around”? ..." , which was answered by Ophelia saying flat out "I don’t. Yes, I put it that way in the post, but no, I did not literally mean that’s the only reason he’s doing this. It certainly is part of the reason though...."

2) If Ophelia thought my comments were so awful, why did she let them through moderation. Yeah, that's totally my fault.

3) If it were my blog and someone said she didn't want her RL name public because of her job, I wouldn't use the person's real name publicly. (Ophelia probably learned my name from Stephanie, but PZ and a couple of other people less in the direct limelight on "that side" also know it.)

(In a post that did get through, earlier, I pointed out (a) that being in the public view inherently entails getting some approval and some disapproval, and (b) that she was getting her airfare + conference registration + hotel covered for the Dublin conference - when she said she wasn't "getting paid for this" - but I didn't focus on it being a luxury, or a benefit that most people couldn't get.)

It seems Opheliar may be planning to hijack the Dublin conference by wearing an item of clothing with some kind of "meaning". I hope it doesn't send Justin into fits of tears, like that tearsome trinketeer when faced with the terrible cloth-based words "I am not a Skepchick".

Giliell: Ophelia Do you mind giving me your address (privacy guaranteed) and T-shirt size? I think you need a special one…

Opheliar: Giliell, how kind. Sure – shall I use your eem address on your log-in?

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/wiki/Slymepit

Slymepit
The Slymepit (no link -- hate speech policy) is a discussion board that began as a series of unhinged discussion threads on the ScienceBlogs site of formerly-respected virologist-blogger Abbie "ERV" Smith in the wake of Elevatorgate and moved to its own site as a result of National Geographic's takeover of ScienceBlogs. Its entire reason for existing is to create a massive circlejerk around the meme that "feminism is poisoning atheism", and as a result is heavily dominated by the kind of atheists who tend to prefer leaving their prejudices about women, economics, and occasionally race unexamined. They don't particularly like us, and have adopted Slymepitter Franc Hoggle's term "baboons" to describe feminist skeptics. They also really don't like Rebecca Watson, PZ Myers, Jen McCreight, or anyone who calls them out on their crap. The entire exercise seems to be one enormous justification for being allowed to hit on women on elevators in the wee hours of the morning.

Its existence is more sad and pathetic than anything else; outside their unexamined prejudices, a lot of Slymepitters were formerly respected, but have been largely ostracized from the more self-questioning sides of skepticism, and therefore see themselves as being bullied by mean ol' women and manginas. It is likely but not confirmed that there's some overlap with the men's rights movement.

The term also refers to the overall culture of people who believe and/or promote Slymepittish things, even if they aren't, strictly speaking, a member of the group.

Brilliant. Couldn't have been written better as a means of separating the gluten-free wheat from the chaffy sheep-goats.

Send me there. I promise to wear a baklava.

You promise to wear a Lebanese pastry?

Oh, we understand it alright. We understand it perfectly well.
