Exactly.
The new cargo-cult religion that they have lazily established is so very clearly a crude & explicitly deliberate short-term power-game.
They rely on clueless imbecilic tape-worms such as Oolon in EXACTLY the same way that Amway/Scientology operates.
Sucked in, Oolon!

They start with a vague conclusion, and fabricate evidence sufficient to fool suckers like Oolon.

From the outside, adults can see clear through this fascist cult.

Hemant Mehta recently wrote on his website that people should ease up on their criticism of A+theism, because they mean well, or something (link, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyat ... t-atheism/).
I Read Hemant's post comparing Atheismplus to the Brights as a criticism of the sanctimonious posturing of the A+ crowd.
The Brights movement is almost universally recognized as a bad idea amongst the atheist community and the comparison towards the Atheismplus movement cannot be accidental.
Hemant was attacked by Marcotte at the start of the Elevatorgate brouhaha when he wrote a post taking a fairly neutral stand on the issue
- I guess he has too much of rich old white guy priviledge - and so he's tended to steer clear of the matter ever since.

Quite the most sober, considered and academic analysis of Dr. Carrier's manifesto to date:

"Third, I seriously doubt I’ve driven anyone away from Atheism+."

Thats because you've got your head too far up your arse to see the shitstorm you've created.
You Arrogant, self-rightous, pompous, hypocritical, self-agrandising Douchebag!

Well slap me tits and call me Mary, you're on a right old charm offensive tonight ain't yer?

I don't think oolon is being disingenuous nor nothing guvnor, I really don't, so personally I wouldn't have adopted such a flinty disregard for what I assume (as always ... initially) are well-meant observations. But then again you are a Grate Brane, and have presumably spotted indications to the contrary?
I mean only a hopeless lunatic would dredge through the vast ERV archives from scratch, just to get abreast (fnar fnar) of the etiology of this dismal, farcical and (please, let it be soon) transient episode, so it's a bit harsh to jab people in the ring just for ignorance.

Looking at the Twitter feed, there is a lot of criticism towards A+ from women, and yes, feminists, too.

No doubt they will be regarded as "chill girls" or "gender traitors", or summat.

Much of this reaction is from outside of the FfTB/Pit divide, and is more of a general indicator of the ill feeling the majority of the A/S movement has towards the Baboons and their new A+ idea.

Hehe Mike obviously took umbrage at being likened to Father Jack on TFs blog http://thunderf00tdotorg.wordpress.com/ ... mment-5004

He should take it as a complement as his outpourings such as likening FtBs to 'psychopathic ideologues', to Scientology and now a 'facist cult' look to an outsider who is not sufficiently insane to want to trawl through the vast ERV archives as somewhat less coherent than Father Jack... Sorry to be a tone troll but if he is trying to make a serious point then he makes it all too easy to ridicule his position. If he is just trolling FtBs for the lulz then tough luck, you live by the sword then you die by it also.

In relation to having to trawl through the ERV archives to 'get' your point and as you point out someone would have to be a lunatic to do so... Does this not say something of those attracted to this particular internecine conflict?

The feminist issue is the Achilles heel of the whole A+ idea. Feminism has numerous strands that hold incompatible views - particularly in regards to sex positivity. The A+ claim that they can simply apply skepticism to social issues is going to be sorely tested whenever this matter comes to the fore. Some prominent FTB feminists are very sex negative, Ophelia Benson and Taslima Nasreen, for example. Others such as Greta Christina have positions on sex work and pornography that are probably more extreme than that held by many MRAs (for example Greta's view that simulated child pornography is fine for healthy, kinky adults).
These are value judgements.
How are they going to be worked out using skepticism?

If you don't want to understand why ordinarily inoffensive and retiring woodland creatures, such as me and Gray here, are so wound up about this runaway locomotive of shite, then that's fine.
It's just not very sceptical.

All we are after are a few straight answers to a few very, very simple questions.
Always have been. No other agenda, straightup guv.
Those questions were asked in the the first 2/3 weeks of July 2011 (it's spread across a few ERV threads, sort of dotting back and forth, as things occurred to people).

Turns out that's exactly the Wrong Attitude, intolerable for a North American Anglo Bourgeois College Atheist to have to contemplate, what with our nasty snidey foreign privilege and all. Who knew?
Answer came there none, just a squall of abuse and bannings, post-doctoring, deletions and quote-mining, outright lying, trolling and really outrageous stalking. With that fat useless cunt Myers urging the mob on.

Never wastes an opportunity to diss a woman, especially an inconsiderately smarter and crucially, younger actual scientist such as Smith, who shows him up for the stumpy malevolent booze-sodden failure that he is. Him and his co-dependent Watto.
You can almost smell the Fear in those old comments threads of his. Oh no that's right you can't because he redacted the fucking lot. The portly liar.

Apart from that Mrs Oolon, how did you enjoy the play?

Amusing article in the Grauniad today about early "Photoshopping". Fairly interesting in itself, but I particularly liked this (it's collage of various photographs and a painting):

Massimo Pigliucci on Atheismplus (and Richard Carrier)
http://rationallyspeaking.blogspot.ca/2 ... riers.html
Basically he says the stated aims of Atheism+ are good, for the simple reason that they are the same aims of secular humanism.
He then takes a shot at Richard Carrier and brings up some interesting details about Carrier's past behavior.
And now to Richard Carrier. He too immediately endorsed A+ over at Freethought Blogs, but his language was so unnecessarily harsh that I almost called up my priest to ask him for some lessons on Catholic tolerance throughout the centuries (ok, that’s not actually true). I have had occasional epistolary encounters with Carrier, and they have left a seriously bad taste in my mouth. His intemperance with people who happen to disagree — even marginally — with his position is nauseating (just ask the editor of Skeptical Inquirer, who occasionally receives and promptly refuses to publish Richard’s letters about my columns).
And then after mentioning Jens tweet that disowned Carriers first A+ post:
I guess the new movement has already excommunicated someone, and that happens to be its most viciously vocal supporter so far.

I think Ophelia does support Pussy Riot, at least I've seen news reports about them on her main 'butterflies and wheels' page.
I suspect she is not happy about their name but she is astute enough to realize that the only ones not supporting them are Putin and the Russian Orthodox church and she won't want to join with them.

The question I would ask is whether Ophelia supports Taslima Nasreen's views about pornography and prostitution or whether she supports the views of Greta and (Mr) Ed Brayton.

Brian Newton from Leicester covered the Marathon distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles 385 yards) whilst carrying 1 cwt (50.8 kg) of household coal in an open bag in a time of 8 hours and 26 minutes on 27 May 1983¹. So I'm going with a "Yes".

Well, strictly speaking as a skeptic you should go and check for yourself. Nullius in verba, and all that.

However, if it saves you some time, I can verify that MKG's assessment here is both apposite and accurate.

I wonder how much of the A+theist thing is cowardice. If Jen tried to move into the Feminist community she would get the "female chauvinist pig" label fairly quickly (and probably worse). She could have said I am moving on to the community of feminism because that is where my priorities are at the moment. However she is probably aware that in the feminist community she would have to deal with some people who would have her tear ducts at full capacity 24/7. So the soft target was the sceptical/atheist community where people are generally apathetic about the fine points of others political agenda. I think she got something of a taste of the feminist community when she decided to make something of her friends (a male paid with a beer) idea of boobquake. For those interested http://vimeo.com/11967121 is where she says the idea was her friends and she also makes a (not funny but gets laughs anyway) rape joke!
People who are (for want of a better word) leaders like Dawkins are rather humble and also busy getting on with the job, so don't go after pretentious people like Jen. Where as I suspect that there is a more internal policing in the Feminist community and they would be more than willing to deal out the vitriol to a person who has not been in the trenches. Even in the Pit of misogynists and haters, people are I think quite nice, a little mockery but not much in the way of venomous attacking. There is also the Dillahunty folks who are looking for a cause and or community to snuggle up with and give each other warm fuzzies. This is maybe understandable as they have come from religious communities that have this closeness and they perhaps feel lonely. I imagine that going after, and dealing with some of the crazy folks that call his show and the like puts him on edge a bit. So his less than cool, calm, and rational responses to internal criticism may be a reflex/knee-jerk reaction.

Since Richy Carrier can't seem to find the time to approve my comment on his latest blog I'd like to post it here, if you don't mind, in hopes someone will forward it to Richard or better yet force him to read it until he gets the point.
What if we are against all the things you suggest we should be but our biggest problem is we resent people like you insulting our intelligence by acting like we all need you to point out what is obvious?
I think it is safe to say we don't need A+ because we already don't allow the behavior you are talking about to go on. I can speak for myself and say I never have allowed discrimination or intimidation of any kind to go unchecked. That's why I am speaking out against A+. A lot of the people who are at the root of it have displayed behavior that is not fair and/or mature. You don't label people as misogynists just because the person they happen to have a problem with is a woman. If they are making statements that are inclusive of all women then yes it may be appropriate. But if someone says "I think 'female person's name' is dumb" that doesn't mean they are a misogynist. To make that claim is irresponsible at least. That is just one example of why I don't feel comfortable identifying as A+. I also have a problem with your use of "Atheism less" to describe people who don't want to join your new club. What qualifies you as someone who can make such determinations about such a diverse group? I have not been impressed with your abilities to make sound decisions about the true intentions of others up to now. You make too many assumptions about people and you seem a bit paranoid. Last but not least I think it is unhealthy to refuse to deal with people who think differently than we do in any aspect of life. We need to keep communication lines open with the hopes we can effect change for the better. If we give up on or shun people whom with we don't agree with we are enabling them to continue their behavior without any counter to it. I will keep addressing idiocy for as long as it takes no matter what it calls itself. As a side note I would also suggest you have someone read your posts before you present them to the public. You tend to ramble and contradict yourself every so often. I think maybe people could better understand your points if you made them clearly and consistently.

You need a slimepit 101... How come I spent an age over at TFs blog saying what are your aims? Put them simply for me. What are you trying to achieve as it looks like all you want to do is say all of FtBs is shit then like a crazed coprophile you pour over every little bit of carrot and sweetcorn embedded in the shit. Looks like Mike K, John Welch and Tuvok are not on message as they did not make one mention of this amazing revelation.

You fucking moron. Our aims are simple - ethical behaviour and actual Freethought. You fucking imbecile. FTB pisses over both. You are a cult. You drink ideological poison and want more. Noxious vermin. The lot of you would have made excellent concentration camp guards. Moral wasteland. Disgusting slugs.

Users that exhibit bad behavior and/or hatred on other sites:
My understanding is that one of the reasons for Atheism+ is to create a safe space and to not associate with haters....

Given that we already have a slyme pit regular participating ... I think this is a good time to ask the question. IMO if someone is a regular participant on a hate site then you should consider very carefully if they are welcome to participate here.
Does "We Are All Africans" Co-Opt Black Identity?
I was browsing around the RDF store today (thinking about buying a deadtree copy of Greta's book) and I saw that they're selling the "We Are All Africans" shirts. I saw a bunch of these at Reason Rally this year and really liked them. Now, however, I'm wondering how people who are actually African (or more recently African-descended than I am) might feel about the shirts. Do they run the risk of seeming like they're trying to co-opt black identity? I'm sure there are people who relate very closely to their African heritage and I wouldn't want to wear a shirt that implied that I might be trying to lay claim to a heritage that is not my own. Or am I just reading too much into this?

Ideally I'd like to get the shirt as I think it's an interesting conversation piece, but I'd rather make sure my own privilege isn't blinding me to potential problems with the slogan.

Originally my question was basically "Why is Elevator Guy necessarily sexist?"

On the Pharyngula threads I saw multiple people asking this and similar questions that I wanted answered and without exception they were mocked until they left or were banned, but never were their questions satisfactorily answered.

Don't say I'm not good to you. Most of it's here in handy digestible form, courtesy of scat-franc et multi alii.

My first question would be .. Watto, how come you can't tell us what kind of an accent Otis had? Are you deaf? It would explain your vlog voice, I suppose. You poor thing.

Other people want to know shit like " these hundreds of rape-threateners and general-purpose misogynist harassers? That's outrageous! Let's have their IP addys and stuff. FSM forbid they're atheists. Or even men. Let's ID these evil fuckers ASAP."

No more questions m'lud. Well not leastways till we get those answered. Well-known crim tactic in interrogations. Always answer a question with another question. "And whatever ye say, say nothin' ...".

Oolon - the reason why I post here is that I was a poster on the original ERV threads pretty much from the start.

When I saw people being shouted down, banned, accused of x,y,z back in July '11, I thought I should add my voice to those dissenting. Not enough people stood up to it IMO, and that is what gave rise to the attacks on DJ and the vilification of others.

Some people say it's obsessive, but those people often read Manboobz. What's the difference? On Manboobz the guy trawls the web looking for misogyny. Here, we document and discuss this new wave of 'social justice warriors' trying to co-opt the atheism/skepticism movement for their own ends. That's not 'obsessive', any more than the Daily Show is 'obsessive' for watching Fox and laughing at it.

It's just a forum thread. I don't see why people get so hung up about it, wanting to portray it as some kind of 'hate site'. If that's true, then Manboobz is a hate site, FTB is a hate site, the Daily Show is a hate show...

This whole 'guilt by association' rubbish is annoying me as well. If I post on a forum, that doesn't mean that I agree with everything posted by every other poster. Nobody ever thinks that about other forums, so why do they think it about this place? I just see it as an excuse to not have to think, and instead just call someone a 'slimepitter' as if that discredits what they're saying. I've posted on Christian forums too. Does that make me a Christian? Ludicrous.

I agree with Notung although I also agree with Oolon on some points. I don't like to paint people with the same brush whether they are FTB or Slimepitter. Although I have to say that reading these boards helped me to get out of the "cult feeling" of the FTB, world even though I was never a regular poster and the posting antics of many of the pharyngulate really bothered me.

Also, I personally do not have much problem with many of the messages that Jen, Rebecca, PZ and the rest send. But I disagree vehemently with their style of rhetoric. And this not-so-subtle point escapes PZ and the cult. IMO RW's personality is annoying as hell since she has a huge ego and PZ is a giant ideological asshole. That doesn't mean that all of their arguments are wrong but it means that even if I agree with them, I will not like them. But try educating them on this; as soon as you say, "I don't like RW" they shout "Misogynist!" and then they'll pretend that all this controversy started because RW just said "Guys don't do that".

Yeah well I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment - if you just want to parody then I have no issues personally - otherwise I'd be a massive hypocrite (Or more than usual anyway)

But...

Unless this is some sort of sophisticated parody I don't get... I can laugh at it, but it really seems to take itself seriously which is where I get my ammo for parody at Thunderf00ts site. A lot on your side seem to take themselves and their mission far too seriously for my liking and I don't see much of you parody loving types taking the piss out of your own ranks and opinions from time to time...

BTW "franc", if you know anything about Stanley Milgram you will know we all have the potential to be concentration camp guards given only a small push. Just requires a little de-humanisation and a bit of authority.

I think what most people don't understand about privilege is that privileged people get cookies for acknowledging their own privilege. A sign of "getting it" would be to say "hey, I'm just being a decent human being, take the energy you would otherwise be spending rewarding me for recognizing my privilege, and instead use that energy to go educate yourself by listening to minority and non-privileged groups".
However, I assure you this Andy thing is 110% real.
This is some seriously funny stuff. People of privilege literally do not give a flying fuck what "little" people like Andy think, much less if they even exist.

Assuming of course if they even believe they are privileged.

I remember a school mate who was forever moaning that he was the only [family name] without any money, despite having a private income at age 15 (he owned several taxi cabs). He probably made more money in a term than the headmaster made in a year, and this never registered in the slightest. He believed himself to be povery stricken, hard done by in life, and the entirety of his situation to be grossly unfair.

In any event people, it behoves you to remember that one key to success in life, is to choose your parents carefully.

I thought for a second on doing it but then quickly dismissed the idea. It needs way too much time and talent that and I don't have either.

Oh no. The Baboons are fretting over T-shirt messages again! A dozen posters or so on that A+ thread and they can't quite decide if it a a teeny, weeny bit racist, or a bit privileged, or a bit patronising, or something or other. It is hard to see what they are actually moaning about. But since the gripe is directed towards Dawkins, there doesn't need to be a reason, does there?

Oh, and there is a distinct lack of African-American POV's on that thread to put their minds at ease. That A+ site just seems to be a "sea of white", "middle class", "educated", and "privileged".Tsk - they are everything that they hate.

Therein lies your problem - how could you tell some of the more extreme slimepit members from a parody? They'd probably just join in with the conversations on how Peezus's feminazi-nun moon base is nearing completion and how do we get enough giant strawberry flavoured dildo's in time to beat them to death with?

Few points:

1) I have kick-ass parody detection, I guess.
2) I don't agree with everything written on these boards. Sometimes people write some crap that I just roll my eyes.
3) I don't necessarily make my disagreements public. I'm generally a lazy poster. If I disagree with someone and I post my disagreement, then they'll respond, then I will have to respond and then go a few times from there. I'm just too lazy to do that.
4) I don't have the "Someone on the internet is wrong!" syndrome. I can get past the posts that are wrong without itching to click to reply.
5) The message of these boards is to let adults be adults. If you don't like someone or if you think someone is an asshole, or a misogynist, then you can block that person and not see any of his/her contributions ever again. You control what you see or what you reply too and which in return removes the need for a dictatorial father-figure.
6) ....
7) Profit!

Some of the more interesting points
Don’t drink to the point of stupidity if you don’t have someone to keep track of you for the entire evening.

Be aware of your surroundings and the people you are with.

How are you conducting yourself? Are you running around like a drunken ass or are you having a quiet geeky conversation?

Uncomfortable? Extract yourself from the situation. Walk away.

I'm wondering if that's the same slimy Simon who can usually be found adding one last redundant comment on any Baboon topic which has gone past it's sell-by-date. I always get the impression that he's the feeble, little kid who always desperately tags along with the gang, even though the gang is hardly aware that he is there.

Oh, and he goes on to suggest (from the same thread):
Again, I would urge the forum overlords to re-think and perhaps add a thin layer of vetting and/or scrutiny as people join. One option is to have a waiting period before account approval. Another is to allow limited privileges until a certain post-count is reached. I am merely throwing ideas out that have been tried elsewhere and there are no doubt countless others.
E-meters at the ready, fellow Clears!

Didn't James Onen do something like this...somewhere?

Anyways, as for me, I'm in it for the lulz, largely. And the FfTB need to be lulzed at a lot, because unlike countless other internet gobshites, these people mean it and, as with saw with Greg Laden (and the tacit support he received from the FfTB crew) they have no compunctions about attempting to ruin livelihoods to further their agenda.

Also, I will admit to a prurient fascination with the train-wreck that is FfTB: to paraphrase (loosely) Bill Hicks: 'It's like when you find a crack whore squatting in a alley giving birth to a deaf and blind flipper child - I mean, you've gotta look. It's human nature. You just gotta look.'

So yes, to me, gawking at FfTB is a lot like that.

In response to Geofrrey Falk's quote and link regarding the We Are All Africans teeshirt thingy (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/memberlis ... file&u=170).

Do these people who think that that teeshirt might be offensive really, really not understand what that teeshirt is saying?

Jesus crystals. Are they really that fucking stupid? Or are they just twisting crocodile tear-sodden handkerchiefs of polictically correct woe?

Listen up you bunch of numbskulls: Evolution 101, wherein ALL of humaity began in Africa. OK? We are all Africans.

It's just another way of saying evolution matters.

Re: Fat shaming

Postby wytchy » Wed Aug 29, 2012 3:16 am
Fat shaming is bad, but I'm uncomfortable with the way I've seen it swing in reverse. There was a while when these pictures of beautiful curvy women were being juxtaposed with images of anorexic women or skinny models, with the phrase, "When did this (skinny girls) become hotter than this (curvy girls)?" I understand the intent behind it, but it also is, in a certain way, saying that skinny girls are not as hot as curvy girls. I have a few friends who were really offended by this meme that was going around, and I can understand why. I think the discussion needs to shift from focusing on how big or little people are to how healthy they are. [blah blah blah]
I have a sneaking suspicion though that this little twerp saw a magazine cover advertising an article on anorexia and the fashion industry and reasoned that his friends getting offended was a far more important concern. Of course s/he didn't bother to link to an example of what they were talking about...

Jadehawk chimes in afterwards blaming it on the patriarchy of course. The word "hotter" was used and everyone knows that word is exclusively used by men to rate women.

Fuckers.
