BTW, the new A+theism forum will be a potential goldmine of hypocrisy and stupid comments.

Makes our job a lot easier.

The blurb at Atheism+
What is Atheism+?
Atheism+ is safe space for people to discuss how religion affects everyone and to apply skepticism and critical thinking to everything, including social issues like sexism, racism, GLBT issues, politics, poverty, and crime.
Except if you smell! Then you can fuck off! These privileged poseurs don't want the "great unwashed" putting their grubby mitts on the new movement!!!

@Skeeve

I reckon three of those four trolling comments she's talking about are from the same person - this weird 'Tim' character, who appears to have some sort of obsession with her. If this is the case, I honestly don't think she's operating a sock in this respect - by 'convenient', I meant that it could be a pro-FfTBer attempting to do her a misguided favour by posing as the most detestable kind of troll.

Or he could indeed be a major creepozoid.

Given that it's probably he's using various IP addresses (in order to get round the bans), I don't think any info on whatever IP addresses he might be using would do a lot of good.

@CommanderTuvok

It's probably not the genuine Oolon. Given that this 'Tim' who trolled Greta previously was very probably the same troll who threatened to rape Sally Strange (and no, I don't think she was using a sock here) on Tf00t's blog, he'd probably be aware of Oolon's efforts to defend FfTB at Tf00t's place, and probably thought there might be some lulz in posing as Oolon.

This is what really pisses me off the most about this woman:
4: I am getting very tired of people responding to these posts by saying things like, “Don’t give them attention. Don’t feed the trolls.” This has been addressed at length, in the #mencallmethings: “whore” comment thread, and elsewhere. (Here is a very good short video on that subject, summing up why “don’t feed the trolls” is a terrible response to sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or other group-based hate.) The tl;dr: This is not a few trolls trying to get attention and stir up any kind of response. This is a sustained campaign of misogyny, aimed at driving feminist women out of a community. And ignoring it does not make it go away. Ignoring it gives it tacit consent. The only way to deal with it is to point it out, and shame it, and make it clear that our community does not tolerate it. When you respond to a woman speaking out about misogyny by saying, “Don’t feed the trolls,” you are essentially telling us, “Stay silent about the misogynist shit you have to deal with on a daily basis.”
The biggest load of bullshit and it's repeated over and over without any proof whatsoever. Who are these skeptics and atheists that are doing this? They're fucking trolls you stupid fuck.

@Skeeve.

Indeed. And sure, Greta's certainly gone into hyperbole mode here, but I think whatever concerns she might have are justified - albeit for different reasons.

Thinking about it, I'm now disinclined to accept the possibility that it might be an FfTB fanboi attempting to justify Greta's fears by posing as such an odious creature (though I wouldn't discount it as being impossible - Prune's 'threat' letter which turned out to be a missive of advice might, if nothing else, demonstrate a certain kind of 'fan' which the FfTB crowd appeals to); something about the way this Tim/fake Oolon goes on about her nude calendar pic strikes me as obsessional - not so much a troll as a possible stalker, maybe. I'm no fan of playing Internet psychologist, but in this instance, I'd hope Greta was seriously considering going to the law about this person.

I have to wonder whose ahead in the race for "Female Atheist of the Year" at this point, two-thirds of the way through the year - I would estimate it's approximately a tie between McReight and Surly Amy. Both have had to endure such awful tribulation - some people voiced disagreement with McReight, and some other people wore t-shirts and jewelry that Surly Amy found objectionable. :crying-green: Have I overlooked any other good candidates?

(For those of you who are new to all these shenanigans, McReight did a "Female Atheist of the Year" poll last year, of which Rebecca Watson :obscene-drinkingdrunk: was declared the winner. I voted for ERV :dance: :banana-dreads: )

The calendar is one of the things that made me think I might have seen that poster elsewhere. His TF00t postings are identical to things someone has said elsewhere, with a different target. /shrug. Without the IP(s) we'll never know. (Even with them we might not, given that he might be smart enough to proxy)

Apologies if this has been posted here previously, but a woman I follow on Twitter (@Whoozley) has provided probably the clearest and calmest takedown on atheism+ I have seen yet.
This, in a nutshell, is why Atheism Plus is getting shot to shit on Twitter and elsewhere. The fact is that you cannot label your group new and improved without by extension labeling everyone else old and inferior. You cannot call yourself morally superior without telling everyone else they're morally inferior. You can't pronounce yourself moral arbiter without telling everyone else their opinion matters less than your own (or not at all, if you're Richard Carrier). Thus - INSTANTLY - Atheism Plus has made everyone who wasn't involved from the very beginning feel misjudged, wronged and vilified.

As for Kazez and her bigoted nonsense, I was waiting for someone to put 2 & 2 together about my fake jewellery design.
Some of you "got" aspects of it, but it was multi-faceted.
It was also an observation on the following irony mine:

⌘ Jen applauds & encourages the use of a wearable personal label by which to discriminate bewteen "us" & "undesirables".

⌘ She is aware that said label was used to forcibly tag women for persecution:
This design of course also references the period in history when female adulterers were shunned unfairly by society and forced to wear a scarlet letter A.
-RDF
So, Jen wants to use an historical symbol of persecution by which to discriminate bewteen "us" & "undesirables".

⌘ That Greeks used small clay tablets (ostracons) around the same size by which to secretly vote that a citizen should be exiled from their society. (Thus "ostracism")
The irony is palpable here. Maybe the historians amongst trhem have not been paying attention in class, and instead doodle new logos when they should be listening?

Note any parallels without thinking of German ghettos?
Yet Kazez has a fainting-fit over my pointing out this massive embarrassing cock-up with a direct equivalent.
(Mentioning that Sulky claims to be Jewish & that I should have known this with my mind-reading powers, and that apparently that fact should exempt her from all criticism!)
Kazez is perfectly able to ask me any questions here, and I will do my damndest to respond honestly.
But no. She is such a highly trained critical thinker that her conclusions are perfectly formed from the outset, and she does not need to alter them.
Bloody philosophers.
I won't even delve into the contentious issue of tattoos.

Bloody philosophers!
Nearly as excreble as Professional Theologians at critical thought. Spit.

Lets expand on Myers analogy, this party is the atheist party, and fine myers and his morons go off to the library for their circle jerk because they don't appreciate socialising with the unclean, but can they stay in the fucking library? No. The bastards start whining to the host about all the horrible people who are at the party wanting them kicked out, in order to make it a nicer party, start threatening the host that they'll ruin the party if their demands for a nicer party aren't met, they start demanding the other attendees keep the noise down, they are all in fancy dress, and think everyone else should be in fancy dress. They are told the fancy dress party is in the house down the road, and really if they don't like the party they should fuck off to it, but they insist all partys should be fancy dress.

"BillPlus" @ http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=160#p160
I think the first step should be establishing a formal declaration of intent by which all local groups can rally around. Something that formally sets the definition of what A+ means and sets guidelines for how it operates. Bringing about social and political change is not unlike marketing and A+ should be thought of like a “brand”. As such we need to formally establish what that brand is and then work to protect it.
Yep, they started a whole new movement, and they don't even know what it is yet. All they've managed to do so far is tack a fucking plus sign at the end of the atheist "A" and attract a bunch of Women's Studies 101 armchair slacktivists. "Wheee! We're gonna change the world? Uh, what is this all about, anyway?"

On the topic of outreach to local atheist groups, in some cases it may be possible to simply tack on the A+ label to groups that already exist and agree with us.
Nah, they're not trying to take over the atheist movement, they're going to start their own separate thingamabob! Jen said so!

The first two I have. However, I haven't had the third since the late 80s. Oh well.

This is going to be amazing. There already some posts and comments up that I'm having difficulty calling as either real or Poe. And I flatter myself as being a pretty good Poe writer and detector.

Now, I'm just waiting for Meyers and the other big names (middle-class white folk every one of them) to put their balls in the blender and actually give Jen some support by posting on her website. Because at the moment it's all just empty words, spoken/written through tightly clenched teeth/fingers.

Come on, Meyers: help the gal out before her boyfriend realizes in 6 months how much this website is costing them and tells her to get the fuck off the internet RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

On the topic of outreach to local atheist groups, in some cases it may be possible to simply tack on the A+ label to groups that already exist and agree with us.
Nah, they're not trying to take over the atheist movement, they're going to start their own separate thingamabob! Jen said so!

Man, this place is going to be a fucking gold mine.
You're not kidding! These people are bizarre (and not in a good, funny way, either):
I agree entirely that mens' rights belong under feminism- hell, not even that, I believe that mens' rights are an intrinsic part of feminism.

Then logically, women's rights are an intrinsic part of men's rights. Ooops, no, we can't have that. That's uncomfortably close to humanism, and as has been repeatedly femsplained to us, atheism+ isn't humanism!

Atheism+? Kinda like humanism, but we gals take care of the men's rights too. Don't worry guys, you can trust us.

I think the first step should be establishing a formal declaration of intent by which all local groups can rally around. Something that formally sets the definition of what A+ means and sets guidelines for how it operates. Bringing about social and political change is not unlike marketing and A+ should be thought of like a “brand”. As such we need to formally establish what that brand is and then work to protect it.
Yep, they started a whole new movement, and they don't even know what it is yet. All they've managed to do so far is tack a fucking plus sign at the end of the atheist "A" and attract a bunch of Women's Studies 101 armchair slacktivists. "Wheee! We're gonna change the world? Uh, what is this all about, anyway?"

And we have to do something about those Jews.
The troll just copied another comment and added the anti-Semitic crap to the end.

I certainly hope that didn't come from here. I seriously doubt it did (and we'll get blamed no matter what in any case), but just in case it did I'm going on record right now and saying *puts on Spokesgay panties* Don't. Just don't. Don't do that. Stop it. Now.

No need to troll. The lulz will come all on their own.

And here they have a list of arguments you're not allowed to use.

Imagine if the theists did that: "You're not allowed to use the Problem of Evil, Lack of Evidence, Logically Contradictory Characteristics..."

Ok Craig - you're not allowed to use Kalam. I win!

Look, these things take time. They started out with what was important to them: image (the logo) and exclusivity (the us vs them). Why bother with something so minor as what they really stand for that is unique to them (so far it isn't) when you know all they'll do about things is blog and make speeches no one will listen to.

Say, does joining A+ forum mean I have to color my hair an inhuman color? I like anime, I just don't live in it (although from what I hear, some of them do have the pokeman army going on...)

Anti-semitic? I think it's an example of particularly dark Jewish sense of humour.

I think they would believe that one. But yep, given the amount of crazy that the founders have already displayed, like calls to like ya know and so it should come as no surprise no matter what subsequently show up there.

I like this bit:
Civility guidelines are not an excuse for bad behaviour: The above rules are guidelines for dealing with the majority of cases. They are not absolute laws, and they are certainly not excuses to hide behind. If there is no reasonable explanation for a post besides malice, then it is not necessary to pretend otherwise. If someone endlessly brings up the same refuted argument in multiple threads, then engaging them straight away may be justified. If someone with an atrocious reputation from elsewhere asks slippery but plausibly innocent questions, then it may be reasonable to assume dishonesty.
(my bolding) - in fact, it may even be reasonable to assume dishonesty even before the slippery but plausibly innocent questions have been asked, eh Jen! :lol:
