This is getting to be a pattern for them in general: There was the outing of "Victor Ivanoff", mistakenly outing Ed Clint as the author of Freethoughtblahgs, and now outing Mykeru's ex-wife's ex-address... have there been any more?

PS. Best wishes for the hubby!

Oh, and Mykeru, if you want to save the trouble of looking up Laden's address, I'll send it to you.
Could I have that as well? I'd love to send him a nice bouquet.
Whois Greg Laden anyway? I'd like confirmation he is really that stupid.

Actually, Greggy-Boy, cleaning out your Facebook friends list isn't going to have much of an effect. This is because you are as thick as pigshit and have left most of your facebook settings public. You have even gone so far in what I must presume to be teh quest for teh ultimate stupid to even leaving your comments section public - which means that anyone with an FB account can leave replies to your posts.

Greg Laden's FB page is here: http://www.facebook.com/laden.greg?ref=ts&fref=ts You need to be logged in to your FB account if you fancy leaving Greg any messages on his very public Facebook page. Doesn't have to be a genuine account, of course...

Or you could just ignore his Facebook account, and not feed his martyr complex anymore than you need to. It's not like he won't come running to you anyway. He needs attention, why do the wolk yourself. Wait a bit, he'll come to you. Just like oolon, when you think about it.

Yeah, Daniel Waddell is correct. I have been sticking up for Greg, pretty much everywhere - including ReapSowRadio. I've been promoting his science blog (when it has to do with science), too. I've been offline mostly all day Saturday living the life I have outside of the Slimepit (Yes, I know - it's amazing), spending time with my family. I check my Twatter and find this:

Skep tickle wrote:and more people heard about him doxxing Mykeru's ex-wife.
I don't think it's quite fair to say he intentionally doxed her, because not only is that info seven years old, but he even got the number of our condo wrong. It was 102, not 301.

The best you can say is he stupidly posted an address I used to live at, last habitated by my ex-wife, with indifference to who actually lived there.

Actually the extent to which he can take any credit for doxing is also disputable. He just found some links of other people who did the actual doxing back in 2005. They are the ones who said things like "we also have information on your wife, but we would never release that, oh no, no, not us because we are doxers with integrity".

And I'm not too worried about her. Not only does she work in an international law firm and has international connections, but she's tough as nails, a survivor of colon cancer and her family has money and high ranking members of the People's Liberation Army.

She's the last person anyone feigning even marginal sanity should fuck with. Good luck with your people trying to extradite the person in the Red Chinese army who stuffs you in an oil drum. Just kidding, in reality, you'll have lawyers three deep in your ass.

However, I do not have, nor will ever have anything bad to say about my ex-wife. She comes from a small town in China, willed herself through Beijing University and got her MA at Johns Hopkins. She was raised by her grandparents as her mother was often less than kind to her, to say the least, and is one of the sweetest, kindest, most ruthless people you ever will meet.

We had a completely amicable divorce where we divided assets and she bought out my part of the condo. She didn't request alimony or lay any blame. The terrible thing about divorce, which I spend many a night perched on a barstool thinking about, is at the end you don't miss the person so much as the promise of what could have been. The months after, maybe years, I felt like I was living in an alternate reality while some parallel universe version of me was happily married.

My ex is a completely stand up person, and really is just the sort of intuitive equity feminist that probably screwed up my ability to deal with whiny middle class white women's first world problems for the rest of my life.

I will say the same thing I said back in 2005 when we were still married: Anyone fucks with her because they disagree with me on the internet and they will get my complete and undivided attention.

I am just appalled I have to say that, or say that doxing an address (the wrong one, by the way) because someone disagreed with you in an internet fight is just not the sort of thing one would expect a supposedly well-regarded (in his dreams) 54 year-old academic to do.

As I said, obviously Laden thought he could push the same buttons people pushed back then. The problem with that, of course, is that Greg Laden is an utter joke who no one takes seriously and who I hope never shuts the fuck up and continues to pull his fellow nutcases down with him.

Which makes me wonder either just how much of Greg Laden's CV is fraudulent, or just how fucked the wiring in his head has become.

None of this means that we should not, in proper Welch fashion, totally fuck with Greg Laden simply for the endless lulz.

What I don't understand is that since the victim feminists are so scared of "Creepy Guys" why it is that this Greg Laden character is not considered a threat to them. Apart from his obviously disturbing behaviour, stalking, threatening people with violence, he's not exactly the most elegant looking individual, in fact could be easily described as looking "creepy".

An atheist swipes at FtB and the rift they have created (without naming names):

http://tuibguy.com/?p=7011
When I asked to be considered for inclusion in one of the blog networks, I was asked how I felt about the rift between that network and another one because they wanted to know where I stand. I responded that I had friends in both networks and I could give two fucks about the spew.
I know more than a few atheists that want no part of the entire enterprise any longer. I am losing interest in atheist activism, myself and can find little motivation to do much more than make swipes at religion and the way that it affects society. Beyond this, I want to do little else; because I am finally starting to see that it is not religion that makes society shitty. It is people.

One current theory is that he's porking Steffalump Zwan. And maybe PeeZus too.

It has never been just religion It has always been dogma and our emotional clinging onto dogma. This is why being a freethinker is difficult for some as learning to think with the grey matter not the pineal gland is very hard for NTs. Though they can with training.

As an aside, that 150 hate tweet thing that Greg Laden refers to is not just @ replies. He tracks his name being mentioned as well. Something I found out when I used his name rather than his nick. Kinda speaks to his ego.

No. It's fine. We all take some of the blame here. I think you'll find that there is still a lot of anger left among the denizens here from being bullied or made to look like a fool elsewhere. Personally I think it is counter productive to take shots at anyone and try not to do so myself. I do enjoy the free exchange of ideas here and the fact there is pretty much no censorship. In recent history someone posted child porn which was as immediately removed as possible, a couple of misguided posts were retired upon request of the poster but that's about it.

If you have any great ideas on how we can reconcile, I'd personally love to hear them. There is even a subthread elsewhere about reconciliation. Please feel free, without doxing, without censorship, without your words de-vowled without cherry picking of what you said.

Go for it.

It's not being smug. We're not the ones trying to take over the atheist movement. We're not the ones trying to infect it with virulent feminism. We're not the ones trying to undermine the very meaning of the word "skepticism". Hell, if it weren't for the FtB/Skepchick/A+ crowd doing all that, there would be no "rift" and this place wouldn't even exist. This place, whatever you think of it, is the largest gathering place on the web pointing out all the bad things those assholes are doing to the A/S community. I'd love it if there were no need for this place, but unfortunately there is.

The 4 or 5 that he claimed were 120, were only in the 24 hrs up to his "120" post. So, that one was a lie. Now though, that he's pissed more people off with his letter threatening to dox or expose something about Abbie, he's now getting his wished for larger number of disagreement tweets. He can't claim that any of the newer ones were part of that original "120" claim. Well, actually, he COULD claim it, but it would be yet another lie.

Purveyors of false equivalency are mostly motivated by ego, namely, that everyone on either side of an issue is wrong and therefore they alone are right.

From the whiny blog post s/h/it comes across like McWrong, oh! so disappointed that everyone's letting s/h/it down. Plus there's talk about money (presumably from clicks) so maybe income is dropping.

Yeah, look what you made him do. This is the logic of the kindergarten.

More recently, he's Twattled this evidence of his total irony bi-pass:

Which links to this bleat from a guy who - apparently - really doesn't know why atheists can't all get along because he likes everybody. The source of his confusion really lies in the fact that he thinks "activism" and "the blogosphere" are the same thing.

Well put. Make your case for criticism, be prepared to defend it. Keep in mind we may disagree with you and be hostile to you, but you will get a fair hearing without censorship. Did I mention we do not torture porcupines here either?

Greg Laden successfully carries out his devious plan to badly bruise our foot with his ass.

I have no problem with being criticized, it's an essential part of skepticism. What I do ask is that the criticism is fairly leveled.
Well put. Make your case for criticism, be prepared to defend it. Keep in mind we may disagree with you and be hostile to you, but you will get a fair hearing without censorship.
The FtB Twoof Squad doesn't want their ideas examined in an objective fashion, therefore they will never come here. They will always resort to their tactic of holding their noses and saying "Phew!" whenever the Pit is mentioned, because poisoning the well is the best way they have to keep people from realizing that the Pit makes a helluva lot of good points against them.
Did I mention we do not torture porcupines here either?
Haha. It's funny how when the Pit started ragging on their hypocritical porcupine bit, all of a sudden PZ declared that meme "passe".

What were you saying about all that vitriol being directed at fellow atheists again? :D

I got that you were not directing your post just at FtB, but you kind of undermine your point there by calling it a 'swipe'... Anyway, it's been a while since our paths have crossed, how have you been?

I've been promoting his science blog (when it has to do with science), too. I've been offline mostly all day Saturday living the life I have outside of the Slimepit (Yes, I know - it's amazing), spending time with my family. I check my Twatter and find this:

I saw that as well yesterday. It makes no sense. But then we're talking about Greg here. He really hasn't made much sense to me for a while.

Yeah, coming in here and proclaiming the place a "cesspool" wasn't exactly kumbaya.
I would wonder just how long they have been following the Slymepit with that statement. Perish the thought that a true freethinker would be guilty of believing propaganda without investigating for themselves.
Yeah, that bothered me too. A lot of people have that Pit=cesspool mentality simply because of FtB propaganda. That's why so many people have come here and said "Hey, this place is nothing like PZ said..." It's definitely a lack of critical thinking when you let others define your opinions for you.

If you come here, read, get a sense of what the Pit is all about, and come to your own conclusion that this place is a cesspool, good for you. At least you did your homework. (and to be fair, maybe this "tuibguy" did just that). But there's a lot of people who have formed a sight-unseen opinion about this place just based on the proclamations of others. That kind of shit doesn't belong in anybody's skeptic toolbox.

I'm going to report him to his employer. Does anyone have the number for the U.S. Social Security office?
He's Canadian.
Is he? Well he lives in the US. However, he's self-(un)employed.

AHHHhh.... That is classic Thunderf00t syndrome* from Tubiguy.

*Where somebody appears in the No-Man's-Land of the great divide and proudly proclaims their superiority of belonging to neither camp whilst offering advice and admonishments to either side.
2 weeks later they have become happily entrenched (on one side or the other) and are angrily firing off blogposts at the rate of 2 a day, telling the world how nasty the other side is.

Winged monkeys yes. Flying monkeys, not so much.

I don't think that Thunderf00t had an "I am neutral therefore superior" mentality so much as that he was initially naive about the problems in this community (apart from knowing of some infighting) and therefore didn't anticipate the reaction to his "MISOGYNIST!!!" blog post by FtB denizens. To quote him from one of his videos: "I gotta admit, I had no idea how batshit crazy the subject of sexism will make some people act until I recently posted an article on the issue".

:lol: How do you propose to stop people being smug here, Tubgirl? Throw pixels at us? Fart in the general direction of your monitor? Write another trite, pedestrian blogpost? What?

I don't know who you are, but you are funny.

That's what I just linked to a few posts back, and why the author showed up to call us a cesspool. Fuck'im.
Yes, sorry, I missed that. Anyway, by my watch he's had his 15 minutes of fame and wasted them on the xkcd meme that's so worn out I don't even have to quote it.
