PZ's 'I do not think of Abbie' sthick sound eerily familiar to Rebecca Watson saying she does not think of Harriet Hall...and we know in both cases this is false. PZ frequently speaks about the pit and reads his commentariats' posts about it. The pit is no doubt linked to Abbie (in his head) . SN - Where is that optical illusion video :)

It sounds like a belabored way to say he really wants to meet Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Is there a name for what is wrong with Oolong?

I think it's called "being a ridiculous, dishonest, comically sycophantic piece of shit" syndrome.

No, with Ooley, it's pretty simple - he thinks that he should work towards allowing minority and marginalised people to have voices in any community or institution they wish.

Except when the community in question happens to be his very white, very middle-class village, and the institution is his very white, very middle-class tennis club. Then he does pretty much fuck all about it.

There's a word for that. MKG probably knows what it is.

NIMBY-ism.

You want a cease fire…. Call a cease fire, no more bashing of RW, no more bashing of Skepchick or FTB, admit that feminism is a voice that will be heard, acknowledge that women are people, and should be treated as equals at secular events.
. . .

Nothing about admitting that you've stopped beating your wife?

I only follow the manufactroversy intermittently, but I haven't seen anyone other than those on FTB/A+/Skepchick suggesting that women be treated as anything other than equals at secular events (nor have I heard anyone suggesting that feminists should be censored, again except at FTB/A+/Skepchick). These kinds of sleazy, dishonest rhetorical tactics are why I stopped reading Pharyngula.

Really, they should be satisfied with the agreement that "women are people, and that they should be treated as equals at secular events." Because that is originally what they claimed was all that they were fighting for. But they can't stop there, because that is what everyone - Slymepitters and FTB/Watsonistas - already agree on. We ALL agree that women are people, and equals. So they have to add in the "total capitulation" elements:

Yes, we all know that "feminism is a voice that will be heard". But what ericthebassiston leaves out is the fact that there are many flavors of feminism out there, and not everyone subscribes to the A+/FTB/Skepchick gender feminism variety. What these people really want is complete and utter surrender to their feminism, with no disagreement, questioning, skepticism or debate. And since disagreement, questioning and skepticism of their ideology are considered "attacks" on Watson/FTB et. al., nothing short of complete capitulation and assimilation into the femBorg collective will suffice for these loons. Fuck that into the ground. Ain't gonna happen.

If I could afford to go to WiS2 and wanted to do other things than talk to Justin Vacula, I’d make a button saying “Something seems awry.” It’s from one of Vacula’s comments in his blog post “Microaggressions atheists experience” that he’s rarely angry with microaggressions because in his definition, “Skepticism is not defensiveness, but rather a questioning attitude someone has when something seems awry.”

Fascinating.

Why is it always libertarians at the heart of our problems with privilege? And why are we still tolerating libertarians if they’re seemingly the reason why the skeptical movement is uncomfortable for people who aren’t rich white cis guys?

I suppose all of those middle-class white cis guys are so uncomfortable...?

Right... so it's okay to call someone a sexist epithet as long as you're making fun of them?

Well, I have never said so before but yes. It does sound like a joke to me. The kind of joke I would make myself actually.

So if she says it was supposed to be a joke then I believe her.

I have no problem with it being a joke, it actually kind of works as irony. But I find it hypocritical how they now come out and tell us that using sexist words and epithets is wrong even if it´s comedy (i.e. a joke) but didn´t say anything before when one of their own used "prick" in an attempt at comedy.

Wow Justin Vaculas comment giving “advice” on how to avoid harassment campaigns is rather inappropriate… Comes across as shut up or I’ll carry on punching you in the face (Or in his case – his mates will carry on punching you in the face). Really shows how clueless he is at times. Let me give it a go …

Justin when you hang out at the Slymepit which is dedicated to finding the least charitable interpretation of anything and everything said by Skepchicks/FtBers and anyone on the periphery you are not in a position to give advice. Especially when that forum creates “disagreement” along the lines of this without so much as a whimper of complaint from you.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamo ... eace-nsfw/

That’s not even the worst of it… The “skeptics” at the Slymepit have recently targeted Ellen Beth Wachs, cheered on by the queen of the forum ERV of scienceblogs, to side with the fundamentalist Christian Sheriff and his allegations against her designed to smear and undermine her secular activism. Here is James Randi’s opinion of Ellen ->

Here is ERV encouraging her internet mob to “carry on trolling” Ellen, by trolling she means continue spreading the Sheriffs false allegations against her.
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 3567_n.jpg

That is still not the worst of it…. Really! Avicenna is a new blogger on FtBs, who has the great minds at the Slymepit trying to deny him his massive £1 income a day from blogging. But even more worryingly the great “freethinkers” over there have been supporting and encouraging a particularly nasty MRA who engages in some pretty nasty rape apologia over the recent Indian rape cases. Big cheer for “freethought” there!
http://freethoughtblogs.com/amilliongod ... n-atheism/

So Steven Novella will find some push back for his call for both sides to be more charitable. I agree with him there is a continuum of criticisms the Slymepit etc pick up on … But when the “reasonable” people criticising, like Justin Vacula, hang out with a group of despicable bullies and say nothing why should anyone listen to them?

Again. Actual harm. Not just a lot of nutters screaming. I see little difference between all the harm THEY supposedly do and all the harm YOU supposedly do.

I would be interested in seeing what your definition of "actual harm" is.

It's all just a bunch of squabs, screaming for treats and shitting themselves. When you can point me at actual harm justifying the level of fear you so desperately want us all to feel, you just let me know. I'm more worried about the neighbor's chihuahua at the moment.

You want me to take responsibility for your issues?

Religious defenders ask, "what's the harm?" too.

Anyway regarding feminsim here's a little story of public schools, Town Halls, captive audiences, and my daughters.

So one of my daughters was in chorus for the local elementary school. There was this Saturday event at the Town Hall in which the school asked for the chorus to sing at. It was a gig, basically. Anyway this gig was a feminist indocrination seminar. They were talking about how better girls are in school. How they are so much better than boys. How boys are violent and men are dangerous criminals. Etc. (I kept the handout). Anyway when my wife tried to leave, they wouldn't let her. Finally after the second hour of the nonsense my wife just left. "I'm taking my daughter and we are leaving! Now!". And that was that. I wasn't there but I I was told the story and my daughter was telling me about how she felt bad for the boys that were there...you know the boys that were in chorus and literally tricked into going to a Town sponsored and paid for feminist event.

So what was supposed to be a short song sang for the school principal became a 3 hour ordeal in a feminist indocrination seminar.

Anyway a few weeks went by and my daughter received a plaque for her singing there. Like a "thanks for coming!" thing. It read, "thanks for signing for [insert pirincipals name here]. Signing...I thought that was funny. Yeah a typo but it just adds to the whole ordeal.

What's that harm? Yeah. I dunno if "harm" is the right word. But the notion that feminist have no power or only scream at empty chairs or have no impact, like a tiny dog...is false.

Anyway, I would have complained to someone about this excpet for the fact that it completey backfired (at least for me and my family). My daughter said it was like being at church....LOL feminists preaching is like being at church. Thanks ladies! Thanks Town for innoculating my daughter so completely to feminist dogma!

If someone here had said it, it would have been clear that it was comedy, but coming from OB it just looks hypocritical. So is it okay to use such things in jokes (at others expense!) as OB seems to think, or not as GC seems to think? Or is it like religious pronouncements: Thou Shalt Not Kill (except when it's okay, like if god told you to, or you're killing heathens, or when you're stoning adulterers, etc.). Thou Shalt Not Use Sexist Epithets (except when it's okay, like if you're OB making fun of people).

Maybe you can point me to the particular segment in those clips where he manifests evident “disdain” particularly for all Mexicans, because I sure didn’t hear that. Maybe some bias on your part?

And I quite agree with “some guy” about the “similar socioeconomic position”. To be charitable, although I’m not sure PZ is entitled to much of that, it seems that it really only qualifies as racism if he had asserted all Mexicans were like X. That would have been stereotyping, characterizing an entire group by the attributes of a segment of it, as with sexism.

Steersman how do you walk or sit with so many fences shoved up ur arse? :D

:lol: Definitely a problem in skipping from the top of one fence to the top of another. And it does get to be a pain being pasted from both sides – “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” and all that. But a tough job that someone has to do, although I'm happy to see people like Steven Novella and (I think) Lee Moore take up those cudgels …. :-)

I think it no bad thing we have some contrarians here. The other side could do with a few too and that is the big difference between the two groups. We do not censor and they do. As Hitchens once said the person that denies others the right to be heard is the one who suffers. They are suffering and will continue to do so until they start to relax and grasp many people have different opinions and in the absence of firm evidence all are as valid as the other.

But while they get their jollies from patronising and correcting others they will continue to be blinkered and there is no chance of a proper reconciliation.

Nice school, idiot.

[LMU]

He is currently attempting to get me to say sweary words to him by provoking me, silly boy he really is

Just call him a cunt. And call his mom a cunt for not breastfeeding him once he reached high school. And the cunt also gave his blankey to the red cross as well. A lifetime of trauma. Needy, needy little maggot. A shrink could retire on him.

Worthlessness, thy name is ool0n. YAPYAPYAP

And remind him that his mom's abortion doctor still calls him his "biggest mistake". :rimshot:

If I don't get on blockbot with that, I don't know what will.

Thing is, he wants me to start throwing the insults out and getting irate with him - I've called him an odious weasel who relishes in obfuscation and toadying but other than that I've been rather fluffy. If I give into his provocations I don't think I'll have as much fun

Still, there is the joy and honour of getting on the proper blockbot list

Hmmm

We shall see

You monster!

On an unrelated note, we have some marmite cookies. The ones with butterscotch in them too came out okay, the pure marmite ones are edible but don't really qualify as "cookies." Tea helps both.

Wellwishes to Renee and her partner and others living in interesting times. I hope things get better for you!

Ah! They keep pushing the guilt-by-association trope, the same people who fail to "renounce" the likes of Greg Laden, PZ and Queen Bee. Further, just who is the moron leading this charge right now - James "child porn" Billingham, aka Ool0n.

[EdgePenguin]

Wow. Another one to go into the museum - though at this rate, it's beginning to look more like Ellenbeth's padded cell.

Did she really 'shop a gay man to make it look like he had full-blown AIDS? Fuck, that's sick.

Just remember, we're the bad guys. :lol:

The goodness of a persons actions are irrelevant. Salvation can only be achieved by accepting PeeZus, as Harriet Hall has just done.

I googled 'stress injury' - all I got were links about RSI.

Is she saying that all the professional victim blog posts she made have fucked her wrists?

I'm thinking that if being on the Internet causes you "stress injuries" perhaps not being on it is a solution? I know, I know. The cries of "how dare you tell me not to be on the Internet" usually follow that sort of thing. But seriously. It's like taking a hammer to your thumb again and again. If it's causing you pain, why continue to do it??

Bill Openthalt,
Odd how I have no problem at all imagining some one making the same argument during the civil rights movement.
Steven,
I would love to able to make a charitable interpretation of the other side’s demands, but I can’t fathom such a list that doesn’t include women shutting up.
Windy,
Your list reads like a straw fest. In isolation, none of these things are particularly egregious. It’s when such behavior is done with the intent of creating a hostile environment that it rises to the level of harassment and should not be tolerated if we expect to create an open and welcome environment for every one.

Why do they keep saying their opponents are trying to silence women? What can they point to that leads them to think that? I find this and the "Bitches ain't shit" trope extremely frustrating as it is extreme strawmanning. I could understand not knowing what people here want, and that it partly because there are lots of us and we don't all want the same thing, but as far as I am aware nobody thinks like that.

Eric can't fathom a list of "demands" from us that doesn't include "women shutting up". Here's one to help cure their lack of imagination: http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=250 I don't claim it represents any or all of the slymepit, but it is one possible list of demands.

Setar drops a weird/whiny post on his tumblr about how he lives in a police state. A commenter posts, "are you awake?"

Setar replies:

yes. because, unlike Real People who were either born filthy rich or were able to go into assloads of debt to get their Real Person Card (aka university degree) I was unable to cope with college and had to drop out. thus, I don’t deserve nice things like a job with reasonable and consistent hours, nor do I deserve adequate transportation. and don’t even mention the therapy and testing I need for my rampant mental issues (like whatever obsessive crap is making my brain scream about how this post is no longer perfect because I wrote it once then accidentally hit cancel and I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking of rewriting it), I should have just, um…worked harder and somehow been born to a family that wasn’t a bunch of hipsterish well off fauxgressives who heard “gifted” and immediately replaced me in their head with the kid from (pick your favourite animated show about school kids) who is all super-smart-get-straight-As-while-fostering-world-peace-and-curing-cancer-in-grade-five and bullshit like that, and thus didn’t take any of my problems seriously at all until I told them I was fucking suicidal (which is why I had to drop out of college). oh and not been bullied in a school system that was only just learning how to deal with bullying, that would have helped too probably.

what I do deserve is, apparently, free healthcare that barely covers even the bare minimum, and a couple hundred bucks a year plus a slightly inflated income tax refund. because, I have a job and I make a whole $17,000 a year, I totally don’t need assistance of any sort. in a supposedly hippy-liberal city where my $350 rent for an attic was like winning the lottery because the rent for one bedroom anything around here is usually double that. all because I was born to a shitty family

yeah. I’m mad. why aren’t you?

The bolded part also explains a lot about A+theism.

Rystefn: Still missing. Possibly busy with a lolsuit against Black and Decker.
Franc: Resurfaced.
Mykeru: Still missing. Has anyone checked Ellen Beth's basement lately?

Sometimes the simplest things (even when stated in comedy) are the truest. I'm thinking people like Melody are just masochists.

Funny thing is, my younger brother really gets stressed while playing DotA online, because apparently his teammates usually suck at the game or something. He shouts, and curses, and throws his hands into the air in despair and impotence while he loses a game. And I feel pretty sympathetic towards him, because my good God there are a bunch of retards playing that game.

Then again, when he gets very stressed about that, he just stops playing the game for the day, and all is well. Maybe Melodramatic Melody should do that for a change.

This happens to me when playing timed games. I tense up and tend to make myself physically ill. Do I continue to torture myself and my body with this? No. I fucking don't play timed games. Do I yell "why are you oppressing me from playing timed games?" No. I fucking don't play timed games. It's a pretty simple solution.
