Well “[PERSONAL, REDACTED]” is outed here by Maxwell Smart without as much as a whimper, so you have to wonder how much of a big deal it is. http://heathen-hub.com/blog.php?bt=9266

Steersman is there whining about being banned here so not able to join in. I’ve not bothered commenting over there as Tim Skellet randomly deletes comments with no warning or reason. I assume I’m banned but who knows. Now for years of obsessing over Tim and the “Free from thought” Hub for their terrible censorship… Not.

Of course anyone who tries to make a comment to correct him (and point out the other BS in the post and the comments) risks being doxxed for "abusive behavior." :roll:

[EdwardGemmer]

There's a strangely ironic case of conformational bias going on with Svans blog at the moment.
She poses a question of whether people think it is ethical to doxx people on the internet - but frames it in such a way that those who are liable to be doxxed are termed 'harrassers'.
But everyone who has paid attention to her and Ophelia will already know that 'harrasers' is taken to mean anyone who contributes a 'microaggression' towards the online opposition they are facing.

Meaning, essentially, anyone who criticizes them, disagrees with them, offers a reasoned point of view that isn't in line with their thinking, or anyone who paints their opponents in a shade of grey rather than the blackest shade of Satans heart.

In other words, anyone who disagrees with her is liable for doxxing!

Strangely enough, everyone who comments agrees with her! :think:

When you don't live in reality, you get posts like that. If someone says something you disagree with, not only are they wrong, they are actively abusing you and you are no longer responsible for your actions towards them. It's too stupid for words, which is the main reason they ban so many people from their blogs. It's a theme common with mentally ill people and criminals - when your remove responsibility from your life, you have to figure out ways to blame others for your own behavior. When everything you do is someone else's fault, it's tough to learn from your actions.

Dumbass, the only difference between the names is a substitution between an "f" and a "ph". You do that already with "Ophie".

Sounds like you only know one language to me.

And my cock needs two male hands (mine) to handle. Only the gland still pops out in such a grip.

TMI?

Not too much information at all. Do go on... This dirty-minded little old lady doesn't mind such discussions at all. Heheh. Gotta get my thrills where I can at this age. :P

If I still lived in the GTA I would definitely have sent you a PM long before now.

I'd invite you over for a cup of coffee!

I've been toying with the idea of having a SlimePit Party at my place in the future (like late summer). Currently, I'm still stuck in red tape revolving around my retirement. Once that's over (hopefully no longer than another month or two), I'll be in a celebrating mood. I'm considering a coffee party for Pitters in or near Toronto.

Will your party involve a measuring stick pass to gain entry by any chance?

[treestump]

Metalogic, the reason is that Mykeru has become what he loathes. This is someone who, 2 days ago, was pontificating on the air about "having ideas challenged" and chastising the baboons for killing skepticism through shutting down dialogue.

This is the mild disagreement (in fact, a mere and mild exchange of views) I had with him, upon which he unfollowed me. When I pointed out the above, he blocked me as well.



Hopefully, this is a temporary bout of baboonitis from which he will recover when he runs out of meth.

hehe, good on Mykeru, I didn't see the whole argument, was it about the goatse? Mykeru is as funny as a mad fuck on LSD, and I laughed my ass off at the goatse. Sure, images like that are disturbing, but so fucking what? Daily TV has difficult images (game of thrones had some torture the other day, and I didn't wail on the ground like a pathetic "Amy Roth" wailing about how my feelings had been hurt). Funny things need to shock or surprise a little at times. 1 or 2 goatse a month ain't going to harm anyone (and anyone that says it does is a lying piece of shit). Professional Assholes (governments, religious leaders, Ophelia, Amy Roth, Rebecca Watson, PZ Myers) use "offence" to manipulate weak-minded tools. Women were fucked over pretty badly by "offence" (blood from a woman's period being labelled "offensive" by the priests so that women were shunned and locked in dark rooms during those times). Love how FTB use the constant "offence" banner, no, sorry, worse, they call it "harassment" and "abuse". Fuckeelia even says that the word "Ophie" is "bullying harassment and abuse", what a humourless horrific monster she is. People who are offended ARE THE PROBLEM. "I'm offended at goatse" is functionally no different to saying "I'm offended at a woman's period", or "I'm Ophelia, and I'm a mad fucking idiot and I'm offended at EVERYTHING including my own face". Offended people are "OPHELIA-ENABLERS". Fuck offence. http://goo.gl/Ru5PL :)

Good for TAM for blanket shunning and sticking a middle finger up at the lot of 'em; what a fantastic stand against lying snake-oil "offence"-peddlers everywhere. I heard that they have issued security with "urine-sprays" to spray any FTB/Skepchick types in the eyes if they dare to show up. DJ Grothe should be given a medal for Effective-Scum-Extermination. Once all the other conferences shun them also, then the problem is sorted and the world will enter a new Age of Enlightenment.

Yeah, and you know what's really funny? I didn't post the Goatse. At this point in The Slymepit I guess the only thing to do is lay back and watch the "you fat-shaming, goatse-posting" bullshit narrative formation that would make even the most Kool-Aid bloated Baboon fuckwit proud. The alternative is to expect people to pay fucking attention and not stray from what I actually said and did, but I guess that's too much like harshing people's buzz.

They're called breasts, francMykeru. They're supposed to look like that on a woman.

I think it's your frame of reference. That is, from looking down.

What would surprise me is if I actually gave a shit when people started talking about their boring pedestrian kinks and amateur amorous exploits, which tends to happen on the internet when people try to fill a vacuum in lieu of shutting the fuck up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder

Looks like it's a wider problem than that:

Cluster B (dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders)
Not to be confused with Type B personality.

Antisocial personality disorder: a pervasive disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, and (generally) a pattern of regular criminal activity.
Borderline personality disorder: extreme "black and white" thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior often leading to self-harm and impulsivity.
Histrionic personality disorder: pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriately seductive behavior and shallow or exaggerated emotions.
Narcissistic personality disorder: a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Characterized by self-importance, preoccupations with fantasies, belief that they are special, including a sense of entitlement and a need for excessive admiration, and extreme levels of jealousy and arrogance.

And PZ even has his own cluster!:

Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)
Not to be confused with Type A personality.

Paranoid personality disorder: characterized by irrational suspicions and mistrust of others.
Schizoid personality disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing time with others, anhedonia, introspection.
Schizotypal personality disorder: characterized by odd behavior or thinking.

Impressive. Most impressive.

yeah, I didn't even think you had. I thought it was someone else, but this does seem to be all about the ever-popular-and-never-endingly-mind-numbing "offence-debate". What is offensive? What is not offensive? Am I offending the Jews at the next table by eating a bacon sandwich (and should I tell them to "fuck off" if they tell me they are "offended")? What the fuck has happened to our society that every discussion seems to come down to "I am offended at that!!"? I dunno what's fueling it but "offence" has become a very very unhealthy-obsession-bordering-on-personality-disorder of late.

It is far worse.

It's a tap! She pretents to explore the topic from a neutral ground, and that good reasons guide her way. But her "mask" metaphor we swallow already with the headline turns out to be a ploy to draw connections between pseudonyms and heinous crimes. A couple of smoke grenades disguised as positive aspects of "masks" hide her trickery for a moment. Thereby she "gets them out of the way" so that she can prod the reader towards the negative conclusions.

In the middle she introduces serial killers. You couldn't make this up. As a reminder, serial killers get their pseudonym after they make a kill. Therefore she equates writing under a pseudonym, i.e. leaving a mark, with murder. That's strong stuff. I find it hard to believe that she actually thinks this. But is a nice way to manipulate readers on an emotional level. From there she leaves a few breadcrumbs leading to the concept of the "Abuser". Now people associate "abusers" with serial killers. Nice! Apparently, grotesque Guilty By Association continues to be popular among the intellectual frauds of FreeThoughtBlogs.

The serial-killer-ish "Abusers" are stated as a matter of fact. She doesn't explain what she considers doxxing-worthy abusive behavior. But the readers can fill in the blanks by context: Skep Tickle. That's another trick. Calling this out of proportion is out of proportion. And that is just the upper half. In the lower part and subsequent comments she essentially advocates Old Testamentarian Eye-for-an-Eye morality. The actual reasons why people have pseudonyms aren't explored and she also casually compares the doxxers with authorities and crime fighting, which would be vigiliantism. Eye-for-an-Eye Vigilantism, that is. Which is almost comical, provided that she no sense of proportion at all. Stepping on her toe is probably equal losing the right hand.

Too many of us live too much of our lives online to allow for slogans and black-and-white decrees to stand in for effective management of our online communities.

He releases videos for free, then asks viewers to donate if they think it's worth it. What's wrong with that?

If only that was true...

He actually begged for people to pay for things like his electricity bill, for books for his birthday (because apparently people "owed' him that) and even money to fuck a girl, Jesus Christ:

[Ericb]

can someone please recommend a 2012 - 2013 film not made in the US, subtitled if in a language besides English (I fucking accidentally downloaded a film that was dubbed recently - I was all ready for a nice film evening, and I was not pleased. I cannot watch a dubbed film)

and for fuck's sake if someone recommends a romantic comedy, I will find you and kill you.

Does it have to be 2012-13? Allegro non Troppo is a delightful Italian version of Fantasia.

no, just recent. I'll look for it now, thank you. other recommendations welcome.

Seven Psycopaths. Set in the US but is British, so borderland case maybe. Still, very good, and not quite what one would expect from the title.

If that's too much US; Troll Hunter, Norwegian horror/comedy (not too heavy on the comedy) drawing on Nordic folklore.

Troll Hunter is awesome. It's an extremely dry satire that manages the neat trick of being both creepy and droll. I've watched it a number of times and I see something new every time.

Right. There was never a Holocaust survivor in the audience of a Mel Brooks movie when he made jokes about the Nazis.
The thing that the "no rape jokes" crowd overlook is the fact that by laughing at something you strip it of its capacity to do harm while making something taboo gives it greater and longer lasting power.

Regarding the complaints that some images posted in The Pit are offensive and NSFW, I did a little "just because" check and the my web filtering is blocking the SlymePit on the grounds of "sex", apparently due to people going on about their tits and how much they appreciate good pussy.

If NSFW images are a legitimate concern, then I respectfully ask that people refrain from talk of sex, sexuality, fucking, body parts including tits, cunts, cocks, penetration, blowjobs, taking it up the ass, dildos, pocket pussies, handjobs, ejaculation, clits, wanking and the like as all that, including clinical discussions, falls under the NSFW standard around these parts.

Also, it offends me.

If NSFW images are a legitimate concern, then I respectfully ask that people refrain from talk of sex, sexuality, fucking, body parts including tits, cunts, cocks, penetration, blowjobs, taking it up the ass, dildos, pocket pussies, handjobs, ejaculation, clits, wanking and the like as all that, including clinical discussions, falls under the NSFW standard around these parts.

Also, it offends me.

Why don't you ram it up your pim-hole, you fusking cloff prunker.

Babysitting for all current and potential viewers of the site then?

An ex-boyfriend found Ab Fab offensive. I knew right then and there we'd probably not last.

[TedDahlberg]

can someone please recommend a 2012 - 2013 film not made in the US, subtitled if in a language besides English (I fucking accidentally downloaded a film that was dubbed recently - I was all ready for a nice film evening, and I was not pleased. I cannot watch a dubbed film)

and for fuck's sake if someone recommends a romantic comedy, I will find you and kill you.

Does it have to be 2012-13? Allegro non Troppo is a delightful Italian version of Fantasia.

no, just recent. I'll look for it now, thank you. other recommendations welcome.

Seven Psycopaths. Set in the US but is British, so borderland case maybe. Still, very good, and not quite what one would expect from the title.

If that's too much US; Troll Hunter, Norwegian horror/comedy (not too heavy on the comedy) drawing on Nordic folklore.

Troll Hunter is awesome. It's an extremely dry satire that manages the neat trick of being both creepy and droll. I've watched it a number of times and I see something new every time.

Yeah it's definitely one I see myself re-watching every few years. It strikes its tone perfectly.

[Mykeru]

Although humor is important, there's an appropriate time and place for it. In light of Web filtering, we will have to abide by undefined standards requiring people to show responsible prior restraint.

In lieu of objective standards, I will be pointing out that which may be considered officer on a case by case basis. Not only should people apply their item standard to themselves, but everyone to everyone else.

Free and open discussion will continue, just with the reasonable standards of one applied to all, even if no party agreed to that arrangement.

Also, little Patty (terrier mongrel) has arrived at our place not two hours ago. She's looking for something to destroy. Thankfully, Darwinette is still hidden under the couch growling. That's gonna be a long week.

A little debate about rape jokes.

[youtube]GtUb_E1qUHA[/youtube]

The moral of the story is: Never argue with a comedian, he'll either be funny and make you look stupid or he'll be serious and make you look stupid.

Am watching that now... but so far the Feminist has made jokes about rape and more or less said it's okay to make jokes about Hitler but not about rape because it's not as if someone in the audience will have had their lives touched in some way by Hitler, right?

Right. There was never a Holocaust survivor in the audience of a Mel Brooks movie when he made jokes about the Nazis.
The thing that the "no rape jokes" crowd overlook is the fact that by laughing at something you strip it of its capacity to do harm while making something taboo gives it greater and longer lasting power.

and certainly no black people, gay people, mexican people, or irish people ever saw "Blazing Saddles"

[Phil_Giordana_FCD]

this is bravery:

The fuck yawn. Yeah, removed the links so I don't have to look at that yet again.

I can simultaneously think she is

1. Brave

2. Has a weird-looking ugly ass body that seems to be formed by separate loosely connected balloon-like compartments of greasy fluid with some dumb-assed shit written on it.

3. Should probably be killed, just on general principle and logical necessity.

Oh, didn't read this up. I have two options: ignore Mykeru or leave the Slymepit. More news when i'm done catching up, in case something debunking that shit of a post turns up.

[Mykeru]

See this right here is a teachable moment. just the other day I saw Django Unchain.

I believe it may have attempted to have some hyperbolic and satirical aim. All that is lost as it's best not to depict pre-Civil War slavery or make allusion to it, as doing so may upset black people and make white people feel bad.

[Mykeru]

[Phil_Giordana_FCD]

For the record, Mykeru, I only have a very strong problem with your n°3. Others are just your opinions on someone's actions' value (which I care about) or physical looks (which I don't care about).

But "should probably be killed" goes a bit too far when tens of thousands tend to agree with you.

[Scented Nectar]

Dumbass, the only difference between the names is a substitution between an "f" and a "ph". You do that already with "Ophie".

Sounds like you only know one language to me.

And my cock needs two male hands (mine) to handle. Only the gland still pops out in such a grip.

TMI?

Not too much information at all. Do go on... This dirty-minded little old lady doesn't mind such discussions at all. Heheh. Gotta get my thrills where I can at this age. :P

If I still lived in the GTA I would definitely have sent you a PM long before now.

I'd invite you over for a cup of coffee!

I've been toying with the idea of having a SlimePit Party at my place in the future (like late summer). Currently, I'm still stuck in red tape revolving around my retirement. Once that's over (hopefully no longer than another month or two), I'll be in a celebrating mood. I'm considering a coffee party for Pitters in or near Toronto.

Will your party involve a measuring stick pass to gain entry by any chance?

No, no, all sizes welcome for the coffee. :) And even for sleeping arrangements. There will be a couple of guest sofabeds for anyone too drunk to drive, or who just feel like a pajama party.

Oh, grow up. Some people disagreed with you. You've been whining about that how long now? Your posts have gone from stupid (the one Phil quoted) to pathetic (the one I'm quoting here). I realize that you will dismiss me as well, but if I were you I'd pick up what dignity I had left and shut up for a bit until my brain caught up with what my fingers were typing.

PZ Meyers projects:

What is it with old white guys who get all this respect and recognition as leaders in their fields, who then wilt into self-pitying whines of “witchhunt!” at any bad press, no matter how mild?

http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ ... committee/

Wait, no, he couldn't possibly have written that! *goes to check* Oh, he did. Um. So that happened. This is the day that irony died of an overdose.


Incidentally, does anyone know what the SFWA thing is about? A cursory reading of the Scalzi piece told me next to nothing, and I had not planned on spending the evening reading things which are only likely to annoy me. (Translation: I'm lazy, someone spoon feed me.)

Two 70+ year old writers, one a 5 time Hugo winner, the other a frequent nominee, have a column in the monthly sfwa mag. In that column the talk about all sorts of stuff, and one column reminisced about an editor of one mag in the 40s through the 60s. This editor was apparently quite beautiful in addition to her talents as an editor, and they mentioned that, by quoting a 90 year old woman who was wife of an SF author who mentioned that when the other wives discovered how beautiful the editor was, all the wives joined the local organization too.

This sexist, unprofessional column by two old white guys drew complaints from a couple of dyke lesbian feminazi authors and their idiot white knight mangina counterparts, there was one flounce and one who said, he's barely a member, he never reads the column or the magazine, AND THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

There were also two covers of the mag that showed a sword and sorcery woman in a chain mail bikini.

Scalzi is busy investigating, he's famous for his bootstrappy, white men you know have it on the easiest setting, he made it on his own, every white man should man up, stop whining, and be successful like him.

HTH

Nobody. How about you?

[decius]

Mykeru, I used to think all your bravado and over-the-top rhetoric was showmanship and part of an elaborate internet persona, and I've always held it as a positive model of how to push boundaries without being obnoxious.
But recently you're coming across as a genuinely angry person. I guess I've been wrong all this time. Or perhaps you really need to take a break.

Yes I know, I'm nobody.

[TedDahlberg]

Guys your being trolled.

Quite possibly, but is it worse if he's serious or if he's trolling? OK, obviously if he's serious. But I see no point to the trolling. Heh, though I suppose that might be too much to ask for.

[Mykeru]

Guys your being trolled.

You mean under the expansive and self-serving freethought blogs definition that anyone who disagrees is a troll?

During the Cold War the United States became more and more authoritarian in the fight against communism. During the Vietnam War under the program of pacification people argued you had to destroy villages to save them. Or you could go back to the cartoon character Fearless Fosdick who shot people rather than let them eat tainted beans.

So as freethought blogs unravels it's interesting to watch people in the Pit- subconsciously or otherwise - model themselves after them.

Please do go on with willful mischaractetization, whine about offense, construct ad hoc speech codes, use bullshit shaming terms, White Knight to your hearts content and let the dogpile begin.

But first y'all divest yourself of the notion that I'm your buddy or I'm on your side or whatever imagine relationship that exists only in your own head gives you license to shit talk, accuse me of things I did not say or do, or some how you get a pass.

Questions?

[Angry_Drunk]

The Pit is so funny when it's bored. No, wait, not funny. Retarded. I meant retarded.

Hey Guys(and Gals... and non-binary genderfluid elf sheriffs),

Remember the American Secular Census and its report about how terrible the secular community is for women?

They made this post with some 'anal cysts', Here.

They claimed they would release the full results when they got to 10,000 responses. Well, its now been over 6 months. And given how many people tend to fill out online polls 6 months late, I think it is pretty clear they are never going to get to their 10,000 response threshold (or did and broke their word). Either way, I think it is high time for them to release the full results of this 'census', since they are either A) not providing crucial data for a major problem regarding women's experiences within the secular community, or B) prematurely posted 'analysis' for a reaction, rather than waiting for the sample size to reach a reasonable level.

Unforunately, you need to log in via facebook which I do not have to post. But I would like to push these folks to release their info after 6 months have gone by.

[ReneeHendricks]

Kind of surprised at the amount of panty-wadding over Mykeru. Also a bit surprised over the "oh, what about delicate fee-fees?" kind of crap coming in here. Are we shedding our thick skins and meandering over to the SJW side?

[katamari Damassi]

Minor correction: Greta did it because she's an exhibitionist and she gets off on displaying herself. The protest was merely a convenient excuse.

final sentence here----------> http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... lit#p95636

"shock value" is a significant part of being an exhibitionist

For the record; I'm not judging exhibitionism, I'm all for it. My problem is when someone tries to cloak it in some sort of nobility.
