Bleeding from the Bunghole

[free thoughtpolice]

Apart from the fact that giving someone your room key is a stupid way of propositioning someone, unless they're going to take you off for a shag that very second. (How do they know which is your room? Those swipe cards all look the same. How are you going to get into your room between now and shag time? etc.) Does anyone think that PeeZus has ever been sexually propositioned, at a Con or anywhere else?

He plagiarized the story from Penthouse.

Dear Internet; I've read many blog posts over the years about the orgies and wild rapey sex that happens at atheist conventions but I thought they were made up stories from attention whore type losers, until this happened to me:

I love how he's quoting from just one person, and lastly the Watson porno cartoon which doesn't even originate from here. Brilliant representation.

Fucker. Didn't even include one of my shops. Guess I'm just too mild for his propaganda tastes.

I feel spurned too. But including that Watson image demonstrates once again what a pack of noble SJ warriors lying scumbags we are dealing with.

I wasn't a fan of Rueben's stand-up, so I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to it by friends who really loved it. Unexpectedly I did too. I immediately recognized Tim Burton as a director who would go places, although now I wish he'd go on a long vacation as he is clearly tapped out.

"Clownfall" is perfect. Poor PZ seems to be acting out Götterdämmerung - in his bunker, becoming more insane by the hour. I have to say, it's starting to get really odd and quite pathetic. I almost feel sorry for him.

I don't feel sorry for him in the least. This is someone who encouraged and allowed comments like the following on his blog:

The only difference between Marc Lepine and any of the Slymepitters is that Marc Lepine had a gun and a willingness to act on his convictions.

He is a lowlife.

But it's just so fucking embarrassing the way he's going on at the moment. It's almost like he has so little self respect he doesn't even care what anyone thinks or isn't even worried about what is about to hit him.

A textbook case of hubris.

Oh well, either way, it's still not misogyny to call someone fat. At worst, it's simply parody / ad-hom. I understand that people, regardless of gender, are pressured into not being obese. Both sexes are encouraged to conform to ideal body-type of the opposite sex. So I don't know what to call this, fat-ism?

PZ Myers is a big fat fatty. Patriarchy?

Tribble, I am glad you are addressing this oft cited but unsupported assertion that only 2% of rape claims are false.

OTOH, the DoJ did a study on DNA evidence in rape cases. What they found in a population of 10,000 cases where the accused had been identified and was a person of interest or charged that the DNA evidence only matched in 60% of the cases. Multiple organizations and researchers have tried to tackle this problem. Multiple career prosecutors have weighed in. And the bottom-line from all these evidence-based, career-observed cases is that false rape charges are distressingly high ranging and range from 40% to 50%.

Can you give a link to this study? I did not find it with a quick search, but perhaps I am not looking hard enough.

Start here mate:

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

Lots of studies quoted, and you can dig deeper if you wish.

My view, it's less than 10% with enough evidence to prosecute for false accusation.

Has anyone else being paying attention to the Amazon atheist bestseller list?

I've checked it three times in the past week.
Ther first time was two days after the launch of 'The Happy Atheist'
You might have expected this to be a good time for all his fans to be doing their duty and shewlling out for their hero's words.
Surely even a brief moment at number one could be likely (the list is update every hour so the current state of sales is shown rather than that over a long time period that might obscure the purchases from those who waited until it was released.)

The result was two positions for 'The Happy Atheist' within the top ten.
The hardback edition of the book was at number six, with the kindle edition at number ten.
This was despite the fact that there is little obvious competition from other new releases - Dawkins has an autobiography coming out in a month or so yet the presales for this put it ahead of 'The Happy Atheist', as did sales of 'The God Delusion'.

A checked a couple of days later and saw Myers books at the same places on the list, although there was some changes in the books surrounding them.

Today, however, some real change.

http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Book ... ks/12764#1

The Happy Atheist, kindle edition, has moved up three places to number seven!

And the hardback, formerly at position number six on the list, has dropped like a stone.

I couldn't find it anywhere in the top one hundred!

This is looking increasingly like a disaster for Myers and his publishing company.

I talked about it back here:

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=351&start=750#p120375

The long and short of it is that I estimated—when I made the calculations—that PeeZus was moving about 45 copies a week, of the hardcover anyway. Now it's a little more, something like 48. I don't know how about Kindle but I very much doubt it's way up there if the statistics are comparable. And the paperback doesn't even register. Presumably, the ranks will drop off considerably over a month or so.

One more line of evidence that PeeZus has pissed all his fame away.

Fuck me, he's actually comparing how silly it would be for a doctor to go hyperskeptic and ask for endless evidence of a claim that one's shoulder hurts to asking for corroborating information when SOMEONE ACCUSES SOMEONE OF RAPE WITH NO EVIDENCE AT ALL.

And of course, Caine is first in the comments, approvingly patting Peezus on the head.

Shorter PZ Myers: If you do not instantly accept the vague accusations by this vague acquaintance of mine as truths, but instead dare to ask for more information and evidence, then you are being a hyperskeptical derpwad. The prosecutors in Stalin's show trials could have learned a thing or two from PZ Myers. These amateurs wasted their time fabricating evidence and torturing defendants into confessing their 'crimes'. They didn't realise that the mere fact of the accusation proved the defendants' guilt.

Can someone give me the cliff notes version of why everyone hates John Scalzi?

He's caught a slightly milder version of whatever Myers is afflicted with, resulting in among other things the blog post Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is. Whatever good points he has are obscured by aggression, condescension, misrepresentation of critics and the like. Like so many people discussing these topics, he seems to go out of his way to alienate people who might otherwise support his views.

[Richard Dworkins]

Checking in and catching up and the laughs are sublime from such mundane sources as the victim feminists.

I wonder if there is in fact some strange psychological phenomenon (perhaps akin to cognitive dissonance) in which the victim feminists think their publicly accessible blogs and twitter feeds are somehow private. It occurs to me that much of their attitude seems to indistinguishable from the politics of the schoolyard, in that they are like a sniping gossiping little clique who cry foul when their pugnacious attitudes reveal them to be rank hypocrites. The "But sir..." mentality.

It would explain the "silence the women" accusation, since what that seems to boil down to is "OMG, someone caught me acting like a nasty spiteful vindictive totalitarian, when I'm a cloud goddess for peace and equality." Having built themselves some kind of tentative adolescent persona that they project, it does not sit easily with them that their real self is not what they assume. Rather than accept this they become offended and affronted because what really matters to them is their own ego and thus claim it harassment. That some of this is coming from low rent academia and pseudo-intellectuals who have more than likely never left the education (nor actually benefitted from it to any great extent)system might explain why they act in such a way.

They didn't realise that the mere fact of the accusation proved the defendants' guilt.

Its amazing how confused PZ is. Does he actually believe the tripe that he posts or is it just to appease his sycophantic followers? The stupid analogy doesn't work, for a very simple reason:

SkepticDoc: Yeah, yeah, your feelings. Do you have some physical evidence that you felt pain? Some independent corroboration that you felt this remarkable “ache”? So far, this is just gossip.

PZ: It prompted me to come here, pay money, face some physical discomfort, and apparently have my condition mocked and dismissed. But what you’re supposed to do now is test me, find evidence of the cause of the problem and help me get better.

I don't think anyone is saying the claims against Shermer SHOULDN'T be investigated. All that is being said is that a mere accusation against Shermer isnt enough for conviction, and that publishing hearsay on the internet is not a serious way to go about this. Nobody is saying that these charges should simply be thrown away and forgotten, just that they should not be believed without evidence and rational scrutiny. Certainly not from anonymous, thirdhand accounts. In this light, the portrayal of "SkepticDoc" here is willfully dishonest.

Once again, PZ reveals his complete lack of integrity and his contempt for skepticism in favor of ideology. What a cunt.

Yes, I'd like to find a "competent doctor" who will use Rebecca Watson's account of PZ Myers' symptoms to diagnose his state of health. That's the honest analogy, but PZ's no honest person.

Come to think of it, there's one more important difference. We have trials over accusations, because, guess what?, false reports of crimes are made by people. Or, ought we to believe every accusation made against, say, blacks?

To Kill a Mockingbird was how things really ought to go. Believe the rape victim no matter what, no need for any more evidence than an accusation. That's PZ's idea of justice.

[Tribble]

Rock Beyond Belief has a good post up. It's from yesterday and my apologies if someone else linked it earlier: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/rockbeyond ... ly-a-sith/

And a largish-excerpt:

So PZ and Co. have labeled anyone who does not immediately fall into their trapping as a “rape apologist” or a “chill girl” or a “misogynist”. It’s that ‘with me or against me’ attitude. And quite frankly it’s disheartening. That’s not how a civilized society works. You must give everyone a fair shake or you, yourself, are anathema to the concept of liberty itself. People are being attacked for not making a snap judgment call. I liken it to the American mentality immediately following 9/11. Suddenly all Muslims were looked at with suspicion. The PATRIOT Act was passed with many parts violating the Constitution we hold (or perhaps held) so dear. I remember watching a video of a Congress getting together in front of the steps of the House singing “God Bless America” . Profiling began, near-censorship of art and music, and a hive mentality that it was America vs. The World. Hell….we had that whole “freedom fry” debacle because France didn’t support the invasion of Iraq.

I equate the current situation that PZ Myers is attempting to wrangle people into as the same Bushism’s we were under as a nation from the early 2000′s. Many of us in the movement (including a vast number of women) don’t want to join your “war on anyone that doesn’t agree with you” because of the alleged “Weapons of Ass Destruction” (WAD’s) that you claim every man except you and your ilk have. Well, I want verification of this against each and every individual that you claim is an assailant, a sexual deviant, or an alleged rapist. Until we have sent in the inspection teams to find these WAD’s that you, Commander-in-Chief Myers, claim to have knowledge from your vast secret intelligence community disclosing to you, then I cannot and will not jump on board to assassinate the character of the alleged perpetrators.

PZ Myers, Mr. President, what have the UN Inspection teams found? I will side with France on this. I don’t like your authoritarian approach to the atheist community much like France did not like President Bush’s international approach to war. I fear that you don’t wish to be President much the same way Bush did not. He wanted to be the Emperor…and he did just that as an Imperial President. His word HAD to be trusted without verification…and so must yours be? Were you not critical of his behavior at the beginning of this century? Then how can you not justify my (or anyone) questioning you with that same approach?
