It's not a scraper, it's theirs. Jason posted a test post on Dec 10 that doesn't appear on his FtB site.

http://the-orbit.net/lousycanuck/2015/1 ... test-post/

Full archives have been uploaded for some, but recent postings are neglected. Content ends in November-December for most. Greta is the most current with an early January post. Alex has no posts at all.

I wonder if Peez knows about this. I hope there's a camera around if/when 8 of his 2nd-string blog buddies are suddenly raptured out of FtB :lol:
How on earth did you find out?
That would be Left Behind pt. 6 (or so).

The Benson schism really broke his support from fellow bloggers. PZ made perhaps the least strategic move one could imagine by waiting until it was far too late, then backing the loser and shitting on his blogmates.

Then he insults Thibeault and Gabriel's tiny blog ouput and lack of site revenue compared to Benson, and what a dumb fucking move that was, because I guarantee more bloggers than just those two took offense to that. Now they know that PZ sees them more as numbers than people, and not only is he prepared to sell them out, but he's dumb enough that he probably won't even get a good deal on it.

Basically, if Peez were Judas he would have sold out Jesus for 12 pieces of copper, 8 of which were actually chocolate.

Thanks.
Verne is good, but for great sci-fi, you should definitely try René Barjavel. I can't think of a single book of his I didn't love.

True. However Dawkins considered him an ally if not a friend at those times.

Now he wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.

Now Myers' "allies" are people who see racism in a list of great artists and idiots who believe that science is a tool of white supremacy and that astrology is an useful "other way of knowing" in the fight for black "liberation".

An alternative explanation is that it was set up as a threat - not so much that they would take the traffic away from FTB (their traffic is like a pimple on the elephants arse of Myers own Pharyngula) - but as a way of showing him he might lose the regressive left SJW portion of FTB if he doesn't ...

They're probably doing Myers more harm hanging around, taking up server resources with their blog archives without bringing in ad revenue to compensate.

Jason is the only one who openly declared he's ready to leave FtB. He might be first because he took the initiative to start the move.

It's probably going to sting Peez to see his butt buddies Zvan and Greta there. Even worse, Carrier isn't there.

I noted the text "while we work on something more equitable"

and assumed from that they are now doing up a complicated spreadsheet to calculate the privilege / oppression scores. Most oppressed go first in an SJW-equitable world.

Given the complex nature of such a calculation, and in the absence of the intellectual artillery who is woefully missing from the list, I imagine launch date may be delayed by at least a year.

2 years if Svan is doing the spreadsheet.

Chickens coming home to roost.

In any case, to kill two birds with one stone, the video interview of Maajid Nawaz on Australian TV (The Drum):

And related tweet from ABC:

I kind of doubt that Islam can be reformed as seems joined at the hip with fundamentalism - as long as Muslims insist on any kind of a literalist interpretation. Female reporter in that interview makes that abundantly clear.

"...until we can set up something more equitable..."

They must have calculated the gender wage gap at FTB.

Isn't that where you calculate the average blogging income of all the male bloggers and compare it to the average blogging income of all the women bloggers.

It looks about 50/50 males/females (about 24 active blogs)

Yet the income is 90% to the males and only 10% to the females!

Yes, I know the reason for this is based on traffic to one blog, Pharyngula, by far the busiest blog on the entire network (especially after Ed and Ophelia departed), but isn't using the average pay to the entire gender the standard way we are told to calculate gender wage gaps?

The women bloggers of FTB deserve equal pay to their male co-bloggers!

Down with the greedy patriarch!

End the FTB gender pay gap!

That's not how I read them at all. To me she affects the air of weary boredom, stooping to feed a morsel of sustenance to her peon followers, who grovel in the shadow of her greatness. It would be nice if 50 tons fell on her, but that happens only in Monty Python.

I know I know everyone's like ohh poor PZ

But c'mon

PZ keeps calling us rapists and potential murderers, this guy is not hip to our ship

And it's fucking funnier that these talentless little shitflingers have left to join their own little club

A club that won't get fuck all traffic because no one gives a shit about them

They'll need to make at least one rape accusation a week to get people to visit their shitty blogs

I mean honestly it's fucking funny
So true :lol:

Most people would cross the street to get AWAY from Zvan.

Jason's only real talent is sycophancy. He's lost without an alpha like Peez.

Greta is straining her freshness date as a sex blogger.

Alex is a cringe-blogger who works out his Mommy issues out loud in front of everybody.

It's still a mystery to me why Ashley has a blog at all.

Dana's a nutjob, Heina's a brat, Miri once had potential but pretzeled herself into just another SJW victim-bully.

Captain of "the Dark Ship" eh? I can hardly imagine the arguments.

Props to the Ape too, for finding the site. I'm trying hard to conceal a gleeful boner at the prospect of further FTB fragmentation as it too goes down the A+ path to perdition. The only thing stopping me from going full Brazilian Banana Spider is that it probably make sense for those bloggers to maintain a presence on both sites in order to keep their incomes at a steady $5 to $15 bucks a month.

As I suspected Watson had to gnash teeth at Dawkin's on Patreon - nice and secure behind the paywall.

What is the recommended daily adult dose of Schadenfreude?

Because after seeing http://the-orbit.net I may need hospital attention for severe euphoria.

Patheos probably made them do the Geiger counter test. "You first please, Mrs Zvan."

Yep that's maiforpeace. She used to post on the Rationalia forum, one minute she was talking about hosting a wet T-Shirt contest for the site then in an instant totally flipped and become a SJW. Strange times indeed.
That whole thread is a beauty. Summary:
Ben_Blir wrote:By all means, I am NOT a rapist, but I am certainly willing to be called a potential rapist to ensure women feel safe around me
cipher wrote:That's very nice. Being willing to accept that people can say no and that they are allowed not to trust you is a really good thing
(some faint protests from a Norbet Dibble, then:)

What?!?

Blablabla, then Karl Marx enters with:
Karl_Marx wrote:"By all means, I am NOT a rapist, but I am certainly willing to be called a potential rapist to ensure women feel safe around me."

I agree! I think black people should also be willing to be called "potential thieves" as well, to ensure that
non-blacks feel safe around them. Great idea!

"Be it women I know in real life or strangers, I'd like them to know that any time they feel unsafe with me,
they can simply say to me that they don't want to be around me anymore because I might hurt or rape them."

Good boy! You've been trained so well!

Another great thing is when they call you a worthless piece of trash AND a rapist while you're whipped and chained to the bed.
Oh! Maybe that's just me and my fetishes but you seem like a man that would enjoy that too.

I speak several languages including French, and I'm afraid you don't possess the English language skills to communicate properly in such a serious and mindful discussion. I think you are better off just reading right now, and maybe you can get a buddy who writes English better to help you write posts so you can participate and offer your own contributions to this thread.
Still, some others follow suit and are shot at sight:
JamesHuff wrote:Never. I would not appreciate being called a potential rapist.
xenoith wrote:We're all potential anythings as strangers. Seems pointless to put an emphasis on rapists.
DaveElectric wrote:The title of this forum is sexist. Both men and women can rape.
As for the question itself? No, I would not allow someone to call me a "potential rapist" because it's an incoherent accusation.
Then it ends as everyone would expect from A+:
ceepolk wrote:okay, thread is getting derailed by the indignant now.
Yes, Karl Marx, Specimen, JamesHuff et alii, how dare you! It is you MRA trolls who caused the demise of this sprawling forum!
