Myers has a post on for-profit universities in the US:
Have you been following Doonesbury for the past few weeks? It’s been all about the progressive destruction of the American university, as the old model is replaced by the for-profit university, a hideous scheme in which state and federal support for higher education gets siphoned off to support lousy schools that grind through massive numbers of students, offering low tuition, flexible hours, and a fast-track to a degree…and with abysmal retention rates, low success, marginally qualified ‘faculty’, and an education that is worth less than you paid for it. These are the colleges you see advertised on cheesy commercials on television, in which some guy proudly testifies about getting his fancy diploma working only a few hours a week at night over two years, and never having to step away from his computer to do it.
As an Unseen Academical-type and employee of a state university, I don't disagree, but pattern-recognizing Owl recognizes patterns, and remembers that another FfTBer has mentioned working at an online for-profit university. Who would that be? Oh yeah, it was Svan and/or her spouse. :mrgreen:

Myers took a year-long sabbatical at reduced salary to write his book, IIRC. Nothing wrong with that, but the option to take a sabbatical is becoming less common at US universities. I can't take a sabbatical, for example, and I'm tenured full-time faculty. I even outlined the research manuscripts I planned to complete, as well as a couple of proposed history of medicine/literary analysis manuscripts I'd arranged to work on with another academic at a uni up the interstate. Chair said no, no sabbaticals. So now I work on the former in my "spare time" (one published, two to go) and the latter will probably never get written. ::shrugs::

I like the fact that he dissents. Wherever possible, admittedly. I'd rather have a Slimepit where any flaws are quickly pointed out rather than have it succumb to the near-totalitarian atmosphere of FfTB (despite SGBM's best efforts - but he's really more a brutal reflection of your average baboon anyway)

I love the dissent, dissent is good. It helps to stave off the deadly group think. I hope he is as stubborn as I am and sticks around.

'Scuse my spam, but if you are into needlepoint or cross-stitch, some years ago I made Over 1700 free patterns that can be done in either needlepoint or cross-stitch at any size you like.

Bookmarked! I like the flowers especially.

I'm well-versed in most of the needle/fiber arts, and knitting is the fiber art of choice at the moment. I'm trying to make more of my own clothing by hand, with the rest fair-trade, organic, and/or recycled, but unfortunately I'm usually drawn to knitting interminable lace pieces which no one, not even tall Pre-Raphaelitish yours truly, can wear and are too large to use even as wallhangings. Heh.

I swear that knitting keeps me from throttling some of my malingering twat colleagues.

No I had not missed that, I just thought it was obviously stupid. Sorry I did not make myself clear. Sally has no clue about the Internet, how it works, what denizens inhabit it and even about memes. goatse being a well known meme.
... She had enough of a clue to map the IP to New Jersey. As far as I know she did that unassisted.
Where is there any indication of that? Unless she made reference to the location before 3:47, I can’t see that that is a credible argument because of this post:

You argue that she is supposedly clever and Internet-savvy enough to have used sock-puppets, yet isn’t enough so to “put a raw IP into a browser”? Something does not compute, Captain ....

This is a great demonstration that the Baboons have no idea of cause and effect. They tried their damnest to tar TAM2012 with exagerrated threats about rape, harassment, and how DJ is a sexist pig. Plus, add Lousy's homophobia in the mix, and then you wonder why quite a number of the TAM2012 attendees were a little irked by the presence of some of those flinging the shit. The response came in the form of gentle and satirical T-shirt messages, and parody.

This pails into insignificance when compared to the abuse and vitriol thrown from the Baboons in the last year or so. I just get the feeling Amy and her frail supporters are just gutted that there are others in the A/S community (especially women - those "gender traitors") who are now actively opposing and challenging them.

Surly Amy - go and fuck off.

I’m sure Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda, would have been pleased to have had you as an understudy – you probably could have taught him a thing or two.

That you have managed to inflate some picayune and oblique reference by Thibeault to, I believe, Grothe preferring men to some pervasive, odious and all-encompassing “homophobia” is truly a triumph of innuendo if not propaganda. Well done, true and faithful servant to the Fatherland! Sieg Heil!

Has to be said, there was certainly some irony in his criticising you for conflating Teebo's dig at Grothe as acute homophobia...and then blithely going on to induce an explicit reducto ad Hitlerum from the fact.

Basing your arguments on clearly and easily discreditable points doesn’t seem particularly “fast” – more like shooting yourself in the feet. Nor likely to win many friends or converts. But then again, maybe you’re only trolling for the “lulz” or doing your part in some fifth column ....

Since they're still clueless retarded enough to believe that franc is Victor Ivanoff, does that mean that they're intentionally doc dropping someone's "identity"?
That's because they are too cowardly to say I am Keyser Söze.

What was it that Myers prize heifer, that represents ALL Australian godless women, Chrys Stevenson said again? "First Victor has noted that at the GAC I had to vouch for him as he arrived without ID. That is correct. I have no reason to lie about that." No evidence of any kind, never saw anything that looked like an ID, reconstructed memory, hope for the best.

Point me to ONE SINGLE THING about any baboon that "computes". OK, this is going in circles, bits and pieces everywhere, no one seems to get the flow of events. This is all fetched from Sally "one bourbon, one scotch and one box of xanax" Strange's twitter feed. This is how it unfolded -

Sally gets cornered for evidence on twitter after slandering TF
Sally gets evasive and denies everything
Sally burbles it was different IPs
Sally says she has the other IP
Sally gets demands for TF to tweet the IP then
Sally says TF gave it to her and its from New Jersey (provides no IP)
Sally gets a pat and asked for TF to tweet IP again
Sally is silent
franc browses past the fake TF giving the goatse mirror IP to Sally on TF's blog
franc does a location look up and finds it's in New Jersey
franc has an "ahah! experience" as he connects the dots

Is everyone clear?

Seriously? I know the branding of anyone opposing the Baboon as a troll (along with a whole shedload of other meaningless tags and insults) is an old tactic, but an accusation that you're doing this to become "internet famous". Ha ha. It's not often I hear of the old "you're only doing this get famous" insult. It's pretty shit, and I didn't think the Baboons would stoop to such shitty arguments. Still, these are the same people who completely fail to see Rebecca Watson's publicity seeking activities.

So maybe you think that that “conflating” isn’t morally reprehensible? That it doesn’t call for some serious condemnation? That it should be swept under the rug as “my cause, right or wrong”?

Can’t see that there was much irony in the criticism itself, but I can say there wasn’t any blitheness in using sarcasm to condemn it as the same sort of political opportunism manifested by Goebbels.

Even if Cabin-Boy Toothless Fuck [his arguments, not his mouth] can only dream of such glory as he wears his “Commander of the Empire” uniform ....

I have to say that I enjoy the diversity of thoughts and opinions presented by most, if not all, of the pitizens; pedants all, or not.

Steersman's self appointed role in this seems to be skeptical compass. And I'm hoping that he isn't salvageable - I don't want this self organised community to become a group think repository.

Has to be said, there was certainly some irony in his criticising you for conflating Teebo's dig at Grothe as acute homophobia...and then blithely going on to induce an explicit reducto ad Hitlerum from the fact.
So maybe you think that that “conflating” isn’t morally reprehensible? That it doesn’t call for some serious condemnation? That it should be swept under the rug as “my cause, right or wrong”?

Can’t see that there was much irony in the criticism itself, but I can say there wasn’t any blitheness in using sarcasm to condemn it as the same sort of political opportunism manifested by Goebbels.

Even if Cabin-Boy Toothless Fuck [his arguments, not his mouth] can only dream of such glory as he wears his “Commander of the Empire” uniform ....

Point me to ONE SINGLE THING about any baboon that "computes". OK, this is going in circles, bits and pieces everywhere, no one seems to get the flow of events. This is all fetched from Sally "one bourbon, one scotch and one box of xanax" Strange's twitter feed. This is how it unfolded -

Sally gets cornered for evidence on twitter after slandering TF
Sally gets evasive and denies everything
Sally burbles it was different IPs
Sally says she has the other IP
Sally gets demands for TF to tweet the IP then
Sally says TF gave it to her and its from New Jersey (provides no IP)
Sally gets a pat and asked for TF to tweet IP again
Sally is silent
franc browses past the fake TF giving the goatse mirror IP to Sally on TF's blog
franc does a location look up and finds it's in New Jersey
franc has an "ahah! experience" as he connects the dots

Is everyone clear?
I’ll admit that “the confusion makes the head go round”. And likewise that they really aren’t coming up smelling much like roses. But that isn’t sufficient reason to let “due diligence” go by the boards ....

Pretty hard to “get the flow of events” when one doesn’t have access to her “twitter feed” and how the time-stamps therein relate to the posts on Thunderfoot’s blog. You, perchance, have that to back up your argument?

And I note that you never did provide me a timestamp for the Twitter post in the Pharwrongula page when I asked for it sometime back ... maybe I missed it?

For fucks sake, I posted the screencaps. Now I suppose I have to backtrack through the thread and find it for you? Should I hold your dick while you pee too? No. How about you do it.

Aside from twitter losing accurate timestamps once an hour has ticked over, plus the issue of unknown timezones, not really possible. It was the same day. You are JUST as capable as me of researching stuff. You however prefer to sit on your ass, nitpick shortcomings and expect everyone to come crawling with silver platters. ALL of the folks here do their bit to research stuff. If YOU are not prepared to share the load, you have NO right to post continuous demands. Clear?

You know what this reminds me of - Cuntgate. When CLS was accused of calling Rebecca Watson a cunt, PZ and Queen Bee were caught out lying. Red handed. Gotcha. Go sit down on the naughty mat. Anyway, PZ tried to divert attention by claiming the fuss was about people getting blocked on Twitter.

Now Rhys is employing a similar tactic in trying to deflect attention away from the DMCA. Rhys is very much a lackey of PZ and Ophelia, so he is too caught up in Baboon Groupthink to consider your POV. He regards you as an enemy, because you are on the list of Baboon enemies.

Don't get cross, Steers - I actually kind of admire SGBM.
Steersman is a quick learner. I think he'll be salvageable. I'm hoping anyway.

Steersman. Don't you fucking let me down you cunt.
I like the fact that he dissents. Wherever possible, admittedly. I'd rather have a Slimepit where any flaws are quickly pointed out rather than have it succumb to the near-totalitarian atmosphere of FfTB (despite SGBM's best efforts - but he's really more a brutal reflection of your average baboon anyway)
I have to say that I enjoy the diversity of thoughts and opinions presented by most, if not all, of the pitizens; pedants all, or not.

Steersman's self appointed role in this seems to be skeptical compass. ...
I’m a long ways away from saying that any particular direction is the preferred one. Only pointing out some discrepancies between the direction some say they are heading in and the direction they actually seem to be heading ...
And I'm hoping that he isn't salvageable - I don't want this self organised community to become a group think repository.
I’ll agree, have argued, that group-think is a serious problem. Although it seems one might reasonably argue, on not a small amount of evidence, that this community has still organized itself around some highly questionable dogma of its own. But I can’t see that riding madly off in all directions helps matters much at all ....

A commenter on the Canuck thread considered the entire post a troll/de-rail because the real issue is censorship and DMCA.

Oh, but that's wrong...we all know 'Surly Amy' can do no wrong!

Hairs breadth from going into my collapsed comment bin. I dislike overuse of "troll". It used to be an artform, corrupted as all things have been once consumer internet became ubiquitous. He's a time waster.

They may self-identify as skeptical, reasonable people but for some reason, just on this one topic, they act a great deal more like tribal zealots than any common or garden religious fundamentalist.
He's making a sweeping generalisation about people who oppose the Baboons. Thing is, it sounds like he is referring to the Baboons.

Steersman, as http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... 6800#p8112 , said:
But I really can’t see there is any credibility in arguing that he is a "fatuous, self-centered, woefully ignorant retard, who only sees in pure black and white”.
That's because, unlike me, and many of us long timers, yo have not been dealing with that fatuous, self-centered, woefully ignorant retard who only sees in pure black and white, for over a year now. Had you been so, er, unfortunate, you would agree that he is a fatuous, self-centered, woefully ignorant retard, who only sees in pure black and white -- unless you are in fact some kind of disputatious-just-because kind of person, as you sometimes seem. Your ongoing oblique defense of FfTB and Skepchick hypocrisy and dishonesty is becoming very tiresome, especially in light of the fact that you consistently misrepresent them in a false positive light because you have not had anywhere near enough time here, or there, to be as familiar with their history and their tactics as we are.

Well, as I said, I could be wrong. I certainly have been before, and I will be again. But being shown the error of my evil, evil ways, is always a, well, not pleasant, but a rewarding experience.

Strange seeing Jean get so upset over this trivial affair, when there have been far more serious "bullying" episodes in the A/S community in the last year or so.
Kazez is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes she seems highly reasonable and rational; at other times she is almost indistinguishable from a full rank Baboolie.

Yes, but? How dare he use coordinating conjunctions! C'mon Greta, go after him for that!

In all seriousness, here is more distortion and refusing to admit that DMCA is bullying/reprehensible.

So what if the automated system told me the post could be restored? The filing of a DMCA in the first place TOOK THE POST DOWN and results in censorship. It's complete nonsense. 'Surly Amy,' if she filed it, could have -- outside of DMCA or automated system -- sent me a message asking to take the image down (as she apparently did with Thunderf00t).

He's defending the indefensible.

Have you actually read the comments on that LC thread! Makes me want to vomit.

Up near the top, comment 21ish, I think, makes reference of the fact that Dawkins, Harris and Dennett don't have to face rape threats or death threats from fellow atheists and skeptics. I took this to mean that there is a claim Amy has faced rape threats and death threats. Can anybody clarify this?

Nonsense. The address of 'Surly Amy' is public information. It seems she has trademarked "Art You Can Wear" (really??!?) and "Surly-Ramics."
