LMU said:

Why isn't there a website or hashtag #PZMyersthinksrapesisfunny.com? With links to all the (dozens? hundreds?) of rape jokes he endorses on his blog.

I think that is a good idea. Were I a Twitterer, I would do that hastag thingy.

Although your example (gun > porcupine holder) is a tiny bit extreme in its hypotheticals, it is still valid.I agree with what you say LMU.

Second sentence in my last comment is the one with the magic invisible quotes.

Mr. X not coming to TAM

This is a Skeptical Abyss news update. Breaking news.

The SA newsroom has just learned that Mr. X has pulled out of attending TAM2012. Our anonymous tipster has indicated that Mr. X feels that, due to the publicity he has received lately, he would not feel welcome at TAM and fears he would be harassed.

We are seeking comment from Mr. X.

Maybe taking some time off. I have no idea what Baboolie-driven shit she was having to deal with behind the scenes at SB, but it can't have been fun for her.

I'm not surprised to not see her here. I hope she does choose to come and play here - I loved her snarky posting style and her I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude...

#127

Reading, I feel like this has gone down the road of what's okay to say/what's not okay to say/you're a bastard if you dare say it. Except now y'all are in on it too.

Moral highground is fine, but if you're banning yourselves from using certain words, it sort of... fucks up the point of having this argument in the first place. It's a game of stupid words, no one is advocating the application of cunt-kicks willynilly or pressuring people into insert porcupines. The fact FtB finds it fine to use one but not the other demonstrates they're hypocrites, sure - WHAT A SURPRISE - but why does this mean *we* need to cut back on the language?

#128

I'm bored...

I don't care to engage in the drama any longer. Justicar is completely mad. I have no desire to engage a madman. This is for the rest of you, and then, I'm done.

this is one of many comments regarding Justicar acting as if the original slimepit was his blog

http://scienceblogs.com/erv/2011/11/26/ ... ment-49261
If you need more, they are there.

Here is Justicar admitting that it was not Abbie's decision, it was his, then later he quotes Abbie as saying she is "tired of the shit" which I would take to mean she is tired of being harassed, but Justicar acts as if she is tired of the language and other things being said, and so he says "I agree with her", only she posted the complete opposite a few pages back:

"...Moreover, it is not a proper equivalence to equate â€˜censorshipâ€™ with â€˜being more thoughtfulâ€™. Abbie hasnâ€™t laid down any edicts. People arenâ€™t being banned. Comments arenâ€™t disappearing. Itâ€™s a request (at least on my part) that people spend a few extra seconds when posting to make sure theyâ€™re not being gratuitous just because it can be done. Like I said â€“ not to be perverse in the Edgar Allan Poe sense, which is to do something for sole fact that it can be done. The nuclear option is always on the table.

It neednâ€™t be used to often for the sake of continuing to do it.

I ask people who come to my house if theyâ€™d be kind enough to take off their shoes. They are free to not to without consequence. Itâ€™s just a request.

But other people pointing and saying, say, youâ€™re wearing your shoes. You know the host doesnâ€™t really like that. Maybe you could think of not wearing your shoes, but itâ€™s your decision.

Abbie has said sheâ€™s tired of the shit. I agree with her, and Iâ€™m trying to encourage, poke and prod people into letting go of certain things...

http://scienceblogs.com/erv/2011/11/26/ ... ment-49338

I'll be back to post more relevant comments including the one that Abbie posted about language and freedom. It's all there, as I said, if one reads the original slimepit thread, everything I stated in my post is proved.

#129

rayshul - see my poll, in which I characterized myself as a "lazy cunt".

A day or so ago I got some private complaints about the tone of the board and overreacted in a post or two, trying to get people to tone it down. That's clearly not going to work, and I made a mistake in trying to force or strongly guide the issue.

I'm not going to say I like cunt kick because it is now so fucking boring. Really, really boring. But I'm not going to censor it. It was genuinely witty and funny (not the same thing) when Franc first came up with it, but now I find the whole cunt kick thing to be so old it's going moldy, starting to smell bad, and growing hairs on it.

So, that's why I personally don't like the subject any more.

Just like Justicar's hissy fits - boring. I saw several of those over at ERV, and don't need to see any more.

I want to read new, amusing things...

Also, you almost got thrown out? That's so AWESOME.

Exactly. I said somewhere earlier today that I don't really care about his trash talk, and his lies or ignorance about the original tagline for this board. But I did appreciate his wit more often than not.

Not me: I was confused at first, but I think that Slither was referring to sacha...

#136

Err, yes, I was referring to sacha, and her amazing post:

http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... &t=73#p761

PZ telephoned the organizer of a skeptic's event that I am attending, and said that I wrote a post calling Becci a gender traitor, and that he feared for Rebeca's safety. How do I know? The organizer is an acquaintance of mine. He told them that he knew me and I was harmless, and Rebecca asked him to tell me not to speak to her!

#137

As part of their efforts to get more women into skeptic conferences... PZ attempts to ban women from skeptic conferences.

That's beautiful, it really is.

#138

AND, PZ is now claiming that calling a woman a "gender traitor" means that one is dangerous! So much for all of his regulars who've called Abbie a "gender traitor", or worse! And what about Watson, who called Stef McGraw and Rose St. Clair "anti-woman" and similar things? Wouldn't she, too, be dangerous according to that standard?

Oh, the hypocrisy, it burns!!

LMU wrote:Disclaimer: I already talked about this in another thread, so I apologize in advance for the repetition and I won't bring it up again if people think I'm derailing.

A LOT has been said about gendered insults, but I don't understand why more isn't said (on FTB or here) about rape jokes on FTB. I'm referring to the "porcupine" and related insults prominent on Pharyngula. I assume they are still common, but I stopped reading months ago, so I apologize if this is not correct.

They are rape jokes, it's a whole blog that thinks raping people is funny. I think I saw someone arguing that it's not rape because the person is doing it to themselves. This is incorrect, *consent* is what makes it not rape, not the person doing it. For example it is obviously rape if a person holds a gun to someone's head and fucks them with x. It is still rape if a person holds a gun to someone's head and tells them to fuck themselves with x. (The 'x' here can be anything: penises, porcupines, fingers, knives, whatever, it's still rape.) All those "insert porcupine" comments read to me as "I rape so-and-so with a porcupine. Isn't that funny? Haha."

They might have a better explanation, but so far it's excuses from rape apologists. Why are they defending raping people in the first place? I realize they have a double standard, but is there a better explanation than "It's okay when they do it"? Seriously asking here.

Every time FTB brings up gendered slurs, or how they banned someone for such a thing, why aren't they being responded to with some flavor of; "You have a blog full of wannabe rapists and rape apologists and you're complaining about this?" "You banned someone who called you a bad name once a year ago, but you haven't banned the people who make rape jokes in every thread?" etc.?

Of course you are 100% correct. However even though I personally do not agree with the power of magical words, I have to agree with Russell Blackford

#141

thanks, guys. I think I just need a break after this.
Plus, I do not want Abbie in the middle of anything. She was the target for far too long.

I'm going to spend hours finding quotes from the original and post them here, which should be plenty to make my case. In retrospect I could have done that and never spoken for Abbie, and that is what I should have done. I did not even need Abbie to say a word, it's all there.

Just one thing that Justicar wrote in his blog post that I'd like to address (without any links). He said "And if Sacha is going to maintain that Abbie has told her I've hurt Abbie and put Abbie's well-being at risk"

I never said that. Look for yourself. I took in all the evidence and came to that conclusion. Abbie would probably not say that even if she did come to the same conclusion. I never said that she and Justicar are not really friends, I said he exaggerated his relationship with her to further his agenda.

If anyone assumed I said that Abbie said Justicar hurt her and put her at risk, or if anyone thought I was saying that their friendship did not exist, I never meant to imply that. I'd like to make that clear.

The rest I stand by.

And again, I'll be back with more links.

#142

I think it's a dangerous thing to say the word cunt is bad. It's one step away from the dude who was like omfg vagina is the worst word evar.

#143

rayshul - You came to the right place. We hate the dogma from FfTB also. Grab a beer and make yourself at home.

Woke to the sound of Michael Kelly no less, bumping his gums about whether the Huns should be flushed down into SFL3. Then Judy's boy managed to whack poor Jo-Wilfred in the bits at a hundred and fuckin' forty m.p.h. or something, and won the dubious privilege (oh shit ..) of a public execution by Roger on Sunday.

all I said was that I did not need to mention what Abbie said, because it is in her post, she did mention other things, that I feel is too personal to post. I'm not denying that she told me the exact same thing, she did, but I do not want her in the middlde of a flame war. That is not fair to her.

Wait until you read the comments, then make your decision, okay?

If you decide I'm being disingenuous after that, I will disagree, but respect your position. I like you, and you make me laugh, that won't change. You should see my last comment to Justicar on Abbie thread to begin:

Ophhelia's talking about cyberbullying again, and the importance of shunning bullys, and of course, nary a word about Laden.

But really, letâ€™s be serious â€“ the people I shun because they call women cunts (or giggle at others who do, like Miranda) arenâ€™t hurt or humiliated by my shunning. They couldnâ€™t possibly care less in that sense. They donâ€™t care at all; their attempts to comment here are just more bullying.

So, Miranda is yet again being harrassed and belittled and demeaned by Ophelia. And the mere attempt to comment at Ophelia's Barn of Indiscretion is bullying.

I'm not banning myself from anything. I've simply made a choice not to use certain loaded words in some contexts because the potential response is simply not worth the risk. Freedom of speech does not imply freedom from accountability.

The YMMV in my previous indicates this is just my opinion and you might feel differently.

ROFLOL at the Raging Bee.

Some of you folks here are, of course, familiar with the empty bin liner posing as an intellect that calls itself Raging Bee, right? RIght.

Well, here's a juicy wee morsel from teh Bee in regard to LousyJason's latest post trying to buck up support for FfTB -- by the by, Jason quotes a few outside supporters of FfTB to prove that FfTB is a good place to be, and he says:

Itâ€™s really great to know that some fantastic writers are not letting this slide, even though theyâ€™re not personally the ones being targeted.

One of the outside "great writers" who suports FfTB? Rebecca Watson. Yeah, I howled with laughter too.

Anyway, on to teh Bee:

The attacks on FTB as a place given to â€œflame wars,â€ and the â€œhive-mindâ€ BS, are both nothing but a right-wing propaganda campaign aimed at discrediting FTB without even looking at the substance of whatâ€™s being said here. Lots of commenters complain about â€œflame wars,â€ but NONE of them specified which FTB posts were â€œflame warsâ€ as opposed to heated arguments of substance. Why no citation? Because the complainers knew they were full of shit, and any citation would bring a reader to a post where a substantive argument was at the heart of the â€œflamesâ€ â€” an argument the complainers didnâ€™t want us to notice.

This is classic Rovian propaganda. Take it as proof that youâ€™re making a difference, and keep up the good work.

LOL. Right-wing propoganda campaign. Wheehaw!

#152

Ophelia:

Some shunning of course is mean and in fact bullying, but some shunning is good and necessary.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... ent-214595

Makes you wonder who gets to decide what type of "shunning" is OK. I think she must mean the type of shunning approved by the FC5 Baboon bullies.

And yep, still not a word on Osama Greg Laden. Not that it matters, Opheliar is well past the stage when anyone could take her remotely seriously.

I really haven't been considered "right wing" since the 80s. At the latest, maybe right after Desert Shield/Storm. Wow. I do wonder - if most of the posts are "flame wars", then would any citation be needed?

#154

Simon at Opheliar's:

What I also find ironic and unfortunate is that what seems to be the most virulent manifestation of this hatred toward particular individuals is by fellow atheists.

If someone has seen a religious forum out there that devotes a significant percentage of its posts to discussing FTB or Skepchicks please let me knowâ€¦
http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... ent-214628

The first part has some truth in it - namely, the FC5 Baboons bullying other atheists and skeptics, issuing email threats, coming up with homophobic slurs, etc. The second part doesn't make sense - I've no idea of who Simon could be making an allusion to!!!

What the fuck has that fud been saying now? I live in ingerland so I don't see this stuff unless I go looking for it. I'll never understand why the media go to the likes of Kelly for his views on anything (then again perhaps I do have an idea why). He had his chance to run things and look how that turned out. Anyone else in his position would keep their head down and shut the fuck up. The hubris of the man is staggering.

#156

BTW, did anyone catch this gem from Opheliar:

Quite. Itâ€™s kind of like 1964 Mississippi. Waiting for basic human decency didnâ€™t work out, so people finally had to do more than wait.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... ent-214570

Oh yeah, that riiiiigggghhhhtttttt? Opheliar sees herself as some kind of Martin Luther King crusader. :lol: The thing is, Martin Luther King would have called out Greg Laden by now. :roll:

#157

okay, someone just sent this to me. Apparently this is the reason I have called out Justicar on his bullshit:

seriously? If I were to write about every person who publicly stated they were not font of Franc, it would take a few lifetimes. Does he remember my complementing him for a great post on ERV at the exact same time he was having another argument with Franc?

Franc does not need me to white-knight him against Justicar.

Perhaps he can imagine a better reason.

OK it is quite clear to me now. I thought Franc was torturing Ophilia, and as I do not believe in torture, I suggested he stop.

Seriously though, I have just come to the conclusion that it is actually a consensual S&M relationship (and perhaps without a safe word).

So for the above reason, while I decline to participate, if Franc continues to "kick" OB in the cunt, I am not saying another word.

Seriously.

Well, I'm rather non-plussed about Franc's CK references, but I'm not going to throw a hissy fit like Justicar. The way I see it, there is plenty of bad behaviour, hypocrisy and double standards on display from the Baboons, that the CK meme is rather fruitless. :|

Ophelia, in particular, has gone berserk in recent months, providing a never-ending source of Baboon shit for us to laugh at. Best to concentrate on that kind of stuff. It's funnier and more productive. ;)

That's fair enough, and great - thanks for clarifying. I still don't think it's a moral highground but I can understand not wanting to have that on your public record.

I'm not anonymous. I mean I guess I'm anonymous here, technically, because I haven't put in my whole name, but I usually link to my website and my twitter - which populates my professional LinkedIn feed with the vast amount of swearing I do. I work in a professional role and use the word cunt as both a verb and a noun in my day to day work life, which includes discussions in meetings, contemplations about a particular project, thoughts about my computer, thoughts about stuff on my computer, thoughts about my work colleagues, thoughts about what's on my work colleagues computers, ways to describe the weather, and in serious talks with high-level stakeholders and professionals.

So, yeah. I'm not too bothered. If someone chooses not to work with me/hire me/whatever because I say cunt a lot on the internet, that's not someone I'm super interested in working for. Although, given that I've probably interviewed with them and used to the word cunt liberally, they probably already know that.

I can appreciate if you're in a role though where people are like, OMFG U SAID A BAD WORD, you should probably limit your cussing.

Also I just noticed I didn't log in before I posted here so I'm super anonymous. HAHAHAHAOOPS.

Ah, font of franc works. I'm font of franc. Lots of folks are font of franc. Some folks are not font of franc. Is he Adobe, or MS?

Justicar has gone off the deep end; he's friggin' certifiable.

So, his best move right now would be to join FfTB: home, home on the range, where Ladens and Ophelias play, and seldom is heard, a dissenting word, and the lies are all Justi and gay.

There is only a company called Sevco who have a stadium and a training ground, but no league, no licence and only enough cloggers to have a game of five-a-side, all else is history.

I have not forgotten to find comments from the original SP and post the links here, nor have I changed my mind. I just finished with work, and I need to relax, and I will probably fall asleep, so this will have to wait. I'll try to have everything posted by the end of the weekend, I certainly hope so, because I am tired of the subject...

I dislike forums as well. I ended up double posting on this forum because of not knowing where threads are.. I'm going to mostly pretend this is the only place to post for a while I think. Maybe SN could do the same thing, I'd miss her posts.

Coming soon to an atheist conference near you: justice sheds!

Coincidentally, all the suspects in this video appear to be male.

That's the idea of the 'Periodic Table of Swearing' forum. Essentially to continue the ERV style thread. The other forums can be used for extras, side issues, new questions, etc.

If people want I'm more than happy to create a WordPress blog an have the Undead Thread there. Other stuff could stay here...

That would make Scented Nectar happy.

I personally don't care where the slime pit is. I do like having this forum section for the wiki page though.

Currently wrestling with domain names to get it to appear at http://blog.slympit.com/.

Which do people prefer? Blog or forum? (I know SN's answer...)

I kinda like the idea that the blog should host the chitchat, and the forum hold the less ephemeral stuff...

Oh, and no banning or editing, and no moderating except for three or more links or the bad eight-letter word...
