Aye lad. Tell me about it.

As I stated earlier, it is only the people who have been *critical* of Amy who have gotten DMCA threats.

Anyone who posts positive things aka advertisements (see io9), are given a free pass.

Either theyre both DMCA worthy, or theyre both not. That only the critical ones are is evidence that Amy is abusing DMCA to silence criticism.

The bit in bold says more than enough about the mindset of the A+theism crowd. Online interactions are only as important and meaningful as offline interactions to people who don't really have all that much offline interaction. It sounds like what they really want are the friends and acceptance they apparently never got that much of in real life. I mean c'mon, you're crying over what Matt did? Strong enough to put yourself out there? Out where? An anonymous forum where the people you're interacting with are practically faceless words on a screen. Shit, I'd hate to be around any of them when they get a hangnail, the pain might just be too much for them to bear.

Oh, and oolon, I'm getting the impression that you and I are doomed to keep going around in a circle on this issue, repeating the same points over and over again without progress one way or the other. Since my goal wasn't to change your mind but to explain my personal pov, I don't think I know how to clarify my position any better than I already have in my two (very lengthy) replies to you. If that's not enough than I don't know where to go from here. I will answer to this though,

I'd bet you even the most brass-necked Pharyngulite will concede there is a chance 'franc hoggle' even could be 'redeemed'

Not as 'franc hoggle' he wouldn't be. As 'franc hoggle' he is "Proud angry masturbator, aficionado of scat porn, all-around repulsive fellow, and that's not me speculating, PZ have said as much (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/dungeon/). And while we're at it, ask Abbie about how PZ and Greta have announced that they refuse to attend the same conferences as her because they supposedly 'fear for their safety' .

Now I think oolon is a slimy turd, but there is no need for this bollocks.

I agree, although I think it may even be oolon himself testing doxing himself to see how we'll react. This is probably one of those rare times when the links and names should be edited out of the posts. Anyone can still do a WHOIS, but that way oolon won't be able to whine and call it a docdrop. Technically it probably isn't, since it's publicly available, but first time poster docdropper smells like a setup.

Is there a mod in the house? :shock:

I'm very much against banning, it seems to go against the spirit of the board. As you say it's up to Lsuoma, but thats what I think.
Speaking of banning, I wonder how long it would last if I were to go over to the LMC and post my soundtrack to that heartbreaking tale.

I am very much against banning as well. It does go against the spirit of things here. But when someone signs up just to dox someone, I tend to think there's exceptions to every rule.

Spence wrote:Oolon is certainly most dishonest about how s/he goes about arguing. Whilst I am reluctant to agree with a separate thread, I would note that I pwned oolon in a debate on Thunderf00t's blog by pinning them down to one subject. Because thunderf00t's blog was threaded, replies were always associated with the original comment and oolon, being a troll, had to reply to that comment and not ignore or cherry pick responses. By pinning him/her down to one topic which s/he was unable to defend (because he lacks sufficient critical thinking ability to do so), s/he eventually cried off and refused to debate me, rather than retract the statement that s/he was unable to support.

Which, against such a blatant troll, is a pretty epic win IMNSHO :dance:

We need to be careful though. I think oolon should be allowed to have a voice here, troll or otherwise, and some dissenting voices, even fully retarded ones, are better than none.

Brilliant! Such a great 20-20 memory you must lead a very fulfilled life online Spence :-)

I seem to remember it as we went round and round and round on the previous thread with no one giving ground. Probably same as Saint N has recognised we will here too - we need to agree to disagree. Then on the next thread you tried to keep the pointless discussion going so I took the piss rather than the bait and you missed it was even a joke! I'll refer you to Dunning-Kruger for more investigation, you are a good 'un :think:

Rather than ban, why not just replace the personal details of a doxxing post with asterisks - but keep the essential content (such as it is) of the post there? Seems a fair compromise to me.

I, Magritte, am truly sorry for this, and acknowledge a HUGE penis, as large as - or larger than - that of Alfie Noakes, growing out of the centre of my forehead. This is true. Love, Magritte.

I have known this for some time now. The question is why would you post that here? Somehow I doubt that anyone here is interested in calling him or showing up at his doorstep.

BTW people, my reason for taking oolon as he appears to be, is because I once visited his site and read some of his material there. Unless he is trolling even his own blog, he does appear to me to be exactly how he portrays himself here and in other places.


Of course this could be the Aspie aspect of my personality, but so far I have not seen anything to indicate that he is anything else. Think of the thief that is convinced that everyone is exactly like him. Everyone does it, they just have not been caught at it, people who decry thieving are just being hypocrites.

In my view, oolon is operating from a similar set of premises. He really is projecting his racism, sexism, and homophobia onto everyone else. You are never going to convince him otherwise because he knows better. Everyone is like him, they just hide it better.

YMMV

Deleting or editing someone else's post was the very thing that I couldn't figure out how to do last time. I saw a scary button in there too, somewhere among my explorations. It's said something like 'delete entire thread'. I screamed (inside my head), picturing horrible scenes of pressing the wrong buttons, and ran. Didn't stop running until I exited the administration panel. I just can't handle it. Total wimp out. I used to know my way around a much older version of this software, but that looked all different and has mostly been forgotten in some inaccessible area of my brain. I'll get friendly with BBCodes, but not the administration panel. Yikes!!! :shock:

I see from my Twitter feed that Renee Hendricks is lurking about. Sign up!!! You'll like it here.

For completeness' sake, an update: my post in the Lousy Canuck "Matt...apologize" discussion was approved for posting, apparently within the past hour.

My prior assumption that it had been shit-canned was in error. That, or it had been shit-canned but then was pulled back out and rinsed off a bit.

I'd like to know why it is not reasonable given at least for the first two making any statement like that by a public figure (In the UK) would result in serious censure and resignations etc. Actually in the UK the third would result in accusations of sexism regardless of the insistence here that 'no one' in the UK thinks of c*nt as sexist!

But I will call Bruce, the 6.5" white, cis-gendered, very heterosexual disco bouncer a cunt if he acts as such (being a fucking ass).

Ummmm. Well I thought it was supposed to be ironic or something like that.

Anyway, remember oolon was born that way. What he can do perhaps is do some honest introspection. I suspect that might help, and why I keep suggesting it to him.

Probably yes. I remember when the Pappa rape joke furore happened, someone dropped Pappa's docs on an FfTB forum. It was roundly condemned by the FfTB commentariat and the post was soon excised.

Not only does it fail to make the point he suggests, it makes the opposite point. We have a UK feminist saying that cunt shouldnt be seen as taboo!

By the way, nice try at shifting the goalposts. I'm not saying that NOBODY in the UK thinks like that - there's bound to be some as it seems to be an idea that many radical feminists hold (as opposed to mainstream UK feminists - like the one in your link)

Can't we get a better troll?

Ha! Fucking brilliant! Dick, you didn't understand a thing I said did you? I said in a specific context cunt is insulting FFS! Reading comprehension not your strong point. I suppose you cannot tell the difference from text in "quotes" and text not in quotes so I shouldn't be surprised.

From that link.

Oolons Feminist Link wrote: Context is everything - to describe a penis as a dick is a statement of fact; to describe an entire human being as a dick is derogatory simply because it implies there is nothing more than that to them as a person. Why can't the same analysis apply to 'cunt'?

So yeah calling a man a dick is derogatory for the reasons she states, same reasons for cunt and a woman.

Is that simple enough for you to understand now? I'm happy to say this for example... Dick Strawkins is the stupidest cunt I've seen on this board. (Assuming you are male... Oops! Hence I rarely use this insult on the internet)

This is why I oppose the call for immediate banning. Removing the personal info out of the comment does a better job of dealing with a possible lapse in judgement. If the problem persists and becomes a recurring issue, then we can talk about harsher penalties.

Ugh I hate to point it out but I have no idea what this one is... I have seen the Rebecca 'doc drop' and was not impressed.
