I politely beg to differ, having spent several afternoons reading the forums and going.. wut. wut.

If you tell people they're very right and all their opinions are valid, you are IN in a biiiiig way. Also, keep repeating that you used to think differently but now you've seen the light and you understand social justice on account of having an epiphany about how people get treated.

Bonus points if you're a fake underprivileged person. Just don't be too underprivileged. I notice the cannibal kid hasn't become a mod.

I can't remember which one it was, and I sure as shit didn't watch the entire thing but there's a google hangout with them (ftb bloggers) on youtube discussing how they don't need to actually work towards accomplishing goals. Their role is to be the "thinkers", and to do what they're "good at", which apparently is writing.

OK, here it is. I think I've wiped any names that would get him in trouble.
My friend, who forwarded this, says he recieved the email last Friday.
I was in contact with him today and mentioned something from this site and he immediately said I "had to see this".

I've yet to see any, actually, from the main people. Others who are tangentially involved or not-quite-ready-to-tell-people-it's-stupid (like Hemant, early-Namezie) do really impressive work in social justice. Greta did contribute to the naked revolutionaries calendar and the 'pit definitely gave her props for that.

Their attempt at Aplusscribe is a good idea but it was implemented terribly and almost illegally, and has generally fucked off a whole horde of people.

I knew about Hemant, but then I don't consider part of the navel-gazing pack. I was mainly talking about the FC5 (or 4?).

Now, I freely admit that not many people want to notice something like that. But masturbating or not, it does seem that Jen McCreight shares the same disdain for homeless men that Ophelia "I can't believe I had to sit near a smelly homeless guy on the bus" Benson does. The guy could be mentally ill, be hungry or cold, need lots of help... but to Jen he's just some disgusting worthless homeless wanker worthy of nothing but a shudder of revulsion. Aren't these people supposed to be social justice warriors? Shouldn't they care about this person, despite his public worm-wrestling? Oh, right, the homeless man wasn't a woman. They don't give a flying fuck. How dare that homeless man violate that poor victimized Jen's right to never feel offended!

1 for piegasm, 1 for flewelleyn.

It would be fucking brilliant if it was him, but nah. He's a bit too concerned about defending it outside of the forum. I think he's a true believer and this is the first time in his life he's been entrusted with any responsibility.

Let's put it this way, Jen McCreight (the 'founder' of A+) quit after about a month or so of launching her revolutionary movement to change the public face of atheism. What's left of the idea has been passed on to a bunch of emotionally stunted shut-ins who really don't sound competent enough to organize a 'mass' movement of people, let alone a so called social justice movement.

How does she know they're masturbating to her? Maybe they're just masturbating as she happens to walk-by. It's not like they have a home to go to and jerk off. Note, I'm not making excuses for public masturbation, I'm just saying don't flatter yourself too much Jen, cuz a couple of hobos have masturbated near me too, and I doubt they were checking me out.

If this is true, I'm so cynical that I still think they'll manage to rationalize this as justification for their victim status and evidence of all the oppression and abuse they have to face on a daily basis. As to why they couldn't spot the obvious bullshitter amongst their midst if their complaints are substantive, I predict they'll probably remain deafeningly silent on.

It's not public masturbation she's complaining about. It's masturbation without her consent! I always thought one of the benefits of a wank was that you didn't need anyone's consent.

Oh, and hypothetically, if he asked Jen if it was okay for him to knock one out, would he get the go ahead?

To be fair, she never said specifically that the homeless man was wanking to her - I think you may have misread that middle tweet.

Indeed. All she saw was a filthy disgusting object, not a man in need of help. She probably thought he was exercising his male privilege in addition to his Hobo Willy.

I assumed from the first tweet where she claims that the guy is watching her while jacking, that he must be wanking to her. Not trying to jump to undue conclusions, I just figured it was implied.

Sad thing though, if this is true, then it'll give some legitimacy to the "WE'RE UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK FROM THE TROLLS!!!

Still, the sheer paranoia this will induce in the already paranoid A+ers will be a huge blow, now not only are all those new guys asking some innocent questions and not agreeing 100% from the start probably enemies, now even that new guy that joins the dogpile and totes the party line like a true believer might be the worst troll of all. "Schrödingers Troll" will leave these people paralyzed, unable to trust any new members, or even old ones.

ps. If the poe is Flewellyn, then that puts Dillahuntygate in a completely new light, since he's been the mod that's really been driving that trainwreck. Piegasm though, was the mod that banned the rape-victim iirc.

She lives in Seattle. Oh, does that mean according to SurlyLogic I just doxxed her, even though that is common knowledge and also the headline on her twitter account?

Come on, I can't believe you aren't taking this seriously. Nobody should have to see something that disgusting in a public place. I bet it put him off his stroke.

That homeless bastard was commiting a thought crime.

How disgusting, you think he would consider the feelings of the underprivleged jens of this world as they pass by, and remove himself from sight. Jen doesnt need to be harassed like this, she already has enough on her plate to deal with. She had important things to work out in her head, really really important social justice issues for the oppressed of this society, that she needed to think hard about, so she could get into activist mode again and endure the laptop coal face of making a difference.

My friend, who forwarded this, says he recieved the email last Friday.
I was in contact with him today and mentioned something from this site and he immediately said I "had to see this".
I don't know the mod in question, his real-life name isn't familiar to me, but my friend says he's known him for years.
I gotta go buy a few kgs of popcorn... this will be spectacular.

Sad thing though, if this is true, then it'll give some legitimacy to the "WE'RE UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK FROM THE TROLLS!!! (hence we are allowed to act like paranoid crackpots)"
Maybe but the fact that they thought a Poe was worthy of being a moderator and worked undiscovered so long is proof of how crazy their worldview actually is. The Poe says they were trying to be ludicrous but the actual mods and members outdid him/her at every turn.

Maybe her first tweet had a typo...

What she really meant was:
Apparently my day is going to start by wanking by a homeless man, masturbating in public #ugh

Seattle. I know this because I also live here, and try to make of the local nutjobs to avoid.

Also, I need to get used to double-checking my posts instead of editing later because I have a terrible habit of making typos and leaving out words.

Oh I agree, I wouldn't want to see it either. But my point was...
However, it seems very, very hypocritical of Jennifer McCreight to be so full of disdain considering she suffers from depression - a *mental illness*. Many homeless suffer from mental illness. I wonder why it didn't occur to this "social warrior" to find a way to help this man???
Indeed. All she saw was a filthy disgusting object, not a man in need of help. She probably thought he was exercising his male privilege in addition to his Hobo Willy.
It's because of this crap I find the whole "we're social warriors" line of bullshit coming from AtheismPlus (and their "leaders", proponents, silent partners, whatever the fuck they're calling themselves) maddening.

Yes, it's so hilarious, very telling, and just so damn sad, all at the same thing. Unfortunately I think this will be ignored by a lot of people that are "in the middle" or undecided about the whole thing, if nothing else the A+ers will make damn sure that nothing else but their wailing and gnashing of their teeth is heard, when they lament how EVIL the trolls are!

Is it strange that they sometimes overreact when we now can see the lengths the MISOGYNIST TROLLS are willing to go just to DESTROY and HARASS their righetou... you get the idea.

Not in the least bit true.
He imperiously replied to an accurate calm poster just this morning.
(And keeps responding on his comment threads. I have that thread on RSS feed, and regularly have to clear a handful of posts. From others: exclusively sanely critical, from Dick Carrier: exclusively sociopathic & imperiously infantile.)

He flat-out refuses to accept any blame, and deflects his detractors using the same crude & illogical primary-school tricks that ordinary humans abandon after they turn 12.
