He's a creep.

Fucking Laden... I should have sued him when I had the chance just to put the fucking fear in his bitch-ass.

So, like, I was browsing Phawrongula on the Prune comparing — or not comparing, in her opinion — TAM to Nazi Germany, and down the line I came across the link to parallel logic.

Where an example of it was applied to 'freethought', namely this,

Prune wrote:

“Freethought” means you use reason and logic to come to a conclusion, and not believing everything anyone says — even a close friend — at face value.

Hahahahahahahahaha yes right that’s what freethought means. A close friend tells you she has a headache and you interrogate her for an hour trying to get her to demonstrate that fact beyond a reasonable doubt.

A stunning example of her intellect. Conflating 'everything' with 'anything' and cocking it up (as I notice Tigzy also pointed out, good show!), and so I thought, "Hey, that's exactly what freethought means - reason and logic - scepticism applied to everything, with exceptions." So I clicked on the link and the poster who wrote it blinked onto the screen. ... It's me! Who knew I could say something intelligent???

Also, I had a post dedicated to me by the Prune (such an honour!) and I didn't even realise. Dickens! (This has been brought to you by the attention whore commitee. MEEEEEEEEE. P. *ahem* Carry on.)

You know of course, that Laden is smarter than you guys. Sure, you can dox him, but his house has wheels, so...

I've left off the names for my year-end list, but it will be easy to guess. For a bit of a twist, the style is based on King Crimson's Elephant Talk; here's a youtube vid if you're not familiar with it:

120 hate tweets in the past 24 hrs, Greg? Would those be the invisible kind? A search for "@gregladen" at Twitter brings up 3 tweets from Myekru (2 from their exchange about Laden's doxxing), a few from people who seem to agree with him on various things, and 1 or 2 from people who don't appear to agree from him. There's nowhere near 120 tweets directed to him, that I see. (Caveat that I don't use twitter, may not know all the ins & outs of finding everything.) ...

Several hours later: Okay, now the tweets critical of him are starting to pile up. But that didn't start until after he posted the "open letter" above in which he threatened Abbie, and the tweet in which he faux-doxxed Renee, and more people heard about him doxxing Mykeru's ex-wife.

And, y'all might be interested to know that Laden has the clap. Must be true, I read it on twitter. ;)

Aren't you supposed to have sex with someone to catch that? Well, thanks a lot Skep Tickle, that's a nice imagery to start the day.

*pukes*

Someone has to ask Greggie what a "Bionthropologist" is - does he mean a bioanthropologist (biological anthropologist) or maybe a bionic anthropologist, or maybe something completely new. Considering he claims credit for writing his book, who knows what the hell he means.

The Pussy Pass: http://www.avoiceformen.com/a-voice-for ... ussy-pass/ at AVfM, and the same info in voice-over on Wooly Bumblebee's channel here:
[youtube]8qS-7pU0Kp8[/youtube]

Why do we give women a free pass. Why is it that we excuse women when they murder children, or when they murder men. Why is the grotesque and nearly inconceivable sexual mutilation of a human being funny if the knife is wielded by a woman. ...

As rational adults, we excuse outrageous behavior for other people too. Toddlers, and the mentally defective. Isn’t the free pass we give women an implicit claim that they’re either toddlers – or mentally defective?

I haven't listened to the episode but the intro linked & quoted above is intriguing (thought-provoking even though I suspect I wouldn't agree with all their conclusions, will have to listen to find out).

The topic also seems appropriate especially in light of RW joking-about-or-possibly-promoting mutilation of male genitalia on several occasions (recent tweet, inclusion of a cartoon in a talk w/in last year or so, and prior distribution of an ASCII picture of a bird grasping a penis in its claws to at least one man - more info on that one at Scented Nectar's site).

The incedents of internet vitriol turning into real life violence is extremely small. The fact that Laden is using Doxing as his weapon means he wants other people to commit the violence for him. And no one is going to care about his little hissy fit to carry out his wishes.

I am just going to leave this here because I am pretty certain it is going to piss off some of the baboons:


http://judgybitch.com/2012/12/13/breadw ... able-team/

What I am telling the senior management team is that I WILL HOST A TON OF THOSE EVENTS and I will do an amazing job. Men with working wives can’t even dream of doing that. There’s just no way. There are NO married women with children in senior administration at Mr. JB’s workplace because they just can’t do it. Not a chance.

But I can. And I will. And I would like nothing more than to play Martha Stewart to their Jack Welch. Oh hell, yeah. I want them to imagine sitting around my table, being served an amazing meal, dealing with whatever issues they would have taken to a restaurant. It’s pleasant and warm and friendly at my house, and every one of the senior management team would rather be in my home than sitting in a hotel conference room.

Ooooh, the "hate". It burns, doesn't it Greg? Because, ovaries. Including yours.

What gets me the most, is how that bunch are all compulsive liars. Anything to make them a victim in others' eyes. 120 hate tweets! Stupid, stupid, retarded Laden. He didn't even realize that people (even blocked ones) can do a search for items with his name, like "@gregladen". 4 or 5 disagreeing tweets do NOT equal 120 hate tweets. That's an exaggeration of at least 2400%.

But that's part of their New Douchebag Media game, I guess? They don't agree to play by the rules of honesty that most others prefer, and which most others use by default. Still, it blows my mind that they lie to the extent that they do, and they tell so many lies, even when they don't need to.

Hmmm... what kind of flowers would be appropriate for Laden?

A bouquet of the following:
-----Weeping Willow branches, symbolic of all the weeping caused by the delusion of getting 120 hate tweets in that particular 24 hr period.
-----Carnations, just because they are grim and funereal, plus they have a shallow, unlikeable smell, much like Laden's personality.
-----Poison Ivy, in hopes he'll stick his face into the bouquet to smell the above mentioned grim carnations.
-----Stinging Nettles, very fresh, also in hopes he'll stick his face into the bouquet to smell the above mentioned grim carnations.

Place the above in a vase filled with stagnant pond water, from any area with lots of mosquitoes and dengue fever.

You have even gone so far in what I must presume to be teh quest for teh ultimate stupid to even leaving your comments section public - which means that anyone with an FB account can leave replies to your posts.

Greg Laden's FB page is here: http://www.facebook.com/laden.greg?ref=ts&fref=ts You need to be logged in to your FB account if you fancy leaving Greg any messages on his very public Facebook page. Doesn't have to be a genuine account, of course...

Yeah, Daniel Waddell is correct. I have been sticking up for Greg, pretty much everywhere - including ReapSowRadio. I've been promoting his science blog (when it has to do with science), too.

Wait! Abbie has been doing genetic engineering in her copious spare time when she's not curing AIDs and we have winged monkeys now?

Skep tickle wrote:and more people heard about him doxxing Mykeru's ex-wife.

I don't think it's quite fair to say he intentionally doxed her, because not only is that info seven years old, but he even got the number of our condo wrong. It was 102, not 301.

The best you can say is he stupidly posted an address I used to live at, last habitated by my ex-wife, with indifference to who actually lived there.

Actually the extent to which he can take any credit for doxing is also disputable. He just found some links of other people who did the actual doxing back in 2005. They are the ones who said things like "we also have information on your wife, but we would never release that, oh no, no, not us because we are doxers with integrity".

And I'm not too worried about her. Not only does she work in an international law firm and has international connections, but she's tough as nails, a survivor of colon cancer and her family has money and high ranking members of the People's Liberation Army.

She's the last person anyone feigning even marginal sanity should fuck with. Good luck with your people trying to extradite the person in the Red Chinese army who stuffs you in an oil drum. Just kidding, in reality, you'll have lawyers three deep in your ass.

However, I do not have, nor will ever have anything bad to say about my ex-wife. She comes from a small town in China, willed herself through Beijing University and got her MA at Johns Hopkins. She was raised by her grandparents as her mother was often less than kind to her, to say the least, and is one of the sweetest, kindest, most ruthless people you ever will meet.

We had a completely amicable divorce where we divided assets and she bought out my part of the condo. She didn't request alimony or lay any blame. The terrible thing about divorce, which I spend many a night perched on a barstool thinking about, is at the end you don't miss the person so much as the promise of what could have been. The months after, maybe years, I felt like I was living in an alternate reality while some parallel universe version of me was happily married.

My ex is a completely stand up person, and really is just the sort of intuitive equity feminist that probably screwed up my ability to deal with whiny middle class white women's first world problems for the rest of my life.

I will say the same thing I said back in 2005 when we were still married: Anyone fucks with her because they disagree with me on the internet and they will get my complete and undivided attention.

I am just appalled I have to say that, or say that doxing an address (the wrong one, by the way) because someone disagreed with you in an internet fight is just not the sort of thing one would expect a supposedly well-regarded (in his dreams) 54 year-old academic to do.

As I said, obviously Laden thought he could push the same buttons people pushed back then. The problem with that, of course, is that Greg Laden is an utter joke who no one takes seriously and who I hope never shuts the fuck up and continues to pull his fellow nutcases down with him.

Which makes me wonder either just how much of Greg Laden's CV is fraudulent, or just how fucked the wiring in his head has become.

None of this means that we should not, in proper Welch fashion, totally fuck with Greg Laden simply for the endless lulz.

Mykeru:

at the end you don't miss the person so much as the promise of what could have been.

Sorry to say, old pal, but this was beautifuly put.

Greg Laden tries his hand at social engineering.
This will not end well for him.
Again.

What I don't understand is that since the victim feminists are so scared of "Creepy Guys" why it is that this Greg Laden character is not considered a threat to them. Apart from his obviously disturbing behaviour, stalking, threatening people with violence, he's not exactly the most elegant looking individual, in fact could be easily described as looking "creepy".

An atheist swipes at FtB and the rift they have created (without naming names):

When I asked to be considered for inclusion in one of the blog networks, I was asked how I felt about the rift between that network and another one because they wanted to know where I stand. I responded that I had friends in both networks and I could give two fucks about the spew.

I know more than a few atheists that want no part of the entire enterprise any longer. I am losing interest in atheist activism, myself and can find little motivation to do much more than make swipes at religion and the way that it affects society. Beyond this, I want to do little else; because I am finally starting to see that it is not religion that makes society shitty. It is people.

It has never been just religion It has always been dogma and our emotional clinging onto dogma. This is why being a freethinker is difficult for some as learning to think with the grey matter not the pineal gland is very hard for NTs. Though they can with training.

As an aside, that 150 hate tweet thing that Greg Laden refers to is not just @ replies. He tracks his name being mentioned as well. Something I found out when I used his name rather than his nick. Kinda speaks to his ego.

No. It's fine. We all take some of the blame here. I think you'll find that there is still a lot of anger left among the denizens here from being bullied or made to look like a fool elsewhere. Personally I think it is counter productive to take shots at anyone and try not to do so myself. I do enjoy the free exchange of ideas here and the fact there is pretty much no censorship. In recent history someone posted child porn which was as immediately removed as possible, a couple of misguided posts were retired upon request of the poster but that's about it.

If you have any great ideas on how we can reconcile, I'd personally love to hear them. There is even a subthread elsewhere about reconciliation. Please feel free, without doxing, without censorship, without your words de-vowled without cherry picking of what you said.

Go for it.

Tuibguy wrote:Don't be fucking smug here. I was taking a swipe at this cesspool, too.

It's not being smug. We're not the ones trying to take over the atheist movement. We're not the ones trying to infect it with virulent feminism. We're not the ones trying to undermine the very meaning of the word "skepticism". Hell, if it weren't for the FtB/Skepchick/A+ crowd doing all that, there would be no "rift" and this place wouldn't even exist. This place, whatever you think of it, is the largest gathering place on the web pointing out all the bad things those assholes are doing to the A/S community. I'd love it if there were no need for this place, but unfortunately there is.

The 4 or 5 that he claimed were 120, were only in the 24 hrs up to his "120" post. So, that one was a lie. Now though, that he's pissed more people off with his letter threatening to dox or expose something about Abbie, he's now getting his wished for larger number of disagreement tweets. He can't claim that any of the newer ones were part of that original "120" claim. Well, actually, he COULD claim it, but it would be yet another lie.
