This is going to be amazing. There already some posts and comments up that I'm having difficulty calling as either real or Poe. And I flatter myself as being a pretty good Poe writer and detector.

Now, I'm just waiting for Meyers and the other big names (middle-class white folk every one of them) to put their balls in the blender and actually give Jen some support by posting on her website. Because at the moment it's all just empty words, spoken/written through tightly clenched teeth/fingers.

Come on, Meyers: help the gal out before her boyfriend realizes in 6 months how much this website is costing them and tells her to get the fuck off the internet RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Then logically, women's rights are an intrinsic part of men's rights. Ooops, no, we can't have that. That's uncomfortably close to humanism, and as has been repeatedly femsplained to us, atheism+ isn't humanism!

Atheism+? Kinda like humanism, but we gals take care of the men's rights too. Don't worry guys, you can trust us.

Civility guidelines are not an excuse for bad behaviour: The above rules are guidelines for dealing with the majority of cases. They are not absolute laws, and they are certainly not excuses to hide behind. If there is no reasonable explanation for a post besides malice, then it is not necessary to pretend otherwise. If someone endlessly brings up the same refuted argument in multiple threads, then engaging them straight away may be justified. If someone with an atrocious reputation from elsewhere asks slippery but plausibly innocent questions, then it may be reasonable to assume dishonesty.
(my bolding) - in fact, it may even be reasonable to assume dishonesty even before the slippery but plausibly innocent questions have been asked, eh Jen! :lol:

I'm not banking on it - with that amount of rules and regs, people there are liable to err on the side of caution when it comes to humour. Still, I'd concede there are plenty of unintentional lulz to come from that forum, as we've already seen.

Don't dismiss people's problems by appealing to greater problems: For almost every problem, it is possible to find a substantially worse problem. This should not be used, however, to dismiss the original problem. For example, the plight of women under the Taliban is absolutely dreadful, but this doesn't mean that any problem faced by a western woman is trivial.

This should not be used, however, to dismiss the original problem. For example, the plight of women under the Taliban is absolutely dreadful, but this doesn't mean that any problem faced by a western woman is trivial.
And talk about a loaded fucking statement:
Don't change the topic to less severe problems: If a particular problem is being discussed, it is dismissive to generalise this into a conversation about less severe problems. Such problems may also be very important, but they should be discussed elsewhere. For example, a discussion about female genital mutilation should not degenerate into a debate about the morality of male circumcision.

Lets expand on Myers analogy, this party is the atheist party, and fine myers and his morons go off to the library for their circle jerk because they don't appreciate socialising with the unclean, but can they stay in the fucking library? No. The bastards start whining to the host about all the horrible people who are at the party wanting them kicked out, in order to make it a nicer party, start threatening the host that they'll ruin the party if their demands for a nicer party aren't met, they start demanding the other attendees keep the noise down, they are all in fancy dress, and think everyone else should be in fancy dress. They are told the fancy dress party is in the house down the road, and really if they don't like the party they should fuck off to it, but they insist all partys should be fancy dress.
I can imagine Jen dressed in a My Little Pony costume (carrying a weapon, of course - http://freethoughtblogs.com/lousycanuck ... pocalypse/),
a few of the other women dressed as some "girl power" cartoons, a few as Surly-Ramics pendants to show their support for Amy, others with the cosplay outfit they bought for Comic-Con, but of course nothing that sexualizes women:
”... it’s troubling that with boundless opportunities for playful dress, most women at conventions end up as “variations of pin-up girl.” ...

One reason the sexualized objectification of women in cosplay cannot be easily written off with be-whoever-you-want-to-be or dress-however-you-want-to-dress mantras is that sexual harassment of women cosplayers at cons is rampant. While all people should be able to dress as they wish without fear of sexual harassment or violence, the longstanding tactic of using the women’s bodies as commodified objects at cons creates an atmosphere in which real-life women are treated as if they are comic book characters ripe for the handling. Disturbingly misogynistic blogs featuring galleries of women cosplayers further illustrate this way of thinking.

This attitude is no doubt amplified by the omnipresence of paid cosplayers. Scantily clad, often very young women (and even girls) acting as “bodies for hire” were everywhere amongst the throngs of people, passing out ads or serving as human advertisements for upcoming films. What almost naked women with fake torpedo breasts have to do with films such as the forthcoming Total Recall is unclear. Here and elsewhere, the marketing tactic seemed to be “use hot women to lure people in, regardless of what we are trying to sell.”

One thing that struck me over the course of the weekend is how quickly it starts to feel “normal” to see women’s bodies on fetishized display. If I, a card-carrying feminist, become somewhat immune over the course of four days, what does the constant onslaught of female sexual objectification in the wider culture do to people over years?"
http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2011/07 ... comic-con/

well, except for the other skepchicks, who will be there wearing their matching sexy/slutty nurse costumes, and handing out shots in penis-shaped glasses. (franc has the link to the video)

Perhaps Sally and Spokesgay will volunteer to arrive early in order to put up streamers and set out the plastic cups for the the Kool-Aid that will available in punch bowls .

Becci can dress as the Queen Bee, and hold the lead attached to a collar that PZ will be wearing that says "emasculated and proud"

and they can all whine and rage in regards to manufactured fear of Slyme Pitters showing up uninvited, while staring at the other library patrons with contempt, because their victim paranoia leads them to believe a number of them are undercover misogynists who are there simply to sexually harass them during their little costume party at the library.

PZ: "

I am a firm believer in dismissing relatively minor (especially WAH SOMEONE CALLED ME A CUNT) problems on account of worse problems existing.

Whether you accept the principles of mainstream economics or not (for the record, I don't), all introductory economics courses start with a very obvious truth: desires, at least compared to the means available to achieve them, are effectively infinite. This means you have to prioritize.

So, no, I don't take much stock in this WHALE JUST BCUZ WOMYN ARE HAVING ACID THROWN IN THEIR FACES DOESN'T MEAN [latest minor headache] IS TRIVIAL.

For example, a discussion about female genital mutilation should not degenerate into a debate about the morality of male circumcision.
(My bolds).
Ha! Talk about framing.

And how can they put write both "Don't dismiss people's problems by appealing to greater problems" and "Don't change the topic to less severe problems" and not see the inconsistency?!

Don't ever feel the need to explain your 'what am I doingness'. Whenever that question has been thrown my way there has always been a hook in the bait.

Generally speaking, I just don't bother dealing with FfTB smuggots and their ilk anymore.

Bottom line is I'll be getting shit done (when I'm good and ready—a lot of preparation is involved in my case); they'll be jerking off until the coffin dips...

I laugh at all those people overseas, who have never had a bacon and brown sauce sandwich.
brown sauce, yum. That and Branston Pickle are a bit easier to find here in full size, and the price is not insolent, as it is for Marmite.

There is one of those mini Tesco's a few blocks away from me, they carry brown sauce in the regular 255g bottle for a reasonable US price, and they carry 360g Branston Pickle for a reasonable price as well. The only Marmite they stock is the miniature, which would be just about enough for a few slices of toast, and they charge something like $7.50. It is easier to buy illegal drugs for a good price here.

Oh, Greta you dumb cunt. Why do you spoil everything for us by making it so easy to mock you as to quote an entire paragraph of your support for A+theism:
And there’s a General Chat section on the Forum, to talk about whatever you wan with others who share the values of Atheism Plus. Cats, skeet shooting, Project Runway… whatever.
...and pink things, and tiaras, and Robert Pattinson, and diamonds, and rainbows and such.

There's nothing new under the recreational drug-sun that the Butthole Surfers haven't tried.

And a lot of hardcore punk is fucking horrible ... some of the reasons for that are described in The Decline of Western Civilization.

"Didn't know how to play their instruments" applied to the Germs, for example. I think poor Darby Crash died without ever learning.
I'd rather see a band that can't play but tries than virtuosos going through the motions.

Slugfuckers. 666% awesome.

I'm going to pull a SulryAmy and cry that their attempt to create a A+theism forum is harassment against us, because we had the idea first. Theirs is a fake forum! A fake forum I say!!! We are the only ones who can have a legit forum in this discussion, because...reasons and shit...also my feeling. Why are they harassing us like this by making this obviously fake jewelry forum? :evil: :evil: :evil:

Also, won't the existence of an A+theism site/forum make the FC5's FtB blogs redundant, since they're going to be covering pretty much the same topics on both?

Imagine a great big party with a lot of diverse attitudes present, and you discover that a few of the invited attendees are horrifying drama prone wankers who wander about calling everyone "misoginists/racists/douchebags/white supremacists/gender traitors/dicks/retards" and telling women to stop acting like they're capable human beings. Also they're absolutely intolerable. We're the segment of the party that's stayed in the main room and quietly, quietly boarded up the door of the library behind the wankers...

Okay, I just clicked a link on twitter and found myself on FtB against my will... but what I saw when I got there was pretty fucking awesome.

This does not mean you, personally, have to go knocking on doors in ethnic neighborhoods or start attending local NOW meetings.
