I think I'm developing a twitch whenever I catch $urly Amy referring to her hobby as 'art' - the same kind of twitch that Dreyfus reserved for Inspector Closeau in the Pink Panther films.

"Give me 10 people like $urly Amy and I could conquer the world!!"

RIP Herbert Lom...

I made the mistake of watching the "Skepticism and the Humanities" video on Jrefs youtube channel. I got full blown tourettes now

I had to look, didn't I. Curse me, but I had to look...

$urly Amy Davis Roth has dead eyes. Like a doll's eyes...

Count in another skepchick who creeps me out...

Greg Laden:

I would like to TAP your ass

There, fixed that for you.

[John Greg]

Ah, yes, okay.

Apparently, according to Ophelia Delores Umbridge Benson-and-Hedges,

... deleting troll comments is not 'memory-holing' them.

Why, you may ask. Well, it's not memory-holing them because ...

They’re not historical documents.

And...

We have more than enough evidence of trolling, there’s no need to archive every single example.

"Not historical documents."

Sheesh.

link: http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... ent-310346

And, for the record:

his·tor·i·cal (h-stôr-kl, -str-) adj.
1.a. Of or relating to the character of history. b. Based on or concerned with events in history. c. Used in the past: historical costumes; historical weapons.
2. Important or famous in history. See Usage Note at historic.
3. Diachronic.

di·a·chron·ic (d-krnk) adj.
Of or concerned with phenomena, such as linguistic features, as they change through time.

So, in point of fact, many of the posts that get memory-holed are in fact both historical and diachronic. They certainly might not be important historical documents, but that's up to the interpretor of view anyway.

Gack, I really hate it when people like Umbridge, and those other vile cow-clowns like InSvanity and Toiletbowl, try to post explanations of language, diction, grammar, and so on, when they probably couldn't pass a college-level English entrance exam.

Altair actually alluded to the A+ forum incident in his post. I couldn't resist.

Doh! I should have caught that. My apologies.

The A+ guys are beyond Poe's Law, and the craziest part is that the moderators are the ones who seem to be the most hostile and aggressive there.

Oh, and I managed to catch JayTeeAitch's sarcasm, so no hard feelings at all.

If you don't like cats, fuck off t'internet!

[Rystefn]

Do you have an unwanted infestation of rodents or small birds? No? Then what the fuck do you want a cat for?

...well, besides buying "feeder finches" and the local pet store, telling them why you buy three or four small birds every week and watching the horror dawn on their faces. Actually, that works pretty well for feeder rats, too. For some fucking reason, people who are perfectly fine with you feeding live rats to a snake lose their shit at the idea of feeding the same rats to a cat.

[Sulaco]

Then what the fuck do you want a cat for?

I have a gator problem.

[windy]

It seems to me that this whole idea about controlling language to control thinking and indirectly, behavior, is quite common in academia and social sciences where there is a traditional leftist leaning. I once studied to become a teacher, and there was a heavy focus on language, both in the pure pedagogy classes and in the mandatory gender studies classes.

Was the material anything like the legendary "Genus och text"?

ps. Gretas trigger-woes considering her BDSM erotica is quite hilarious. You'd think that people who have problem with BDSM erotica simply wouldn't buy a book containing BDSM stories... but I guess that would take the capability of being responsible for your own actions?

Nah, we need warning labels on books!

Attacks on Scott and I


Guilty until proven innocent! ...and the typical nonsense strawman "sexism isn't the problem talking about it is" which reeks of asserting something that is in question or otherwise disputed without actually providing reasons why this is the case - par for the course from the A+/FTB crowd

Staks says some kind words about me, gets attacked - WOTW comes back up





Same stuff...and what reeks to be demands of proving a negative or something absurd - We won't believe the non-controversial idea that you stand for equality until we see your actions...because, of course, you know, Schrodinger's misogynist and all. You're with us or you hate women!!11one

LOL. Given that she's learning her science from DVDs and podcasts, you cannot expect too much from her. This is not SA but is related to that whole "intersection between art and science" bullshit discourse.

I'm more concerned with the "what's the problem with rape" from "Commensense" - troll, poe, or what?

But really, Nanny Phee - get out in the real world more. It has things like dead rats, and hobos, and smells, and all the glorious trials of a non-sterile sheltered world. That was worth a blog post? How desperate for traffic is she?

[Pitchguest]

What is with these people and their prediliction for drama? Was it really necessary to ask such a leading, obviously shit-stirring question at the moment of Scott Rhoades' announcement as the new co-chair? Then for their many complaints about derailing discussions, Adam Lee stirs the pot some more. I really don't like these people.

[acathode]

Was the material anything like the legendary "Genus och text"?

A bit similar, one of our textbooks was this one. Obviously the jargon was the same, and the ideas, but it didn't go into quite so crazy areas as that...

Though, it got me rather pissed of at one point, when one of the authors discuss the recent development with girls and women doing better in school/universities than boys and men. It turned into half a chapter of pointing out how women in developing countries have it worse, that it's hypocritical since no one cared when the girls had it worse during the 50s, and that the real problem is just patriarchy and aged views of masculinity anyway. Basically, the clear message as, you're a bit of a asshole if you care about this, and if you still care about it, it's the patriarchy's and bad views on masculinity that is the reason (this also causes men's violence against women!!! yes, they managed to sneak that in there too).

Actually kinda funny when our class were doing the gender/feminism stuff, I knew what was coming since I was fairly familiar with the more crazy kind of academia feminism since earlier, but my female classmates (we were 2 guys and around 10-15 women) actually reacted to it all and expressed their sympathies, along the lines of "these courses gotta suck for you, they are really pointing the finger and blaming it all on the males, aren't they?".

Just for the record, so that no one get the wrong ideas, I'm not a MRA (though I see why some people are), nor am I completely anti-feminism, they've managed to get a lot of good things done. I'm just not very fond of the bat shit insane kind of feminism you find in academia and art journalism, ie. the kind that can openly praise the SCUM manifest in national media, and makes the Swedish Research Council give a $100,000 research grant to a 3-year project named "The trumpet as a gender-symbol".

ps. A question about art journalists, is it the same international? Swedish art journalists are, in general, feminist Marxists that have 1-2 pages in any paper where spend just as much time writing about communism/socialism, feminism, racism, and pretty much anything that strikes their fancy, as they do actually reviewing art. Not that I'm complaining to much, it's awesome entertainment sometimes, like when one of them made the case that the Smurf village was basically a ideal communist state. But still, I'd like to know, is it the same thing in other countries, or is this a Swedish phenomena?

The smurf village? The home of the 1 female to however many male smurfs there were? I can see Papa Smurf as Papa Fidel, but...wtf? Of course, from what I heard on a trivia game, Smurfette was created by Gargamel to destroy them somehow, so that would mean the smurfs are an all-male race.

Ahhh grasshopper, are you really asserting that the pyt is mysoginist? If so please provide evidence . To be a pytter is not synonymous with hating all things ftb. It is to hate hypocracy, dogma, quashing of dissent, bad arguments, and radical ideologues attempting to hijack movements to serve their own political ends.

Oolon if you can get it through your head that we are not all the same, that yes some on here are still very angry at the bullying PZ and his crowd have done, and it's not a cesspool of misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, if it was I would not be here. Have you read any criticisms of PZ from John Loftus ? Or even Thunderfoot? What are you here to do?

This is a basic failure of all of those that do not comprehend the "resistance". They cannot shake themselves from the concept that there are "sides". It is essentially a dualist, or Manichean, mindset. It shows that no matter how much they may claim to be godless, they have not freed themselves from religious thinking. I am not on anyone's "side". I just despise destructive personality cults, which to me are indistinguishable from religion, and are essentially all that FfTB is - a cult that worships egos. I don't care if you're Tom Cruise, Pope Ratboy or PZ Myers. My reasons for detesting you are the same.

"Genetic determinism! Genetic determinism! Ack! Polly want a cracker!"

Doncha know that such capabilities are entirely social constructions and that sufficient resources in education – and re-education – facilities will do the trick?

But generally I agree with at least the principle you suggest – devil in the details and all that. Someone said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation and by which one might argue that there are far too many resources spent on the military that might be better spent on developing better parenting skills – and better parents.

No. I don’t understand it either.

What did I do? Hm. I objected to Justicar’s use of “Twatson.” I objected when Miranda greeted the announcement of the Women in Secularism Conference with the insulting remark that she would hate to be invited to a conference just because she had “the appropriate genitalia.” I objected when Abbie Smith said that PZ was “chasing smelly skepchick snatch.” I obected to the torrent of misogynistic crap that kept piling up on Abbie Smith’s blog. I objected when Russell Blackford commented at Abbie Smith’s blog to say “Naughty Abbie!” as if it were all a big joke. And so on. Basically just lots of objecting to misogynistic shit, with specifics.

That place is not a debate forum. It's supposed to be a haven away from having their self-worth as human beings questioned. If they start allowing those kinds of debates there, then it ceases to serve its purpose, and becomes just like all those other places they are trying to get away from.

Rayshul's quote made me think about this quote, and about these people's feelings that the rest of the world somehow considers them less than human. There is discrimination out there, but I think a level of discrimination bad enough to make someone feel like they're not fully human is extremely rare.

I think some people just are on edge and ready to take offence at anything. They get a weird kick out of it. Being offended en masse is great fun, it seems...

That guy is a little bitch.

I agree with your assessment of Adam Lee. He gives me the same reaction I get to Laden, oddly. Mouth puke. Just not someone I would ever want to encounter IRL in any circumstance.

I was doing ok until she compared how she does Art to the scientific method - ending with when it goes up on her website its like putting it up for peer review.

I've never been the same since

As the residential art student, I feel obligated to chime in with my thorough and educated analysis:

No. Just....fucking NO.

I haven't been an art student in many years (I did go to the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow School for the Creative and Performing Arts, though), but... holy shit, what is wrong with her? I mean... what the fucking fuck? What the everloving fuck? Is my brain bleeding? It feels like my brain is bleeding...

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Cargo Cultist:

"Artists and scientists are very similar in their process when they are trying to come up with something new or make a new discovery. An artist comes up with a hypothesis as to what their next piece of art might be. They gather data or supplies from what is available to them. They experiment and make a detailed analysis of those supplies, combining them in new ways to produce more data and finally a piece of art. They then come to conclusions as to whether the art is acceptable or complete. Finally that art is released into the world to be peer reviewed by an audience of consumers or other artists. While not necessarily as strict of an interpretation as in the sciences, it still illustrates the similarities of the creative process that is used in both fields."

I am being serious for this post:
It is no wonder, (to me at least), that the obviously well-meaning but very naïve Jen is suffering from depression.

I contend that it is a curious transferred form of metaphorical post-natal depression.

Her joy at the birth of her bouncing baby A+Theism Logo, (father unknown, but suspected to be a small town Ass Prof) has proven to be an abject failure by any account, and subject of intense world-wide mockery.

They say that our Great Ideas are our offspring, (males have these possessive drives as well), and that we take it very personally when our magna opera are criticised, even rightly, as though they were somehow our mental children.

So, have a care to at least understand her transferred grief, no matter how "silly" you may think it of her.

Another stat of interest to me is the number of users who post with their real-world name.

FFS I’ve seen a couple over there seriously suggesting that the ‘@SamanthaBoals’ troll really might be Rebecca Watsons friend! No depths of stupidity are too deep when you hate your foes

http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterflies ... ent-310504

And you wonder why people have you on "ignore"? ...

That was enough to put him on my ignore list.

I hope you didn’t do that because Lsuoma was threatening to do that to you because you were responding to oolon.

Because in one sense at least I think he was entirely correct: several here – Scented Nectar and Renee Hendricks – did in fact suggest, in effect at least, that “the ‘@SamanthaBoals’ troll really might be Rebecca Watsons friend” – at least in the sense that sockpuppets tend to be used by friends to support the arguments of their friends or by individuals in support of themselves:

But in another sense I think oolon is seriously out to lunch in his conclusion that “no depths of stupidity are too deep …” [generally an open question otherwise] since Scented Nectar was obviously not prepared to give much credence to the efforts of the supposed “friend” of Watson’s to discredit both Watson and Myers with some apparently highly specious and spurious if not, as SN suggested, totally irrelevant gossip.

And actually oolon, it was your nemesis PZM who leaped, simply from the single acknowledged shakey and entirely hypothetical case of the “sock” described by SN, to the conclusion, accusation and premise that it is Pit dogma or an article of faith that:

So for years and years, Rebecca Watson’s bestest friends have been cobbling up sock puppet accounts to send her hate mail.

Seems to me that you [oolon] – and PZM – might want to delve into the details a little more closely before making such sweeping conclusions ….

Well, science, as well as mathematics, and art are both creative endeavors. The same psychopathological traits would appear to undergird all these disciplines—even though art in principle allows more divergent thinking (i.e. you don't have to follow as many rules, if any), it should be noted that even the most rule-driven technical domains have seen their fair share of lunatics: Georg Cantor died in a sanitarium, Bertrand Russell lived in fear of going mad like his relatives did, Kurt Gödel starved to death out of belief that all food was poisoned, and of course we can't forget this guy either:



That being said, Surly Amy's analogy, art as a form of hypothetico-deductive inference, is very strange. Because the idea that enters your head isn't an induction or abduction which you are trying to test. It should have the inspired character of a sudden, sharp abduction but it isn't an explanation or a prediction. It's "hey, why don't I do this and see what comes of it?", that's all. And the stuff you gather isn't "evidence" (or, in the H-D model, potential counterevidence), it's just fucking supplies. And finally, at least in my opinion, making art shouldn't fundamentally be about seeking approval from others (re: the "peer review" part of her analogy). It should be about I'm doing this because fuck you, that's why.

In short, it's amusing the level of skill these retards expect of their opponents while they fawn over turds like Sulky Amy.
