I'm sure there is some kind of record when something is expunged or dismissed. The events are chronicled somewhere, they just don't count against you legally. Think of the Duke Lacrosse guys. There must be a record somewhere that they were charged for a gang rape that never happened, but it isn't "on their record." You can pay money to terrible companies online to see how many traffic tickets your neighbor has received, so I'm sure there is some commemoration of Click's assault charge that resulted from the assault she committed, but if Click manages to avoid violating the law and her sacred duty as a teacher, then it just won't matter.dogen wrote:

Dr Richard Carrier PhD can't seem to stop claiming his book was published by the "University of Sheffield" 4:17 of the audio.Tigzy wrote:Gawd damn, you just have to read Dicky's latest. It's - well, it's quite something.
Essentially it's a puff piece about, in Dicky's own words, 'a groovy new podcast'. However, it should be said that this hep n jivin new podcast is helmed by his brother in law. Now, you may think that would be the extent of Dicky's nepotism, but remember - this is Dicky we're talking about here. Now, in terms of familial relations, who else do you think Dicky would offer a flattering puff to? And remember, he has a lot of form in this respect.
That's right - Dicky himself!
And boy oh boy there certainly is so much more, daddy-o - so much more about Dicky, that is:My brother in law, Brian Parra, has launched a groovy new podcast, There Is No Time to Explain. And I was his first interview subject (episode 1). It’s an example of my favorite kind of podcast [well, it is about you Dicky - Tigz], where we both chat about all kinds of things that mostly aren’t the usual things I’m talking about over and over. [you mean you don't usually talk about yourself? lol - Tigz]
As Brian describes the episode, “we talk about [Richard’s] life as a freelance historian and traveling author and then our conversation turns to the idea that we wage war very differently depending on our cultural ideas.” But boy is there so much more!
Yes. A prominent feature in this podcast is about an obscure remark Dicky once made. Naturally enough, he elaborates:The first part is a lot about making a living as an independent artist. Then we get to what he asked me on to talk about, which was an obscure remark I made on another awesome podcast, the MABOOM show (I think this episode, which is my favorite of the three I did with them), about how national cultural values might be reflected in the design of our battletanks.
So the obscure remark he once made becomes the lynchpin of the show, no less. But then - it gets worse. You won't believe it but it does! Look at this. Look at this shite:I’ve had so many people ask me about that, since on MABOOM I just mentioned it and moved on without explaining because we had to get back on topic. Well, Brian got the chance to ask me about it on his show, and it becomes the linchpin launching the rest of the show, inspiring us to talk about many other aspects of how differences in culture change how people think about war, bravery, even suicide. Many points come up relati - blah, blah, friggin blah
Holy shit! Dicky actually goes nigh-on 'hey-I-was-involved-in-secret-military-ops-you-guys' militard. However, Dicky has a disclaimer for all those chuds who might harbour some doubt that this pencil-necked little bug dweeb might not be cut out for these Navy SEAL type heroics:blah blah...one thing that he eggs out of me is one of my least-told sea stories from the Coast Guard, about how we broke the law (well, civil law anyway) for the good of our country [...] it’s about how we said fuck you to the military industrial complex by disregarding a graft-ridden contract to do what’s right under cover of night. Of course officially that never really happened.
It goes on - and finally, his brother in law gets a look in:Oh no. I am totally making it all up just to impress the ladies. Yeah. That’s the ticket.
...wait for it...But then this episode ends with a special segment Brian intends to close every episode with,
So it's all about Dicky again. Hey Brian - nice to glimpse you there.which is having his guest do something weird from a list of weird things he has, and the one I chose from his list was “obscure movie review.” I give a brief review of the excellent but definitely obscure silent film The Call of Cthulhu (produced in 2005).
But all that's not the funniest bit. No. Because Dicky has some disclaimers to make:
BWAAAAH! :lol: :lol:Corrections to note: On the Historicity of Jesus was published at the University of Sheffield (the peer reviewed [the fucker just cannot resist, can he - Tigz] publishing company is an independent entity but run by Sheffield faculty on the Sheffield campus).
HOLY SHIT YOU FUCKING COCK! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:Following Brian’s lead in the heat of conversation we didn’t notice we said Bonzai pilots when we meant Kamikaze pilots.
Bloody hell...anyways, Dicky's intellectual robustness aside, he makes a few more disclaimers, and finishes with this:
No 'in case' about it Dicky, considering at the very start of this load of old toot you claimed it was 'a groovy new podcast, ya...dick.Also, in case it isn’t obvious, this show was recorded a couple years ago, when I was still married.
Anyways, that's pretty much all of it. Here's the archive link, as I'm sure plenty here will need confirmation that it's real: http://web.archive.org/web/201601300100 ... hives/9562

Looking at your sig -- did he really write bonzai? Then he's wrong again. The battle cry was BANZAI (all caps because it's always bellowed). Which, of course, isn't a a suicide pilot. Or even a tree. The one time he doesn't get his shit peer-reviewed, he fucks up :lol:
Yeah, a little tree ornament sized Carrier BANZAIing his plane into Davis Aurini's head or something sounds like fun :D

So Carrier is clearly either an uneducated moron who didn't learn basic twentieth century history in fourth grade or he's a racist.
I hope he'll let us know which one he is.

That sounds plausible. All decisions that have been made in the skeptic community since 2012 have been made in hopes of getting a blumpkin from Beckybooze.

I have a mental picture of Novella in a jet chasing the day/night shadow.
In practice I can see him under considerable pressure from the 'Normals' and yet unable to walk back their actions.

I wouldn't be surprised that the amount of negative feedback they got from cancelling Dawkins was larger than they got to remove Dawkins in the first place. Also I think a few of the more sane leaders in the Skepticism/Atheism movement probably had a word as well.Guest_84d94f98 wrote:On the late blog post by Steve Novella.
1. I think he has realized he has majorly stepped in it. And instead of avoiding controversey, he is now dead center in the middle of it all.
2. He could be attempting to contact Dawkins & his other board members to try and walk this back.
3. Dawkins handled NECSS's behavior with class.
Other considerations on the NECSS/Dawkins issue:
1. If any speaker at NECSS wishes to back out of the conference for any reason, all they have to do is retweet that video.
2. Online Feminists/SJWers now know that NECSS is vulerable to twitter outrage events. They can orchestrate the ouster of any speaker they do not like. Even if the speaker does not say something they can use, they can orchastrate a caniption fit over something.
3. All of the registered speakers are now aware they are under some unwritten rule that they must not piss off any feminists or else they will receive the Dawkins treatment at a moment's notice. I wouldn't want to be in that kind of a position for 9 months.
