I'm going to report him to his employer. Does anyone have the number for the U.S. Social Security office?
He's Canadian.
Evidence for this?

Everything I've stumbled across suggests he's US born & bred, for example: http://www.amazon.com/Greg-Laden/e/B009ROI5JI

Purveyors of false equivalency are mostly motivated by ego, namely, that everyone on either side of an issue is wrong and therefore they alone are right.

But hey, "teach the controversy" dude.

Um, if you're that disenchanted with both "sides", please tell me why the fuck you're hanging out here?
I'll take a guess and say he saw people from here checking out his blog post that I linked to.
If we can't take criticism ourselves, then this is all for naught.

Hmm, ok. Still. It seems as though the message was left to just further spur a divide, you know?

I have no problem with being criticized, it's an essential part of skepticism. What I do ask is that the criticism is fairly leveled.

From the whiny blog post s/h/it comes across like McWrong, oh! so disappointed that everyone's letting s/h/it down. Plus there's talk about money (presumably from clicks) so maybe income is dropping.

Yeah, look what you made him do. This is the logic of the kindergarten.

More recently, he's Twattled this evidence of his total irony bi-pass:

http://i.imgur.com/KMpPw.png

Which links to this bleat from a guy who - apparently - really doesn't know why atheists can't all get along because he likes everybody. The source of his confusion really lies in the fact that he thinks "activism" and "the blogosphere" are the same thing.

Well put. Make your case for criticism, be prepared to defend it. Keep in mind we may disagree with you and be hostile to you, but you will get a fair hearing without censorship. Did I mention we do not torture porcupines here either?

That's what I just linked to a few posts back, and why the author showed up to call us a cesspool. Fuck'im.

I would wonder just how long they have been following the Slymepit with that statement. Perish the thought that a true freethinker would be guilty of believing propaganda without investigating for themselves.

The FtB Twoof Squad doesn't want their ideas examined in an objective fashion, therefore they will never come here. They will always resort to their tactic of holding their noses and saying "Phew!" whenever the Pit is mentioned, because poisoning the well is the best way they have to keep people from realizing that the Pit makes a helluva lot of good points against them.
Did I mention we do not torture porcupines here either?
Haha. It's funny how when the Pit started ragging on their hypocritical porcupine bit, all of a sudden PZ declared that meme "passe".

What were you saying about all that vitriol being directed at fellow atheists again? :D

I got that you were not directing your post just at FtB, but you kind of undermine your point there by calling it a 'swipe'... Anyway, it's been a while since our paths have crossed, how have you been?

Yeah, that bothered me too. A lot of people have that Pit=cesspool mentality simply because of FtB propaganda. That's why so many people have come here and said "Hey, this place is nothing like PZ said..." It's definitely a lack of critical thinking when you let others define your opinions for you.

If you come here, read, get a sense of what the Pit is all about, and come to your own conclusion that this place is a cesspool, good for you. At least you did your homework. (and to be fair, maybe this "tuibguy" did just that). But there's a lot of people who have formed a sight-unseen opinion about this place just based on the proclamations of others. That kind of shit doesn't belong in anybody's skeptic toolbox.

AHHHhh.... That is classic Thunderf00t syndrome* from Tubiguy.

*Where somebody appears in the No-Man's-Land of the great divide and proudly proclaims their superiority of belonging to neither camp whilst offering advice and admonishments to either side.
2 weeks later they have become happily entrenched (on one side or the other) and are angrily firing off blogposts at the rate of 2 a day, telling the world how nasty the other side is.

I don't think that Thunderf00t had an "I am neutral therefore superior" mentality so much as that he was initially naive about the problems in this community (apart from knowing of some infighting) and therefore didn't anticipate the reaction to his "MISOGYNIST!!!" blog post by FtB denizens. To quote him from one of his videos: "I gotta admit, I had no idea how batshit crazy the subject of sexism will make some people act until I recently posted an article on the issue".

All the responses to the poster that Tigzy, hilariously in my opinion, refers to as Tubgirl (google for images if you don't know about this, but not at work, eh?) are no doubt just going to confirm him that we are indeed cesspoolers, but it has to be said that he was fucking dumb in the way he came in here with his arseholier than thou attitude.

Hey! I knew there was a reason for me to still like Justin Griffith: http://freethoughtblogs.com/rockbeyondb ... ine-rival/

For those who don't want to check the link, here's a bit from the post:
Seriously, WTF!? I don’t know much about ‘Mykeru’, and maybe he’s not a great guy. What could possibly excuse purposely leaking an actual home address of somebody you disagree with? Nothing. This is every kind of wrong.

Laden then went on to disclose Mykeru’s alleged employment information. Presumably, Greg Laden wants his twitter followers to contact Mykeru’s employers and co-workers. You know, right after some visit his (ex-wife’s old) house.

I’ve not linked directly to this information, but it’s too late to remove it from the internet. Coupled with his history of bullying, and his direct threats of violence towards me, we can safely label Laden as a serial-harasser. When he attempted to trigger my PTSD, I saw him for what he was. Initially, I had thought it was just a one-off, and perhaps he just ‘saw red’. This was the first time I did not immediately forward a threat to the FBI. He continued to harass me, encouraging my peers to join in. To their credit, most saw what was happening after a few days.

How are/were we supposedly being "smug", anyway? I don't know about anyone else but I clicked the link, read the first paragraph, realised it was a whining shitbag with nothing to contribute, and moved on. If ignoring his pathetic ramblings is "smug", then guilty as charged. Guy probably just wants attention.

Please, the guy's about as neutral as an acid bath. Read his blog post and check the assumptions:

Blogging = activism.

There is such a thing as "atheist activism" (yeah dude let's actively not believe in gods).

People disagreeing with each other on blogs makes him so sad he wants to just give up blogging, (Jen McWrong anyone) How do we know this? Because he blogged about it!

Everybody in every dispute is equally bad, especially when compared to his saintly self.

Then shows up here to take a pop he knows he's never get away with on FTB, A+ or Skepchicks. Wanker.

1) Tubgirl images :o

2) Link under "My Blogs and Collaboratives" at tuibguy's site goes to: http://opinionatedbastards.wordpress.com/ with photo of a bunch of speakers on a pole (one-way communication) :lol: whoops so much for kumbaya

3) Subheading under the title of tuibguy's blog: "Forget the sloppy writing. I know you know what I mean." Mmm, sloppiness & assumptions that others will understand you anyway. I see any claim of skepticism slipping away before my eyes. (Not that I see that he's claimed to be a skeptic. He says his "blog is ostensibly about science, atheism" and other stuff.)

4) First line of tuibguy's post http://tuibguy.com/?p=6943 reviewing Laden's book (from October 2012? I don't see a date) says "Now, in the interest of full disclosure I need to reveal first that Greg Laden is a friend of mine." Not that I would tar someone for his or her associations, but you do have to wonder whether someone with such an association is as neutral as he claims to be.

Seriously, WTF!? I don’t know much about ‘Mykeru’, and maybe he’s not a great guy. What could possibly excuse purposely leaking an actual home address of somebody you disagree with? Nothing. This is every kind of wrong.

Laden then went on to disclose Mykeru’s alleged employment information. Presumably, Greg Laden wants his twitter followers to contact Mykeru’s employers and co-workers. You know, right after some visit his (ex-wife’s old) house.

I’ve not linked directly to this information, but it’s too late to remove it from the internet. Coupled with his history of bullying, and his direct threats of violence towards me, we can safely label Laden as a serial-harasser. When he attempted to trigger my PTSD, I saw him for what he was. Initially, I had thought it was just a one-off, and perhaps he just ‘saw red’. This was the first time I did not immediately forward a threat to the FBI. He continued to harass me, encouraging my peers to join in. To their credit, most saw what was happening after a few days.
Holy Shit, Justin's sticking the boot into Greg there - excellent! That said, I reckon JG's days at FTB are definitely numbered now. That said pt 2, I don't think JG gives much in the way of a shit, considering how he's been treated there.

He just signed his FTB death warrent with that. I'm shocked that he stuck it out there as long as he has. He was very ill treated by the Countess Svan Zepplin and the pharyngulites.

Gotta love his sense of humor:
What possible explanation could people have to defend this person’s antics? Hard to say.

This. From Greg Laden (from Justin Griffith's link):
It is just that I am a very large, muscular man with martial arts training who never goes anywhere without my pit bull, and I always carry a gun. I am also famous for kicking ass, generally. Nobody will attack me.
http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2012/ ... ke-to-you/

Wait - what? He carries a gun everywhere? Is this the same imbecile who's been all about gun control recently?

And if he was really that tough, he wouldn't need to go anywhere with his pitbull.

What a sap.

Oh boy! Justin's days at FfTB could be numbered. A Baboon cult follower by the name of JackiePaper chimes in first post with:
How you get taken seriously by anyone is beyond me.
Aye, because senior Baboons like Greg Laden are above criticism from insiders and fellow FTB bloggers, aren't they! But hey, remember when Laden "victim-blamed" Justin? It will probably happen again, and the Baboons will now accuse Justin of pandering to the Slymers and giving us ammunition, rather than just admitting Laden is a loose cannon.

Are you trying to fulfil Justin's prophecy?
He wants to be quote-mined. He craves having a gotcha moment. He waits for somebody to post that quote without acknowledging his post’s cryptic last sentence. Paraphrased: ”Am I kidding? Hard to say.”

I wonder what the FTB response will be? The smart response would be to ignore it but these guys can't resist.

From Laden's blog:
So when the Slime Pitters or their kind, or the regulars over on Whats Up With That blog, take my comments out of context and attempt to bludgeon me with them, lie about what I’ve said or done, or threaten to kill me with their favorite Glock, it is something I’m a little used to.
Now, does anybody know if this actually happened? I've certainly never seen such a threat issued. Perhaps Greg could show us the evidence, and how it is related to the Slymers. Don't hold your breath, though.

Hi Boys 'n Girls!

Just a quick drop in and intro. I've long heard of the Slymepit but never ventured over (such horrible rumors about, oh my!) but decided to follow up on Mr. Stefanelli's general invite a few days back and have been lurking and reading to get a feel for the place.

I've gotta say I'm impressed. A bit rough around the edges, with a bit of an intellectual longshoreman's bar feel to the joint, but I find that - mixed with the apparent knives drawn unvarnished honesty - very refreshing, especially compared to the bullshit being passed of as 'skepticism' in way too much of the blogosphere these days.

Anyway - I don't have the time to post much and even just keeping up with the posts here is a bit of a stretch for me, but worth it for the entertaining commentary if nothing else. The thing that made me finally push the button and join the group was Mykeru's long post about his ex-wife which I just read.

Mykeru - I am a HUGE fan (albeit a quiet one) of your recent youtube video work. Really impressive stuff. That said, your post really elevated my (already high) opinion of you by several notches. Such honesty in a split relationship (been there, done that) is a rare bird indeed. Beautifully expressed.

Oh, and while I'm here getting used to all the new faces - Renee, sorry to read about your news, but it seems you have a good handle on it. Hope all turns out for the best.

That's enough bleeding heart verbiage from me. Carry on all, I need the lulz! :popcorn:

This is just as bad as Svan's "Jeff" analogy. Jackiepaper doesn't seem to realise that he is implying that Laden is guilty of what Justin is accusing him of, because Jackie simply attempts to justify his behaviour. Like all Baboons in this position, he deliberately conflates all criticism of Laden and the others with the trolls.

Anyhow, I think Justin will be summoned to the "backchannel" pronto, as soon as PZ hears about this, especially as a Slymer (Renee) has a post up in support of Justin. They won't like that!

It's possible that "gun" is Canadian slang for a large bag of donuts.

PZ has been refusing to talk to Justin G ever since he posted the threats Greg sent him. PZ shuns a person who exposes a real bully. Shows what a lowlife PZ is.

Hey, Zenspace! Welcome to the den of iniquity. Where we're all *obviously* misogynistic and just pure E-VILLL (ala Mermaid Man)! Thanks for the words re my guy. We're trying to be very humorous here because, as we all know, laughter is the best medicine ;)

LOL! Ok, so I'm following the comments on Justin's post and apparently I'm either a fanboy or a sock puppet. Not sure how the idiot (Bob Dog) came to that conclusion!

I took that tweet of his to be a jealous attack on Abbie. She's more man than he'll ever be. She DOES do martial arts, and she DOES have (a very cute and cuddly looking) pit bull. I don't know if she has a gun or not, but I suspect if they both had to walk through crime-ridden alleys and bad parts of towns, she'd come through without even a hair out of place, while Laden would be in some beaten and robbed heap before he'd get 10 feet ahead.
