I'm fairly sure that 'aspies' have roughly the same range of language to throw at people as 'neurotypicals'. Lets be honest here; Asperger's Syndrome is not a hugely debilitating condition. Suffers still have have easily enough mental capacity to be dicks to people.

The reason for all this seems to have been lost in this monolithic thread. Whats this guy done other than being pretentious?

That is indeed the way it looks right now. Once the DSM-5 is available then everyone will just have to say they've got 'mild autistic spectrum disorder'. Or perhaps pervasive-developmental-disorder-not-otherwise-specified (much more mysterious sounding) if their symptoms are a bit atypical.

Random Twitter annoyances--

1. So after McCreight went all 'WE TOTES NEED A LADY IRON CHEF!!!!' after she watched an episode of 'Next Iron Chef' and was therefore an expert (even though there already is an awesome but gay so not lady enough Iron Chef and arguments could be made for any of the other contestants being the next Iron Chef), Alex Guarnaschelli (lady Alex) won. McCreight couldnt bother to Tweet her 'Congratulations!!!'

The appearance of being 'feminist' is more important than supporting accomplished women, apparently.


2. Twatson, seeing as she only responds to trolls and not actual humans, still hasnt gotten around to explaining her Evolutionary Psychology abortion, but managed to find the time to insult a crude detractor on Twitter by calling them a virgin.

Its *weird* how focused Rebecca Watson is on S-E-X.

There is a long list of things I would call someone if I genuinely wanted to hurt their feelings. 'Virgin' isnt on that list. Not because it is SO OFFENSIVE but because its not even remotely offensive. We generally encourage young children to be virgins. In some cultures virgins are revered. Some people are very happy virgins by choice into adulthood, asexuals, aspies who do not fucking want to be touched, etc. Lots of lesbians these days live their entire lives without ever having hetero-sex and could, with a very specific definition, still be considered 'virgins'.

But 'virgin' is on the top of Watsons oh-so-enlightened list of insults for a poster she presumes is male, which she used to encourage traditional male stereotypes (HAVE LOTS OF SEXAH TIME OR U NO DOOOD!).

Rebecca Watson is so *WEIRD*.

Which is not at all true since Myers did not actually delete at least three posts from Skep Tickle /Skeptixx. And I informed you of that through a message on TBS and a post here plus a further message on TBS which I didn’t save but which included, I think, the required proof for those with limited skills in obtaining the “most trivial piece of information”. Not at all a case of “nit-picking trivia” to point out that Myers did not, in fact, “erase all traces of Skeptixx’s posts”. ...

I haven't been back to that thread since being banned, hadn't thought my posts were deleted, and now I'm a tad confused looking at the "Despise...feminism" thread at Pharyngula, which is said to have 1166 comments, but I'm only seeing #1001 on without a link to the older ones. (I think mine were in the 300's).

Not getting anything either w/ a search of "skeptixx" though a couple of people had used that 'nym in their post, while castigating me, including (come to think of it) PZ. But maybe their search function only searches the topic posts.

Do your own fucking work Steersman, you ass sucking parasite. As stated on TBS -

It’s not good enough to point out X is inadequate because of Y without actually getting up off your ass and supplying information and links to what Y is.

Somehow, you can find the time to screencap and link TBS, but you simply can't do the most rudimentary search anywhere else and instead demand people here do it for you - in this case, Skeptixx comments. Why not provide direct links? Why is that Steers? Surely a simple link is less work than a screencap and imgur upload link?

I'll tell you why. Because you are a professional derailer that tittilates himself by getting folks here to run around chasing shadows and doing all the work for you.

Why the whole 'pit doesn't have you set on "ignore" is beyond me.

There isn't a whole lot to distinguish from just being a socially awkward introvert. Since it is typically fairly mild (and gets milder with age and education) I've always considered the most important criteria in the DSM-4 to be whether or not it cause significant impairments in important areas of function (e.g. social or occupational). But there isn't really any sure-fire way to diagnose the mild cases since research into genetic causes is in its infancy (last I checked they were suggesting that up to 12 different genes on several different chromosomes were involved). Brain scans are nice and all that but no GP is going to refer a socially awkward person to a neurologist just to confirm.

Gee, she like 14 years old or something. You would think, being a staunch feminist and a protector of women from harassment, she would actually value virginity. Since virginity is often lost because hormone-soddled boys chase after the girlz...

Funnilly enough, I imagine the A/S community has a higher percentage of virgins since it is packed full of nerds/Aspies, etc. Rebecca, being one of the popular jock-girls, probably can't recognise this notion. Why do I get the feeling Rebecca Watson was part of a bullying clique at school? I can imagine it very easily.

I perused over to Greta's blog for the first time last night and attempted to strike up a conversation. I was banned almost immediately. Apparently the mere suggestion that a woman who is being gang-raped (or otherwise victimized) may find that she has choices to make - choices that might determine whether she lives or dies - and that some choices might be better than others in terms of survival strategy - was a capital offense. Instant ban. And I received a few "fuck you"s once I was banned from her peanut gallery. Classy bunch over there.

http://freethoughtblogs.com/greta/2012/ ... rrendered/

I just now checked up on it, and it appears that one guy spoke up for the fact that I was asking a reasonable question, and Greta put him on "comment moderation" status. Then she proceeded to explain that she not only allows dissent but encourages it. ...

Wow. That's really something. And you were being so careful to preface your remarks, and to be clear in your communications.

Looks like you were banned in part due to your "vile behavior [sic] on other blogs" at FtB. (All bolding below added by me)

You’re saying it is incumbent upon the aggressor to devise a survival strategy for the victim?

Yes it is. The prospective rapist should decide not to rape the victim.

The is a culture endemic throughout the world that says rape is acceptable. This is called, oddly enough, the rape culture. If enough people work to make the rape culture socially unacceptable, then the number of rapes will decrease. Prospective rapists will know their behavior is unacceptable and will be less likely to rape.

So YOU have to do your part to devise a survival strategy for rape victims.

Incidentally, I’m having serious doubts as to whether or not you’re an honest interlocutor. Your reputation on other FTB blogs is, shall I say, less than sterling.

Is there any room to question a woman’s behavior while she’s being raped in regards to survival strategy?

That person has a choice to make, don’t they? And that choice has implications. And that choice is subject to scrutiny…

kacyray @ #12: No. There is no reason to question a rape victim’s behavior in regards to their rape, or to subject it to scrutiny. Perseverating on this topic is a classic example of “Yes, but…” derailment, and is a way of trivializing the subject. And the fact that you think this is a valid question to be raising (in combination with your vile behavior in other blogs) has earned you a ban from this blog.

(No, no, no! "Scrutiny" is a bad thing. See how close it is to "scrotum"?)

Here's bushcat holding up your end of the "conversation" well after you'd been banned:

Oh yea, Jesse. Let’s not talk about survival strategies. It’s too uncomfortably pragmatic. Let’s be romantic and imagine we can put an end to rape, as we have to murder, burglary and fraud.

Here's part of Greta Christina's reply to bushcat:

...The whole point of this post was that examining a rape victim’s actions after their rape to question and scrutinize their choices and look at what they might have done better — as opposed to looking at how we can discourage and prevent potential rapists from committing rape — is reprehensible. ...

The question on the table is not, “Are there techniques that rape victims might employ to increase their chances of survival?” That may be the topic you want to discuss — but it is not the topic on the table. That would be an appropriate topic for another thread. On this thread, it is a classic example of exactly the kind of behavior that this post is condemning.

And riding roughshod over a blogger’s clearly stated comment policy, and blatantly disregarding her clearly stated wishes over what conversation topics in her blog are and are not appropriate and where, is what’s “not in keeping with free thought.” You have a right to express whatever views you like. You do not have the right to express them anywhere you like, at any time.

Normally at this point, I would be giving you one last chance to apologize and make amends. But today is supposed to be one of my very few days off from work, and I don’t want to have to spend all day monitoring the comments here to see if you’re still at it. So I’m putting you into comment moderation. Any further comments you make here will need to be approved by me before they get posted.

Riiiiiight. Anything that seems to question the righteousness of the blogger's topic post is "not in keeping with free thought". Good one, Greta.

Oh you hit Greta's rule 9. Me too, and I wasn't even vaguely rude or derailing.

It's Greta's way of banning people without having to have a real reason, but sans the inconvenience of having to suck it up and admit she's banning you solely for personal issues.

That A+ "hugs" thread was actually a spin off from another one about a congressional hearing regarding autism.

http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3089

The whole thing was all about how Autistics are an emergency, a burden, a tsunami, a crisis, the worst thing ever. Worse than polio, they said. No shit.

Why do they hate us so much?

Why do they hate us so much?

Why? why? why do they hate us so much?

Fucking hell and Sir Patrick Stewart, among other nerd heroes, is performing to benefit one of the hate groups who testified (autism speaks. Theyre a hate group. See: Autism Every Day, their first video. Or anything theyve said ever).

So much for being the one true capitain. Or diversity and shit. Facepalm all the fucking way home, asshat.

I found the vid.



These A+ pricks don't have autism, not like those kids do. There they are though, talking shit about organisations advocating general awareness of autism, increased funding for special ed. departments, more support and understanding for parents of autistic children... They're complaining that a congressional hearings was held to discuss how much the US government could actually do to help real people in a really difficult situation. Fucking infuriating bunch of useless wankers.

[ERV]

Funnilly enough, I imagine the A/S community has a higher percentage of virgins since it is packed full of nerds/Aspies, etc.

I was a total 'late bloomer'. I had shit to worry about with school/extracurriculars/sports, getting and keeping the best scholarships, getting into the schools I wanted-- Sex, in any form, was low on my priority list. I also found it hard to find people that I was intellectually and emotionally attracted to in the small farming town I grew up in, and then I went to college in a different small farming town.

I know a virologist who loves to recruit med students for this very reason-- When they get to medical school, theyre a bunch of inexperienced nerds from smaller towns, and many of them have managed to escape Mono. They get to medical school, finally meet people they are into/can use the 'med student' thing to their advantage/have some free time and free money, and then they get all slutty and get Mono. The virologist says theyre great for getting pre-/post-Mono-exposure antibody profiles! Its quite clever of him to target them.

So these med students, with all of their accomplishments, should be ashamed of their virgin status?

Maybe thats Watsons hook. She looks down on others virginity because losing hers is the only thing she has accomplished with her life.

Back from mid-November, but I don't recall seeing this here. Becky Whatnot has a huge list of apologies to people she was rude to during some speaking tour of hers. Most of the apologies are for being either drunk, or else a selfish and self-important cunt. Honestly, the whole thing is exactly like what recovering addicts are encouraged to write during 12-step recovery programs:

I’m sorry that:

1. I drank all the moonshine at the CSICon moonshine party (pictured)

2. I couldn’t wear my Wild Bill mustache (pictured) throughout the CSICon costume party because at one point it fell off and Richard Wiseman shoved it down his pants. Actually I’m not sorry about that but I thought I’d mention it in the hopes that Richard is sorry about it because that mustache really tied the whole costume together.

3. I was basically never at my CSICon merch table because I was constantly chatting with interesting people outside the conference room

4. I fell asleep at like 10pm on the last night of CSICon. I was very, very tired

5. I only left the speakers’ tent once during the blisteringly hot Florida Secular Rally, when someone tweeted to point out the fact that I wasn’t leaving the speakers’ tent

6. I marched out of the tent into the crowd, demanding to speak to Sean to prove I had left the tent

7. I ran back to the tent immediately after finding Sean

8. I ended my Skepticon talk by joking, “No more questions? Great, let’s just go to the bar.” I did not realize that a significant chunk of the audience would take me seriously and leave before seeing the last act of the day, Keith Lowell Jensen. Keith! I’m sorry!

9. I lost my voice by the time my talk was over, making me not very much fun for the rest of my time there

Hmm... a Godwin? I don't know, that kinda looks a little planted, if it wasn't for the DMCA reference.

Im only 25 though, and from what I hear its difficult at my age for a doctor to take you seriously if you say you want a vasectomy.

easy surgery, easy recovery, and easily reversed.

It is difficult for a woman to get her tubes tied at that age.

I've heard the exact same, due to the ease of reversing the vasectomy. I have a friend who got her tubes tied young (I think late twenties/early thirties) and as a result did some research on that. As far as I read (and naw, I can't be bothered looking up the research, so this is all from memory) women who did get their tubes tied were almost always happy with the result, but the best results came when the woman was in a stable relationship/stable situation. What seemed to change people's happiness with the decision was if their relationship fucked up and they started a new relationship with someone who did want children - but that didn't seem to happen often.

I've heard the exact same, due to the ease of reversing the vasectomy. I have a friend who got her tubes tied young (I think late twenties/early thirties) and as a result did some research on that. As far as I read (and naw, I can't be bothered looking up the research, so this is all from memory) women who did get their tubes tied were almost always happy with the result, but the best results came when the woman was in a stable relationship/stable situation. What seemed to change people's happiness with the decision was if their relationship fucked up and they started a new relationship with someone who did want children - but that didn't seem to happen often.

I'm not saying it's not harder for women, but despite the procedure being pretty simple and easily reversed, it's still a pain in the ass for a young guy with no kids to get one. The docs will give you no end of shit about how you don't really want to do it so young, blah, blah, blah. I wish it were otherwise, and maybe it is for some people, but I've never known anyone to get one done in their 20s or early 30s who didn't go on at great length about how much shit they had to go through about it.

Back from mid-November, but I don't recall seeing this here. Becky Whatnot has a huge list of apologies to people she was rude to during some speaking tour of hers. Most of the apologies are for being either drunk, or else a selfish and self-important cunt. Honestly, the whole thing is exactly like what recovering addicts are encouraged to write during 12-step recovery programs:

Rebecca's lovable antics and heel-arious apologies

It reads like she's in love with herself.

Which is not at all true since Myers did not actually delete at least three posts from Skep Tickle /Skeptixx. And I informed you of that through a message on TBS and a post here plus a further message on TBS which I didn’t save but which included, I think, the required proof for those with limited skills in obtaining the “most trivial piece of information”. Not at all a case of “nit-picking trivia” to point out that Myers did not, in fact, “erase all traces of Skeptixx’s posts”. ...

I haven't been back to that thread since being banned, hadn't thought my posts were deleted, and now I'm a tad confused looking at the "Despise...feminism" thread at Pharyngula, which is said to have 1166 comments, but I'm only seeing #1001 on without a link to the older ones. (I think mine were in the 300's).

Not getting anything either w/ a search of "skeptixx" though a couple of people had used that 'nym in their post, while castigating me, including (come to think of it) PZ. But maybe their search function only searches the topic posts.

Do your own fucking work Steersman, you ass sucking parasite. As stated on TBS -

It’s not good enough to point out X is inadequate because of Y without actually getting up off your ass and supplying information and links to what Y is.

Somehow, you can find the time to screencap and link TBS, but you simply can't do the most rudimentary search anywhere else and instead demand people here do it for you - in this case, Skeptixx comments. Why not provide direct links? Why is that Steers? Surely a simple link is less work than a screencap and imgur upload link?

I'll tell you why. Because you are a professional derailer that tittilates himself by getting folks here to run around chasing shadows and doing all the work for you.

Why the whole 'pit doesn't have you set on "ignore" is beyond me.

The Skeptixx comments are still there (on the first page of comments):

That's funny because the powers that be on the A+ forum have explicitly stated that they are only interested in attacking Christianity.

My incoherent thoughts on vasectomy:

Ahem, these are my incoherent thoughts on vasectomy, and they are mine.

These thoughts, is as follows

Even with a vasectomy, you will often have to wear a condom if you are screwing women you are in a short term relationship with. That is because even if they are on birth control themselves, they do not know that you are not carrying denebian slime mold. And if they are not on birth control, they will not trust that your vasectomy works.

So there is a good chance you are mistaken if you think a vasectomy means no condom sex unless you are in a long term and trusting and exclusive relationship.

... and it's mine.

And I have another theory.

If you're getting a vasectomy to have condom-free sex, you're wrong. It ain't just that she doesn't know you don't have something. you don't know she doesn't either. A vasectomy only protects against one STD, and that's children.

I perused over to Greta's blog for the first time last night and attempted to strike up a conversation. I was banned almost immediately. Apparently the mere suggestion that a woman who is being gang-raped (or otherwise victimized) may find that she has choices to make - choices that might determine whether she lives or dies - and that some choices might be better than others in terms of survival strategy - was a capital offense. Instant ban. And I received a few "fuck you"s once I was banned from her peanut gallery. Classy bunch over there.

That was a bizarre thread. It inspired this equally bizarre comic

2. Twatson, seeing as she only responds to trolls and not actual humans, still hasnt gotten around to explaining her Evolutionary Psychology abortion, but managed to find the time to insult a crude detractor on Twitter by calling them a virgin.

Its *weird* how focused Rebecca Watson is on S-E-X.

There is a long list of things I would call someone if I genuinely wanted to hurt their feelings. 'Virgin' isnt on that list. Not because it is SO OFFENSIVE but because its not even remotely offensive. We generally encourage young children to be virgins. In some cultures virgins are revered. Some people are very happy virgins by choice into adulthood, asexuals, aspies who do not fucking want to be touched, etc. Lots of lesbians these days live their entire lives without ever having hetero-sex and could, with a very specific definition, still be considered 'virgins'.

But 'virgin' is on the top of Watsons oh-so-enlightened list of insults for a poster she presumes is male, which she used to encourage traditional male stereotypes (HAVE LOTS OF SEXAH TIME OR U NO DOOOD!).

Rebecca Watson is so *WEIRD*.

Virgin is meant to be emasculating. It's the go to for insulting males in general. She also could have gone with
faggot, queer, pussy, cocksucker, or sissy.

Some of us here on the 'pit have been calling Brownian/Anthony K a virgin, so let's not open ourselves up to the charge of hypocrisy by making too much of a similar 'insult' by RW.

I'm getting a bit sick of the appropriation of the "slymepitter" label to mean "anyone who disagrees with us".

It's a simple and effective (for the FfTB choir, anyway) smear. An obvious propaganda tactic. It's not unexpected, after all, it wouldn't be Freethought Blogs if they weren't libeling and smearing and making false accusations.

The good thing is, the desperate tactic shows we loom large in their minds. They can't get rid of us, and they can't stop us from showing the whole community their hypocrisy and scummy methods. And it's gotta frustrate the fuck out of Peezus et. al., because they continually have to deal with this place and play their denial and misdirection games every time we point out their latest shenanigans.

If they weren't bothered by us, they'd ignore us.

That A+ "hugs" thread was actually a spin off from another one about a congressional hearing regarding autism.

Yeah, I traced it back when Hugsgate was first mentioned here, but didn't think to bring it here. It's some seriously fucked up shit, and it shows the utter paranoia that runs rampant through A+. You have to be insane to call an organization that tries to spread awareness about a mental illness a "hate group", especially when said organization is spreading awareness about a condition you claim to be afflicted with.

I wouldn't be surprised if many members here were, like me, first alerted to this site by the constant references to the evil Slympit and its disgusting denizens by PZ et al. It would go so far as to say that PZ is the 'pit's most effective propagandist. Maybe he should be offered an honorary membership, or something like that.
