So it's fair for me to call her a horse-faced hag, right? Because she's a horse-faced hag.
Certainly seems fair considering that you’ve posted your own photo. Although I wonder how you’d feel if you looked like Don Knotts or Quasimodo instead of the Marlboro Man [if a somewhat studious/punkish version] ….
Hey, it's not my fault I'm so damned pretty.

Hence the obsession with rules. They are constantly looking for excuses to attack others. Notice how many of them live their lives on the board?

And for the record, the above complaint can be applied to any number of forum posters across an entire spectrum of interests. I have been a visitor to all sorts of blogs and forums over the last 10 years, and I have always ended up leaving because of the control freaks on every forum. People who live their lives on the forum/blog and who LORD it over everyone else.

They don't give a shit about their 'movement'. It's about jacking up their own egos. That's all it is, in the end.
An interesting viewpoint. Maybe it could be said that the FTBers are as you say all about acting morally righteous and superior. It could also be said that A+ was imagined to be a place where the dogma could actually be spread - that they'd be the people doing the work that the FTBers were too busy wanking to their reflections to bother with. Of course, A+ dissolved immediately into emotionally unstable shrieking, so a big failure there. There's just nothing rational to promote.

As far as your point about other places ending up like FTB, I hope that never becomes the case here. The problems in other forums, as you noted, come from people with control issues. Here, people will nag sometimes when people do things like repeatedly breach common-sense netiquette conventions, but really, it's somewhat anarchic here. Everyone lives and dies by their own words, and there are almost no rules. I was once part of a forum where the mods were absolutely iron-fisted as in A+ and FTB people were banned on a whim. It fell apart rather quickly. The people who didn't get banned, left in disgust because of these egomaniacal control freaks. The more rules, the more miserable the atmosphere of a site. Pharyngula and the rest of FtB are a testament to that.

The Pit, however, has a wonderfully relaxed feel to it, simply because there are no firm rules (other than no illegal posts or activity, basically). So long story short, hopefully this place can avoid these types of pitfalls.
In case there is any confusion, in no way was I casting any aspersions about the Slymepit. I am a complete and utter newbie, and have spent only a few minutes reading your posts. I do not have enough information as of yet to form any bad opinions:P

The last forum that I had trouble on was a right wing forum. The home of 'principled conservatism'. YET, if anyone so much as disagreed with the dogma, they were automatically accused of being trolls and banned. The forum owners often bragged about their commitment to free speech, but if someone suggested that hey, maybe neo-nazis should be shunned for their behaviour, the forum owners would go ballistic and start threatening the ban hammer.

The right wing bullies and the FTbullies - not much difference. At all. Two sides of the same coin.

BTW, I'm just baking four dozen prosciutto and gruyère pinwheels. They'll be out of the oven in about 15 minutes. I'm in Atherton this evening, so if anyone want to pop round a grab a couple while they're still warm, feel free to do so. It's the house with the silver 2005 Honda CR-V and the red 1994 Miata parked outside.

Oh, I never thought you were casting aspersions. Your post just got me thinking about this place and its (so far, anyway) immunity from the problems you've observed at FTB and other places.
The last forum that I had trouble on was a right wing forum. The home of 'principled conservatism'. YET, if anyone so much as disagreed with the dogma, they were automatically accused of being trolls and banned. The forum owners often bragged about their commitment to free speech, but if someone suggested that hey, maybe neo-nazis should be shunned for their behaviour, the forum owners would go ballistic and start threatening the ban hammer.

Sure sounds like it. And it's not just sites that are centered around an ideology, like FTB and that right wing forum you mention. The forum that went to totalitarian hell that I mentioned in my previous post was a fucking social forum, for chrissakes - a place where about 200 people that had become friends elsewhere on the net had created just to have a good time in a virtual chat toom. The mods were so hell-bent on maintaining a friendly atmosphere that they ended up wrecking the place. Irony meter overload.

30-some women for every man alive. Yet we can't muster 50% attendence at conferences? C'mon ladies, y'all are slacking.

For some reason, this makes me think of Oprah and her 9000 penises.

Yes. Just the kind of attention the turd craves - his life is a hollow cave of tears and echoing sorrow without it. Fuck him. Really, he's like a piece of dogshit you step in on the street. Scrape it off and keep walking while you ponder more relevant things. One more time for Chester (you know he's reading) -
I've never engaged with oolon beyond making this list (and my top 10 list that preceded it) - he's remained on every single one of my ban lists and filters after seeing him scumming up the original Tf00t blogs. I would say that Lee and oolon are exactly the same type of person and it's that type of self-righteous suck-up creep (your toilet slave -.-) that I find most disgusting to encounter on the interwebs. So I don't see a point in not clumping them together on my "worst humans" list. If it pleases the little cunt then jolly fucking good, I've filtered him out of every media and will never have to see him gloat about it.

You're quite welcome.

This is a great place for a conversation. To be honest, I come here for the lulz mostly, although I did find this place due to getting totally pissed off at FTB and Skepchick. I post some serious stuff once in a while, but I usually just post fluff and larf at the antics of Peezus and Co. It's all good. You'll enjoy it here. You should register.

I'm so sick of these stupid bitches telling me I should be afraid of my own fucking shadow. They demean real, actual rape by turning the slightest glance their way by any man into RAPE!!!11eleventy!!!. Obviously no-one read them "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" when they were children.

I wrote a letter of amicus curiae for a dude who kinda went through the same shit. His girlfriend cheated on him, so he fucked her friend or something. She went to his house and smashed in his big screen TV and threw his laptop in the dishwasher. He called the cops on her, to which she claimed all the damage was done while she was trying to 'escape' from him, and that he eventually caught her and brutally raped her.

Long story short, he's out of jail, she's in jail and his shit got replaced. Wasn't a pretty fight, though.

That is such fucking bullshit... all of the additional requirements for rape there as well as "full on" rape are done by women as well. Women manipulate, trick, or lie to men in order to get sex as well. As for the fucking people while they're lying there drugged up, women do that as well. They also do forced rape, with the help of other things (like I said, drugs)- rope, blunt objects, etc. This guy needs to quit pretending women are innocent of such things.

1/3 of women in the world have been raped? I guess they don't need citations but they'll squawk "citation!" when we mention something they know good and well happened and don't expect them to deny.

And stop being so sexist as well. Seriously, a man is not allowed to tell a woman he's not a rapist because it will give her a false sense of security? No one is allowed to tell a woman not all men are rapists it will give her a false sense of security? Upsetting, sexist, extremist bullshit. I wish I never read such crap.

War stories. Knew a guy that kicked one of these things out of his apartment and changed locks. Didn't matter. She broke in while he was out, then attacked him with a pair of scissors when he got home, only managing to slash the palm of his hand. Of course the neighbours called the cops. They separated them, had a good laugh at the 'lover's quarrel", told him not to bother with charges as they had prior records on him back at the station if he wanted to make a fuss, and gave the precious petal a ride home.

I nominate Richard Carrier as one of the worst people in 2012. His infamous "with-us-or-against-us" followed by a shit load of invective for anyone who didn't pledge 100% loyalty for the thing he just thought of 5 minutes ago really set the whole tone for Atheism+ and the whole baboonosphere.

Secondly, I propose from now on we fight fire with fire. Ophelia Benson, Rebecca Watson, Burly Amish and co do not have the right to speak on, for or on behalf of men or men's issues.

That's horrible :/ Those cops are sexist scum. That is so wrong.
But why should I be surprised at the scissors incident... when there are cops who will tell someone to "man up" when their girlfriend gives them a concussion. I have a friend who was severely abused by an ex wife... both times help was brought (once by her against him.. :roll: ) HE was the one that got screwed over. Once when he pushed her (she had been beating on him)- she told the courts he was abusive. when she admitted and told them in detail exactly how she was the abusive one, they said she was just saying that because she was afraid. She continued to insist, so the judge said that he should have "left" if he was being abused. Then there are the clearly sexist abuse laws.

Then there's that time he had hundreds of cuts all over his body, called in because he was suicidal. On the phone he had to push her away, she squawked (perhaps for their attention.. hmm), and then somehow HE was the one in trouble. The nurse told him he wasn't suicidal "because the cuts weren't deep enough."

Happy New Year Pit. I read the entire thread over these few weeks and it's been a trip. Thanks for keeping these fuckwads in check and it's been pleasure conversing with a few of you over twitter. You're a solid group of people and all the hyperbolic nonsense I used to read about "The Pit" on FTB is just that.... nonsense.

Take care friends,

So it's fair for me to call her a horse-faced hag, right? Because she's a horse-faced hag.
Certainly seems fair considering that you’ve posted your own photo. Although I wonder how you’d feel if you looked like Don Knotts or Quasimodo instead of the Marlboro Man [if a somewhat studious/punkish version] ….
Hey, it's not my fault I'm so damned pretty.
Tough job; someone has to do it.

Although it seems that sexual desireability is not all that it is cracked up to be (very little is, I’ve found: I remember reading that Charles Dickens, I think, happened to have spent his honeymoon visiting Niagara Falls and when asked about it said that it was the second biggest disappointment of his trip – an acquired taste).

But read an interesting article on the perspective over on a site I’d found in searching about InMalafide. And then there are the cases like Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten and Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace who described the “callous and exploitative practices in the pornography industry” – lots of people get chewed-up and spit out the other end of that process which is largely predicated on sexual desireability – or rather on its “intersection” with other social values and perspectives.

Reminds me of something that I think Jacob Bronowski [The Ascent of Man] said about similar situations: “For the environment exacts a price for the survival of the fittest; it captures them” – although one needs to put “fittest” in quotes to emphasize its relativity ….

Question... there was a woman I came across on YA who had gotten pregnant with her boyfriend - while he was asleep. Would he have to pay child support if he decided to leave her? And what would Atheism +'s take be on this? They'd probably be all "omg, he should have to pay for the child! How can he not take care of his child?! She's pregnant and ON HER OWN OMG"

Completely irrelevant, but I just saw this in my twitter feed:

Sure enough, if you do a Google search for that phrase, her blog comes up on top. So, if you have a few spare seconds, why not Google "what are your consequences if genealogy isn't taken seriously" (without the quotes), and click on Miranda's blog. Sometimes I just like fucking with people :P

Dummy or real is irrelevant. I can hear echoes of similar psychodramatics from maniacs of the past. If real, don't see the point of masking identities if the morons don't bother themselves.
Whoa... you're not chanelling Matt Dillahunty there, are you franc?
Touché. But I am not going to claim an imgur image is gospel truth, a la Myers and the Great Fish Massacre. I did search but couldn't find anything, thus disclaimer. But eerily similar to past experience -

He: The real estate just called. They say they haven't gotten the rent. You did pay it didn't you?
She (sporting new ipod and cellphone): Of course I did sweetie.
He: Can I have the receipt?
She: (lips purse, various excuses)
He: Let's go to the real estate and sort it then
She: YOU WON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT (more excuses, some screaming, counter accusations, storms out of flat to call cops that she's terrified for her life from crazy boyfriend)

Etc. A drama that is played out in one variant or another every second of every day.

I hoped they would think a little bit after reading Skeptixx's awesome post at B&W and would try to answer the points she raised (yes, I know, I should know better by now), but all we got was the usual crap from Stacy
Stacy wrote:
Cutee wrote: Ophelia Benson USED (yes, I said it) the brutalizing of a rape victim to further enhance the opinion, in some people’s minds, that she is a victim of anything even approaching this
No she didn’t, shithead. Only somebody who can’t read for comprehension–e.g., a slimepitster–could get that from what Ophelia wrote.

skeptixx, duness, et al–you are making this thread–which, for the reading impaired, is about rape culture, and how it impacts women in small as well as horrific ways–all about you and your campaign against Ophelia.

You are disgusting people. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, but I suspect you’re incapable of shame, or of honest self-reflection to any degree whatsoever. Fuck off, and take teh stoopid with you, kthxbai.
Now, whoever Cutee and Duness are, they have been branded pitters. Well, actually pitsters, but we get the idea. Maybe we'll see them register here in the next days?

It's also interesting how the victim's male friend is usually hand-waved away. He survived and what happened to him was not as bad as what happened to her, but, as Ophelia herself acknowledged in her post, he was also beat up, stripped and thrown off the bus with her.

That doesn't jive with the "rape culture" and "misogyny" angles, so the guy is never mentioned in these kind of articles.

In closing, I agreee with Skep Tickle, although I make the point less eloquently than she does. It must be that male privilege she hasn't checked in ages.

right... stacy.. ever think that maybe if it was posted by someone ELSE who didn't go on about themselves after posting it that they'd talk about the post rather than chiming in to support her post?

Yikes. That sounds eerily familiar. Granted, the way I got out of it was she had already violated her parole by not getting routine drug tests, so to falsely file a report, she'd have to go to the police and be arrested right after.

I don't really have much of a problem with Ophelia - but then again, I have only read her blog on/off for a short while. In short, I know nothing.

I just watched Thunderf00ts video however, and he characterizes many FTBers as 'professional victims' and that sounds about right.

Er no, but you could stop being so obsessed with me? You've already tried net stalking me. It's bad enough that you now know you live near me and joked about running me over - no idea if you'd NOT do it though. Everyone knows one psychopath... I don't want to be lesbiraped in my sleep.So please no more name mentions so that your obsession calms down.

Good point. I haven't been following the news reports & what I've heard only barely mentioned the man. It'd be great if he were mentioned more often & more prominently as a victim in the attack, not cast to the side of the road (yet again).

Well played, Eucli.

'Four Hundred' was in reference to my own post count, because there are those on certain blogging networks that seem to be obsessed with my post count here. Just reminding them, is all.

This Indian rape story is more about class/caste than any other factor.
It's odd that the victim hasn't been named yet.
I hadn't realised that Ophie has moved to India though. I take back all my disbelief about her living in a misogynist culture.

bubblesort wrote: I like that quote, but I see privilege theory arguments as inherently Marxist rather than Stalinist (although Stalinism was kind of Marxist, I guess). The privilege check police seek to divide us into classes in order to create class conflict because their framework falls apart without class conflict. I've found that most people on A+ and even other non-atheist and non-activist forums I frequent who are the loudest privilege-check police are almost always Marxist. I've noticed a surge of Marxists in online communities over the past month or so, and they aren't always advocating privilege checks, sometimes they try to argue things like value theory.
Stalinism was only Marxist for as long as Stalin needed to seem Leninist. I don't think Stalin read much Marx, and what he did read he plainly did not understand. Once Lenin was dead, and various rivals were out of the way, Stalin could openly be what he'd always been: Stalinist. After that, economics and class theory were only window dressing for the real agenda: The ruthless and capricious wielding of total power by someone totally unfitted for authority of any kind.

Be grateful these little Web Warriors are only able to conduct their show trials and fulfil their execution quotas virtually. If they had real power it would be really ugly. Not that these runts are potential replicas of Stalin of course. They more like your low-ranking NKVD goon. Beating lest they be beaten.
