Periodic Table of Swearing
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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:PGumby wrote: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.another lurker wrote: It's because the most rabid FTB'ers are not here to convert. They are here to feel morally righteous. They are here to rub their superiority in everyone's faces. 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.
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.
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.

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.The last forum that I had trouble on was a right wing forum.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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.

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."
I understand his point if he meant its irrelevant because some people actually think like that!Darren wrote:

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 ….

He: The real estate just called. They say they haven't gotten the rent. You did pay it didn't you?

He: Can I have the receipt?

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.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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
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.
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?Stacy wrote:No she didn’t, shithead.

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.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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?Altair wrote: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

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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.franc wrote: 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 -

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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.AchronTimeless wrote:Eucli's post count?Al Stefanelli wrote:Four Hundred

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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).Altair wrote:...

Cheers, Jerry. Love your work, keep it up. :handgestures-thumbup:JTC wrote: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,

'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.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
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.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.
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.
