Ladies and gentlemen (and others), I give you A Plus Adventure. A text adventure (choose-your-own-adventure style) where you take on the role of a prospective A+ forum member. Playable on- or off-line. It's very rudimentary and short, but hey, I have actual work to do as well.

If anyone feels inclined to help me improve/expand on it, PM me. No expertise required beyond being able to string sentences together.
That is quite funny.

Can you add either a "back to start" or "choose again" link on the "death" page?

Hej Gals and Guys and everything in between.
Apparently, I decided to check in after having lurked for a few months. I have a different nickname at FfTB, and its not a secret, but I like this one better now. I already generated Lulz for you, when I persuaded a certain Tony to write a pep talk for Rocko's second episode of dramatic reading. When I saw my name in the video I was like... What The F... hihi... well done.

I'll throw my observations into the ring sometime later but the short answer is I like good discussions and Lulz and think I can find both more likely around here, but hate windmill politicks which seems to be the hallmark of the FTB discussion style. Among other things I identify as an anti-theist and feminist. But as you figured out I am sure, Feminism is to Rebecca Watson and Co. as is quantum physics to Deepak Chopra.

And now Fuck On.

LOL! ZING! That's the funniest thing ever. Stupid Libertarians and their pathology.
This is standard US Progressive cant. Anyone who doesn't agree with them 100% is Satanicmentally ill because Satan has brainwashed themfalse consciousness or some other ReligiousChumksyite Twaddle. It is the mirror image of US Religious Conservatism, where everyone who doesn't agree with them 100% is Satanicmentally ill because Satan has brainwashed themfalse consciousness or some other ReligiousChumksyite Twaddle.

In other words, both US Progressives and US Religious Conservatives equate politics and morality. They are the textbook examples of an Alinksyite "Making the Political Personal".

@Steersman #188, “And all Michael has done is to ask Justin for his opinions as to whether he thinks that they are “morally justified” or not – and presumably from a philosophical perspective.”

The thing is, I am under the impression that a whole bunch of people are presupposed to believe that “they” have the high moral ground and I believe that some, certainly I am one, do not share that opinion.

Now the rest is not aimed at you personally Steersman, so do not take it that way.

As far as I am concerned, you have to walk the talk without exceptions. If you want to demonstrate a higher morality than my own, you can for example stop ridiculing the Christians.

Otherwise you have no credibility if you want me to stop my equally justifiable ridicule of you.

Walk the talk. Put up or shut up. Those are the choices. Or accept that someone like me is never going to accept your perception of moral superiority.
Aha! So you do want to silence women! ;) I know what you meant, but I'm sure they'll quote mine it if they respond at all.

Uh yeah. Welch is the face of the pit. So is Franc. The two warring faces. Could they ever be as one again?

In other news, the play I'm in calls for a 'passionate' stage kiss with a younger woman. It's going to be the most awkward thing I've done for a while... I thought I would share the awkwardness of this situation with you by putting you in the awkward position of wanting to make a stupid joke but worried you might end up in Nugent's Slymepit's 50 greatest hits album part II.

I also have now recorded the most poorly sung song I have ever recorded. It's a song by the band Lone Star. I'm reluctant to release it as it calls for 'singing' as opposed to Broadway chorus buffoonery. I have another of those in the pipeline by the Lone Star one is closest to being wheeled off the assembly line.
I thought Phil was the face of the pit. He's so pretty... :-o

Of course, they immediately try to insulate themselves from the porcupine rape "jokes". It is also the case that things like PZ saying that ERV has the wrong opinion about being stalked, or the accusations that she is trying to impress the boys, and all of that are much harder to quote.

Upon further thought, why play their game? How to ANY of those quotes compare to trying to get ERV fired, or accusing an innocent guy, by name, of taking upskirt pictures?
But that's A+, not FTB. Doesn't count

You're trying to stab jello with a spoon.

You could probably do this same exercise for hundreds upon hundreds of posts/comments over at FtB. Just substitute the word "Feminism" for any other word/idea they are attacking and feed it right back at them. But, of course, it's different when feminism is involved, amiright?

Michael having a big ole NumNum at this point is no great surprise, he needs these people onside before his conference. I just hope he has segregated elevators. Once the conference season is over we can expect the resumption of programming as normal.

Laura March 4, 2013 at 5:13 pm
John Brown,

"You obviously have no clue what feminism is. Why don’t you take a few days to research it, read different writers and get back to us. Because calling feminism a “pathology” is like people calling communism or libertarianism “evil, bad.” Even if you disagree with Marx, you still have to understand the context and history and what problems he was addressing. Feminism has changed over the decades and the movement is much more complex than you think.
If you defend your statment above, I will just think you are incapable of analytic thought and are just too simple minded"

No snark there at all....

Maybe Laura could tell us what the approved form of feminism is these days. Here's a pick list for her:

Radical
Liberal
Eco
Libertarian
Separatist
Equity
Cultural
Socialist
Sex pos
Sex neg
Analytic
Gender
Standpoint
P modern
Lipstick

FFS

My standard response is usually, "Since feminism is whatever you say it is, please direct me to what reading you want me to do. Is it bell hooks? Christina Hoff Summers? Andrea Dworkin? Sex-positive? Sex negative? Pro sex work? Anti sex work? Maggie McNeil? Wendy McElroy?"

I've read more about feminism than most of these drones.

Video Embedding Tutorial

#3755

Post by Scented Nectar »

tina wrote:Fuck it. Someone show me...
Ok, here's my Video Embedding Tutorial. :)

A youtube video url will come in two different types. The kind with the video code at the end, and the kind with the code in the middle. You need to strip off the extra stuff before putting the code (alone) between the youtube tags.

Here are two different urls going to the same video:

Code: Select all

code at the end:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMoWt0wnlUw

and code in the middle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMoWt0wnlUw&list=PLRCcL1Mc4NsHI5tKbOSVTY3xbSf4KbYdL&index=2
Always get rid of everything up to and including, the first (or only) equal sign "=".
The stuff after it is the code, but note in the second example, there is extra stuff after the code.
The extra stuff after always begins with an "&" followed by whatever extra stuff.
Strip off the &'s and the extra stuff following at the end.

To sum it up, just keep the part between the first "=" and the first "&" (if there is one).

We are left with just the code: DMoWt0wnlUw so...

Code: Select all

Now put that inside youtube tags (plus I'm adding a title):

Captain Kirk Deals With a Strange Alien Culture
[youtube]DMoWt0wnlUw[/youtube]
The above tag and code will become this when posted:

Captain Kirk Deals With a Strange Alien Culture
[youtube]DMoWt0wnlUw[/youtube]

Well, in the morning, they try to convert you to their cause. They tell you that the wonderful coffee you've made for breakfast is just a bourgeois luxury (while they drink it anyways). It all ends when you tell them "oh yeah? well your orgasm last night was just a bourgeois luxury, you nutter, now get lost". Better to just not fuck any commies in the first place.

Disclaimer: The above has totally never happened to me. I'm just pretty sure that's how it would go.

Hey, one of mine made the list of bad SlimePit things, heheh.
9. Many [feminists] try to be ugly on purpose (especially lesbians – crewcut hair + ugly hipster glasses), in hopes that less men will think sexual thoughts about them, and conversely, others do the opposite of that, a kind of stubborn insistence that men should find them attractive without them having to groom, or look good, or even despite looking fugly bad.
I remember saying that here a while back. It's not just insulting though. It's true. They can't look past the packaging (me mocking their absurdity) to see my message (me pointing out their absurdity).

Yes but have you heard the good news of Feminism as taught by PeeZus Christ? I could place a Watchtower blog post for a mere 10 cents.

Many [feminists] try to be ugly on purpose (especially lesbians – crewcut hair + ugly hipster glasses), in hopes that less men will think sexual thoughts about them, and conversely, others do the opposite of that, a kind of stubborn insistence that men should find them attractive without them having to groom, or look good, or even despite looking fugly bad.
I remember saying that here a while back. It's not just insulting though. It's true. They can't look past the packaging (me mocking their absurdity) to see my message (me pointing out their absurdity).

One of mine made it too, Scented. I defended it last page. I don't post on Nugget's blog. (I'm taking Vacula's advice and not engaging the dissenters.)

It is also my understanding that you might be a person qualified to make statements about things that feminists do. Propositions that ought to be treated as factual propositions to be rebutted rather than as crass insults?

From my position referring to "feminists" is using an area weapon that is going to falsely tar a dozen people inappropriately for every one intended target, if you take "feminist" to mean "someone who identifies as a feminist" (though I know that number is decreasing). My guess is that a large number of feminists have never heard of the concepts of "privilege" etc. That's not to say there isn't a reading of that which makes sense, my point is that it is a vanishingly small proportion of feminists who I think are arguing dishonestly.

I never called myself a feminist personally, but that's because I think it's a movement that should be completely in the hands of women for them to make their case etc. Most often when I see a man identify as a "feminist" he is about to say something that is going to piss off a lot of women.

No doubt Michael Nugent's list "justifies" flying his Merkin BFFs across the Pond for a meeting in Ireland, where they will certainly accomplish Great Things that could not be achieved through modern internet and satellite communications. Empowering women through secularism requires transatlantic flights and face-to-face partying and consumption of food and alcohol, apparently. Staying in a hotel together has the added bonus of providing opportunities for stories of perceived harassment and nebulous threats, which necessitate future meetings and endless blogging: a self-serving and self-renewing cycle of dishonest hypocrisy.

Too bad that the great majority of women to be "empowered "by your meetings are privileged white citizens of developed countries, whose lives and livelihoods are unaffected by climate change. Party on, and rack up those transcontinental air miles, right?
:clap:
I don't know why that doesn't get mentioned more, other than well, you know, it would mean less prestige/fun for them.

Well, in the morning, they try to convert you to their cause. They tell you that the wonderful coffee you've made for breakfast is just a bourgeois luxury (while they drink it anyways).

I wanted to comment on Nuggent's blog, but I'm too angry not to be vulgar. What a fucking 'reetard', both him and Martin Wagner. Then we have those fucking psycophants who are too stupid to understand what is being said or what is meant. They continue twist words and ignore previous points made to assert their same bullshit over and over. I've read Pitchguests' comments, and there were many times where he had already addressed a point from those dittoheads, but they act as if the point wasn't made, and still regurgitate the same vomit as they always do.

Which is worse, writing a blog falsely accusing people in the atheist world of being sexists, racists, misogynists, or some angry dissenter on some unmoderated forum saying cunt? Someone might say that both are bad, but still, which is the worse out of the two, and why is one of them more severe? These are questions you'd think that Nuggent would ask if he were objective, but it is clear that he's a true-believer in FTB, since he only calls out the Slyme Pit. Anyone who thinks Michael Nuggent is being reasonable is mistaken.

Martin Wagner's a fucking douche who doesn't know what a "misogynist" is. He's been happy to throw that term around so loosely when anyone comes close to challenging their dogmatic brand of feminism, as a Christian would throw the terms "heretic", "sinner", "satanic", at non-believers.
http://i.imgur.com/f9LrmxG.png

I've seen him make many statements in the past which are on par with the type of comments said here in the Pit. And I've seen him 'like' comments from others which are about violence against another person who he doesn't like. Everyone understood that comment to be a joke, which is expected. Yet if anyone says something against the people which Martin Wagner approves of while using the same context/comedy style, then it's wrong. It's the same old hypocrisy.

Here's a handy search link (remove the pharyngula for overall FftB obviously). Just replace the "fuckwit" with whatever term you find interesting. Here is a quick breakdown. Mind you, not all will be in an insulting context, but it becomes clear that most of it does. Feel free to copy&paste and expand (just use notepad for formatting).

Code: Select all

Term............. FTB General....Pharyngula
Fucking.......... 15,200.........6,760....
Asshole............7,870 ........4,490....
Fuckwit............2,020 ....... 1,300....
Fuck Sideways........581 ......... 395......
Die in a fire........165 ......... 112......

My comment on Nugent's pack of bullshit post:
So many things to say, such a small internet.

First, and this is critical: Justin Vacula is neither authorized nor in fact able to "answer" for the 'pit. He speaks for no one but himself. He doesn't speak for me, and if you read the 'pit for more than quotemining purposes, (we'll get to that later), you'd see that rather a lot of people there are really quite insistent about that. So already, we see that you have no real idea about what it is you're criticizing. Indeed, I'd say your understanding of the 'pit is only marginally better than Ken Ham's understanding of evolution, (and your quote-mining shows your ethics to be about at the same level as Ham's as well.)

Justin Vacula's opinion of what anyone who is not Justin Vacula has written has about as much "validity" as your opinion of it. He cannot, can. not. answer for it, nor will many of us allow him to. If you want to find out why a specific person said a specific thing, then I suggest you spine up and ask that person.

One of the primary 'rules' of the 'pit, if you are that desperate to codify things, is simple: "you, and only you, are responsible for your words".

No one "makes" anyone type a single letter there. One's participation, or lack thereof in the 'pit is that individual's choice. If I choose to post a bit about my dad's daft fascination with leisure suits, that doesn't make anyone else there "responsible" for that post, any more that I am responsible for anyone else's post.

It is, as we have tried to state over and over, in atmosphere, a pub. People wander from conversation to conversation as they wish. Some folks only drop in once a month or so, others seem to live there. About the only conclusion you can draw from participation in the 'pit is that we generally like the pub and enough of the people in it to come back. It does not, by any means, imply we all hold hands and sing every post in multipart harmony.

Again, reading for understanding rather than quote-mining would show that the disagreements there are frequent and heated. In my case, to say I don't get along with Franc Hoggle would be an understatement. But I wouldn't want him banned. When one of the local MRAs started pushing what I thought was sheer idiocy, I very specifically and pointedly called them out on it. When, in the course of our argument, he found a rather blatant date error in one of my statements, he called me out on it, and as he was correct, I admitted my error, and moved on.

No one was banned though. No one was hounded off the site. We weren't particularly *nice* to each other, but the fact I thought he was, in this instance, completely full of shit didn't mean that when he found an error I had made, I dismissed his point, because he was not doing well on others.

It's funny though...how angry, and upset the FTB lot get when you call them or even refer to them as some kind of hive mind, and yet, the first thing they do when talking about the 'pit, is make sure the only image anyone has is that we are all of the same mind and opinion.

I'm amused to see you joining in on that Michael.

It says a lot about how seriously anyone from the 'pit should take you. After all, you're not even dealing with who we are. You're "fighting" a chimera, a mythical creature that doesn't exist. I thought skeptics and atheists didn't believe in fantasy. Hmm...another myth I suppose.

Now, let us spend some time on your post. It shows a lot of work. That level of quote-mining clearly took no small amount of effort. I would applaud it based solely on that, but, as my dad said "Just because you worked hard at being wrong doesn't mean you still weren't wrong."

For example, this bon mot:
[two named persons] Wow, you two are a little two-person retard train, aren’t you?
Wow, that's pretty awful. Man, ableist as hell right? There's just one problem...Michael only showed part of the comment. He made it look like it originated in the 'pit. But that's not exactly true, is it Michael?

Here, the *full* post:
I'm laughing almost as much as I did when Tony started fapping to the urethra meatus.



@micknugent @rebeccawatson Wow, you two are a little two-person retard train, aren't you?
It's a comment on a *twitter* post, said post by Dalesy617.

But I'm sure it's okay that Michael did that, because after all, he would never want to imply something that's not true, like the part he quoted originated in the 'pit. After all, I'm sure Michael is an honorable person.

Or this one:
I’ve posted a few fat jokes and insults. Way I see it, anything one has the power to change about oneself, one can expect to be used for a cheap laugh: obesity, religion, or dying your fucking hair blue.
Well, it's not a nice opinion, but it's not particularly horrible. However, let's look at the entire thing:
I've posted a few fat jokes and insults. Way I see it, anything one has the power to change about oneself, one can expect to be used for a cheap laugh: obesity, religion, or dying your fucking hair blue.

It's why I don't make race jokes, or laugh at people with a disability (I hated the username that was something like "Spacklick", for eg). I love the hypocrisy of many television celebrities, who go on panel shows and make jokes about Heather Mills, then come November they've got the poppy on and are schmoozing with wounded war vets.
Is ConcentratedH2O going to win the Mr. Rogers Award anytime soon? No. But funny how context shows the whole story, about how it's someone stating where they personally draw the line on personal appearance jokes. It almost gives you a more complete view of what's going on, so if you decide to agree or not, you're at least basing that (dis)agreement on all the information. But, I'm sure Michael didn't clip that rather short quote pull so as to deliberately make it look as awful as possible. After all, I'm sure Michael is an honorable person.

We can look at your post-list caveats all day long, but the end result of your list is clear: you deliberately, and specifically quote-mined comments to show the worst possible view of the people making them, in some cases, deliberately trimming them to look as if they originated in the 'pit, even when that was not actually the case.

Why? Why would you not use the entire comment? I refuse to buy into a space issue, as in one case, the entire comment would have added a sentence, a twitter URL and two blank lines to things. *Clearly* it is not a space or length problem. As well, I'm pretty sure that when creationists pull this same kind of stunt, that is, create a long list of "Things Evolutionists Say" that are nothing but out of context quote mines and cherry picking, you, like everyone else on the side of evolution, gets rather annoyed with it, because it is such a fundamentally dishonest thing to do

However, I am glad you did it, because it tells me a few things:

1) You are exactly as hypocritical as Ophelia, PZ, and all the rest. You will complain about things like quote-mining up until the exact point when such a tactic will work in your favor. Once that happens, well, it's all right when you do it, right? You have a "noble" goal in mind, in this case, the ends justify the means, right? It was wrong to mansplain to Rebecca Watson about how she should feel about Elevator Guy, but when PZ not only mansplained to Stef McGraw how she should feel, but said she should feel *honored* and *respected* instead of attacked, that was totes okay? When Stephanie Zvan gets very, very angry if you use any form of her name but the one she approves of, then justifies calling Richard Dawkins "Dick" because after all, "Dick" is an approved diminutive of "Richard", that's not hypocritical at all. When Benson, Canuck, Zvan and all the rest go on and on about how threats are bad and evil, and yet when one of their own makes one against another freethought blogger, the only fallout is to reluctantly not allow him to blog there anymore? Not ban him from the site. He just can't create *new* blogs there anymore. Even worse, they straight-updefended him as RIGHT in making that threat. That's not hypocritical either? Ophelia continually castigates anyone using gendered insults, but when she uses "bitchez" and "pricks" it's okay. Ophelia moderates the hell out of her blog, but if anyone DARES moderate one of her comments on THEIR blog, SOUND THE ALARM! FREEZE PEACH!!! What then Michael? What is wrong no matter who does it? Tell us unequivocally, one tactic, one friggin' thing that is wrong no matter WHO does it? Because we've established it sure as hell isn't mansplaining, gendered insults, using the wrong version of someone's name as an insult, threats or moderation. It's also clearly not trying to harass people at their workplace in an attempt to silence them either. So what Michael? What is actually wrong no matter who does it?

2) You created this list to make it effectively impossible for Justin to actually coherently reply, and you then mislead like hell about the origins of the quotes. Let me show your words again:
I’m using examples that were published on The Slymepit website. I could add examples from Elevatorgate, YouTube and elsewhere, but I think there is enough here to be representative of the “nasty pushback” we are discussing. I’ve numbered them to make it easier for you to respond.
So the inference here is clear: these are all slymepit originated comments. Except for 21:
I skipped to the end of the current conversation and became acquainted with a commenter named [named person] who apparently doesn’t like [named person] very much–based on the fact that he concluded his comment with the phrase ‘Fuck her. Fuck her. Kill her. Dump her in a ditch’. This actually did get some negative attention from the mod and a couple of other posters. That was at 11PM PST last night. This morning, the offensive phrase that I reproduced above has been miraculously modified to read “Kiss her. Kiss her. Kiss her. Kiss her on the cheeks”.
That didn't originate in the 'pit, did it. Nope. In fact, the actual origin of the comment is from FTB, specifically:

http://freethoughtblogs.com/lousycanuck ... ent-101295

It's still there as of me writing this comment. The quoted comment is not one originated by anyone on the 'pit. It first shows up in the 'pit when Renee Hendricks quotes it. Why Michael? Why obfuscate the actual origin of that quote? Especially since more than a few people in the 'pit, including one who is an out and proud MRA thought it was a fair and balanced comment. Oh, wait...I bet that's it, right?

You had a chance to be honest about that quote Michael and point out it didn't originate in the 'pit, but rather was quoted by someone in the 'pit commenting on it.

But you didn't. Instead you left it there as if it had *originated* in the 'pit. As you did with other comments. This shows I think a fundamental dishonesty in your approach, and a desire to obfuscate things so as to create the "proper" narrative.

I would also note that in general, these are tactics used by creationists and fundamentalists when they attack evolution and atheists and are, in general, condemned. So why is it now *okay* for you to do this?

Why is it okay for you to use the same tactics you would call out someone for using against you?

I cannot read your mind, but I will say this: This kind of thing, this "it's okay when we do it" thought is not new. In fact, there's a group that has turned it into a rather sick art form: Scientology, and "Fair Game". We are your "Suppressive Persons" right? So all the ethics and proper treatment you would normally demand doesn't apply, does it. After all, we're just members of the 'pit. We're the SPs. Whatever tactic you use against us is okay, right?

You certainly have that option. It is, sadly, a 'right' of sorts. But don't expect me, or many other people to think of this post, or you, as anything else but deceitful and dishonest when you do such things. Don't expect us to seriously think that you are acting in any form of good faith when you use deceit to make your case. The fact you use "nice", "proper" language doesn't change any of that.

If Justin choses to respond to you as you wish him to, that's his choice. We've already warned him that he's charlie brown thinking that this time, lucy won't yank away the football. He's a grown-assed adult, he can take that risk if he wants.

But he doesn't speak for anyone but himself. And as for me, I think you should be ashamed of what you tried to do with this post.

Cheers!

It's amazing what little gems this technique reveals
surlyramics made me a custom necklace with a totally cute porcupine and the word “insert” underneath it. I get compliments on it every time I wear it
How sweet. :roll:
It might be violent rape threat on a necklace.
But at least it's not fake.

If Michael Nugent is reading this I will gladly explain the context to the remark I made that he quotes on his list of bad things slymepitters say.
The unnamed with the "oral hygiene problem" is Rebecca Watson. The remark ends with "Meow Becky".
RW had just made a really catty remark about Harriet Hall's hygiene and my post was made to parody her nasty slight, an example of tit for tat pushback that "victims of internet abuse" get.
Apparently you will ask Watson why she thought it was appropriate to make that comment about HH when she comes over to Ireland to talk about internet misogyny, or will you just give her a pass?
Surely you don't want people to think you are a dishonest hypocrite.

I just took Aneris' post with the table too. I hope no one minds. I provided a link back to this thread for context.
