That is a possibility. Type out the first post and use the incognito mode on a chrome browser to make the troll post then send them both simultaneously and have a reply ready in notepad to cut and paste. I am not saying that something like this did not happen, but it seems a little to sophisticated and if she was going to go to so much trouble creating this plan to make drama I think she would have realised that she does not need to have the reply to the troll post ready to go. Maybe a friend made the troll post and she had already seen it before it was sent so she had time to mentally compose a response.franc wrote: Perhaps. Perhaps a copy-n-paste party. Unless TF coughs up logs, chances of knowing truth is nil. Writing a coherent 50 word reply in 60 seconds is not an easy task even for non-baboons. And the bit about advertising to the world she finally has a job...
I am thinking she was feeding an obvious troll. As soon as she started posting the possibility of a troll appearing was high. As for her typing speed, some of her other responses on the board were quite snappy and I don't think she is slow witted. /speculation

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I just realized the comparisons between the two occurrences - "Tom" was talking about getting harassed by atheists, and so do the Skepchicks and their groupies. Both have the same amount of evidence (well, I think there were a few cases that have been confirmed, so their is a bit more evidence for the sexism bit, but it's blown way out of proportion). Does this make PZ the Chris Mooney of Watsongate?Guest wrote:Jean said the "Tom Johnson" story was "doubtful but not disconfirmed" suggesting that stuff like this does happen.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Tempting, but probably because the morphology really is a fully populated spectrum – somewhat arbitrary then where the line is drawn. For instance, as an extreme case, maybe somewhat hypothetical, it seems a “woman†can have XX and a certain set of attributes while a “man†can have XY and virtually the same set of attributes. Not an easy thing to define as suggested by this from the same article:Badger3k wrote:Then don't use chromosomes. Why not go with the morphology?

And with psychologists involved? What the hell does it mean to talk of how men and women feel about anything? Normal within one or two standard (or not so standard) deviations? Chasing our tails in more ways than one.Nowadays, gender verification tests typically involve evaluation by gynecologists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and internal medicine specialists.
But that’s why it seems to be tempting to simply rely, as I did, on the chromosomes – nice, neat, clearly defined line in the sand. Although I gather that even in that area there are other factors in play as, apparently, it is only a portion of the Y chromosome that manifests various male attributes.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Mooney et. al. were attempting to allege that there is a real problem in the atheist community in regards to outspoken atheists being rude and insulting friendly religious people willy nilly... just as Watson et. al. are attempting to paint a picture of a cabal of evil misogynist atheists trying to "put women in their place". There are lots of stories, but no substance; anecdotes are elevated to evidence used to tar a group of individuals (atheists) that are already much maligned by the general public.
In both cases a group of people see themselves as crusaders against some nebulous evil that doesn't seem to exist to any significant extent. In both cases, the actions of internet trolls were confused and/or intertwined with bigger names in atheism. Just as Jerry Coyne "became" the catalyst for rude atheists in Tom Johnson Stories, DJ Grothe,ThunderfOOt etc. are to be blamed for the "thousands of rape threats" directed at Skepchicks and all other offenses and perceived "misogyny" focused on those associated with FTB.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Yeah, I don't understand why people object to simply having a Men's Rights Movement [Disclaimer: I'm not an MRA myself]. Perhaps they could point out that MRAs are sometimes bad, or usually bad, or even always bad, but that wouldn't mean that just having an MRM is a bad idea.TFJ wrote:To paraphrase, she said something along the lines of "There's a men's right's movement, the thought makes me want to vomit".

The only argument I can think for that opinion is that women have it worse. I'm prepared to agree with that (I haven't studied it but it's the respectable position). But so what? All that proves is that feminism is a more pressing issue than 'masculism' or whatever. That doesn't mean that at least some people shouldn't try to ensure that men aren't discriminated against on certain issues. Just because some people have it worse, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to fix something (where have you heard that before?).

Assuming that that was more or less directed at me, I might point to something in that article:Notung wrote:Ok - uncharitable reading of Kazez, but you could say what I said in response to her real comment as well. Why the instinctive gag?
So presumably her “instinctive gag†was based on a conflation of “misogynistic loons†with “Men’s Rights Activistsâ€. Maybe a case of some problematic categorical thinking which, one might think, should be the last thing a philosopher should be guilty of.Elevator-gate made me see the atheist-crowd in a new light. I realized there wasn't just a possible tone problem in the atheosphere, but there were a lot of problems. For one, there are a lot of misogynistic loons. They say amazingly absurd and revolting things, and there are some fairly respectable people who give these people safe harbour. For another, there are people on the respectable feminist side who simplistically [use, champion] "us-them" situations, sweeping complexities under the rug. There's no way for me to position myself with respect to this mess, because I'm against the misogynistic loons, but also against the simplifications of the supposedly feminist side. So--STAY AWAY!
Although I note that she forthrightly identified the problem of:
Which probably didn’t win her many friends on the Skepchick and FTB side of the fence ....... people on the respectable [quote, unquote] feminist side who simplistically [use, champion] "us-them" situations, sweeping complexities under the rug.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Yes, I think she's mainly on 'our side' but disagrees with a lot of the stuff that is also on 'our side'. That could apply to other people too - for instance Russell Blackford doesn't like a certain 'c' word and D4M10N agrees with RW on elevatorgate...
I think I'm a similar case. Sometimes I see things on Twitter from 'our side' that make me shake my head.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I know all of those things, but I wonder if it might look like a blemish on your record. Of course, posting on an MRA site (and I do think there's some misogyny there, even if Astrokid disagrees) doesn't make you an MRA, but if I didn't know better and saw that you'd written an article on there, it would look as if you are an MRA and a participant in the sort of misogyny that goes on there. You aren't, of course.justinvacula wrote:I don't identify as an MRA or necessarily agree with all of their views. A Guest post give my views, not theirs.

I'm not saying don't do it - I'm saying be careful that it isn't used against you. Perhaps say at the beginning (without being nasty to the MRAs) that you're not an MRA yourself, or something like that.

Whatever merits there may be in the post in which that photo was used, it would seem to be rather dicey to argue that it was “fair useâ€.justinvacula wrote:Well, I can't say I am surprised. Stephanie Zvan fails to rebuke those who use DMCA claims which lead to censorship. At least she provided links to my posts and used my name unlike 'Canuck.' Will one Freethought Blogs blogger defend me and rebuke persons for filing DMCA claims at their critics? Whether you love me, hate me, or are indifferent, DMCA filing is repugnant. ...and is 'Surly Amy' really going to take me to court because I used a photo?

WOAH! He used a photo of a pendant? Shit just got real….
Amy needs to get a life. This shit is blatantly fair use.
But alas, it looks like Stefunny was quick to ban him: http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamo ... ent-109666
I’ll agree that DMCA use can be repugnant, but not necessarily so. But it might help matters, at least in the Girl Writes What case, if people using that method have to identify themselves rather than doing it anonymously ....

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Have any of you guys seens this insanity on Twitter. It ends with Opheliar saying linking the term "virulent" with "feminism" (even a certain type of feminism as specified) is "misogynist.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Marcotte is a fuckwit.
What has the pussy riot case got to do with feminism? What because they have tits? The pussy riot case is all about the right to protest, offend! and free speech, something benson marcotte and the rest of the fftb fuckwits oppose.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Here's a bit of intellectualism courtesy of Stephanie Zwan
She actually thinks that you will be done for perjury if it the court decides against you.there’s a reason people almost never file counter-notices unless advised to by an attorney. You don’t have to just be sincere in thinking you have the right to use the image. You have to be right.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
It's called framing the discussion/debate/issue. Some Feminists are attempting to shut down MRAs by framing them all as 'misogynistic loons' as she puts it. Or they are all PUAs. Or they are all slimey and they all meet in the slimepit. It's a political tool of propaganda.Steersman wrote:Assuming that that was more or less directed at me, I might point to something in that article:Notung wrote:Ok - uncharitable reading of Kazez, but you could say what I said in response to her real comment as well. Why the instinctive gag?
So presumably her “instinctive gag†was based on a conflation of “misogynistic loons†with “Men’s Rights Activistsâ€. Maybe a case of some problematic categorical thinking which, one might think, should be the last thing a philosopher should be guilty of.Elevator-gate made me see the atheist-crowd in a new light. I realized there wasn't just a possible tone problem in the atheosphere, but there were a lot of problems. For one, there are a lot of misogynistic loons. They say amazingly absurd and revolting things, and there are some fairly respectable people who give these people safe harbour. For another, there are people on the respectable feminist side who simplistically [use, champion] "us-them" situations, sweeping complexities under the rug. There's no way for me to position myself with respect to this mess, because I'm against the misogynistic loons, but also against the simplifications of the supposedly feminist side. So--STAY AWAY!
Personally I am not a fan of either Feminism or MRAism extremes. )I'm still that crazy Quixotic idealist) I've seen abuses of both misandry and misogyny, and as I have said before, extremes suck. Simplistic us-them situations suck. I read both feminist and mens rights blogs to try to get a more balanced view.
