In addition to the seriouspit linked above, there is also a new crassless thread started by Submariner here: http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=255 The urge to post a fart joke is almost overpowering. I wonder if the seriouspit is serious enough and if we'll need other flavors of 'pit. Maybe a somberpit for sad occasions, and a soberpit for when the candy vodka drinkers get out of hand, etc.

Hey, I resemble that remark (where's my fuckin' candy cane vodka?)!

Seriously though, screw this "seriouspit" bullshit. Redundancy for the sake of being "polite". Not my bag.

All this argueing about tone and creating a 'less rude' place? Do people here not see the parallels with FTB starting A+? Seriously, I am shocked that you appear to be falling into the same trap. Look, who is going to decide what is permissable?
The strength of this place is its openness, its allowing of all views / approaches. It's not for everbody, but thats fine, there are other places for them. This place is vital, it performs its task, it has its place. Please don't change it

*I'm* falling into the same trap? I'm thinking you meant LMU, right?

i mean anyone wgo's argueing for moderation or creating 'safe places'. That obviously nt you.

We've not interacted before, but i do hope it goes well for your hubby.

I'm glad that PUA guy got arrested.

I'm glad that PUA guy got arrested.

Why?

Instead of acting like a regular human being, that little pecker thought that inter-human interaction might have some kind of konami cheat-code. He is a fucking idiot, and I like hearing about bad things happening to idiots.

You don't have to guess, PZ's reaction is here:

http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ ... and-timid/

I think A) covers it. He decided the talk was just a smug skeptic disparaging atheists/atheism. Really.

Anybody surprised?

Bit by bit, he's becoming everything he purports to hate. In this instance, he's the Bill Donohue of atheism.

He can't control himself with the comic sans, can he? Regardless how reasonable the person he takes issue with is, quote-mining alone won't do - he must set his slack-jawed commentariat on ridicule mode.

The Comic Sans stuff can be funny. I use it myself when i'm bagging on an idiot.

It's just that PeeZus is a shitty writer.

[welch]

Well....planet atheism just removed my blog because I am too critical of PZ Myers. Funny how that works. Great job PZ you got yourself to the position where your lies and bullshit are more acceptable than another person's opinion and the truth. I'm so pleased you are on our side we need people like you to help us fight the lies and unfairness religion represents so we can replace it with lies and unfairness your ego represents. I'm telling you, PZ Myers is a mole for the christians or the biggest dick on the planet....maybe both. Interesting to note the most censorship I ever encountered has been from the FTB/ A+ associated people and that is a fact.

That sucks. So write off those spineless non-skeptics and go to Skepticink, or Patheos.

Adam Lee just moved to Patheos. I'm certain he would extend a welcoming hand! :whistle:

Who'd be less welcome:

Reap at Patheos
Me at FTB

GO!

A least now you can say to any stalker you originated a forum that houses the internets craziest collection of psycopaths, rapists, and terrorists, so they better back the fuck off.

Hell, yeah!
if anyone stalks a pitter, we'll photoshop their pictures and mention them on twitter! a lot!

Is that really what he thought? I admit I haven't watched the video (I tend not to watch any youtube video more than a few minutes long, exceptions are great videos by Mykeru and others), but I thought PUA techniques were more about confidence-building and practice, rather than cheat codes that work for everyone. Though I imagine that there are some quirks that work with a lot of people (like IIRC Richard Feynman's observation that women were more likely to go home with him if he did NOT pay for their dinner).

You don't get to define "regular human acting" according to some ethical code or taboo you just pulled out of your arse. The only valid set of rules to inform an arrest should be the law.

Secondly, by your own standards, anyone who consults the love column of the horoscope should be arrested for "cheating". Get a fucking grip.

That doesn't even make sense deicus. Inter-human interaction is pretty much defined by there being another person. Not just a piece of paper that congratulates you on being a gemini.

By now it's a very old joke, which makes some sense when applied to creationist loons.

What the hell happened to Australia? When we spent some time there back in 2007 we fell in the love with the place and started plotting to move there.
Fast forward six years and you have a Prime Minister who could easily be the Down Uner correspondent for SkepChick (SkepShelia?) and a Leader of the Opposition who is apparently Rick Santorum doing a funny accent.

My guess is that you have never heard of of the RadFem hub, their secret forum and the Agent Orange files.

If you were aware that apparently the Australian government has policy advisers and other actors of influence who subscribe to sentiments found on the RadFem hub you would not be surprised.

This is not the first time the subject has come up. You do need to read what I posted here:
viewtopic.php?p=14561#p14561

And you do need to read what Scented Nectar posted here:
viewtopic.php?p=14566#p14566

For added accessibility here are the links that Scented Nectar gave us:

Ok, here we go. From oldest article to newest, here are some posts regarding separatists, and I included some of my own history since much of my cult time was as a separatist. Here they are:

Why'd I Leave Radical Feminism Years Ago?
http://scentednectar.blogspot.com/2011/ ... s-ago.html

Nuke Thinks Sexual Orientation is a Choice!
http://scentednectar.blogspot.com/2011/ ... on-is.html

The Agent Orange Files
http://scentednectar.blogspot.com/2011/ ... files.html

RadfemSpeak Exposed (Agent Orange Files)
http://scentednectar.blogspot.com/2012/ ... files.html

So, whatever you view is about MRAs and/or Radfems, ignoring both as hysterical twaddle or whatever, the Aussies do have a problem, and that is the reality today.

Does anyone want to draw any parallels between the baboons and the radfems and what happens when ideologs get to set the agenda? Personally, I believe it is not difficult to see some very unpleasent posibilities.

One of the reasons I suspect that we are going to see some very unpleasant consequences over the next 40-80 years. And I will not be surprised if some are pretty extreme.

[decius]

I'm glad you brought that up, gives me an inroad here:

the behavior you are pissed at PeeZus et al about as used against us, as you just said, is the exact.same.thing he did against creationists. There's no difference. In fact, I find it somewhat amusing that so many people were fine when it was directed against people they disapproved of, but when they're the target OMGWTFBBQKHAAAAAAN!!!1111

What did you honestly think would happen when you started calling those idiots out? That they'd somehow not be who and what they are? That somehow the scorpion would sense the innate awesomeness of the frog and not sting him? That Lucy would not pull the football away? Why would you think that?

HOW would you think that? PeeZus et all cheerfully used the rather sad tactic of niggerization against their enemies, and you thought that was a unique case only reserved for creationists?

Did you actually think that you (collective) were special? That you had some deeper meaning to an egomaniacal putz like Myers? That at the first sign of dissent, self-centered goons like Watson, Benson, Zvan and the rest wouldn't turn on you too?

They have not changed their behavior one fucking bit, the "problem" is that you (collectively) are now the target, not Dinesh D'shitstain.

For as smart, (and many of you are in one way), and rational as you think yourself to be, the fact you didn't realize that they treat *everyone* they see as an enemy or even in disagreement this way shows just how blind you were. The fact you were all in the same group guaranteed you fuck all nothing, and it was a grave overestimation of loyalty based solely on a loose binding to a rather in-cohesive group that allowed you to think that.

If someone treats enemies as PeeZus, Watson, benson, et al do, do not ever think, for a fucking microsecond that if they decide you are also an enemy, that they will even consider not attacking you in the same way. As well, do not ever consider that you possess some privileged status that renders you safe from being an enemy. Just ask Justin Griffith.

If you base it on IP, you can come close. (I'M IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. There, saved him some work)

the problem of course is that IP geolocation is really unreliable. For example, at Macworld, the WiFi was provided by an outfit out of chicago. Good setup, nice and fast and reliable. But, because their netblock is owned by a company in Chicago, people who use location services that rely on IP geolocation had their laptops thinking it was 2 hours later than it was.

So it is reliable more often than not, but it's not HIGHLY reliable.

Nathan Phelps did it. I'm sure she can too (and her sister). I can't imagine how very isolated they both must feel, however. Having your entire life being wrapped up in that family and then to be cut off and treated as though you had died.

[DeepInsideYourMind]

I have a pic of the individual I accused of stalking me (we never went to court because the sheriffs office couldnt find him), I wish I could share it will you all. He is terrifying. I was awarded a series of emergency VPOs (which was difficult because I did not know this guy/his name/anything-- not knowing who your stalker is is rare, and the forms/protocols reflect that) by OK judges after I reported how he would show up at my home drunk in the middle of the night, trying to gain entrance to my apartment, followed me to/from work, was sending me insane letters, relating stories of 'dates' we went on to people in our neighborhood (never happened), etc etc etc etc etc. Over this series of events (month after month after month), I lost ~25 pounds, I didnt sleep, and I had to mourn Arnies death (I knew if dude broke in, the first thing he would do is kill Arnie) and prepare to kill another human, and forgive myself for doing so. When things were at their worst, the campus police were escorting me home every night (in an unmarked car, with bulletproof vests and shotguns).

A couple weeks ago, years later at this point, I saw a guy drive by my house in a brand new orange Mustang who looked exactly like the guy I accused of stalking me. There is no way in hell it was him, but dude looked enough like him that my adrenalin went through the roof. I got a migraine last night, but I was afraid to take my new meds because the potential side-effect profile looks just like my panic attacks, so I just took my old dope and dealt with it.

This is the person who is 'stalking' Melody Hensley. By bringing up some stupid ass shit Melody said on Twitter, and will not apologize for (this all could have been resolved immediately if she had said 'Youre right, that was catty and sexist. Im sorry.', alas...).

Fuck you, Melody. Fuck. You. Fuck. You.

I genuinely hope nothing bad ever happens to you in your psycho princess life because it is clear that you could not handle it.

Yep - that about sums it up. I know women who have *actually* been stalked, actually had their apartments broken into, and actually been raped, beaten and left for dead.

It's fucking insulting to real victims of harassment and stalking to equate getting tweets and emails that offend you, with being stalked and threatened

From what I can discern from her post, I don't think she'll give up religion. But at least she's realized that her family is doing nothing but harm. That's one giant step in the right direction. I don't think she'll get to the same point as Nathan Phelps. As you said, if she spends her life helping people, I'm hoping it will be those who were in her crosshairs.

I think the essential difference between you and me, is that I would be amused if something like that did indeed happen to our "psycho princess". So far I have always been amused when the biter is bit. I regard that sort of thing as poetic justice.

In any event, I have observed that over time, some people tend to inflict the sort of punishment they deserve upon themselves. One can hope anyway.

Although irrelevant to your points, I never posted at Peezus's but I used to read his blog fairly regularly. I never liked the atmosphere in the comment section.

I think there's a difference between ridiculing an intellectual opponent and considering someone an enemy. There's a spectrum of ignorance and there's a spectrum of smugness. Creationists score high on both scales, so it isn't entirely unjustified to ridicule them, just like we ridicule Peezus, here.

There's certainly no equivalence with implying that educated and intelligent people are idiots, simply because they disagree with us.

However, I take your point that the man has always lacked in the style department.

I suspect that this is a "hot" button for you, and that if in future I wish to wind you up, all I have to do is push it.

What I am curious about however, and assuming that you are not trolling is why did you react the way you did? This is a genuine question BTW.

Is it for example, the implication that at some level people have involuntary triggers that at heart make us no different from other animals?

How did I react? By owning the living shit out of you and deicus. I'd do that anyway.

What the hell happened to Australia? When we spent some time there back in 2007 we fell in the love with the place and started plotting to move there.
Fast forward six years and you have a Prime Minister who could easily be the Down Uner correspondent for SkepChick (SkepShelia?) and a Leader of the Opposition who is apparently Rick Santorum doing a funny accent.

My guess is that you have never heard of of the RadFem hub, their secret forum and the Agent Orange files.

If you were aware that apparently the Australian government has policy advisers and other actors of influence who subscribe to sentiments found on the RadFem hub you would not be surprised.

This is not the first time the subject has come up. You do need to read what I posted here:

And you do need to read what Scented Nectar posted here:

Ok, here we go. From oldest article to newest, here are some posts regarding separatists, and I included some of my own history since much of my cult time was as a separatist. Here they are:

So, whatever you view is about MRAs and/or Radfems, ignoring both as hysterical twaddle or whatever, the Aussies do have a problem, and that is the reality today.

Does anyone want to draw any parallels between the baboons and the radfems and what happens when ideologs get to set the agenda? Personally, I believe it is not difficult to see some very unpleasent posibilities.

One of the reasons I suspect that we are going to see some very unpleasant consequences over the next 40-80 years. And I will not be surprised if some are pretty extreme.

I'm familiar with the RedFemHub / Agent Orange files episode but it didn't seem, from my brief time down there that these loons, could have much actual influence on Australian society which, in turn, helped explain the level of crazy on display.
Then I start hearing about proposed laws that sound like they've been written by The Baboon Collective and I have to wonder.
Where I disagree is that this stuff will lead to the downfall of civilization. I think that's en route anyway, propelled by other causes, and will arrive before the mounting bill from the RadFems comes due.
When the Peezus hits the fan, all the gender politics will evaporate rather swiftly.

I think once Fred Phelps finally bites it there's gonna be some conflicts within their little cult. Get your popcorn ready folks!

No worries there. Plenty of folks to get the torch.

I'm glad that PUA guy got arrested.

Why?

Instead of acting like a regular human being, that little pecker thought that inter-human interaction might have some kind of konami cheat-code. He is a fucking idiot, and I like hearing about bad things happening to idiots.

Well, if the women he attracts are anything to go by, bad things happen to him. I mean, who the fuck goes through your camera/phone/wallet/purse/whatever when you leave it with them for a few minutes? If every, or even most, of the women he uses that trick on do that, then they are likely playing him just as much as he's playing them. If someone were to do that to my belongings when my back's turned, they could fuck off and die. I certainly wouldn't be able to maintain a wet-on for them after that.

For as smart, (and many of you are in one way), and rational as you think yourself to be, the fact you didn't realize that they treat *everyone* they see as an enemy or even in disagreement this way shows just how blind you were. The fact you were all in the same group guaranteed you fuck all nothing, and it was a grave overestimation of loyalty based solely on a loose binding to a rather in-cohesive group that allowed you to think that.

I am quite ready to go with an abnormality in the hippocampus, specifically centred around the amygdala as an explanation for this type of behaviour myself.

(note: I am not an expert in this field. You would be wise to take this opinion with a sack of salt.)

How much would it take for you to phone the police scented? I mean, i've approached probably hundreds of women, and a lot of the time it's gone badly. Never to the point they phoned the cops though.

I'll ask you because Cunt is a cunt and the video too long.

Did the PUA touch someone without consent or was he just chatting up ladies?

I'm glad you brought that up, gives me an inroad here:

the behavior you are pissed at PeeZus et al about as used against us, as you just said, is the exact.same.thing he did against creationists. There's no difference. In fact, I find it somewhat amusing that so many people were fine when it was directed against people they disapproved of, but when they're the target OMGWTFBBQKHAAAAAAN!!!1111

What did you honestly think would happen when you started calling those idiots out? That they'd somehow not be who and what they are? That somehow the scorpion would sense the innate awesomeness of the frog and not sting him? That Lucy would not pull the football away? Why would you think that?

HOW would you think that? PeeZus et all cheerfully used the rather sad tactic of niggerization against their enemies, and you thought that was a unique case only reserved for creationists?

Did you actually think that you (collective) were special? That you had some deeper meaning to an egomaniacal putz like Myers? That at the first sign of dissent, self-centered goons like Watson, Benson, Zvan and the rest wouldn't turn on you too?

They have not changed their behavior one fucking bit, the "problem" is that you (collectively) are now the target, not Dinesh D'shitstain.

For as smart, (and many of you are in one way), and rational as you think yourself to be, the fact you didn't realize that they treat *everyone* they see as an enemy or even in disagreement this way shows just how blind you were. The fact you were all in the same group guaranteed you fuck all nothing, and it was a grave overestimation of loyalty based solely on a loose binding to a rather in-cohesive group that allowed you to think that.

If someone treats enemies as PeeZus, Watson, benson, et al do, do not ever think, for a fucking microsecond that if they decide you are also an enemy, that they will even consider not attacking you in the same way. As well, do not ever consider that you possess some privileged status that renders you safe from being an enemy. Just ask Justin Griffith.

Although irrelevant to your points, I never posted at Peezus's but I used to read his blog fairly regularly. I never liked the atmosphere in the comment section.

I think there's a difference between ridiculing an intellectual opponent and considering someone an enemy. There's a spectrum of ignorance and there's a spectrum of smugness. Creationists score high on both scales, so it isn't entirely unjustified to ridicule them, just like we ridicule Peezus, here.

There's certainly no equivalence with implying that educated and intelligent people are idiots, simply because they disagree with us.

However, I take your point that the man has always lacked in the style department.

Welch's point I believe is that PZ has always been a vindictive, small-minded asshole. No one should be surprised that he is now directing his venom towards targets within the atheist/skeptic community.
