Anywho, I'll also use this opportunity to eat crow and write: Damn, EBW is really a pretty kickass skeptic.

No shit. She may have brought the crazy from time to time, but her willingness to face facts here is admirable.

Stephalump would rather swallow a bollock than do do something like EBW has that might diminish her perceived power and/or influence.

It's funny because I kind of followed her pretty soon after she was thrown from the train. Her twitter feed over the weeks after that....you wouldn't even recognize the person.

Kind of shows you how dangerous their mindset is and how much it can affect one's thinking. I might not see eye to eye with her on everything, but that's OK. She seems more than happy to talk about things in good faith...and can anybody really ask for more?

(Besides. I'm going to say it. It's kind of adorable watching her and Subman talk on Twitter. They have a really cute banter between them)

Huh... I was unaware my comings and goings were worthy of comment. You live, you learn, I guess.

Some people have missed having you around, and some have expressed concern because your last posts indicated you were really sick. So yes, I thought a Rystefn sighting was worth mentioning here.

Oh, yeah. That's fair I guess. Several thousand dollars worth of medical bills later, I am breathing again, more or less without trouble. Crunched some numbers, and it would have been cheaper for me to take a vacation in the south of France and use their medical system. Probably would have been better for me mentally, too. Lesson learned. Next time, at first onset of symptoms, I take off and spend a few months lying on a beach somewhere pretty.

There's an insanely long comment in PZ's 'Vacula and Silverman' comment thread. This fecal-smearer moans about Justin editing and using Churchill's "the few" speech in his radio show. He thinks that it suggests the Baboons are, like, you know, NAZIS, or summat!!!

Lol indeed. The show notes say the intro is provided by G. The intro to shows, too, say G provided the intro music. Shows how much they know...

Professor Myers has, to the best of my knowledge, never published a rape threat or threat of violence against those he disagrees with. Yet he openly, unabashedly, unambiguously disavows those who do. These people are not his allies. (These are, incidentally, a subset of the people he criticises and bans from his blog)

Louis... you fucking idiot. For two years he's been lounging at Pharyngula, and he's telling us he's never seen the policy about the rotting porcupines and shoving them forcibly up people's behinds? Never?

Sure, his brain may have been rotting at the same time, but come the fuck on. For two years, and he's never seen instances like this?

I love the way he spends half his fucking comment explaining that the opening is a Churchill speech during the Battle of Britain. Note to Louis: It's a fucking joke, you idiot.

And by the way, Churchill was full of shit for at least part of that speech. The Brits wanted to bomb the shit out of German cities indiscriminately. It was us poor sod Americans who held off, until Roosevelt finally caved part way through the war. Then, of course, we went to town on everybody.

The Baboons are quickly finding out that when you attempt to silence people, they FIGHT BACK!

And their (potential) targets are quickly learning that the only power those twonks have evaporates like dry ice in the sun as soon as you shine that same sunlight on their bullshit. They're like every other form of blackmailer: once you decide "fuck omerta", they have nothing, because their *only* weapon, never mind "best" is silence. The silence of the people they intimidate into submission. Once you refuse to let them have that weapon, the quickly become the whining children they always were.

[aweraw]

In light of Silverman's propencity to require denouncement of behavior one finds abhorent, should we compose tweets which ask him to denounce each and every instance of unambiguous bullying from PZ, Svan, and the rest of the clown car? I doubt he'd acknowledge them, but bystanders who follow him might catch on, and read up about the people he's aligned himself with.

[sacha]

As far as I can tell, most US atheists kind of just fell into it. Which helps explain all the atheists who subscribe to all the other woo and stupidy-- homeopathy, acupuncture, climate change denial, AIDS denial, general science denial, alternate medicine, ghosts and other supernatural beliefs (that one puzzles me the most, how do you NOT believe in a God, BUT believe in ghosts... makes my head want to explode).

fixed that for you

wait. How does one "fall into" being an atheist?

Did you take classes in atheism? Do you think most people go out and study the issue? No, most people they have some sort of weak faith and stop going to church to watch football or whatever it is... Then they stop going... Then one day they come to the realization they don't really believe and never really did, but that they were going through the motions.

And those are those are the ones that at went to church. Most of my Euro/Oceanic friends don't even do that to become atheists. They, but for weddings and tourism, have never been in a church. It's not part of their lives. It's never been part of their lives. It will never be part of their lives. Not because of study or some great epiphany, rather they 'fell into atheism' because they never had the push to experience theism by their family who never went to church, believed in God, or any such stuff.

And, of course, there are my Chinese friends. All atheists. Most of them haven't a had a religious person in their family since WWII. And those that did were Ancestor Worship Chinese, not Christians...

It was an honest question. I was not having a go. To me, atheism is the default, so I can see one "falling into" some religion or dogmatic cult, but I wanted to make sure I understood you correctly, because it is a strange way of describing what you are referring to.

I'll let Ricky Gervais give an example:

(32.15 KiB) Downloaded 215 times

the part of your response that I have emphasized below and then rest of the paragraph in which you say

And those are those are the ones that at went to church. Most of my Euro/Oceanic friends don't even do that to become atheists. They, but for weddings and tourism, have never been in a church. It's not part of their lives. It's never been part of their lives. It will never be part of their lives. Not because of study or some great epiphany, rather they 'fell into atheism' because they never had the push to experience theism by their family who never went to church, believed in God, or any such stuff.

is exactly what I am referring to. If religion was never a part of one's life, how can they "fall into" being atheist?

how can one "fall into" any non-belief or non-hobby?

and:

Did you take classes in atheism? Do you think most people go out and study the issue?

how can one "take classes" and/or "study" an absence of belief in something.



also -

No, most people they have some sort of weak faith and stop going to church to watch football or whatever it is...

you recently said to Rayshul: "I'm sorry, but is this ironic? Or are you just that sheltered?"

it seems that you are the sheltered one.

and just because I want to make you aware of your consistent and relentless US-Centrism, does not mean that I don't respect your opinion when it comes to other things.

You have missed a staggering amount of lulz since you have been gone.



You just missed the sheninagans where Skep Tickle was slowly doxed by the FC(n) while they all denied it as they did it.

Stay tuned though as Justin "fucking douche" Vascular having recently been sponsored by the usual suspects in the Slymepit and others to attend the Women in Secularism con recently (babysitting service performed by a Paula "chill girl" Kirby) is now once again sponsored to attend some shindig in Ireland and he will be flying solo!

The con will be held in the same hotel where Rebecca "guys do not do that" Watson had a narrow escape in the now infamous elevator and we await with bated breath to see if elevator guy will perform an encore or will Watson use the stairs?

Oh... also Abbie came up with a significant breakthrough in the long march to find a cure for AIDs, she has her name on a paper and everything, but this is hardly worth mentioning and no one talks about it in light of these other more significant developments in the A/S community.

[sacha]

can I just say that I love the Slyme Pit? This place is surreal.

:mrgreen: Ladies, come to the Slymepit for your daily nugget of evidence-based women's health info! :mrgreen:

I think it's neat to share our experiences & tips about this stuff, and even to blather on about it (yep, that would be me), amidst the craziness in A/S, and arguments about whatever the topic-du-jour is. Freewheeling conversation FTW!

....and here on seven second delay from the coast...

I've been happily mired in an art show all weekend (good sales!) and it seems it has been a very busy weekend at the Pyt, too! Trying to catch up (Silverman has long been a major asshole and has been doing more harm than good - IMHO - for a while now. his 'performance' with Justin just confirmed my suspicions about that asshole in spades ) but wanted to comment on Sacha's and Skep tickles comments here, which I think are far more important than might be superficially apparent: Yes - the Pyt is an amazing place. the fact that the Pyt women can speak freely about personal topics like this without fear of male harassment (excluding good natured ribbing of course!) speaks volumes. I posit that this is the clearest, strongest, most irrefutable example of the freedom that exists at the Pyt regardless of gender and why I've grown so enamored of it.

Well done. :clap:

congratulations on your art sales.

It's even more than the ability to speak freely about personal topics

Why are men almost always shut out of these conversations? They have girlfriends, wives, daughters, female friends, sisters, and mothers.

FTB dropping someone's docs wasn't even news a year ago, so surprise they're still at it. I assume their steady denials were good for a laugh at their expense, though. "What? I would never post personal information about someone on the internet! Especially not this person (real name: <name>) who lives at <address>"

Be nice to see the fallout from Vacula's trip, though. Their responses to him are always comedy gold.

Oh, and I keep up with Abbie via the FaceBooks, so I knew that part. But still, it's good to know that there are people out there doing good work instead of just complaining on the internet, yeah?

I think it's more to do with how one is brought up....In my case I was exposed to "women's secret business" at an early age having lived in a two family houshold for a few years. There were enough babies in the house and there was no problem with me learning to do my share with nappy changing, child minding. My brother is 13 years young than me and I have a sister less than two years younger than me. My sister and I shared a room till she started her periods and my mum and aunt made it clear to me the underlying reasons why I was getting my own room...even if their approach was bordering on ribbing and teasing (at both of us). Same went for not being shunned away from discussions about periods, vaginas, and later menopause.

About 15 years ago I started going out with someone from a classy background and one day we went to visit her elder sister who had just had a baby. She starts changing the nappy and I moved in closer just out of curiosity of whether she used the one or two safety pin system ( with the agenda of manspalinging she's not doing it right...jokin). It later got back to me that she thought it was very unusual that I didn't go running away at the sight of a dirty nappy as her husband did. I thought it would be weird a bloke wouldn't be interested in something so simple as nappy changing.

Thankfully with my current partner nothing much is sacred..... not long ago she started making me cinnamon toast once she heard cinnamon makes sperm taste nicer and I said I was willing to experiment.

No squirmishness from here.... my sister is at that that age of menopause and she says I'm the only bloke she talks about it to. Her hubby doesn't want to know.

Funny world sometimes....

If there is a moral quality to Dench's work, it is interesting to speculate about its source. Brought up as a strict Quaker, she says of her faith "it's essential to my life and work", without elaborating. ...

... although the legion of Dench fans who've admired her ... would be pleased to learn she has a passion for needlework, they might be slightly surprised at its results. When she played in David Hare's Amy's View, she presented its author, notoriously aware of critical reaction, with an embroidered cushion stitched with the motto: "Fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em."

and does anyone know if it's true that Gelato Mio going out of business was a direct result of the "fuck-him-into-the-ground" carnival hosted by PZ Myers?

What? You don't think those types of shops qualify as cheap shots? As hitting below the belt? I kind of think them rather equivalent to PZ and Gelato Man - more of a Pyrrhic victory, potentially in any case, than not ....

There is plenty on both sides to which it applies to. But we are the good guys so anything we do is all for the greater good. Right?

(now watch someone take this the wrong way)

And the lies and harassment continue.

Sigh.

Hmm… disregarding the lie for a moment, isn't "being a jerk" and "being impervious to empathy" two of the cornerstones of PZ's definition of a "decent human being"?

I seem to recall some flack written at a site that reviewed his business that clearly was written by baboons so I doubt that helped. I believe I also read somewhere where he tried to explain how he came to write the sign in the first place.

I suspect he is probably not going to have a high regard for Atheists any time soon.

Yes last I heard he was out of business.

Today I learned SJWs come in flavors of narcissistic crazy much more intense than Skepchick-FTB-A+:

But I still don't see how that justifies you drowning puppies.

Rystefn just chipped in on EllenBeth's post.

Huh... I was unaware my comings and goings were worthy of comment. You live, you learn, I guess.

We talk about you all the time. Remember I sent you an email asking when you would be back?

Yeah, that was like three months back, I guess? Something like that. Anyway, blame Mykeru. He's been posting links back to the Pit for the last few days on Twatter, and that's how I saw Gumby's post, and I was bored, so I commented on his comment about my comment.

Because that's how I roll, motherfuckers.

You have missed a staggering amount of lulz since you have been gone.



You just missed the sheninagans where Skep Tickle was slowly doxed by the FC(n) while they all denied it as they did it.

Stay tuned though as Justin "fucking douche" Vascular having recently been sponsored by the usual suspects in the Slymepit and others to attend the Women in Secularism con recently (babysitting service performed by a Paula "chill girl" Kirby) is now once again sponsored to attend some shindig in Ireland and he will be flying solo!

The con will be held in the same hotel where Rebecca "guys do not do that" Watson had a narrow escape in the now infamous elevator and we await with bated breath to see if elevator guy will perform an encore or will Watson use the stairs?

Oh... also Abbie came up with a significant breakthrough in the long march to find a cure for AIDs, she has her name on a paper and everything, but this is hardly worth mentioning and no one talks about it in light of these other more significant developments in the A/S community.

T'was Karla Porter, not Paula Kirby. Thought I would point that out before all the FTBers who totally don't read the Pit ever, no seriously I mean it make a blog post out of it about OMG KIRBY.

Because they like, look totally the same and their names (I must have transposed KP with PK) d'Oh! :oops:

(I should go apologize to both of them I suppose, but with my luck both are going to be insulted so I should probably keep quite or go back and see if that edit button works). :shifty:
