Actually, you're right. It was CONCERN TROLLING. My bad. concern troll A person who lurks, then posts, on a site or blog, expressing concern for policies, comments, attitudes of others on the site.

When my brother was telling me all this crap, I started to wonder why the higher-ups couldn't see the obvious flaws in their amazing plans (giving free stuff for nothing = bad, expecting tech people to act as sellers = bad, changing ERP software withour exhaustive testing = DOUPLE PLUS UNGOOD JUJU!...

From a European perspective, where we don't see individual achievements of your local politicians but a â€œbird's eyeâ€ overview of the general trends, general profiles etc. the GOP looks batshit crazy unvote-able as of now.

During the PA State Atheist/Humanist Conference, I encountered absolutely zero hostility from conference attendees - much unlike the experience with the WIS2 crowd. Additionally, noone from FTB or Skepchick were invited to speak. What I did hear, though, from several people, is that they are sick o...

No, that was with full intent and I am fully aware that I was taking a cheap shot and associating you with an invidious. However, I am also fed to the bit with one-line replies, deliberate failures to respond rationally or to take any attempt to smooth things over, and don't see any point in trying...

Much better than your idea of "lets fuck people right here and now". Tell me Prussian, is this where you are responding to someone other than me, or did you make an error? If so, no problem, I just asked you to show me where *I* said that, if you did not mean to respond to me in that way, fine. jus...

There's also another thing here: worrying about what conditions will be like in 2100 today is a complete and utter waste of time. My grandmother of blessed memory, was alive in 1913.

You never bother to even try to answer my points rationally, why should I bother to respond other than in kind? Oh, and several of your compadres have said in so many words that the poor getting wealth is a Bad Thing. Show me where I have said that? I was merely pointing out the absurdity of your s...

According to our Heroine of the One Truth , Stefunny InZvanity, when Loftus says: In a personal email to me Shermer categorically denies these accusations.

The Pit slows down and, like clockwork, the morality brigade are back. I don't really take a position on the "where's the line?" question but, now that you mention The Pit slowing a bit, where the hell is Sacha? I just realized she's been MIA for what seems like weeks. It could just be what happene...

Another way of looking at it is "tone trolling"? Whatever. However, I think I see the point being that we "should" focus more on the ideas being presented rather than some physical characteristics such as facial features. The former being something the individual is responsible for and should be wi...

Well that seemsâ€¦ stupid? And call me paranoid, but I wouldn't give money to someone who's collecting it on behalf of someone else that they don't know, they apparently have no connection to, and hasn't asked for it . I might that, at least initially, but the guy isn't trying to remain anonymous. ...

gawd damn! I go on a short vacation and the pit spits out like 40 pages of stuff... oh well, see you guys in a few days when I catch up...

In some other news, Chivas USA("soccer" club in LA, part of MLS) was just a subject of an investigation by HBO's outside the lines.

Maybe it's just me but I think FTB is just too shit and predictable to bother with nowadays and half the time they're relying on this place to keep their shitty blogs on life support. If the Pit closed I'd miss a lot of the personalities on here but does this place really have a point anymore? Not ...

Without any objective reason, Lsuoma has relegated me to a single forum, preventing me from posting on the main thread, where nearly all of the discussion and lurking takes place. You were warned multiple times by the admin that not changing your behavior would result in this. Rather than discuss i...

So yeah, I'm pretty upset that the pit was down. Here's why. I can only see two reasons the Lsuoma would shut it down. The first is if he thinks that there would likely be something posted while he was away that he'd have to moderate. I can't see why he would think this, except if he'd decided to t...

It was down for what? 90 minutes, max? eat lunch, get some work done, read an article, but fucking relax.

Yes. I fully understand that some people needed a free-speech zone to vent, but I am fucking sick of it. Eating lemon curd and watching 'Luther'. Are you up to date, or watching previous seasons?

The Daily Shows take on the Zimmerman case: â€œIt's rare that the Daily Show slips out of satire and into anger. This is one of those times â€ via Upworthy. Indeed. I'm disappointed in the Daily Show, they usually go against the herd, focus on lazy/dishonest journalism, etc. This time they chose t...

Are we still on Zimmerman? Last I heard the Feds have set up a tip line and are looking to prosecute him for a hate crime. Just what kind of justice system are the American running down there? I dunno, but it is starting to look like the kind we have here in Canukistan. I am feeling ashamed that I ...

He did not look particularly well built to me, 160~ pounds seems totally believable, and no one factors how tall you are in shoes, what the fuck is that? You know, I think I'd like to get back to the science and potty humor on this stream. Why don't you come over to my blog and tell me exactly how ...

Firstly, like I said..I have not been following the case..but I have been following the reactions to the verdict. And I checked some of T.M.'s history on wikipedia. "Trayvon Martin Height 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) Weight 158 pounds (72 kg) Make that 6'0" at least in shoes (as listed in the initial police...

By the way: I've had Amanda Marcotte call me a jerk. I wear that as a badge of honor. I could care less about Renee when she can't even be bothered to give someone she knows shit all about the benefit of the doubt. George Zimmerman and the Zimmerman family have suffered tremendously over the past y...

Zimmerman's actions immediately prior to the shooting make him an asshole. He clearly got in over his head in that situation and should have known better. I sometimes call people who do dumb things assholes. Did I offend your sensibilities again?[/quote] Fair enough. He might have been dumb. I don'...

As far as physical evidence of who was on top of who: Zimmerman's clothes had grass stains on the back of them. Trayvon's did not. The grass was wet. Case closed on that. Most people here have made no actual claim as to what happened. So what the fuck is your actual problem? People have discussed t...

Ok, your post came while I was writing mine. I accept that you don't think that TM deserved to die for allegedly assaulting GZ. You ask whether GZ had the right to defend himself in the way he did. Maybe under Florida law that right has been given to him. Where I come from, and my own ethics hold, ...

Actually, there was at least one witness who saw Zimmerman on top. AFTER the gunshot. Which backed up his testimony. Of course she didn't know what his testimony was when she gave her police statement. Funny thing that I've followed the trial and you haven't. Am I going to have to walk you through ...

And ahh...the "grass" issue. Zimmerman's testimony was that after he shot Martin, Martin fell off of him onto the grass on his stomach. Zimmerman said he spread his hands to check for weapons. He only claimed that Martin said "you got me" before falling off him. The State tried to make a big deal a...

...Really? Even if they are pounding your head into concrete for 30 plus seconds while you are screaming for help and struggling to get away? Clarence, take your watch and time thirty seconds. Imagine having your head "pounded into concrete" for that long. Unless you're Brock Lesnar Samson you'd be...

I think people here are forgetting (as was made clear in the trial) it was PITCH DARK. Also, all this stuff happened FAST. the entire 'scuffle', 'fight, (whatever you wanna call it though there's no evidence that Zimmerman landed so much as a single punch on Martin) lasted just over a minute.

<snip>. Nice post and I pretty much agree.

Last week I stayed up past my bedtime to catch Ben Wheatley's A F...

But I am sure it does happen more often than you think Mykeru, we "normies" just call it emotional abuse. No, we normies call it "reminded of an unpleasant memory". Not to downgrade PSTD flashbacks, but seriously, the people who go on about "triggers" usually don't have PSTD. They are just a less c...

Do the sufferers of PTSD claim they are the same thing - or do they claim it's to the same effect? Can someone give an example of some "deliberately triggering" someone else? No, I'm not asking for a hypothetical, I can figure those out myself. No idea, but just to point out that Remick seems to me...

Because they have no problems attacking people that way.
