If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

On that "Uncle Mary" link, there was this: Post 78 Greg Laden 14 December 2011 at 8:27 pm JT: Twice in my life have my employerâ€™s received complaints for my blogging. It was both times I blogged about Chris, including my piece today. People complained to your employer about your blogging? Were the...

Trophy I understand your points about PZ's online/offline behavior. Possible. But have you ever noticed how he goes to, let's call it an "unfriendly to PZ blog" and makes an obnoxious post or two and then disappears. Then he goes back to his blog where he's surrounded by sycophants and continues the...

Think the mods at RD.net will let this go? http://richarddawkins.net/news_articles/2012/9/3/egypt-s-sexual-harassment-of-women-epidemic#comment-638669261 This one? http://atheiststoday.com/images/dw_adams/mordacious1.jpg The mods finally woke up and deleted me. I'm sure OB complained since she post...

You know what really bugs the hell out of me about PZ? And this is not anything new, I'm sure most people that don't like him feel the same. But it's the way he is constantly telling people to "Fuck Off" or calls them names like "asshole" or whatever. Then you meet him face to face, he couldn't be a...

Yup. I've already got accused of trying to start an ugly argument by QK. I see it as a simpler version of Dear Muslima.

RD.net seems to be having problems with their links, the comment I was referring to was #9.

Kind of looks like him around the eyes.

Ophelia hasn't been told that the new policy of A+theism is that if you have any complaints, of harassment or mistreatment, you should send all documentation to Justin Vacula's mother.

What Justin is dealing with is harassment Ophelia...grow up. (But it's all about MEEEEEEEEEEE!).

@ConcentratedH2O, OM

Okay, I suppose I can put up with it if it keeps money out of PZ's porn fund.

Why is it that every time I click on a FfTB link from this forum, my anti-virus software blocks the link due to "known site for dangerous downloads"?

One of you guys getting lulz? It just started happening a day or two ago. If I go there directly, there's no problem. Weird.

August 29, 2012 at 6:04 pm PZ Myers The busy beavers have been hard at work and have provided a complete transcript of that discussion between Jen McCreight, Rebecca Watson, Louis, Brownian, and me on Atheism+. Thanks! Well I hope the "busy beavers" aren't female. That would be like breaking the 11...

I'd love to sneak the picture of Dawkins onto RD.net

I started following online atheism several years ago and Paula Kirby has always been one of my favorite people. She's well spoken and sharp as a tack (and her writing style is very appealing). Not that she can't be criticized, she's a big girl and can handle herself. It seems to me that lesser minds...

So, when they say no to rape jokes, does that just include "legitimate rape"?

Uh oh, did I just make a rape joke? I meant it as political satire...really!

You'll notice that when PeePee organizes these podcasts, he never invites someone with an opposing view. Just like their blogs. I think if someone on the podcast was to go off-script, their skype would suddenly go blank. At least Faux News occasionally has someone that gives the other side. These gu...

Abbe Smith's blog, ERV: you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Well, I do sometimes question any blog that allows me to post. [/sarcasm]

Back when elevatorgate first happened, I dropped every penny I could scrape up into Orville Redenbacher stock. I'd like to thank the people at Fftb for making it possible for me to retire early. Especially you PeeZus, you're da man!

Dawkins stands up for Harris (nicely though):

http://richarddawkins.net/articles/6467 ... sophers-do

wicknight has once again proven that if you try to reason with a mob, you will get flamed by the torches. Ophelia will always respond that someone said that if they were a girl, they'd kick her. Not much of a threat really. Like: if I was a pine cone, I'd drop on your head the next time you were in ...

So PeePee has a thread where you can post anything about him and then he'll delete it within 24 hours. I thought that was already his MO.

Guys! Don't do this.

So as long as I'm using Ad Block Plus, PeePee makes no revenue? I've been avoiding his site like the plague so he doesn't get a penny, but I do have ABP.

Yeah, it's turning into a Dan Brown novel over at PeePee's. Weird stuff, secret coded messages, the High Priest making subtle threats. I'm glad I bought the big box of Orville Redenbacher at Costco yesterday.

Actually, if someone is following you around a conference including up to your hotel room even after you've asked them to go away and leave you alone, tell hotel security and/or police and they will act on it. They take stalking seriously.

My two favorite quotes from OB on RD.net: Ophelia Benson: I like it even less when I say can't we criticize the article without using sexist epithets? And people defend the use of sexist epithets. This drives me nuts, but it happens over and over again â€“ including among atheists. I have this perha...

I have a feeling that the reason PeePee is having a meltdown, is that "the back channel" has been lighting up with complaints. I remember back when RD.net was more free wheeling (nothing like pharwrongula though), there were certain people constantly emailing him about sexism and sexist language on ...

This is how Poland got invaded. When megalomaniacs' delusional fantasies of power are threatened and they lose it. :shock:

BarnOwl

That is so friggin' funny. PeeZee has banned everyone, now they're eating each other. Too bad most atheists don't read the comments over there anymore. It's a real eye-opener. :lol:

I saw an older woman walking around with a T-shirt with a picture of a nail file on the front. I've never seen anything so rude.

On the back it stated: I feel safe with my MAN-icure. What a misogynist, with no feelings for Abbie whatsoever.

As far as atheist leadership goes, I think PZ was thinking he could be the Fourth Horseman after Hitch died (like that's going to happen). Instead, when they got together again, they invited Ayaan Hirsi Ali (very good choice and someone who knows a little about getting REAL threats). I can though, p...

I guess Mel Brooks wouldn't be allowed to post at FfTB:

But these are qualifications for being the worst criminals, how could you leave rape out?

While reading through that thread over at Buttflies and Whirls, the one where Corylus, Phillip and Quine (all who I've respected for years, based on their style of argumentation), I couldn't stop picturing OB as Ahab (yet again), stalking around, threatening everyone with her harpoon. "I've got the ...

What you guys don't seem to understand is, that the only reason TAM was a safe place, was that the usual victims didn't show up this year. Had Ophelia not done the smart thing and pulled out, she certainly would have been bludgeoned in the hallway by a guy wearing a hockey mask. Had Watson showed up...

I thought Amy said she was upset that some people wouldn't come within 10 feet of her table, as if they didn't have a right to avoid certain people (especially if they call themselves "surly"). I used to avoid a guy named Mad Dog Jackson, was I harassing him? So she gets upset at a T-shirt, is cryin...

I'm on a new blood pressure medicine where one of the side effects is "vivid dreams", which is actually pretty cool most of the time. But thanks to you creating that poster of OB, I'm going to be afraid to fall asleep tonight. EGADS! :cry:

I'm sorry, this comment is totally OT, but I see Phil is online and I wanted to make a comment to him. I have a son who's autistic, with several other overlapping diagnoses including sensory integration disorder. Lights, sounds, touch...anything can send him into a "fit" (for lack of a better word)....

Oh, I could have made another case regarding that email OB got which supposedly made her pull out of TAM. Threat: 0 Not Nice: 0 Weird: 4. Overreaction on her part: 8

I suppose you could make the argument that a fragile person could be damaged psychologically by any negative comment (you're a jerk!). But the difference in these two cases is that in one, you need a third party (rapist) to commit the act of violence (or a wayward bus). The odds of that are slim, wh...

This is off topic of what's being discussed now, but on topic generally, so pardon me if I disrupt the flow. I've been thinking about this for a few days now, what people perceive as threats. So...let's do a scale of 1 through 10, 10 being a severe threat (like someone pointing a gun at you asking f...
