Radford - Stollznow Timeline/Outline

[Matt Cavanaugh]

Please post here any material related to the Radford-Stollznow drama -- links, quotes, tweets, screen caps, etc. I will then do my best to draft an even-handed summary of the affair.

Note: I am not pro-Radford per se. But if Stollznow's tactics -- which are the SJL/radfem's tactics -- succeed in allowing hearsay, innuendo and baseless accusations to prevail, these maoist fuckers will be emboldened to press harder their attempted hijacking of skepticism/atheism.

Well, here's some stuff. Not all of it, by any means.

(^this one's particularly amusing at this point, it's all about "evidence, please! but only if it supports harassment claims; oh and make it public, too")

Thanks for all those. The last link kinda moots this project, though. I'd thrown together a rough draft, needing to plug in dates & details. I may take in a slightly different direction.

That's a very good one with some hidden gems in them, all archived here...

Compare:
Issue 1: release of private material is Okay When They Do Itâ„¢, not Okay when others do it
Issue 2: If the others do it, it's called blackmail and evil. If they do it, it's external pressure and allowed.

I still don't take side for Radford here, just against their hypocrisy.

If you have evidence or personal accounts that will back Karen Stollznow’s complaint about Ben Radford, please send them to CFI — and please make them public if you can.
The CFI Board of Directors can be emailed via the Corporate Secretary, Tom Flynn, at tflynn@centerforinquiry.net. They can also be reached by snail mail, at:
Center for Inquiry Board of Directors
PO Box 741

And even better:

hjhornbeck @ #1: Because more evidence makes it harder for them to ignore. Because it’s easier to ignore one person making a complaint than it is to ignore one person making a complaint with several other people corroborating her story and making it more plausible. Because more people reporting their evidence or personal accounts is “external pressure.” Because some of us are trying to give CFI the benefit of the doubt, and give them a chance to do the right thing — and more evidence will make it easier for them to do that.

Here is little gem. Note "external pressure" on Radford. To which HJ Hornbeck writes:

We’ve already tried that after the WiS2 debacle. Despite quite a bit of external pressure, CFI issued a “fuck off” of a non-pology and did absolutely nothing. They’ve already made their move, in the form of that statement. They’ve already crossed and dotted their legal I’s and T’s. They are sitting on solid ground, and any movement away from that would be an admission they screwed up. They are not going to respond to pressure.

Now that Ben Radford has his information up, HJ Hornbeck thinks in Jason's Timeline thread:

Either his lawsuit silenced Stollznow, and presumably he took down this website, or the case went forward, and he publicized it widely. That’s blackmail.

Either way, yes, it seems the site was a bargaining chip (a.k.a blackmail).

I think this post by Adam Lee adds a little to the story.

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightat ... nswer-cfi/

It contains a tweet in which Stollznow accuses the CFI of trying to hide the truth and not being interested in critical thinking.
