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

I would like to thank everyone who has sent me a PM, or popped in a supportive note here. That means a lot to me. And I am still here; still pondering. It is not yet a one-day-at-a-time scenario. I should clarify a few things: I have been looking hard and long for work for over ten months, both in ...

A source whose name I can't reveal ( all I'll tell you is that they had once access to the FTB back channel ) told me that many FTB blogger weren't exactly happy with Carrier's blase attitude about cheating but kept it quiet in public for many reasons.

There's been this persistent humming noise.

For example, there's this thing called 'the hum' . If it exists, only some people can hear it. It's supposedly a gentle, very low pitch, barely audible constant hum of various hypothetical origins. However, no matter how deep into isolation they go, these people can't stop hearing it (it's not a ma...

It is sad really to think how many of FtB's bloggers and "allies" have wound up either as posters here, or admitting (as Ophelia now has) that we aren't as evil as previously assumed and make some decent points. Oh and there's also the ones we made them get rid of, so there's that too. It's like we...

There were other accusations of a 'sexual predatory' nature against Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov - who have all, so far, failed to respond. Just what is it they are hiding?

It's actually kinda depressing that a really unremarkable personal snap got amplified, then picked up by the peanut gallery who then rushed to see her harangued and fired because they had been offended.

I think the "protection" of a pseudonym is illusionary. It depends on what you have to lose I suppose.
