PZ: "Building a diverse network also produces a robust network. There is no single point of failure. By design and by diffusing the leadership all along, thereâ€™s no way to take it out with loss of a single blogger (weâ€™ve lost and gained bloggers all along, you know)." Dude, YOU ARE the single po...

Would Patheos really take pz on? Surely they are not that stupid. If there was a sliver of a chance PZ made sure to piss all over it in the past 24 hours. PZs only two options are to close down FfTB and do his own, personal blog or just fuck off into obscurity. I'd personally love to see him go out...

Yeah, if you're so into soshall juices and aware of your privilege, why not lend your apartment to some poor black folks?

Expect a Patreon update.

I've been crook for a week or so and have spent a few days taking in the lulz here. And damn it's been fantastic! I can't really see any way this can't be the end of FfTB as it was but I do think there's still some life left. Might be a little while but either way you guys have done a great job of k...

My two cents... I was thinking about the implications of The Great Disassociation. It occurred to me, eventually, that PZ may be in a rather awkward position at the moment. To me it seems like his A/S circuit gigs have a big chance of drying up completely. If, hypothetically, his stage gigs do dry u...

Brive1987: If it bothers you, I'd simply report those posts as derailing (and if Damion makes more derailing posts, report those too).

Also, I'll just add this from a mod in this thread http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=276394 questioning the disappearance of a post: "The Mod Team does not actively patrol/review all posts in all threads; if you see a post you feel is in breach of a members Membership Agreement - report it."

I am more cranky with JREF and I should note - Damion has indicated he did not report anything to the mods. An open disagreement with him is obviously fine by me. But closing down one side of a reasoned and polite debate? That sux. I'd suggest questioning the action here: http://forums.randi.org/fo...

Hi damion, just wondering did you report brive's post over there or are you aware that anyone else did?

That's nice. Damion's libeling of the Pit's response to the KS initial claim stands proud on the JREF main Radford thread. The rebuttal - including direct evidence to the contary - has been split off into an impossible to find purgatory thread. This despite the fact the rebuttal was clearly labelle...

Excuse my ignorance but what's involved in filing a counter-suit and how does it work? Does KS file before or after the first round? Does filing a counter-suit cost a lot (as much as is over and above the original 30k)? How would donators feel if she loses the first round and therefore can't counter...

We seem to generating a fine collection of 'pitshops' and so I wonder if we might put them to some good use.

I just checked Ophelia's harassment post again (over 170 comments! - about ten times her normal rate!)

I saw bits of that on telle earlier tonight. Seemed harmless enough but what's with the "enthusiastic" bit? Isn't the word "consent" enough? Are SJW's trying to get this written into law?
