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

Phil, peut-etre parce que nous Americains sommes l'origine du problème? If you *really* want, perhaps I can come to France, stamp my feet in indignation at every minor offense, insist that you speak English because I do, etc. Partager est prendre soins, non? Désolé, je parle comme une vache Espag...

The most negative impression I've had about the MRM has to do with the "dudebros" (for lack of better term.) I got this impression from reading MRA blogs and watching Youtube videos (e.g., girlwriteswhat), specifically their comment sections. Despite that, my experiences with MRAs in general -- unli...

Since AndrewV69 expressed interest... Express your current understanding of Men's Rights Advocates and the Men's Rights Movement. I'll answer first. MRAs, and the MRM, are a response to the negative social consequences of feminism. They consist of both men and women who are aware of the laws and soc...

Looking at some of this melodrama reminds me of a teenagers diary (or at least what I imagine it to be, based on tv and my imagination). Like Ophelia, Becky, and others, it's all about ME. They're all special little snowflakes, and we are expected to accommodate for them. If they walk into a restau...

ESR has a lot of good things to say. See also his article entitled Condemning Censorship, Even of Werewolves http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1310 There was a true blue misogynist -- mikeeeUSA, creepy as fuck (Greg Laden pales in comparison) and very violent -- lurking about some of the open source forums....

Agreed on the self promotion criticism. Just stick to the facts. We can happily read your bio and about your activism at your site. Cheerio, nice to have you here.

Karma worked out very well in a forum in which I participated long ago.

BarnOwl, everything skepsters stand for is a buzz-word. They aren't sincere, they just want attention. Thing is... not all of us are attention whores. Some of us like to vote, live our lives however we would like to live it, and -- this is very important so listen closely -- shut the fuck up about i...

I'm a fan of "PEARL." Physical evidence and reasoned logic. Skepticism is implied.

It's really more of a porcupine refuge. Poor creatures have been involuntarily shoved up people's asses ever since atheist liberal feminist vegans got acquainted with the Interwebz.

A liar calling other people liars. Are our collective bullshit detectors really so broken?

LOOOOL!

That is the only response that Zvan's babbling warrants.

I've been branded as a "Vacuous Shitbag Troll" by 'Lousy Canuck.' This has been repeated by Stephanie Zvan. Ophelia has recently used the following words/phrases to describe me: "very dishonest," "disgraceful," "unethical," "not too careful with the truth," "a hack pursuing a vendetta," a "dishones...

Nope.

Accusations of behind-the-scenes maneuvering by people who want to paint "us" in a bad light.

I don't think it's useful to have a "back channel." I know that's not the intention but I see the accusations flying already. Maybe not allow non-members to post, but the forums should be 100% transparent. If we don't want to be bothered by it, we won't read it.

Cheers!

Skepticism, a comparison between normal, non-attention-seeking people (henceforth "mundanes") and to skeptic hipsters (henceforth "skepsters"). This is a short list. I'll be interested to see what others have to contribute. Skepticism Mundanes: A process of determining what is reasonably true. Skeps...

I wonder why people throw around "anti-feminist" as if that's some kind of an insult. I embrace my inner anti-feminist. By FFTB, I've never explicitly been called anything but a persona non grata and a "90% toned-down 4channer." Then again, I don't waste my time by going there (with the brief except...
