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

Tigzy — That post is a thing of beauty. It must be given it's own platform.

Imagine if someone started off Poe'ing for the lulz and then got addicted to the adoration and power. It's a horrifying thought. It could even be someone you know, ya know?

Just a quick note to call attention to an “experiment” I've been running: http://slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=180 http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2512 I am genuinely interested in hearing and writing about what attracts participants to each forum, although it seems I've alre...

Sorry my last reply was to Jonathan. Thanks for that LMU, most insightful.

Hmm yeah, why not? Sort of blows the symmetry of the piece but I'll give it a go.

I'm posting this on both forums, word for word. My apologies in advance. I'm working on a post comparing the two forums (which are alike in a number of surprising ways) but so far it is mostly quantitative and historical and oddly dry. I'd like to try and get a sense (mostly from non-mods) of what i...

Oh yeah, I meant the one where she is writing on you. Any idea who took it? I'm probably safe if it wasn't Amy.

Yeah, yeah, we can't handle the Big Swinging Dick of Truth.

Anyhow, who holds the copyright on that photo of you and Becca? I'd like to use it in an upcoming post.

Fucking hell, the RW quote won't show up. Maybe the forum server has become self-aware and somewhat editorial to boot.

Yeah, I'll tell you the same thing I said to the last one who said that (maybe it was you? I don't remember): If you fucked my mom, you need to go get yourself tested.

ERV, hurry up on that HIV cure.

I've heard you have a blog on a very reputable network.

I fucked all your girlfriends and wives. Also, your Moms.

Well, there's this

I literally spat coffee on my screen during the segment featuring 'The Raoul' but have to ask whether the name itself is somehow significant.

If only there was some more public venue for relevant feedback on the qualities of this novel...

I don't have anything against eating babies, as a godless nihilist, but alas, I *AM* the anxious-looking baby in that particular photo.

In effect, you just offered to eat me. :mrgreen:

Damion is a creep. A creep that helped turn OKC Atheists into a group of hundreds of members with dozens of events every month, from support groups and volunteerism to outreach to educational opportunities to book clubs to movie nights to activities for kids to activities for adults to everyone jus...

It’s just a matter of time until I get busted for that over there. Still, having a go of it.

Tigzy wrote:Interesting blog post on A+ here: http://agnostichicagokie.blogspot.co.uk ... aigns.html - is this the same guy who goes by the handle D4M10N on twitter?

Yes, and the same handle here as well. :D

Thanks for the plug!

Goddamnit, @SallyStrange is the most dishonest, strawman making Twitter user I've seen. Seriously, is anyone else seeing this week-long back and forth between her and Damion? I've been following it with some interest, and not a little patience. Strongly reminded of dealing with certain fundamentali...

Congrats to Greg Laden and the other #FtBullies on their successful campaign of online and offline intimidation. Time for a round of applause:

Just in case anyone wants to jump in on a new tag:

I should mention that neither was overly supportive of Abbie during Liftgate, if that is important to anyone. I think Abbie prefers 'shaftgate' but that's really neither here nor there. I'd recommend Russell Blackford, John Loftus, Adam Lee, and Matt McCormick. I'm sure there are plenty of others. ...

FNG here. Looking for a list of atheist bloggers who are unaffiliated with any of the big collectives (FtB, SciBlogs, Patheos). I'm trying to repopulate my RSS reader, and of late I'm come to doubt the possibility of editorial independence while working within a major collective. Even ERV gets much ...

So, all this inspired me to sign up and pen my first ever tweet. Now that the faithful have crashed the party, it may be time to create more obscure hashtags in order to carve out a "safe space" for dissent. :lol: A few suggestions for your consideration: #GroupThinkBlogs #FtBlumpkins #FtBaboollies...
