Old_ones:
Are you suggesting that maybe all is not well in the land of SJL Game "Journalists", and that maybe, just maybe, this is having a negative impact on their traffic? Also, I'm interested to see just how many advertisers have pulled the plug on the "Flailing Four".

sinister:
You know better than that. Hype is NEVER lived up to. It wouldn't be "hype" if it were.

Welcome to the fun.

I shared a Dawkins video where he was talking about that , with my wife. I later had to take her to the ER due to a face-palm induced concussion. I thought there must be way more to find that would produce some laughs. That rabbit hole must go very deep indeed. Your wife was talking to Dawkins.... ...

And Libby Anne of Love, Joy Feminism goes the A+ route, telling people that if accused of sexism, to shut up and beg for forgiveness.

It does have a nice ring to it.

Skep: The IA video linked above is actually more of a highlight reel of the first 3 weeks of GamerGate. It highlights how it started without making it all about how many people were in Zoe Quinn's vagina. It's meant to be more of a "this is how far we've come" thing. Part 2 is likely to include all ...

Your point doesn't seem to make sense. Her gender politics seem to preclude any sex from being a positive experience. Yes. She made sense in 2011. PZ made a kind of sense early in 2011. It's now 2014. I think you have now put the onious on yourself to prove that due to her gender politics she is un...

From the front page of today's Vancouver Sun, a story of false accusations against a BC high school teacher.

An accomplice HELPS in a crime. If someone steals my car and I tell you, you just didn't become an accomplice because you failed to report the stolen car. Hell, I could have just forgotten where I parked it or it could have been towed. Oi, they said drop it. I was gonna drop it. But he WAS helping ...

Conc: I'd declare him "meh."; I think to some extent he may be guilty of sticking his dick in crazy, but beyond that, there's not enough evidence to support Smith's claim. From lack of evidence I would derive a "not guilty" verdict if I were on the imaginary CoPO jury. It is getting pretty fucking b...

UncaYimmy: Again, I am using it wrongly by design. In using the word "accomplice" it trumps the charges up higher than it has to be. It puts pressure on and is thus more likely to force an admission from, the person in question. For the average person not represented by a lawyer this might make them...

Wow. The lack of critical thinking her is astounding. Any "it" Wagg could be "faulted" for assumes as truth the very thing in question. There was no legal rape. It was drunken consensual sex. She can call it rape if she wants, but if you call a dog's tail a leg, he still only has four legs. And I b...

Even the plod think Jeff Wagg's a cunt! http://i.imgur.com/rxkXlIT.jpg I would argue that if Wagg didn't think it was a crime it wasn't a moral duty, which is where the CREDIBILITY DOES MATTER argument comes in. If he thought it was credible at the time, then he had a moral duty to report it. If he...

If you are doing it for yourself then clearly you do not have agency.

It's complicated enough to be counter-intuitive.

I bet they don't. That tweet is all we'll get.

I've seen people get fired over less. Though I think that also qualifies as attempted cyberbullying. It certainly means a lot more when it's aimed at speakers for CFI though.

I don't blame you. Not everyone keeps up with the 10 pages per day that has been happening presently.

It was posted, a few pages ago in TiBo's storify. Though iirc, more than a few have him on ignore over the IvP thing.

Or maybe it took a much bigger name than the nameless veterans of the US to finally shut down her power trip. Although I do feel partly responsible for it by agitating Mr. Boghossian.

Wow, the follow-up tweets to @lizzyf620 are freaking brutal. I imagine this is some movement of misogyny coming to get her. Quick let's, set up a victim fund!

That's the source of the trauma. People are denying her delusion.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

That Forbes takedown is sad. We have reached the point where women are no longer to be criticised. Ever. I'm tending towards Sargon's view that a political and social revolution isn't far away. By which I mean a violent uprising, either in favor of SJW values or against. There's simply no way to di...

I heard that at the Pit though, and I'm told that they are terrible rape apologists. You know what's worse than that? The fact that they think that posting and reposting a picture of a dragon raping a WHITE Volkswagon somehow makes it OK. ps. I'd also like to know more about the suggestion in one o...

What on earth were YOU reading? They were both drinking that night, although she had more. And it's her story that has conflicts, holes and inconsistencies, not his.

SN: Personally, as the middle child of 3, I think it's more in the vein of spitting on a piece of cake to claim it than a "I want to maliciously harm you for the rest of your life." thing.

Would be rather silly to find out that we can have disagreements, and yet we're the "one-mind-many-bodies" entity.

That explains why I didn't know:

What is the "Wolf359" thing? I'm not sure I understand.

So, 2 years after TAM2008 there was the "Please say yes!!" email Smith wrote to Shermer, inviting him to a panel. 2 months after TAM2008, there was a blog entry of hers with a smile photo showing herself, Shermer, and Wagg at DragonCon, noting what a "blast" that "lovely portion of the evening" was...

What do you mean by "I"? Are you talking the Royal "I"? What is your concept of what self-identity means anyway? You used the contraction "don't."

Shadowbanning is possible here; but to achieve that kind of result it takes everyone putting that one person on their ignore list.

It would be really, really, really fucked up if that were true. :lol:

As much as "Believe the Victim" is chanted, I can't help but wonder if maybe the story has become a wee bit embellished each time it's retold.

Addendum for Hunt: The wheelchair bit could still have been a case of telephone game and story embellishment unless it was a "published" immediately following the TAM2008 event (even by January 2009 bits and pieces of the story might have changed).

One of the larger holes in my narrative though is the apparent reputation of Michael Shermer as a lecherous horny old man.

It must have been such a distressing experience for Alison Smith. Still, two year later, she was writing cheery emails to Shermer inviting him to be a panellist on a workshop about sex and sexuality. Although she was simultaneously terrified that Shermer would find out her identity, so she had to r...

Of course I might simply be mixing up the Shermer rape accusations, seems there was one where it was a complaint of a bottomless wine glass.

Mykeru:
Wait a second, does that mean she could have been pouring her own drinks and that Shermer wasn't necessarily having her glass filled?

Random thought: What would be absolutely genius is if Mr. Lindsay took the time to find that ticking time bomb he's playing with at CFI DC with Malady. As she's one of those shouting sexism and misogyny over the slightest disagreements. I'm not sure how I feel about him commenting on the situation w...

The plot thickens. In the past, I've been at odds with the (seeming) majority pit stance of siding with Shermer (I believed there was enough evidence to at least warn every woman I cared about to steer clear of him). Oh yeah? And what evidence was that? The evidence that someone said so. :popcorn:
