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

http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1786 Intro thread of new A+ forum member, who starts off by saying (emphasis added): So when I made my nickname, I didn't realize that there was a hoard of morons that always seem to have "skeptic" in their names getting banned. So much so that it'...

http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=716&start=275#p24435 In the post linked above, new A+ forum member EZRD offered this initial impression of that forum: I used a term that I didn't know people found offensive. When correcting that, I used another term that I didn't know people found...

Got a grin from a couple of comments about free speech at atheism+ forum, from this page in the "You screwed Matt Dillahunty" thread: http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1647&start=100#p26529 ...excerpted below based on my own caprice, and including whimsically the bait dangled at A+ t...

...Fun fact: if you crush up some "fortified" breakfast cereals and run a strong magnet through the debris, it'll pull out the (very, very fine) iron filings they add as the iron supplement. Very interesting. I'll try that sometime. The slymepit is now, officially, a science blog. :) Sorry :oops: n...

Response #185 at http://freethoughtblogs.com/lousycanuck/2012/10/06/matt-i-really-think-you-owe-them-an-apology/ I wonder whether Skeptixx could actually link to a place where she has discussed social justice rather than discussing the people who discuss social justice. (Skeptixx = Skep tickle) Well...

Hope that all makes sense. I'm all in favour of Fe supplements for the baboollies in the form of administration of an iron railing to the fecking teeth from time-to-time. (note: violent imagery used for humorous purposes only...) Now, now. That would serve as a autologous source of calcium, as any ...

Women need to eat red meat, not men. My understanding is that a lot of people, men and women, need red meat in their diets to prevent certain types of health issues. Perhaps I'm misinformed, or misremembering (it's been a while), but I'm pretty sure I recall reading about that somewhere or other. I...

I came to the whole FtB/A+ debacle late, but it's fascinating to observe. I guess their self-image that they promote (or even allow) critical thinking & skepticism is just part of the pathology. Counting down now to my banning at FtB in 3, 2, 1....

Reap, awesome podcast with Justin that needs to be advertised, http://www.reapsowradio.com/?p=31213 Loved the rant at the beginning. I wish PZ et al would actually hear it. EDIT: I meant about Justin. My bad for the confusion, I'm typing between late shifts again. And as a bonus, here's the graphic...

I am never going to be able to look at Oolong tea now without the word "cunt" coming to mind.

For completeness' sake, an update: my post in the Lousy Canuck "Matt...apologize" discussion was approved for posting, apparently within the past hour. My prior assumption that it had been shit-canned was in error. That, or it had been shit-canned but then was pulled back out and rinsed off a bit.

...And why would we not welcome Skep tickle with open arms? At least Skep tickle can see through the dogma of A+/FTB. In the event that Matt reads this..... remember, Skep tickle did bring up reasonable objections without being offensive, and was met with "snarky" comments, then banned. Thank you. ...

The extra funny aspect is that despite all their supposedly advanced social awareness and gender sensibilities, they're making the unwarranted assumption that Skep tickle is male. :naughty: :lol: [victim-blaming] It is your fault for using a pseudonym that is suggestive of a certain dangling male o...

Welcome Skep tickle. In case you're unable to see what was posted after being banned, here's a backup copy from the day I saw that dispute. This is the only page that's actually relevant to you, since after doing a ctrl+f for your name on the other pages, no results came up.... http://pastehtml.com...

Hi, all. Only recently started reading here, when I was looking for evidence one way or another about the claims witch hunt against JV. I like the feel of the place! Thanks for the link to the Dillahunty video - it was an unexpected treat for me, as I learned partway through that it was my banning a...
