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

Steersman, you have a PM. I had a question for you.

FTR and because I feel like just fucking venting, Greta Christina can kiss my ever-loving, eternal ass. My guy is going to have part of his fucking tongue removed on the 25th. This is along with removing the mass on his neck and doing a throat camera look. Somehow, I'm thinking there aren't shoes o...

Does anyone know what Noelplum's latest video "Dramagate" was about? Apparently some drama on You Tube with BionicDance? I would link to his video but he doesn't give any real hints. A bunch of various middle to lesser known atheist YT channels conspired together to create "Dramagate", a mock inter...

@Mykeru LOL, that's okay. I don't care that much any way. I just couldn't find out from his video.

Hi all, New to the slymepit and thought I would take your votes on an avatar.

About "Monopad Man" (I won't put his real name here as I feel that he has suffered enough from this IMO), he was a well known TAM attendee and former Jref forum member. From my understanding, he is somewhere on the Autism spectrum. I know that Watson called him "creepy" on FB while they were trying ...

And for the â€œheads-upâ€, although I only see one reference to me there by one Raging Bee â€“ about whom Welch had some choice words â€“ probably because she and I have had some â€œwordsâ€ over Shermer in the context of Braytonâ€™s rather sorry attempt to refute the charge that FfTB has turned i...

Steersman is a dick.

Tell us how you really feel Mykeru, lol

Shermer's essay is quite well done, calm and clear and rational. It will be fun watching the Baboons assign all kinds of evil misogynistic intent to his words. In the comments at Ophelia's I already see lots of people maligning him for his politics. You know, he MUST be a priveliged asshole because...

I am not aware of Lee editing comments but he definitely deletes comments. His article on Shermer was such a biased POS Im surprised anyone still takes him seriously.

It was a big battle. Something about her plagiarizing ideas from a Latina feminist (who afterwards said "fuck feminism") and failing to giving her credit. Marcotte said that those were HER ideas, even after she wrote the article right after attending a conference in which the Latina ex-feminist tal...

Rant Mode On Part 1 I really must agree with MKG that there has been far too much laughing at, criticising, dismissing, and condemning of some of the FfTB, Skepchick, A+ people based on things over which they have no control, in particular, their genetically determined physical appearance. Such att...

My previous post was in reply to Vacula's post. I accidentally left Ophelia's quote out.

Well Ophelia, there's plenty of women involved in secularism that aren't backing down. There's Abbie Smith, Miranda Hale, Harriet Hall, Paula Kirby, Sara Mayhew, Barbara Drescher, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Bridgit Gaudett, etc. Oh, and there's tons of women here on the Slymepit!

Another lurker, I thought it was awesome too! Here's a link to the Phawrongula wiki about the whole controversy if you're interested:
http://phawrongula.wikia.com/wiki/TAM_2 ... acturversy

I haven't mentioned it, but I find Ophelia's 'I feel safe at Tam' shirt to be incredibly stupid and insulting. I am embarassed just *looking* at it. Are you talking about Harriet Hall's shirt? The one that upset Surly Amy? I loved it! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Hall_wi...

Welch and Mykeru, thank you for sharing your stories. The whiniest people are often those who have had the easiest lives. Yet, they will call you two "privileged". What a joke. I have mentioned briefly before that I was abducted and raped when I was twelve. I too had to make a choice how I wanted to...

Another lurker, I think I missed the sarcasm in your post.

It appears that Brian Banks has been exonerated, later. It doesn't make it acceptable, but it shows that self-correcting measures are in place.

Your welcome hon! Im glad Banks was exonerated. I hope that Willams gets a new trial.

SPACKlick, trying to use the "rules" of court - "beyond a reasonable doubt", etc is pretty unfair. If that was enough, there wouldn't be people being released from prison after it turns out - surprise - they are innocent. If it can't be proven beyond a doubt, the jury simply votes on it. With the a...
