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

It's now been 9 days since the last glacial "movement" (perhaps tectonic would be a better analogy) in the "dialogue".

It's not only dead, it's starting to decompose.

This is even more of a "threat" than almost anything on RW's page-o-hate. I expect the FC(n) to condemn Taslima any minute now....

yep, any minute.

http://blog.iblamethepatriarchy.com/2011/07/18/a-bit-of-lighthearted-fun/ That article, and the comments, include some of the dumbest fucking statements I've ever seen.

I made this request in the PTOS and it quickly got lost. I would like to have 4-5 "pitters" (preferably prominent ones like mordacious) with Youtube accounts to assist in a "game show " video similar to my previous ones. It would require you answering a question on a piece of paper and showing the a...

Ophie has a post up giving Dawkins some shit because he phrased something poorly on Twitter. But never mind that. Thereâ€™s a bigger thing here. â€œUnfortunately, I phrased it poorly.â€ Does that remind you of anything? It reminds me of something. â€œDear Muslima.â€ â€œZero bad.â€ Unfortunately,...

Social Justice Warrior Syndrome: The condition that causes people to correlate absolutely everything to rape.

So tell me is this commenter Steersman or just his clone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBKBHYHBhzk Well sir, maybe I give folks that make such remarks too much credit.

Welcome. If I had to describe what this place is about, I'd say it's about documenting the hypocrisy and dogmatic behaviors of a small group of "atheists" who subscribe to a strange blend of radical and gender feminism. It's also about discussing various subjects (like a local pub). Come on in and p...

Happy birthday Pitch!

Happy birthday ERV!

See, this is why we can't have nice things.

Off topic a bit but I made a non-theism video about my e-mail exchange with Matt Dillahunty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjX_RNysBbI As an Apatheist all I would say is, provided you don't try to convert me, or write laws based on it, believe any nonsense you want. In other words, "Religion is l...

Off topic a bit but I made a non-theism video about my e-mail exchange with Matt Dillahunty:

I've lived long enough to try and appeal to people's self interest (and to be generally pessimistic about it taking effect). At any rate, here's why you should give a shit even if you live in the US.

Exchange in the "Discussion" section of Nugent's dialogue: Ariel says: April 10, 2013 at 11:21 am Some methods of imposing: (1) Shunning from otherwise earned speaking engagements, (2) banning dissenting commenters, (3) starting petitions for removal from secular offices,(4) labeling those with diss...

Unfortunately, there is actually a definition that sort of supports that argument - at a stretch: miâ€¢norâ€¢iâ€¢ty n. pl. miâ€¢norâ€¢iâ€¢ties 1. a.

I voted "meh". I don't think anything will be resolved as a result of this dialogue, but it's important to be seen by the rest of the atheosphere as exactly NOT what the FC(n) and FfTB folks describe us as.

That is why I continue to post responses there.

Just dropping this off here:

What *IS* the Great Rift? One theory: ... Has the Nugent dialogue come to an agreement on the disagreement yet? It's absolutely crucial to any dialogue that tries to solve things.

I must have some sort of cognitive deficit, because I can't make any sense of the latest Stefuscations at Nugent's dialogue site.

Zvan:

3. Postmodern critiques of measurement and classification have been extremely useful in at least the social sciences. Otherwise, I agree.

Tell me if this would be anything but an ink waster.

Jack, you are quite right. Zvan is practicing what might be called tactical moderation to create a wholly false picture of her opponents, and the dialogue on her blog. We have, of course, absolutely no idea what kind of stuff is not let through, and so there is no way to know what the real picture ...

Spot the logical fallacy: 25 Stephanie Zvan April 16, 2013 at 1:12 pm (UTC -5) Actually, if you look at that question in terms of working toward our goals, it gets really bloody simple.

While I remain neutral on the suggestion to exit the dialog, this is otherwise an excellent point. If I got one thing out of Svans response, it was the intent to obfuscate as much as possible. While one 'sides' posts were awfully verbose, it was easily understood in intent. Svan's posts were writte...

Post 4 by Zvan is up and I can't make heads or tails of it without backtracking through all seven posts. I believe in legal terms this is called burying the opposition in paperwork.

This is, I believe, the intent of the format chosen (directed by Zvan).

It's pretty much an expired equine at this point.

Altair, I really have to take exception to that long-winded mansplaining post about mansplaining. Sit down, shut up, and LISTEN and LEARN about the important people's issues.

Interesting exchange on the "Thunderf00t is a psycho" thread - more evidence that Carrier has no idea what A-plussers and most FTBers mean when they talk about "social justice."
