He really lost me with his smug sense of superiority over the US based on a stupid bumper-sticker.

In my not so humble opinion, the poster choosing to label his-self as 'franc' has been unfairly maligned to an alarming extent , from all sides. Not just 'both' sides, but ALL sides. franc is not a monster â€” he is a mirror. An honest mirror. That is precisely what makes Franc a monster. He does h...

My comment: http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamonds/2012/07/12/i-hate-to-say-i-told-you-so/#comment-97693 [Troll Alert!] Sounds like natural selection in action.

For those who would appreciate some background, here is to my mind a pretty good outline as to how the ball started rolling:

I need more data people. Do not be shy. Having asked for your opinion, I am not going to attack you for it. The worst that will happen is I may ask you to expand on it. I do realize that this is a touchy subject for some people, but whatever side of the fence you are on I will ask you to lighten up ...

Latest Tweet:

I suspect he knows what he was doing when he linked to that old post.

Oh, and that part that "there was no evidence". That is a complete and utter bullshit also. The RCMP had a video that showed.... consensual sex, in a field, with kids watching and cheering, and taking pictures.

Since harassment is an issue that is real, I thought we could have a thread here to bring up incidents or otherwise talk about it. I know it's come up in other threads, but I wanted to put one here away from the Fftb threads. Saw this one on a new case up in Canada: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/br...

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm following your reasoning here. Boys have a perception (which is accurate, as it turns out) that female teachers will grade them more harshly than girls, therefore they are misogynists? It appears to be an ongoing lifelong process. At some point after sustained maltreatment th...

So I looked, read some forums, found the respective wiki (wikimannia, mostly in German)... and was absolutely shocked what a bunch of whingeing misogynists these self-declared MRAs turned out to be. About half of the posts were devoted to bragging about how superior they are to women in every respe...

Ophhelia's talking about cyberbullying again, and the importance of shunning bullys, and of course, nary a word about Laden.

My experience over at Gene Expression is that you have 15 minutes to make edits, then your article, ready or not by then gets posted.

Been waiting till the thread was moved to say this. I'm very, very concerned that certain individuals are going to read this as victory/capitulation over Abbie and double-up on their attacks on her. This is why I'm not big on appeasement. Well, their biggest "hitman" just took a beating, so I suppo...

Thanks Overlord. Anyone else? I am really interested in the negative connotations that some people appear to have though, and if they can put their finger on where they picked up their perceptions in particular. For example, last time I swung by Reddit they appeared to have quite a few "for reals" m...

The only tag I was hit with that I can recall was MRA/PUA The MRA part is correct. The PU part had me laughing IRL. I figured out eventually that "MRA" is supposed to be some sort of odious creature.

So now Paula Kirby gets to see exactly what other have been talking about AND a self-identified list of the people who do this kind of thing.

So the question is:

Did Paula suspect that they would respond like this, or did she inadvertently set them up?

I don't really get this -- I'm not a twitter twit. What are they doing with these Hashtag things? Making fun of themselves? Trying to be ironic? It's their latest attempt to "pharyngulate" something - deform it with bad data. They used to do it in polls - now they are pitifully ineffectual so they ...

Which, of course, isn't bullying at all. Fucking retards are self-parodying.
