In my last post the second paragraph should have had quotation marks around it. That whole paragraph was Benson's quote. I shouldn't post on my phone with a toddler laying on me.

Is DonExodus still on YouTube? He's an intelligent Theist. If you can't find a Theist, you can ask Concordance from YouTube to moderate. He's pretty neutral on this whole thing.
Actually Concordance's comments on A+ pretty much confirm he is a long long long way from the A+ viewpoint, possibly even further away than many here

Concordance is for moderate harrasment policies at conferences and is still friendly with PZ Myers and Thuderf00t though.

Yeah, I don’t really know why. My gut impression was that the reason was “people at Pharyngula are too mean, and this thread at ERV’s is a convenient place to complain about that.” But I don’t remember any particularly explicit this is why I left Pharyngula comment.

windy ws a direct casualty of the Elevator Wars of 2011. She joined the ‘pit early, when it represented (to her, I think) Team Dawkins vs. Team Radfem. I believe she rejects what she sees as the local brand of feminisms’s emphasis on victimization and she’s offended by the perceived infantilization of women inherent in what considers Schrodinger’s-rapist paranoia. (I say this because at the time she expressed specific unhappiness with some comments I made (over there) about crossing the street to pre-empt a potentially anxious situation for somebody else. It pissed her off.)

I should add that she was also unhappy about aspects of the local commetariat.

They're confusing wind with Windy. Silly billies.

[quote=damion]Offhand, here are just a few possibilities for consideration…

Resolved: Strong sexual harassment policies are necessary for skeptical conferences to achieve their stated goals.

Resolved: Sexual harassment policies are unlikely to be abused by conference organisers to further their own ideological or personal ends.

Resolved: Just as atheism is the logical result of applying skepticism to theism, feminism is the logical result of properly applying skepticism to the patriarchy.

Resolved: Western culture is pervaded with subtle social mechanisms that perpetuate male dominance to this day.

Resolved: Western culture is a rape culture.

Resolved: Atheism Plus has demonstrated the morality and efficacy of combining social justice with skepticism.[/quote]

Having thought it over, I would add to that (along with Jimthepleb's suggestion "Are women underrepresented in the A/S community")--

-A culture of harassment of women and sexism pervades the A/S community.

-Liberal values and policy positions, and only liberal values and policy positions, are logically required by atheism.

-Skepticism of feminist theories is appropriate and helpful to the cause of human rights.

-The A/S movement should have a specific political outlook, and dissenters should not be welcome to join.

The "heal the rift" talk is nonsense, but a debate would be productive, imo. We'd crush them, and everyone could finally move on. Not sure how much ground Barbara Drescher really shares with the slymepit, but if she would agree to debate any of the propositions, she would be my first choice. Realistically, though, the best we can hope for is convincing a few pharyngulites/a+ers to leave the herd for a bit for some commenter-on-commenter action. I don't think anything formal needs to be set up. Don't know if this could be done, but open up a moderated thread, find some poor schmuck willing to sit around a few hours a day and delete personal attacks from both sides, and listen to the serene music of the crickets while we wait for one of them to be willing to debate.

I'm a Laborer by trade, that means I've done about everything related to construction at one time or another, but mainly I lay pipe on a water and sewer crew. The trouble is work has been slow these last few years and I kinda miss spending my days knee-deep in raw sewage. So when that guy over in Minnesota, whatshisname...that fella that kills all those little fish, said The Slymepit was a cesspit of unspeakable filth I thought to myself "Fuck yeah, sign me up! It'll be like old home week".

You know what I found when I got here?

Nary a floating turd, used tampon or whiff of hydrogen sulfide.

What a fucking rip-off. Of course it's my own damned fault, I know better than to listen to anybody that lives on the wrong side of the crick. :doh:
Welcome to the Pit Mudbrooker! So, you like to "lay pipe" do you?
Oh my yes. It's dirty as hell and it gets pretty physical at times, but it's really a fairly simple procedure. First, you install a rubber and lube it up good. Then you carefully line up the spigot end of your pipe so the rubber doesn't roll out and cause a leak. After that, you grab your five-foot Johnson bar, stab it in the ground a few times to get a good bite, take your bar in both hands, put a little ass behind it and slam the pipe home till it bottoms out. I'll save explaining the proper use a a whacker for another time.
The wages and benefits are good, but mostly I do it for the double entendres.

In the water and sewer industry we still get to call that a manhole, thankfully, the attempt to rename it a "personell access structure" failed miserably.

Methinks you’re engaging in some egregious “four legs good; two legs bad” in making it a precondition that anyone to be involved in healing those “deep rifts” has to “leave the slime pit behind”. In addition, the implication that there is no one there “who acts as though any of us have a point” is simply poisoning the well as I at least, among others, have frequently conceded the contrary – for which I have received no small amount of flak, although no banning.

But that is not to mention that that precondition is decidedly unrealistic – what do you expect? An oath of allegiance to FTB and Gender Feminism plus some ritual spitting on Evolutionary Psychology? Seems to me that those issues are substantially or significantly the bones of contention generating those “rifts”, not some peripheral questions about the seating arrangements.

One might suggest, as a starting point, a drawing up of a list on each side followed by a determination of which items are in common. Non-negotiable ultimatums hardly seem to qualify.

Agreed. Putting ultimatums before laying out real terms is putting the cart before the horse. Have these people never actually been in a negotiation/mediation. Ultimatums are the final draw. They are used only when a point has to be forced.

KiwiInOz wrote:The Patriarchy at Work. http://www.smh.com.au/small-business/bl ... 2do2k.html

From the article:
In her new book Liberate Leadership, Suzanne Mercier writes that some of the difficulties faced by women in the workplace can be attributed to the different criteria by which they’re judged. So much is expected of them – both at home and at work – and this creates a fear of failure or, conversely, a fear of success.
in Caitlin Moran's book "How to be a Woman" she makes a similar observation but she extends that to imply that men do this to each other too...as do women v other women. Caitlin's conclusion is that therefore it's not a gender related harrasment, though sometimes it is...but more about a judgement of normalacy.... if you are in some way don't fit into the cookie cutter pattern of what's normal for a Man or a Woman you WILL be harrased. The in-group rules and dictates what is normal.

This matches my experience in that a lot of women over the years have told me the same thing. A lot of women behave like dicks. Not news at all.
In a British poll published in HR Magazine’s December issue, women were asked whether they’d prefer their boss to be male or female. Those who preferred a bloke outnumbered those who wanted a woman by six to one. Another survey, conducted last year by the Workplace Bullying Institute in the US, found most of the bullying that females experience is inflicted not by men but by other women.
I remember one female supervisor was notorious for keeping a box of kleenex on her desk, because invariably any woman leaving her office was in tears and clutching one.

Eventually she got breast cancer. I do not recall anyone passing around a get-well card or doing a collection for flowers while she was in hospital. I can not recall if anyone attended her funeral either.

Oh well, live like a dick, die like one I suppose.

Git is correct. Mark Chu-Carroll wrote about this on his blog Good Math, Bad Math a couple of years back. There's even a wikipedia entry for it, here.

*shrug* Thought it was common knowledge.

I find it telling - not to mention amusing - how she immediately assumed the woman was in an oppressive relationship with her husband, without once considering that any other dynamic could be in play. For all she knew, the guy could have had a backbreaking day at work, and the wife volunteered to deal with the shopping; or maybe she was the one with the power, and had told hubby to keep the kids out of the way while she sorted out the groceries. But no - for a patronsing, middle-class honky eager to score an SJW no-prize, the apparently muslim woman was clearly being oppressed by a religious patriarchy, and would no doubt be so grateful to be helped out by a snooty, condescending twat feminist sister like her.

White Guilt
"They don't know what is good for them - we know better". The point isn't to make the lives of anyone easier, except for the whites themselves. Deciding what needs to be done, and how it needs to be done is based upon reducing as much White Guilt as possible, so they can feel better about themselves.
The minorities are no better off after all is said and done, but the whites are able to sleep at night.

Note to Greta and FtB: You are playing host to libel. Real, genuine, no shit, utterly baseless, fact-free libel. Not sweary words like "cunt" or "cock" but actual, no kidding, legally actionable defamation. You are at Grothe's mercy the moment he decides to lawyer up.
They are like religious nuts and conspiracy theorists. They have a line they like to wheel out and they use it over and over again. They think if they keep repeating it, it will become fact. A bit like a 9/11 troofer who repeatedly tells us "sheeple" no wreckage of a plane was found at the Pentagon. No matter how many times you politely correct them, they come back with the same line, Ray Comfort style. With regard to the Baboons using this tactic, I assume it is intellectual dishonesty rather than sheer stupidity. But it is hard to tell.

Jewish identity is so fucking confusing. I took a class called "The Anthropology of Jewishness" which I thought perfectly explained how difficult a subject they are.

Speaking of epic mustaches, Ron Jeremy is currently in the hospital after heart surgery. I think all the pitters should go over to the CNN message board and wish him a speedy recovery.

True!

I play a lot of video games (I have for years in fact), and the women in these games are fucking annoying. They spend the bulk of their time flirting with guys and talking about how sexy they are. It is irritating in the extreme. And then they will bitch and whine about the use of various 'swear words' and complain about how the 'mean boys club is supremely sexist.' Remind you of anyone????

I was also part of the FTP warez scene in the late 90s and throughout most of the 2000's. Every single women I met in 'the scene' was a conniving, manipulative bitch. They were always trying to score points, and get all of the male attention.

This seems to be the common theme here. They want male attention, and will stop at nothing to get it.

Anyways, I got along fine with women, for the most part, b/c I was not out to flirt with, or 'steal' their guys. I was accepted amongst the guys as 'one of them' and I never ever had a problem. But the women spent all of their time backstabbing one another and jockeying to be #1 most admired in all of the land!

I really feel for the 'nerds', when the radfems come in, and say 'hey, you better change your behaviour, this is OUR space now'. And then they take it a step further and emasculate the 'nerds' some more 'well, those nerds put down women b/c they have small dicks tee hee.'

Seriously fucking bitchy and completely disrespectful way to talk about male gamers.

I don't think he has ever claimed to be representative of anything but his own views, which may or may not line up with those most prevalent in the Pit. His view that sitting down and talking with opponents is worthwhile might not even be widely shared here, it's hard to know.
If he's signed up for this, then he has. Look at what Moore's page actually says.
In order to facilitate this I am calling for representatives from both camps in these blog wars to sit down with me in what may be the first of many live and public google hangouts to discuss grievances and come back to the world of civil discussion and cooperation.
This is probably just careless writing, but I can see the end result a mile off and I know full well how this will be spun by the FC(n). The slyme-pit sent their best representative... and he got owned. Haha, stupid pitters.

I know full well what their self-serving hypocritical opinions amount to, I read their shitty blogs. Justin Vaculas view that sitting down and talking things out is likely to be productive is not one shared by me. If you know Moore personally Damion you should be urging him to change the wording in his post or putting disclaimers into the eventual show.

Lol. I'd do that, but let's be clear: I'd do it in full-on asshole mode the entire time. We all know they have no integrity, and zero desire to have this end. But if I could spool them up until they were screaming profanities and yanking their mic cords out of their computers so hard they broke them?

That would be GLORIOUS.

So yeah, I'd do that. Because that's the only reason to talk to them at all.
