I understand that some idiots are probably going to make the mistake of assuming anyone who is a member of this forum and speaks in public is speaking for the entire forum there isn't much can be done about that except make it clear that isn't the case.

Why should we let up? In any way? These fuckers needs to be utterly annhiliated from the atheist community. Fuck 'em the ground.

- No goddamn harassment policies (except those cons are obliged to have due to insurance issues).
- No goddamn anti- free speech rules where you're not allowed to "offend" anyone at cons/seminars.
- I'll call a cunt a cunt and a bitch a bitch as much as I goddamn well please, thank you.
- No goddamn free childcare at cons. If people want to have kids, fine. If they're stupid and got a kid without the means to support that kid, not my goddamn problem. If I attend a conference, I want my money to go to that conference's motherfucking content (i.e. speakers, dinner, location, etc.); not Greta Christina's adopted African trans-little person.
- Everyone is free to make as much "fake" jewellery as they want.
- No fucking "affirmative action" in regards to the gender/sexuality/race of the speakers at conferences. If there are qualified female speakers, they will be invited. This isn't kindergarten where we need the teacher to make everyone play with the unpopular kid.

FTB and A+theism are ruining the good name of atheism. And we should do everything in our power to stop them.

And it is intended to benefit PARENTS, for fux sake, not just XX chromosome breeders.
It is for Dad's and Grandparent's and Foster carers.
And I despise the OP's Libertarian assertion that if one "decides" to have offspring, one should be rich enough at all times to be able to farm them out to contract carers. Utterly unsympathetic & unrealistic codswallop to apply that condition to other people.

PZ is a dick (so no change there)
Apparently there has been a little local trouble in the middle-east, over which voices here were raised, then lowered again.
Justin has reached his goal and he WILL go to the ball.
Tentative fingers are stretching across the divide for a reconciliation over the deep rift, nominations for representatives are being sought.....actually screw sending Welch to fuck with 'em....LETS SEND REAP!
Oh and you are a racist, misogynist harasser....so again no change there;)

Oh and some cunt nicked my avatar.
I'm all for sending Franc personally, no offence Justin but...its the tash mate.... ;)

Plus you said the word Cunt, you racist rapist!! :D

Now fuck off to bed!

Richard Dworkins - I'm not entirely convinced by your post that Justin's actions have hampered his chances at the conference or talking about a cease fire twixt us and the Baboons - seriously, those people will attempt to find ANYTHING to make someone who disagrees with them or does not adhere to the overly hysteric Rules they seem to think are important about. They don't want to actually discuss any of their faults and they want to make it utterly impossible for the person who would go and discuss the subject of what is wrong between the Slymers and the Baboons.

Justin could say - and has been saying - any number of reasonable and non offensive things - they would fucking pillory him no matter what! Any of us could be sent to talk cease fire and we would still be the bastards.

Like Mykeru said, no matter how much time and trouble you go to in order to denounce this lot with evidence based reasoning, the fuckers can spout their bullshit and enough lazy people agree with them

Look at Shermer - I think he is actually quite a calm and reasonable chap - Ophelia would have us believe that he Nazified the Baboons - he went out of his way to show her that, in intricate detail, that actually, no, he hadn't said anything of the sort - "fuck that" say the Baboons, "you evil, racist, rapist misogynist" etc etc etc

They even have the gall to send out idiotic demands that before anything is discussed that we become like them before the discussion is had - what kind of level playing field is that???

'Guys don't do that' constitutes a thesis? Am I missing something?
Besides which, can anyone else make head or tail of that sentence?
The argument seems to go like this:

1) The elevator story is an ordinary event.
2) If an ordinary event is recounted by a man, you would not question it.
3) (1,2) You would not question the elevator story if a man recounted it.

4) The elevator story was recounted by a woman.
5) If you question a story recounted by a woman that you would not have questioned if it was recounted by a man, you are guilty of sexist behaviour.
6) (3,4,5) If you question the elevator story, you are guilty of sexist behaviour.

7) If you 'legitimately'(?) argue against Rebecca Watson saying 'guys don't do that' then you question the elevator story.
8) If you're on the 'other side' but don't make rape threats or use slurs then you 'legitimately'(?) argue against Rebecca Watson saying 'guys don't do that'.

C) (6,7,8) Those on the 'other side' who don't make rape threats or use slurs are guilty of sexist behaviour.


I think it's unsound - I see no reason to believe premises 2, 7 or 8 are true.

The elevator story, as told by Rebecca, is part of a narrative that involved her:

1. Telling the audience of the conference that she didn't like and didn't want to be propositioned.
and,
2. Repeating the same point about not wanting to be propositioned to the group she was speaking to in the hotel bar.

The problem I have with this is really one of basic skepticism.
First, there is a video available that shows that point number 1 is simply untrue.
She didn't tell the audience that she doesn't want to be propositioned.
So, she is either deliberately lying about this point - or she doesn't have an accurate memory.
In either case this gives me reason to be skeptical about aspects of the remainder of her story.

I don't have any physical evidence that she did complain about getting propositioned to the people in the bar - but what the hell, I'll assume it is a distinct possibility - however I don't see why I should also assume that the guy in question heard her say this. Remember, she claims he was on the edge of the group.
He might not have heard that particular statement, or, alternatively, he might not have thought what he was doing was propositioning her.

In any case, some degree of skepticism (about the sequence of events or the intent of the guy) is deserved.

For the record, if someone did approach her in this way, it does sound creepy, in my opinion.
But it would also sound creepy for a strange woman to approach a man in this way. Or for a strange woman to approach a woman. Or a strange man to approach a man.
It is the action of the individual that is the problem, not the genders of the participants.
I have seen more specific complaints of women making unwanted approaches at conferences towards other attendees (both male and female) than I have of specific incidences of men making unwanted approaches.

To twist the situation into purely one of misogyny - (by which I guess they mean men in general acting in sexist ways towards women in general) denies any element of agency on the part of women themselves and is actually a sexist way of looking at the situation.

Really? I think you should read also the previous couple of posts concerning porn and s/h/it being a minor.
You could also checke my complete lack of concern in the posts that followed. If you manage to see through the haze of your spittle, that is.

Incidentally, this is what led to Eucliwood's muzzling and the consensus was that she was threatening to trump up accusation and involve the feds.

For the record, if someone did approach her in this way, it does sound creepy, in my opinion.
But it would also sound creepy for a strange woman to approach a man in this way. Or for a strange woman to approach a woman. Or a strange man to approach a man.

As far as I am concerned, the event NEVER happened, and EGuy is a confabulation.
Reasons?
Her ever-changing and ever more elaborate narratives that utterly conflicted with each other to the point of impossibility, and conflicted with the physical reality of such a short lift-ride to an huge extent.
Now that we learn that she was primed with the fictional narrative the night before by travelling in that very lift to her room ith some male colleagues only adds further (superfluous) weight to that notion.
On top of that, the ethanol-soaked and exhausted mind is very prone to quite ludicrously impossible confabulations that the afflicted can swear black & blue actually occurred.

EG is a confabulated fiction, beyond all reasonable doubt.
To give RW the benefit of the doubt is to be anti-scientific, and anti-forensic.

I did that very thing.
Can still see zero evidence of Eucli "threatening legal action" against you.
Then you handily employ empty ad hominem against me, as though that might might render your bogus claim somehow true:

"the consensus"? When does unqualified 3rd party anonymous consensus constitute the verdict of "threatening legal action"? (Aprt from FfTB)
As for the "muzzling" of Eucliwood, that is a distinct issue, and unrelated to your claim the she "threatened you with legal action", which is obvious bollox, so why include it? Possibly because you don't have a case, perhaps.

Sheesh! Did you pen the FfTB operating manual?

I'll go away if you just admit the unvarnished naked truth: Eucliwood DID NOT threaten you with legal action.
OK?

Skeptical thinking in action here, folks.
It applies equally to BOTH sides.

MKG, "threatening with legal action" was an example of a usage of to threat that doesn't imply the victim cowing - as you in another of your supreme mind-reading efforts - were ascribing to me.

I was trying to discuss something with LSuoma, following an incident he's well aware of. The incident involved trumped up false accusations, not legal action. You interjected and began to make demands as I were talking to you and to your pedantic and utterly odious Aspberger self. I was not.

Now fuck off, cunt.

And I despise the OP's Libertarian assertion that if one "decides" to have offspring, one should be rich enough at all times to be able to farm them out to contract carers. Utterly unsympathetic & unrealistic codswallop to apply that condition to other people.
He might well have just have said as an extension: "I don't agree with paying for public pavement so that people in wheelchairs can get to conferences!".
He must be a Septic.
Hahaha. I don't know what a "Septic" is, but I assume it's an oh- so- clever wordplay of "Skeptic"/"septic"(as in sewer).

I didn't state anything about what the fucking State should do regarding having kids (I am in favour of state-sponsored kindergarten, if you want to know). I said what I think conference-organisers should do with the money I pay them for attendance. I think the following:

Awesome speakers and a nice dinner > free child care for poor people

Oh, it's not sympathetic? So fucking what. I didn't tell you to squirt your semen in a woman instead of wearing a condom or have your womb filled with sperm for then to not take the day after pill (or getting a goddamn abortion). That is your goddamn choice and you should live with the consequences. I pay for welfare and other goods through my tax- bill for your kids' various services and that's fine. But when it comes to privately funded arrangements such as cons and seminars; I have no fucking wish to fund your poorly thought out life- choices (i.e. free childcare). They can have child-care, but the ones who make use of that should pay for it themselves.

Look at Shermer - I think he is actually quite a calm and reasonable chap - Ophelia would have us believe that he Nazified the Baboons - he went out of his way to show her that, in intricate detail, that actually, no, he hadn't said anything of the sort - "fuck that" say the Baboons, "you evil, racist, rapist misogynist" etc etc etc

They even have the gall to send out idiotic demands that before anything is discussed that we become like them before the discussion is had - what kind of level playing field is that???

Balls to them.
Hello Philip of Tealand.

To which post of mine are you referring? I have no recollection of ever suggesting any accommodation towards androphobes. In fact I'm pretty sure I've made it clear that they should be given not one iota of respect, they should be thankful that they have made such a fool of themselves to rise to our collective contempt rather than wallow beneath it.

Mind you I was half-cut an evening or two ago, so perhaps I did.

Originally, when the subject first came up, I admit it took me a few minutes to parse why free childcare would be a "woman's" issue as most women I know with sproggins are, like me, not the primary caregiver - but that does seem to have been the narrative around it. Women get childcare so they don't have to stay home! Yay! Feminism.

Yep, my point was really to say that it's not necessarily that someone doubts the elevator story that they might disagree with 'guys don't do that'. They may just disagree with the moral pronouncement that followed it (i.e. 'guys don't do that' itself).

They may not even disagree with that. For instance, their reason for being on 'this side' of elevatorgate might be the ad hominems against McGraw or Dawkins.

Or perhaps they're fine with that but not ok with things that happened later - like libelling monopod camera man, etc, or just the fact that anyone who disagrees is portrayed as some sort of MRA terrorist.

So really what I'm saying is that Lousy Canuck's argument doesn't get off the ground!
