Hmmm. On second thoughts, here is another reason. A much more compelling one for me.

Let us suppose that I would benefit from reading the views of a person. But that person, for whatever reason is discouraged from posting at the Slymepit because of NSFW images.

Then I would care. I would care very much. I would want people to stop posting NSFW images.

This is why some people might get fustrated with me. Because I might agree, but not in a way that is in alignment with whatever the view may be.

Oh, man, this whole scene over the last few days has been frickin' awesome. Glad I didn't fill in the Pit, and thanks to everyone who's been making a difference.

From one part-time bassist to erikthebassist (and everyone else), my all time favorite musician joke:

An anthropologist decides to investigate the natives of a far-flung tropical island.
He flew there, found a guide with a canoe to take him up the river to the remote
site where he would make his collections. About noon on the second day of
travel up the river they began to hear drums. Being a city boy by nature, the
anthropologist was disturbed by this. He asked the guide, "What are those
drums?"
The guide turned to him and said "Drums OK, but VERY BAD when they stop."
Then, after some hours, the drums suddenly stopped! This hit the
anthropologist like a ton of bricks, and he yelled at the guide: "The Drums have
stopped, what happens now?"
The guide crouched down, covered his head with his hands and said, "Bass
Solo".

I'm chuckling. Can I have permission to post this on my facebook DGS page for the anthropologists there?

Fuck it. Gonna do it anyways

Considering I heard it twenty years ago, and just copy/pasted it off somebody's website, you totally have all the permission I can give!

If you want a break from the tone trolling of Michael Nugent. Clean energy is near and dear to me and medical radioactive isotopes to treat cancers are in terribly short supply.

That was awesome - thanks for posting it!

I read some good news today regarding cancer treatment research. Years ago, as a postdoc, I developed and characterized a genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) for an aggressive form of inherited cancer. It typically affects people who have the cancer syndrome when they're in their teens, or as young adults, and it is nearly impossible to treat effectively. Doesn't respond well to chemotherapy or radiotherapy (and the patient has a high risk of developing a secondary malignancy as a result of the treatment), and very difficult to remove completely with surgery. Over the years, with a number of collaborators, we used the GEMM to identify genes that might provide therapeutic targets. My lab looked at the genomic instability of the tumors, and of tissues that might develop secondary malignancies following radio- or chemotherapy to treat the primary tumor.

Well, today a friend sent me a link to a paper indicating that my postdoc mentor's current lab group has cured the tumors in the GEMM, with both genetic and pharmacological approaches. Cured them. Gone! Their next step is a clinical trial in humans who have this type of cancer, with the pharmacologic agent. Go SCIENCE!!!! :dance:

Plenty of nuance that has been missed in the ensuing shitfest as Karla quite rightly points out.

By the time he posted that last picture he knew very well that he wasn't appreciated here. Even I fired into him when he posted the Hookers from Hell pic and again when he came out with some pathetic attempt at a joke. Plenty of others noted his stupidity and let him know. He continued trying to get a positive response to his shit for several days and failed.

Sooooo ... as far as I can tell... she is now in agreement that these things are not misogyny, not being attacks upon all women, but being attacks on a individual ... like for example calling EBW a two-faced hypocritical lying little cunt.

When I go to a gig I take note of how many strings the bassist has. Four strings, great, he's probably going to be ok. Five strings, possibly ok, but more likely we're going to get a fucking awful bass solo. Once you get to six strings and over, you're pretty much guaranteed that he's going to emerge from the shadow of the other musicians and show us exactly what he can do when not being held back by the others, prepare to be amazed. Or not. In other words get ready to head for the bar when this arsehole steps forward.

Thanks for pointing that out ReneeHendricks. I genuinely feel bad for O. Benson.

For the record so do I. This is an example of genuine harassment in my opinion. If she makes hay out of it I would not blame her one bit.

In one of my posts I opened with the statement that he was not only feeding the troll but in his eagerness to score points publicising something distasteful. At that time I did not know if he had Benson's permission to do so but if he did not his behaviour is reprehensible.

His finger was vibrating frenziedly with the extacy of a 'gothcha'.

It also got him out of a few holes, one being answering questions about morals.

It also got him out of a few holes, one being answering questions about morals.

Right but it ended up making him look dishonest. I stopped reading at that point. The more honest thing to do would have been to add it to his list of things he already thinks are wrong with the 'pit, "Here is number 51," and then actually address the questions raised (Skepsheik's for example). Instead he deflected, and now we know he doesn't actually want to advance the conversation (I know many people already thought this, I had some hope though).

She's been far too active in the "HOW DARE YOU DEMAND I TAKE WHAT I DISH OUT" bullshit for me to suddenly give a fuck about how she's feeling. If she wishes the people she has shat upon to suddenly be solicitous of her mental outlook, maybe she should start being a little less of an uncaring harpy herself.

I'm with Welch here. Ophelia's almost comical self-regard is evident in almost everything she writes. She dishes out uncharitable criticism of others on an almost daily basis, all while demonstrating a spectacular, bristling unwillingness to admit error or accept the slightest correction.

If she wants to get less flak, she'll have to stop acting like a spoiled, infallible brat and get over her self-serving delusion that the reason she gets pushback is that she is an "outspoken woman."

It's no accident that she (like Laden and PZ) has alienated so many former allies (including her authorial collaborator) and that her best friends in the movement appear to be Zvan, Aratina Sewer, Josh the SpokesHarpy, and EllenBeth Wachs.

I'm leaning towards cynicism with regards to this situation, especially considering what I've read of Benson's output over the last year or so. I have my depressive phases (as do many people), but I tend to stay off the internet during them, and try to spend more time outdoors exercising and playing with my dogs, or visiting with my friends. I don't have Twitter or Facebook accounts either, and I know better than to go look myself up on RateMyProfessor or similar. Really, if Ophelia's pals (and she receives several orders of magnitude more cyber-attention and sympathy than I ever would) wanted to do her a favor, they would suggest that she restrict her internet wanderings, at least for awhile. Given her conference attendance and speaking, it's not as if she has social anxiety that prevents her from interacting with people IRL. She might like people online more than she does in meatspace, but she's certainly not the only person who has that bias.

SallyStrangerthanFiction is dumb as a box of hammers:

BTW – did you manage to steal an IUD from welfare services Sal?

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Am I supposed to be scared off asking about your pictures because you want to dig around in my uterus and claim I’m poor?

You were the twit that tweeted about defrauding your welfare system. I guess it’s what you do between building rockets and watching MythBusters -

If that was in reference to "Sally" over at the Nugent blog all I have to say is that I do not think it was Sally Strange.

I said so here:

Oops - apparently she's claiming to be a different Sally. My bad? :oops:

Meanwhile, the Skepchicks have yet to come up with a Thursday Bad Graph post, or whatever it was that Becky Whatnot called her radical new idea.

Seriously, it's like the entire FfTB and Skepchick crew are a load of Poes, like a bunch of religionists pretending to be atheists to discredit us by behaving like complete fucking idiots, freeloaders and general cunts.
