I would just like to warn everyone to put the brakes on blaming the Nugent Talks effort as the source of information for the outing. I don't want you to end up with egg on your face. I am pretty sure that is incorrect given the information posted here & on the other blog. I'd dig it up, but dammit this gender wars shit is tedious and I have a life.

But you are indeed correct about the complete fuck-up of logic within that thread.
This is what happens when you decide skepticism is not only superfluous to your needs but a calling card of your enemy.
They completely mix up several pieces of information that blindingly obviously demonstrate that it is Svan who first reveals Skeps name - but even then it is in reply to one of Skeps previous nyms, not her current one. They then simply state the connection themselves "X is Skep tickle" (although there is no direct connection online) and then say it was Skep tickle who outed herself!
I have to say that I am genuinely shocked how disreputable Ophelia has become.
Her habit of labeling anyone who disagrees with her as a 'liar' is going to bite her on the ass sooner or later when she tries it with someone with the cash to hire a libel attorney.

The problem with the Free Thought Fuckwits going the sponsorship route is, realistically, who in their right mind (and in possession of the requisite scratch) would sponsor them.

A key quote: 'Due to Lewontin’s Fallacy, it is widely understood among the "well informed general public" that "biology has disproved race." '
(Here's a link to the wikipedia article on "Lewontin’s Fallacy": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Gene ... 's_Fallacy)
Translation:DNA studies do not indicate that separate classifiable subspecies (races) exist within modern humans. While different genes for physical traits such as skin and hair color can be identified between individuals, no consistent patterns of genes across the human genome exist to distinguish one race from another. There also is no genetic basis for divisions of human ethnicity. People who have lived in the same geographic region for many generations may have some alleles in common, but no allele will be found in all members of one population and in no members of any other.
You people are too ignorant to have an opinion. Fuck off and leave us alone to do our research.

I know you're joking, but just in case anyone takes it seriously: it's not okay to doxx people. Both "sides" are probably large enough that there will be someone willing to doxx their opponents, but that does not make it okay to doxx some or all of the people on the other side in retaliation. OB's behavior is reprehensible, but that doesn't mean it's okay to put out OB's info, let alone the info of any of her commenters.Southern wrote:So doxxing is fair game now.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
You know, the only time I've ever been compelled to delve into doxxing is when I finally got fed up with an *ACTUAL* stalker screwing with me and my family. And that took nearly four years before I finally had had enough.
I'm fortunate enough to work from home (when I get the work) but do get worried occasionally as many of my clients are religious. I decided a few months back to nip that particular bud before it decided to blossom in any of the vacuous minds of the FfTB/Skepchick/A+ groups and let my clients know that I separate my socializing from my work. They know my non-religious stance and are ok with it.
So, I have to suppress the urge to scream at Benson and her little flunkies to "dox me, bitch!"

I don't fully understand what cognitive issue means in this context. Honest question, is it like saying mass delusion or more like cultural artifact?Aneris wrote:
Red heads are at higher risk of sun burns and skin cancer. That doesn't establish a red headed human race. It is a cognitive issue.
The readhead analogy doesn't work because sunburns and skin cancers afflict in higher numbers black albinos, pasty scandinavians, etc. In other words, light skin is a better candidate cause. The conditions I mentioned earlier are race-specific (perhaps not exclusively, given the higher genetic variability of human populations compared to, say, canine races). However, medicine isn't my field and hopefully some resident doc will enlighten us.
For your cognitive theory to be preferable, it should achieve greater explanatory powers before we trade in the greater simplicity of its competing theory.
As a direct challenge to you, what cognitive issue could explain the 100% success rate achieved by forensic pathologists in race identification through skeleton analysis?
In human history, populations have been separated enough for significant differences to arise, as they do in other species.
Denying this is yet another instance of human exceptionalism.

Being skeptical is good, but you have to be skeptical in both directions.Dick Strawkins wrote:I don't think Nugent himself released the information, but, as far as I know, the participant on the FTB side, Svan, is the only person who had the email address that Ophelia used to contact Skep tickle. I think it's reasonable to assume that the info came via her.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
As if someone should be worried about what those self-righteous hypocrites think or not. Look, if they want to think some is bent on doxxing them and get all pissed and cowering in fear and getting triggered and then using this as some sort of battering ram on their stupid fight against common sense and truth, what-fucking-ever. Nobody but themselves really cares about their stupid faces anyway.LMU wrote:I know you're joking, but just in case anyone takes it seriously: it's not okay to doxx people. Both "sides" are probably large enough that there will be someone willing to doxx their opponents, but that does not make it okay to doxx some or all of the people on the other side in retaliation.

I think the only info Granny Goodness should be worried about is the one about her sucking virgins' lifeforce to stay beautiful and vigorous. It's hard to find virgins nowdays, isn't it?

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
Remember folks: It's okay to dox Slymepitters because they are dangerous misogynists.
In fact it's probably a public service. Someone should give them a medal. Think of all the women they've saved by throwing around Skep Tickle's name.

The inputs however can be problematic. IOW someone can be illiterate due to lack of education but can still have a fairly high IQ ( note I am not an expert I could be talking out my arse).LMU wrote:I thought IQ was well-defined as the outcome of a test. Or the calculated outcome after multiple applications of tests.

Last time I checked there have been attempts to create "culture and literacy neutral" tests using for example geometric shapes.

Comments: As a skeptic I have found freethoughtblogs useless . The last thing they are is skeptics. The comment sections are toxic. If you present the wrong opinion then a wave of ignorance and intolerance will wash over you leaving you feeling like you need a shower. PZ Myers has described his comment section as something to fear and he is correct the level of incoherent babbling is indeed scary. Freethoughtblogs has done far harm than good and it goes on even as I write thisComments: Most of the blogs here are about drumming up hysteria, which then drives hits and, thus, revenue. (Place is chock full of ads, some of which even get around AdBlock.) I'm no expert in time series analysis, and the data are volatile, but it seems like they may have passed peak outrage and are on the path to steady decline. People have gotten tired of their shenanigans. Maybe the typical viewer (a young male with some college education) is moving on with their professional life. Who knows really? In any case, the glory days of FTB are probably over ...Comments: I'm an atheist, and I live in a part of America where there aren't any atheists, so the only way I could find an atheist community was on the internet. So I searched around and stumbled upon Freethought Blogs. At first glance it seems okay. It's easy to navigate and some of the blog posts are informative. Then I looked deeper and saw the ugliness hidden beneath...:think:A Hermit, only positive review wrote:All of the content is thought provoking, and sometimes controversial. If a casual visitor decides to wade into the comments on one of the latter topics they had better come prepared to defend their ideas as trolls and fools are not treated gently, but contrary to the other review here non-comformity is not only tolerated it is actively encouraged.
Presumably from their Mom's basement?Audience Snapshot
Based on internet averages, freethoughtblogs.com is visited more frequently by males who are in the age range 18-24, have no children, received some college education and browse this site from home.
The detailed visitor stats are more telling - notably a dearth of woman visitors. Could it possibly be that Fftb doesn't actually represent the interests of the female population? :think:
I wonder how much of that is from the Atheist Experience blog? They do have a lot of youtube mirrors.

Re: Jim the Pleb Made Me Do It
That ultimately doesn't matter though, because this is preschool level stuff. Two wrongs do not make a right. It doesn't matter what SPs did or didn't do. It doesn't even matter if Skep Tickle personally did something bad (hint: they didn't, so this can't be retribution). You are just doing something to try to hurt Skep Tickle because you can. This is the essence of bullying.LMU wrote:"Tell that to Skep Tickle's buddies at the pit who doxxed me in precisely the way you're talking about."deLurch wrote:--snipped--
