Thank you for the petition and your efforts!

Remember that they are not reasonable people, and that it is their problem, not yours, so don't take their behavior personally (not that you were, but it is likely you'll see more and worse of that).

[curriejean]

My favourite part is where the writer magically claims the opening paragraph to be passive aggressive in a post titled "Fixed that for you."

[Aneris]

[...] It appears that these people have created a cult of confession, a sisterhood of the oppressed bound together by guilt, shame and victimhood. I quote from Robert Lifton's "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism"

The cult of confession can offer the individual personal meaningful psychological satisfactions in the continuing opportunity for emotional catharsis and for relief of suppressed guilt feeling, especially insofar as these are associated with self-punitive tendencies to get pleasure from personal degradation. More than this, the sharing of confession enthusiasms can create an orgiastic sense of "oneness" of the most intense intimacy with fellow confessors and of the dissolution of self into the great flow of the Movement. And there is also, at least initially, the possibility of genuine self-revelation and of self-betterment through the recognition that "the thing that has been exposed is what I am."

Although Lifton wrote this [...]

You wrote some good things already. It's interesting how it comes together...without knowing Lifton, my own observation a while ago....

[...] They would attack on the mildest reason and blow it out of proportion, and then extort apologies and the like from their targets. Otherwise, if a new user would approach already submissive, ideally with a sexist confession story, they would welcome them. [...]

You are welcome (and I extend the thanks to others). Not to worry about it getting to me, I habitually throw myself into rhetorical battles about ideas that matter to me and I've mostly hardened up. If it starts to get to me I have a back yard and a fire pit to retreat to. :)

I didn't ask for names, dickhead. I asked for examples of a left-wing news organisation that distorted and ignored the facts on the issue to suit their ideology. So, go on, there's been a lot of false shit in the left wing media about Nuclear, GMO, Immigration and Islam.

BBC, C4, MSNBC. There's three for starters. Just as bad as Fox is.

So Nugent will respond, and no doubt he will “make a stand” and agree with Sub Man that my blog post about “Skep tickle” is like the Nuremberg Race Law of 1935. Either he will disinvite me from the conference, or I will be forced to withdraw, because the slime pit will do whatever it takes to hound me out.

She's already setting up her flounce strategy. Even if Nugent doesn't tell her to bugger off she'll skip the conference and claim that we "forced" her to do so.

"Ophelia F Benson" signed the statement from an Australian IP. Removed.

(Oh and about email verification -- it only verifies that the signature is associated with an email address, any email address. The form allows one verification-optional signature, then requires email verification for any additional signatures from the same IP.)

http://www.skepticwomen.com/welcome-statement

55 signs so far with only a few questionable names.

Eva Braun, MRA Doormat and Elisabeth Fritzl are certainly worth checking out.

Elisabeth Fritzl? Oh my, I am very much hoping that this is a real but unfortunate name. She is written down as coming from Germany when the actual person comes from Austria. Unfortunately this is more likely evidence of stupidity on the part of the poster rather than a coincidental with the name.

Incidentally, for our guests, what you are seeing with me now is an example of a woman finding the use of a vile rape case to score points utterly, utterly disgusting. How completely shameful.

Now, if the person who entered that is actually reading:

You are a suppurating pustule unworthy of gracing the backside of a blackmailer.

Why so cross, Corylus? Well now, let me show you, darling. Take a moment now to imagine yourself trying to explain to Elisabeth - to her face - why you thought it acceptable to capitalize on her name and experience.

"We-ell, I thought it would make a good point about Stockholm Syndrome and be damn funny at the same time .... "

You see? You see?

You execrable lowlife.

Oh, cmon. Trolling is always funny... for the person doing it. I remember the last time I engaged in some light-hearted trolling over Nugent's blog, to piss Eucliwoo and that guy posting the Paintshops of the FCBrigade. Hilarious for me, as I managed to make both of them argue a point that had nothing to do with anything they were discussing.

I do have to commend the guy/girl signing as Elisabeth Fritzl. It's a stroke of malice that makes the childish internet troll inside me proud. If you want to troll, go for the throat. You should cause serious discomfort, while taking nothing serious at all. That's why I like Franc's outbursts of verbal abuse against the FCBrigade: it reeks of that "I don't care, but they do, and boy how they do care" attitude I find commendable in these boring PC days.

Just saying 'research' doesn't absolve you from providing it. Link? I have a feeling that I've already explained why this 'research' is faulty without reading it, but I will still read it and see if I am mistaken.

Sorry if I' a little late to the party commenting on this one but (giggle) I just (guffaw) couldn't (tehee) (blows a hair ball) resist (BAWAHAHAHA!)
You link to that filthy opinion piece and call it research? Have I got a bridge to sell you!

My politics? Conservative - in the Eisenhower sense + Liberal - in the Truman sense (subtract Korea from that, if you will.) I believe the Repubs represent the 10% (be reasonable - just give us all your $$$$$$$ and we will leave town - better yet YOU leave town & we will stay) waaaaaay on the right - and the Dems represent the 10% (be reasonable - just give us all of your $$$$$$$$ and we will figure out a way to blow it.) waaaaaaay over on the left. Leaving the rest of us unrepresented.

The news? Know of any agency that just reports what happened? Anything else is just propaganda. I WILL say that the left leaning media at least trys to include the facts. Not so for Fox. BBC is probably the best out there.

[Southern]

Im also not convinced by the "corporate media" argument (someone else here argued this point), corporations aren't inherently conservative and in fact many of them (GE, Facebook, Apple) lean decidedly to the left (and they have reasons for doing so).

lmao

Agree, is this a joke? You clearly don't understand what is meant by 'corporate media'. Apple leans left? On what planet? They use sweatshop labor and tax havens to avoid paying taxes on 60-70% of their profits, just because leftists like and use their products doesn't mean Apple itself is leftist. Popular in Hollywood != left leaning.

Apple makes their products on Chinese sweatshops = giving money to the dirty Commies.

Leftist bastards!

Unfortunately, it's more likely that she'll still attend the meeting, because the tickets have been purchased and people are counting on her and whatever blah blah blah. Then it will be a courageous long-suffering harassed martyr wankfest on her part, wherein she braves "attacks" from the evil Vacula, and somehow manages to continue the noble struggle against oppressors of privileged white women everywhere. Her supporters and fans will buy her meals and drinks and send her money and gush about her courage. Yuk.

From an article on Egon Krenz, the last Communist leader of East Germany when the Wall fell:

In Communist party terms he was a roaring success. He joined the East German Socialist Unity party in 1955 when he was 18 and moved steadily up the ranks, joining the politburo in 1983. For nearly a decade he was East Germany’s “crown prince”, the man most likely to succeed the state’s veteran leader Erich Honecker.

He visited West Germany in the summer of 1989 when nobody suspected that the Wall would fall, still confident that his regime would survive him. Brigitte Schulte, a West German Social Democrat who accompanied him, described him as “utterly unsympathetic”, and recalled how he spoke knowledgeably about choice foods, fine wines and all the privileges that were denied to ordinary East Germans. “He struck me as the consummate apparatchik, a true child of the system, surrounded by the oiliest advisers, the sort of people who would do anything,” she said at the time.

I've been watching Svan for some time now and trying to sort where I recognize her personality type from - so familiar yet......and there it is. The souless, unfeeling aparatchik. The faceless person who signs the warrant, who snuffs the light, the utterly necessary cog in the machinery needed for the totalitarian society to operate. Change the name to 'Svan' and party/state references to 'FtB' in that article and it fits eerily well.

And the same people, literally the same people like Greg Laden went after me. Perhaps with some of the wind out of their sails from the utter fail they experienced with Abbie. With me no one was concerned about my personal safety because I'm kind of a mean asshole anyway, but the result was just the same: Not good for them.

Yet they still do it. Because they can't help themselves. They are nutbags who are increasingly doing what they do not out of some strategy but out of a deep dysfunctional psychological need.

What's more, someone could make the argument that Abbie had it coming by actively frustrating them, and I have it coming because I basically ask for it, but they are now working their playbook on people who they can make no reasonable argument to justify doxing. We can take as given that Ophelia Benson doesn't have three brain cells to rub together to come up with justification, but even Stephanie Svan, who was formerly Rovian in her ability to gin up rationales, came out with the thinnest, most laughable "they are like terrorists" justification.

At this point they are just flailing, acting out their frustration and, as Abbie said, desperation.

Rather than puff them up with comparison to real monsters, we have to keep in mind that, ultimately, they are just a bunch of half-bright assholes playing stupid games on the internet and, at best, winning stupid prizes.
