A lot of video games, at least multiplayer ones, are all about competition. And in that context insults fly fast and easy, regardless of identity. I probably received (and dished out) more pointless, nerdraging abuse playing games like Counter Strike than I did even arguing on political forums. Trash talking is a given.

So much for Psycho Karen wanting her day in court.
Typical attrition warfare from the side with the most money to spend on lawyers.
KS defamed BR on the internet, to the entire world - so what's the jurisdiction? IOSWAL, but it seems that one can file for defamation in one's home state.

The whole thing is straight up revisionism - everything we know about memory shows the dynamic nature of it, and it is likely he has reinterpreted his older memories and made adjustments, using his current views and knowledge and inserting them into the memory. I'd wager that he may actually believe it, not realizing he has edited and updated his memories. It is also possible he's lying through his teeth, though.Konrad_Cruze wrote:PZ's is marked by the fact he was a child unable to interpret much of what was presented and not present for tons of context.
This was kinda my point. In own convoluted way this is what I was trying to say. I am the first to admit that I am no great orator, I would gladly discuss any point I make. Unless the response is FUCK OFF
The analysis of PZ living a sheltered life seems spot on (whoever it was), and that protection from what many of us know as "real life" gives him his views. Hell, even his safety net of tenure and the sheltered way of life as a college teacher in a small town, protects him from many things everyone else might experience.

Jones is basically indistinguishable from Hensley of a couple of weeks ago. She's gone full nutter.
Re: Y'all come back now, y'hear?
She has shown up on my twatter timeline so out of curiosity I looked at hers and saw this among other things:Dick Strawkins wrote:Here is the article Sara Jones wrote about Ayan Hirsi Ali that generated the criticism.
http://anthonybsusan.wordpress.com/2014 ... /#comments
Even Adam Lee criticizes her in the comments.
She comes across in the comments as amazingly arrogant - simply assuming she knows far more about the subject than those commenting, despite knowing nothing about the backgrounds of her commenters.
In her 'about the author' page she even uses a comment from a mentally ill individual on Al Stefanelli's facebook page as a way of promoting herself :
The death threat links to Zvans silly article that contains a screen capture of the comment.You might know me from Homeschoolers Anonymous, Cedarville University, or that one time I got a death threat.
http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamo ... n-the-u-s/
It was obvious that this wasn't a serious threat - the guy claimed to be a genetically engineered soldier and Al Stefanelli explained that he knew the guy and that he was mentally ill, hence the stupid comments.
I presume she has that "I have a vagina, do not dare to disagree with me, if you do it is "abuse" and I am being "harassed" victim thingy going.
She also pissed off a female feminist from Pakistan (friend of the pornstash that walks like a man if that was really a picture I saw of her hugging Vacula)
I was going to point out a few things to her, among them that she had attracted the ire of ex-Muslims but I do not suffer from SIWOTI syndrome so I am just watching with a certain amount of amusement.

Re: Y'all come back now, y'hear?
How much is lies and how much is revisionism? That's one of the things that is truly fascinating about these people. Is PZ lying to everybody else about his childhood, or just himself? Did Ophelia really just forget she co-wrote a book describing post-modernism as fashionable nonsense when the SJW PZ declared it a "good thing?" They can't really believe all that crap about sex being a social construct, can they? Are they even capable of discerning the facts from their fantasy? Inquiring minds (and mine) want to know.Badger3k wrote:The whole thing is straight up revisionism - everything we know about memory shows the dynamic nature of it, and it is likely he has reinterpreted his older memories and made adjustments, using his current views and knowledge and inserting them into the memory.

Re: Y'all come back now, y'hear?
Is anyone else here uncomfortable with someone trying to collect expenses to kick someone's ass (even if in jest)? If one of the ban-able offenses is "anything illegal", then conspiracy to commit a felony should fall into that category. Caveat: Sometimes it's difficult to separate bat-shit-crazy, parody and someone who is serious (read: If this was coming from someone who is stable, it could be laughed off. If it comes from less stable individuals, who knows?).

Pass the popcorn.“Honey� What would your response be Sarah, to any man who opened his remarks to you with “honey� You are being hugely patronising and I hope you know it.
I also find it hugely amusing that your “experience with Christianity†is a credential you brandish at every opportunity until it comes time to compare it with someone else’s experience with Islam. Then, all of a sudden, personal experience is “not definitiveâ€. Do you have those goalposts on wheels or do the Brothers help you to move them?
Admit it, Carol Smith got you bang to rights. You blithely assumed that a former C of E Englishwoman would have no direct experience of Islam and you were wrong. She knows more that you, but you haven’t the humility to acknowledge it.
As for Carol’s opinion that all the work done for women’s rights in Afghanistan is going to evaporate 5 minutes after the last Western troops leave that’s hardly controversial. Every Head of State in the West knows it. But they’ve spent enough blood and treasure and they want out.
If you want to prove me wrong, go back to Kabul after the troops leave and call the Taliban “honeyâ€. See where it gets you.

Re: Y'all come back now, y'hear?
You may be right, or not, and I don't know if there is enough data to reach a definitive conclusion. I'll give my own subjective opinion based on online interaction with BPDs and my own experiences, as well as on the opinions of professionals involved in the treatment of BPD. I disagree that the severity of BPD is reliably indicated by histrionics or aggression. Those things are attempts to avoid painful emotions, but they are not the only way that internal pain can manifest itself and I'd argue that someone suffering in relative silence, maybe aware that they are emotionally 'defective', is not in any less pain than someone acting out. Their BPD is no less severe than an outwardly aggressive case which is why I think it is not helpful or fair to necessarily equate aggression with severity. Such acting in cases are unlikely to be diagnosed, will probably be emotionally and socially crippled and limited in their career success and present to MH services (if at all) with depression or anxiety disorders. There is also the reluctance to make the diagnosis so as not to exacerbate the problem with an added stigma and to avoid medical insurance issues which probably distorts available data about the prevalence and manifestation of BPD.Dick Strawkins wrote: The condition is unusual in that while it is clear that the BPD suffers severely from the condition when they are having one of their turns, the partner often suffers too. BPD has a bad reputation but unfortunately in the majority of cases the reputation is deserved.
If the BPD doesn't recognize their condition and seek treatment (which is really another way of saying that the individual has mild BPD) then the best recourse for partners is to leave.

Re: Y'all come back now, y'hear?
Welch said (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... 99#p180199):
For every successful skilled, talented, hard working musician, there are 1000 unsuccessful equally skilled, talented, hard working musicians.
It is too pat to explain it as a result of skill, talent, hard work, and so on. Yes, of course, those things play a very large part, but in the end, for the most part, luck (and marketing, which is almost always mostly outside of the artist's control), or the toss of the dice, determines the result more than anything else.
Well, erm, yes and no. I mean, to some degree I agree with you, but one thing that is almost always left out of such discussions is the vast, and I really do mean vast, amount of luck involved.It's the usual: "I don't understand anything about that field, but I don't like it, so therefore, succeeding in it must be easy."
For every successful skilled, talented, hard working musician, there are 1000 unsuccessful equally skilled, talented, hard working musicians.
It is too pat to explain it as a result of skill, talent, hard work, and so on. Yes, of course, those things play a very large part, but in the end, for the most part, luck (and marketing, which is almost always mostly outside of the artist's control), or the toss of the dice, determines the result more than anything else.

Too bad that the ancient Roman torture device is soooo top heavy. I really don't even know what to say about this. Should I share it on Facebook?...haha.

No, it's quite readily 'explainable'. It's an example of what we godless types call 'physics'. (That and maybe a Mafia construction company.)The local mayor calls the collapse of the cross, which bore a 20-foot, 1,300-pound statue of Christ, an "unexplainable tragedy."
'Wrong' as in towards the huge collapsing statue? Oh ye of little Faith. Marco is in the arms of Jesus now (or smeared across his chest). While those who fled from the Lord remain here, unsaved! That's a Darwin Award right there."When they heard the crunching noises coming from the cross they fled in all directions," the mayor says. "Unfortunately Marco ran in the wrong direction."

I am not uncomfortable with the idea that Walter wants to go to Seattle to lay a smackdown on PeeZuss. Far from it.mordacious1 wrote:Is anyone else here uncomfortable with someone trying to collect expenses to kick someone's ass (even if in jest)? If one of the ban-able offenses is "anything illegal", then conspiracy to commit a felony should fall into that category.

In fact I think it would be hilarious if PeeZuss heard about it and demanded police protection.
Mind, I believe I would be obligated to remind Walter (if I thought he was serious) that it might not be a good idea.

I'd like to thank Jason Thibeault The loudmouth canuck for the 6 or so hits on my blog from his post. Good to know he has about 6 readers who get their information through his blog. Still a higher number than I'm comfortable or than I would have guessed with but it will do.

I haven't given Walter any money - nor I suspect has anyone else here. Is simply reading his posts enough to lay me open to charges of conspiracy? If so, I shall hop in the time machine and un-smirk at them.

Well she hasn't been claiming mental illness yet or has been talking about her meds or in bed yet, so I might give her Hensley of 2 years ago.AndrewV69 wrote:She has shown up on my twatter timeline so out of curiosity I looked at hers and saw this among other things:

She also pissed off a female feminist from Pakistan (friend of the pornstash that walks like a man if that was really a picture I saw of her hugging Vacula)

I had thought:
+ Radford filed in State Court
+ Stollznow had *petitioned* to move this to Federal Court.
This motion looks like a petition to a Federal Court.

To get any sort of play, you would have to have a microphone, be on stage and have more or less equal time. And any one in that position, is not likely to want to sully their reputation by getting into a stupid school yard slap fight with this idiot.
I don't often agree with Welch, but as the commenter up thread said already, when I do, I agree like a motherfucker.
I would be happy to ask him a couple of questions and I bet you would get a long pause followed by some stammering. PZ doesn't do well against questions he can't answer off the top of his head. In face to face communication he is spineless, and often resorts to name calling .He doesn't have the ability to improvise and his comedic talent is non existent IMO. You have to pretend the crowd is not even there because their response doesn't matter really, you can still score a win. It all depends on what you ask and how you ask it.

Yeah, I tried engaging with her on twatter and she went ballistic. But unlike Miri, who blocked me and cut off contact... Y'know, as you do when you claim someone is evil and bad... Jones kept messaging me repeatedly, but mostly just to insult me. She then brought up my gender for no reason (assumed gender lol) and I asked her why she did that and if she was a sexist. :dance:Sulman wrote:Jones is basically indistinguishable from Hensley of a couple of weeks ago.

That shut her up quick.

Yes, I am uncomfortable to see just about anybody with mental issues flailing about on the Internet trying to cause problems. But in this case, since he hasn't said anything worse than a cunt kick, I would suggest just putting him on ignore if it bothers you.

So.. the Y chromosome is the "God chromosome" ? I knew it :whistle:Clarence wrote:Ha!
http://www.sciencecodex.com/from_liabil ... val-132310
Apparently not only has the "Y" chromosome stablized among a wide variety of species - to the extent of only losing one gene over the past 25 million years - BUT the Y doesn't just determine male sex and testes formation after all. Apparently some of its genes are master control switches that regulate genetic expression throughout every cell in the male body. There are a different set of these genes in the X.
Yes, that means that male cells are not the same as the cells in the female body and this is likely to have literally tons of health effects, an d explain at least some of the differences in propensity for diseases. There might even be SOME affect on the brain.
