Good god! Peez has just put a stop to the Ophie thread. His explanatory post...well, see for yourself -
You know, I’ve been on the receiving end of this kind of campaign before. You’re all sounding like Michael Nugent, the Mouth of the Slymepit: according to him, I’m a homicidal monster who connived to railroad an innocent young woman who threatened to accuse me of rape, which apparently, according to a mob on twitter, I’m guilty of. If all you do is look over any voluble person’s record on the internet, you can find words and phrases you can twist or take out of context to support any nefarious claim you want. You just have to ignore 99% of what they say!
But...but what he's done to Nugent & The Pit there is precisely what he's complaining about when it comes to himself and Oafie. He's basically just twisted and disorted something to forge an example of how twisting and distorting stuff in this vein as bad. WTF??? The sheer lack of self-awareness is actually beginning to devour itself. Unreal!

Myers, Ophie, all the rest - give it up folks. Honestly, you'd all be better served sitting around in a circle making dribbly lip noises - brrrr! Brrrrr! - at each other.

I'm praying for you to succeed.

If you end up on a date with Richard Carrier, I'll have to revisit my heretical beliefs.
IF he refuses based on the fact you are not a Woman tell him you're trans and watch his head explode. If he refuses to accept your a Woman it's TERF time.

A Georgia man who attended a rally to show support for the Confederate flag is apparently less discriminatory about what he puts on his feet.

The man, who was carrying the Confederate flag and had a KKK tattoo on his arm, was wearing athletic shoes from FUBU, which stands for For Us By Us. The brand was created more than 20 years ago by black entrepreneurs Daymond John and his three friends J. Alexander Martin, Keith Perrin and Carlton Brown in Queens, N.Y., to encourage black enterprise in the clothing industry and the notion that black Americans support black-owned businesses.

That dude just had a bad Saturday. They held a "we are totally no racist and shit just love the flag" rally at Stone Mountain state park (which is just a being Confederate monument). So Grand Dragon FUBU showed up and got boo'ed away by the rest of the white people

Camila Batmanghelidjh: The prototype SJW in Britain.
Any discussion would come down to 'But what about the harm that will come to the kids?' ANY argument, including this one about her horrific money management. Backed by prime ministers to maintain their 'urban' cool against the advice of almost everyone who worked for them. Funnelled huge amounts of government and charity money despite being massively overstaffed and understretched. Culturally appropriated african tribal wear and Carmen Miranda's colour scheme.
The whole edifice is crumbling and it's hilarious watching the SJW try to rewrite history.

I suspect the trans SJW advocates are enjoying it. They enjoy getting "offended" and going off on a hunt after someone to take down. And they have nothing personal to lose by targeting people. They just lose the credibility of the trans-rights movement. But those bastards are too damn selfish to worry about that. They are getting their kicks.

Well, the whole freethought blogs exercise has been a great cautionary tale of how those who pride themselves on their superior thinking are at a high risk of cognitive bias, dissonance and group psychology.

Closed the thread? Hows that Freeze Peach coming on? Don't like it much do you minions? And yes, Myer's is getting desperate and I can't say I have ever seen an opinion he has made that is even loosely based in reality. If the baboons know that they won't fall for anything he says.

A lot of people on the blockbot include actual TERF's as well as anyone accused of it for any reason. So I suspect that is playing a part too.

Nugent's point, his *entire fucking explicitly stated point*, was that people *could* accuse Myers of bullying a student into withdrawing her claim he raped her if (fucking IF!) they treated his words as uncharitably as he does others.

Christ my mind just melted. There's no way he is this stupid. He knows exactly what he's doing and doesn't care how immoral it is. What an absolutely vulgar little man

This. This. Truth. I've never seen a bigger bunch of pains in the asses who were better at punching above their weight. They pretzel every organization they invade and ultimately destroy its effectiveness for anything but attending to whatever's got them butthurt at the moment. For such a miniscule part of the population, they really know how to wreck shit. The President of the United States was trolled last month by a trans, fer chrissakes (one that was and is in the country illegally, but no one so far has bothered to deport for being an asshole).

I wasn't aware that the Nuge accused PZ of homicidal tendencies. When was this?

Oh, maybe the repetition of PZ's "gonna stab a Christian" quote? There's a big difference between pointing out that someone said something violent and accusing them of being homicidal.

Is this a parody slymepit post?

She had silly shoes on.

But she was also getting an award.

I kind of think the women there were more focused on the award.

Unless women are stupid, bubble-headed, fashion-obsessed dunces.
Eh? I quite often exaggerate for dramatic impact but I confess I was slightly taken aback at your response. Should I assume that your response is in a similar vein as mine though?

Is PZ Myers really as stupid as that thread on Pharyngula would suggest - i.e., his thinking that it could help Ophelia Benson - or could he have had second thoughts about giving up Jason Thibeault in order to keep her? Is it possible that he knew that the thread would back-fire and that this is what he wanted? ...That he stopped it only once enough new damage had been done, but not after so long that his sneaky plan would become obvious? Is he possibly that slick?

Nah.

He is simply quite stupid when it comes to people, isn't he?

I like how Nugent has become the Mouth of the Slymepit, when all he wanted is an apology for the various mischaracterizations PZ had slung his way. Oh, and that he didn't autoban anyone who had posted here from his own blog. That's not completely misrepresenting the situation at all, now is it?

Right now, it's not looking like even one of those fuckers will show even the slightest thread of decency and admit that the Pit might have had a point about how FTB et al handle their affairs and are rankly hypocritical about their ideolog. Even if people don't like the way things are done here, you'd think there'd be some self-awareness and even a sense of a shame. Experience, however, has taught me otherwise.

Its why he's exposed and flailing badly.

It's never occurred to him to actually have an opinion on the issue of whether discussions about the womanhood of trans women are, by their nature hurtful, damaging and needing to be banned because they are akin to murder, or, on the other hand, are a nuanced topic admitting a range of opinions amongst the civilised, and therefore are productive to have even if some find them uncomfortable.
Even if he personally felt that allowing public expressions transphobia or trans-questioning or trans-debate promoted, say, violence against trans people, and that we should curtail that free speech for the safety of trans people, he could just fucking say that and defend that opinion. And tell Ophie to apologize and get back in the Good Ally line.

Or if he doesn't feel that way, he could say we should allow people to question Trans individuals... Trans-ness, and stand with Ophie. And he would then be forever a TERF like he has been since the day he was born and became a feminist in his daddy's balls .3 seconds before arriving at his momma's womb.

Nobody wins in the Great Social Justice Trans Debate.

I know! Imagine if one of his bloggers got it in his head to use his position to try to hit on vulnerable (and lets face it anyone who reads FtB seriously is vulnerable to simple mind tricks) chicks (or dudes with vaginas). Then said he wouldn't mind getting spooge on him and that conferences (with their gamut of policies) were the perfect place to get poly on your ass.
Imagine that! he'd shut that misogynist shitlord who thinks women in the atheist community are his 'fuck-toys', down so fast the door wouldn't hit his ars.................OOOoooooooh!

I try to be sympathetic because public perception and treatment of trans people seems rather poor even compared to teh gays. But yes, the online SJW trans shit-stirrers are the worst of the lot, no question. They go around stirring up strife and leaving shitty little comments "calling out" everyone else as bigoted unless that person agrees with the trans on 100% of everything, ever.

Yes, I was sorry to see Danielle Muscato get sacked from American Atheists because I wanted to know of at least one online transgender personality who wasn't a high maintenance nutbag. The twinge of wariness I feel when encountering an online trans isn't fair or healthy.

There's a face I never want to see when I need emotional support.

I'd be out the window in a heartbeat.

OMG, just checking out @MAMelby on Twitter. Why are we even having this conversation? Ophelia is not a trans ally, and that’s an understatement!

Lol, Ophelia is a confirmed TERF by social justice standards.

I hadn't seen that, but it looks as though you're right. I hope it wasn't too acrimonious on either side.

AndrewV69 wrote:This caught my eye: Healthy Woman Ends Life At Assisted Suicide Facility... To Avoid Getting Old

Something to think about perhaps. I know what she is talking about because I live in an area where there are a lot ... I mean a lot of old people around. There are a couple of hospices in the area and I have spent a lot of time visiting one of them for the last nine months. The man I visit as much as five times per week is a tough old bird and I am amazed that he is still around.

But most of the people there are in rough shape. Which is not surprising because this is an end of life place. They are hardly there at all as most of them have lost their marbles due to dementia/senility/alzheimers and so on.

A lot of the people there also never get visited. Some, like my tough old man get visited very frequently, but for the rest of them ... despite the efforts of the staff they have a pitiful existence. More than a few of them are just plain ornery. Difficult, prickly, demanding and obnoxious. Those are the ones who never get visited. Did they get that way because no one visits or does no one visit because of the way they are?

So I think I know where this healthy 75 year old is coming from. I think I get it.
Indeed. Likewise. You might be interested in this post from Eric MacDonald at Choice In Dying. And my tweet to Justin Trudeau on the point:

Richard Carrier wishes he was a woman so he could write sex stuff without trigger warnings. Let's check in on the lady poly:

http://www.elyseanders.com/blog/2015/7/21/slut
I’ve been at it for more than a couple of decades.

I did it before I was married.

I’ve done it with strangers.

I’ve done it with friends.

I’ve done it with men.

I’ve done it with women.

I’ve done weird stuff.

I’ve done incredibly disgusting things.

I’ve done things I’m not incredibly proud of… but I’m not ashamed.

I don’t particularly care if you think this is an indictment on my character.

If you think this is something bad or wrong or mockable, that tells me more about how sad and awful your sex life must be that you think women who have sex are inherently funny or worthless.

I’m also kinda picky.

You better be really good at sex if you’re going to do sex stuff with me because if I’m going to do it, I want it to be really good and really hot. If you’re bringing some mediocre D, you can go home. I don’t need it.
She's picky, but I'm pretty sure she would let somebody pee in her butt at The Meadow.

Now, if you don’t mind, I need to go call my doctor to get my IUD replaced because it’s about to expire and I don’t feel like having an abortion because those interfere with sex.
Her kid is a son, right? He's going to have a fun time in middle school and high school.

Great, now she has another 'death threat' from the slime pit.

You need to cut it out with Ophelia, you've got her in a brutal stranglehold already. It's just pouring assault in her wound.

Earlier this month, Bradenton Police detective Kevin Bunch discovered 17 photos of a dog performing oral sex on 18-year-old Ashley L. Miller, according to an arrest report obtained by the Smoking Gun. The photos were allegedly found on Miller's cellphone in a folder titled "2-face fun."

In a subsequent interview, Miller told Bunch her dog's name is 2-Face and that the dog performed oral sex on her "30 to 40 times," according to the report.

Miller also allegedly told the detective she never forced the dog to give her oral sex and that he did it "on his own."

The dog showed no signs of injury and was taken to a vet as a precaution, the Bradenton Herald reports.

Police allegedly learned of the existence of the explicit photos during a sexual battery investigation in May, a news release obtained by the Herald said.

Miller was arrested on Friday and charged with two misdemeanor counts of sexual activities involving animals.

The Bradenton Police Department did not immediately return calls from The Huffington Post.
