It's not even a non-apology.
To be clear, he did tweet the following, but the "target" isn't any sort of social justice warrior, but a like-minded twitter friend. IE, the tweet was a joke.
If ComfortablySmug is St Louis (is it?), then this was directed at her. This tweet followed two minutes after ComfortablySmug tweeted to him complaining about being harrassed.
Here's the ComfortablySmug tweet: https://twitter.com/ComfortablySmug/sta ... 1116188673

Go up from there to their 1st exchange in that conversation:
@Nero wrote:Living in a society where you can take a degree course in Gender Studies is the ultimate expression of wealth and privilege.
@ComfortablySmug wrote:@Nero No, complaining about people working hard to educate themselves and judging them for it is, you misogynistic know nothing.
@Nero follows @ComfortablySmug and has said it was a joke, as it seems to be from the exchange above.

FWIW, @Nero & @ComfortablySmug seem to have a similar political bent - @ComfortablySmug isn't progressive/SJW/etc.

Yiannopoulos on feminism, on a (conservative libertarian) podcast from a few days ago:
http://tomwoods.com/podcast/ep-576-femi ... f-liberty/

Describes himself there as a 2nd-wave feminist and comes across as one. He is definitely a provocateur on Twitter but in settings like this podcast he seems to know his stuff & have his thinking cap on (IMO).

A famous atheist has just tweeted an upskirt pic of a religious worshipper resting in such a way that you can see their genitals.

Dammit! Myers is going to feel completely justified now in his accusations of disgusting behavior of prominent atheists!

Watson on Dawkins / SGU

As I suspected Watson had to gnash teeth at Dawkin's on Patreon - nice and secure behind the paywall.

Interestingly it's clear she is more pissed off with SGU than RD - she explains she had hoped her friends would have been "cleverer" than that -ie they are stupid.

Oh and she has stopped writing for CFI - shock horror.

They r mocked by those syrians who stayed here.

I never know what people expect to gain by this kind of whinging.

Obviously a multimillionaire organisation will not back track on its hiring work because you are whining on the internet.

You may get sad apologies from your "friends" but I'd be amazed if those at CFI aren't absolutely delighted they're going to get to work with Dawkins.

Sitting back I feel like they've done this all wrong - all of them - if they wanted to get in on some of that RDFS/CFI $$ and speaking gigs.

They could have gone with - I'm so excited a WOMAN is in charge. Change is really happening for US FEMINISTS! Dawkins that nasty mean man has come round and will be working for a WOMAN! I hope to mend bridges with the organisation and work with them in the future! This is the first step on a path to reconciliation!

E.g. VICTORY ACCOMPLISHED. Or at least minor one.

That would lead into speaking dates potentially and more writing $$ and platforms for them to air their stupid views.

Thanks for this. Oh dear god...no wonder the A+ mods deleted the thread. :lol: :lol:
I'm sorry but if this is going to be a forum where I am not a person deserving of hugs I am going to have to leave.

Why are the other mods here sanctioning this abuse of me by two mods? Getting hugs is mod worthy of what? Are you going to ban me? Because I give and receive hugs?
I am done with this thread and very close to being done with this site. "Gently"? It's not gentle to warn people concerning pro-social behavior that is a deliberate reply to others giving everyone hugs. It's asshole. But if you want me out of this thread sure, I mean obviously receiving hugs from other members explicitly giving out hugs to everyone who commented in this thread is just so 'making it all about me' right? It couldn't be that I, you know, just gave and received hugs.
I'm going to go lie down now and I am now in the middle of an anxiety attack.

Thanks for the support assholes.

Yep. Everything is racism, so that when you run into the real thing, it has no meaning. It's like a boss who yells all the time. After a while, there's no one taking him seriously, because it's no longer a problem, it's just Tuesday.

I don't feel sorry, but his torment as the internet's longest running case of blueballs does make me wince. A good portion of his bodyweight must be calcified spunk by now. If that nasty woman would just give him a mercy tug, he'd at long last be at peace with the world.

He gets his jollies trying to destroy people.
Canuck strikes me as the kid who goes along with whatever the popular kids are doing, even though he has a pretty good idea that it's wrong. Because being alone and rejected by the group would be terrible, and he's kind of shit on a lot of people in his attempts to be part of the "kool kids klique". He's a follower, always has been. The one who gives me the willies has always been Zvan. PZ yells and screams, but ultimately, he's too much of a coward to *do* anything.

Zvan could strip the skin off a live puppy and her pulse rate wouldn't even blip.

You are right, but strategic nuance is a bridge too far for dogmatic orthodoxy. I imagine a much better strategy for A+ would have been to relax their standards a skoosh and become a shining beacon on the hill for socially aware atheists everywhere. They just don't have it in them.

Nah. But I have flash disabled, so a significant chunk of the video postings are only blank squares for me. I figured that's what you were pointing at.

I showed it to my wife, and she made me tell her what it was all about. Her comment was "this is why we need better serial killers"

Completely OT.

I'm filling the gaps in my science fiction reading and shamefully I've never read any Jules Verne.

I've heard many of the early translations were bowdlerised so I was wondering if anybody could point me towards the best English translations of his major works?

Thanks.

I'm currently reading A Little Life which is like super popular right now and I want to note this down here, something I've noticed in popular fiction in the past 5 or so years, is that fuck it loves raped boys. It fucking loves them. I remember The Kite Flyer and 50 Shades of Grey in particular.

Classic crybully tactics, right there.

'Milo called for someone to be assassinated, oh yes he did!'

*lie exposed*

'I-I just got stressed...b-because they brough up T-Tim Hunt again...l-like the shitlords they are..waaah...why cun you j-just leave me 'lone?..waaah...sob'
When people are stressed they stumble over their words, they don't invent shit out of thin air. I hope he sues the lying cunt.
Also the transcript shows Milo hadn't even made any 'stressful' accusations regarding Tim Hunt by that point in the show

So she's lying in her excuse, while reasserting up her lies about Hunt, which the show's official media is rebroadcasting

Connie St. Louis is not...the most Einsteiny person around. She's very, very special, which is why we should be proud that she has overcome the odds to direct university journalism students. Pointing your finger at evidence that she isn't very traditionally intelligent and prefers to work off of the basis of feminist truth instead of patriarchal truth is sexist.

I don't think trying to attack St. Louis on the Tim Hunt thing works at all. All she has to do is point out that he admitted to making those statements. That battle has been fought and lost.

No to any statement she makes my reply would be why should we listen to her? She lied on her resume. That has also been admitted. Let people know that and they will be less likely to believe her.

Isn't this the trope that the abused become the abusers?

I don't know if it's that Steffie enjoys the witch hunting due to some personality flaw, or if it is just the efficiency of the fanatic. Either way there's a certain glee in how she goes about her duty.

Really?

Only if you are willing to try Mel Brooks for war crimes because he has played Hitler on occasion.

Uh-oh. Escape pods launched?

8 FtB blogs are being republished on another site.

It's not a scraper, it's theirs. Jason posted a test post on Dec 10 that doesn't appear on his FtB site.

http://the-orbit.net/lousycanuck/2015/1 ... test-post/

Full archives have been uploaded for some, but recent postings are neglected. Content ends in November-December for most. Greta is the most current with an early January post. Alex has no posts at all.

I wonder if Peez knows about this. I hope there's a camera around if/when 8 of his 2nd-string blog buddies are suddenly raptured out of FtB :lol:

I wonder if Watson could make the same "I have 10000 skepchick readers" claim that she did in the McGraw boondoggle of 2011?

I can't test if this actually works because I don't have Flash installed. You'll have to check it yourself:

It has the comments (cool) - but alas, not the video.

Thanks though. :)

Statutory rape is funny if the victim is male. If the victim is a woman, that is proof of rape culture.

I'd noticed that none have come to PZ's defence on the Hitchen's thing. When it was Nugent there were a tonne of posts from these guys. I think he is feeling pretty isolated at the moment

Still, perhaps one day, Watson will finally relent and let the poor old turd cop a feel of that porridge ass. And I hope he finds that it was all worth it.
The bastard basically called us rapists. I don't have a single ounce of fuck to give if he's being piled-on.

Flashback.

A moment that will live in infamy. The first bomb drops on organised skepticism, propelled by podium privilege.

McGraw's comments posted under a "cunty" youtube barb at the CFI Student Leadership.

Raking the fat fuck over the coals:
PZ's attempts to recton his own history so that he's always been at war with Eastasia fall at the first hurdle due to his spectacular incompetence.
