Hmm. Richard Dawkins has time on his hands recovering after a stroke AND Richard Dworkins comes back to the pit. Coincidence?

Yea, both of them and Coyne have been going at it hammers-and-tongs (aka screwdrivers) forever on the issue - practically a Hatfields & McCoys level of feud. Which has, no doubt, added some bad blood to the mix. But you might be interested in these links to some of the "high" points, this a fairly recent post by Coyne, this a search on Pigliucci's old site, and this a fairly pointed shot at Dawkins by Pigliucci, although I think there's some justification for it.

Which is part of the problem - I think Pigliucci periodically makes some reasonable arguments, although I think he too may bend over backwards overmuch in defending religion, and Coyne and Dawkins both get their knickers in a twist, and react not particularly well.

I wouldn't call shame exactly a success. That is just a lower base emotion. I was kind of hoping to engage her, have her take a look at her religion and see that just because some people are doing shitty things on one side by no means necessitates ganging up based on skin color.
Yea, I tend to agree. Better to try engaging with her and maybe change her mind somewhat - much better than trying to run her off with baseless accusations which is, after all, the supposed bailiwick of those hated Hatfields FTBers "others". And there's always the off chance that "we" might learn something or see some justiciation in some of her arguments. ;-)

That is not a sentiment that I could align with in the very smallest degree.
Pigliucci has been SJW-ish since for ever.

(Interesting how many SJWs reject the modern evolutionary synthesis. Can't be coincidence.)

Rayshul (l think) was asking when the SJW's became a thing. I suspect they've been around in one form or another as long as there has been people. There is a history of words like "shrew", "harridan", "harpy" to describe them. In essense I think we are dealing with a type of personality (or disorder). Miserable, vindictive shit-stirrers are nothing new.

I can recall several personal experiences earlier that the 80's but I specifically recall the angry frumps raging about Steve Albini's band "Rapeman" in the late eighties and getting hysterical in their protests to have them banned from playing universities in the U.K. back in 87/88. Over 20 years before the next generation had a similar reaction to Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. I recall this specifically because my girlfriend of the time used to comment on the protesters being "demented bitches".

I don't think it is anything new, just instant global communication has been a perfect medium for their blithering idiotic hatred.

Also, with regards to the Antipodean "mansplaining" thing. I caught that on a news site, which reminded me to check in with you people.

Surely we can come up with a usable definition for "Femsplaining" that we make into a popular meme.

Something like "the endless hatred, whining, bigotry, lies, villification and slurs and ideological cant used by victim feminists in lieu of actual evidence." but better.

Greetings all,

Predominantly a lurker but have decided to venture tentatively out from the shadows. I'd imagine the recent influx of new posters means that complimentary baskets of lynx have run dry, so you may dispense with that aspect of the traditional welcome. However, as somewhat of a verbal masochist, I'll happily accept any "fuck offs" you may wish to send my way.

Given that Mick Nugent is once again in the crosshairs, I was wondering if someone could give me some details on a previous situation involving the red shirted one. I can't exactly remember where ( might well have been here ), but a while ago I thought I saw a comment alluding to an attempted detente brokered by Mr.Nugent between either the Slymepit and FTB or elements of the schism more broadly. Possibly back in 2013. Firstly, did this, or something akin, take place at all ? Secondly, assuming that there was an attempted accord, did it ever gain much traction ? I'm quite up to date with what's transpired since late 2014, and many of the events previous, but I suppose there are gaps in my knowledge.

Information would be much appreciated and, on second thoughts, I would in fact like that basket of lynx, or whatever else you're handing out in lieu.

Arigatou

So been a couple of pages.

Hangout planned for Saturday 20th Feb. Time not set in stone. If you want to be a part PM me. I really need an idea of what time people want to do this. Also whether you would prefer Skype or a Hangouts.

TO those who have already gotten in touch I am keeping up with it. I will give this Wednesday and then will lock down plans.

Shame is perfectly appropriate in this case. She ought to be ashamed of the crap she's peddling, and the incalculable harm she is causing by dumping racist crap in the trusting ears of her 7 children. I have an unfortunate amount of experience in dealing with racists IRL, and mockery and shaming are about the only things that work. Trying to reason with them is an exercise in Steersmanship. You can make all the perfectly factual points you like, but they simply want to be taken seriously. It will have as much effect as Kirbmarc, Old_Ones etc had on Steersman. They and others handed him his own ass in their arguments, and he budged not one iota.

And Clarence, I'd be more inclined to agree that Steersman wasn't really racist, but more than once he's gone for "uppity nigger" instead of contenting himself with the general term IIRC. There is a point when a bit of inference is inevitable.

rayshul wrote:I've typoed worse things. :/

You know the Sargon thing has got me thinking about the origins of the SJW. I've been online since 1991/1992 and part of forums and chats. I don't remember anything SJW-ish until the introduction of trigger warnings in fanfiction (which are the online equivalent of codes of conduct). That MUST have happened around 2002 or so, which would date it shortly after 9/11.

I note that popular accounts of the phrase don't register until 2008 but it was in widespread usage in fanfiction for a long time before that. It is much, much older than people seem to think it is. I don't know how to sort unstructured data but you should find it first in fanfiction.net or livejournal.com - the phrase or idea of trigger warnings.

I swear this was the beginning, I don't think it existed before this.
The neo-trigger warning were (explicit) content warnings, and like many things that later became fucking stupid, were used rather sensibly. For example, I had an introduction to ethics class that spent a week on porn. The professor was really cool, saying that she understood that people had a wide variety of reactions to porn, and since we were only going to be spending a couple-three classes on it, if it was something they were really uncomfortable with, to just let her know they wouldn't be in class for the first two days, and if there was a third, she'd let them know, no harm no foul.

It was completely non-salacious, and a really interesting discussion, especially where some of us disabused her of the notion that BDSM porn was "mainstream". (She was remarkably open to different opinions, provided you had something to back them up with.)

No one was called out or embarrassed or singled out, everyone was rather adult about it, and it all went well. That was of course around 1988-89, wouldn't have worked now, there would have been screaming. All the screaming. But it started out well, it just got taken advantage of and turned to shit by people who could benefit from it.

Given that Mick Nugent is once again in the crosshairs, I was wondering if someone could give me some details on a previous situation involving the red shirted one. I can't exactly remember where ( might well have been here ), but a while ago I thought I saw a comment alluding to an attempted detente brokered by Mr.Nugent between either the Slymepit and FTB or elements of the schism more broadly. Possibly back in 2013. Firstly, did this, or something akin, take place at all ? Secondly, assuming that there was an attempted accord, did it ever gain much traction ? I'm quite up to date with what's transpired since late 2014, and many of the events previous, but I suppose there are gaps in my knowledge.

Information would be much appreciated and, on second thoughts, I would in fact like that basket of lynx, or whatever else you're handing out in lieu.

Arigatou

( btw, who do I complain to about the edit button ? )
Greetings and fuck off.

The Nugent thing kicked off in late March 2013 after he attacked the Pit. The Pit pushed back and instead of attacking he attempted to broker commonalities between FtB and the Pit.

Needless to say there arn't any and in my bias opinion they scuttled it.
With SZvan at the helm.

Guys, I have submitted my application for a blog at FTB too. If successful, I will blog about science matters with some occasional pieces on the many fuckwitted idjits that besmirch feminism and social justice activism. I haven’t been this excited in ages.

Good luck to all you other fine applicants as well.
If this happens I may have to give up atheism, because Nerd getting a blog on FtB would prove God's existence.

Especially if Nerd allows us "fuckwitted idjits" to comment.

Yeah, we found out Richard Carrier likes to jizz his load onto women's faces, was begging for women to join him for this activity, and publicised this fetish on Ophelia Benson's site....with funny and disastrous results.

Oh, and we have humiliated and exposed the fucking FTBullies numerous times over - as per fucking usual.
"My Girlfriend Who Lives In Canada" - Richard Carrier Version. (Original: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-gi ... =255955268 - The voice even SOUNDS like Carrier)
Ohhhh...
I wish you could meet my girlfriend, my girlfriend who lives in Canada.
She couldn't be sweeter
She sucks on my peter,
My girlfriend who lives in Canada!

Her name is Alberta
She live in Vancouver
Takes a cock like my mother
And sucks like a Hoover.

I e-mail her dick picks every day
Send her jizz crusted underwear of course it's okay.
It's a pity she lives so far away, in Canada!

Last week she was here, but she had Dickie flu.
Too bad
'Cause she wanted your jizz on her too
It's so sad
There wasn't a thing that she could do
But stay tied to the bed as she gave me more head!
Oh!

I wish you could meet my girlfriend,
But you can't because she is in Canada.
I met her on the docks, she chokes on my cock,
Soon I'll be jizzing all over Alberta!
Like she got fucked by Vancouver

She's my girlfriend!
My jizz-covered girlfriend!
Yes I have a girlfriend, who lives in Canada!!


I can't wait to choke her with my cock again!

The podcast is totally different for this. This is only for people here and will not be public.

All guest of my podcast will be given a digital couple of my favorite bootleg Terry Funk songs.

We on the social justice side of the Deep Rifts™ will change the face of atheism. We will make a secular community where women, people of color, queer folk, trans folk, disabled folk, and other underrepresented folk find safe harbor. We will defeat the harassers, the old-school sexists, the gentlemen racists, the trolls, the harassers, the assholes, the greedy, and the other assorted jackasses that make movement atheism such a terrible place right now. We will resolve this shit, and we will make a better world.

And we will remember who stood with us, who failed us, and who opposed us.

Surely we can come up with a usable definition for "Femsplaining" that we make into a popular meme.

Something like "the endless hatred, whining, bigotry, lies, villification and slurs and ideological cant used by victim feminists in lieu of actual evidence." but better.
I get an image of Charlotte Proudman when I read that definition. It is perfect. What the fuck happened to her anyway? Probably got dishes to wash, or something. :dance:

Well there are some similarities. If you are sure you are getting picked on as a group for what you are then do you just give in or do you resist? If you resist then should you just be dismissed as playing "identity politics" by Slyme pitters?

If you think that would be fair then why even get offended as a White heterosexual male when other groups try to blame you for all the ills of the world? If you know you ARE in the group that is being accused then you cannot get together with others and argue against it since that means accepting an identity. After all, if you do this then you are playing the same "identity politics" game as the SJW? So what SHOULD you do as a White heterosexual male who is told you should not get a job if a Black Trans Woman also wants it? What should you feel like if accused of slavery because some White people who were not even your ancestors may have done this? Or if accused of being a rapist just because men are allegedly rapists as a group? Can you only complain about it as an individual and say "I know you think I am a White heterosexual man but I don't identify as that!!! I am just Joe Bloggs and you are just Obongo Jeffries (or whatever) ". I mean surely if you know they are targeting YOU then you have accepted the identity - ie accepted you are a heterosexual White Man?

To resist the SJW you have to know when you are a member of a group they are attacking. That is your identity then. :rimshot:

I identify as Batman. Batman says "Show us your tits".

Can I identify as a woman or is that identity politics? When women campaigned for the vote was that unacceptable "identity politics" and would it be so if Saudi women campaingned against getting executed for showing their tits? What's wrong with identifying yourself as oppressed? It is necessary to do so if you are going to change things.
None of that is tits.

You are not, I repeat NOT dealing with all white and straight people here. I very much doubt your insane screeds will get the slightest bit of traction here. You're really not very clever, and the Creativity Movement website is positively bonkers. Seriously, do really fuck off. Despite what you've heard, the only racists on this board are yourself and Steersman. And if you wanted to take Steers with you on your way out, that would be lovely.
Yes I realise this board is full of your sort. What is hilarious is that you would claim to favour freedom of speech when you clearly can't take it any more than the forums used by the SJWs. Quite what you even opposed the SJWs for I don't know - because you refuse to look at who they regard as "the enemy" in this word lest you should have to put into words that they are talking about White Heterosexual Men. No one has been able to explain what other group than this the SJWs you supposedly dislike so strongly campaign against most vociferously.
I do feel uncomfortable violating your safe space with this fact though so I may as well leave it at that. I will leave you to your nonsense.

None of that is your tits. Why do you hate jesus? Jesus talked to me, he said for you to show us your tits.




and shave your back more often.

Even The Grauniad recognised she was a lunatic when she denounced Jeremy Corbyn as a 'dangerous libertarian' and called for an end to 'gender segregation' in sports which would have fucked the careers of almost all sportswomen.
