Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Laden's tough guy act, just maybe, works amongst the latte social justice clique he lectures to. I'd love to roll into him in person too, what with all his threats, and attempts to fuck people's lives up. Just to take a look into his eyes, just once.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I have a t-shirt I bought in the '80s, well before the lunacy that has transpired since, that says "I am not American" in arabic. Wore it to death, still have it somewhere.Rystefn wrote:I'm not going to lie to you, Marge... I want one of those shirts now.Mykeru wrote:I had this idea in Shanghai to sell t-shirts to Americans that read, in Chinese Traditional characters "American devil doesn't read Chinese". I could sell them around The Bund.
Or tattoos, wouldn't that have been great?
Also, I always kind of wanted a kanji tattoo that said "Stupid Gaijin." Sadly, I don't read kanji, and wouldn't trust someone to actually give me what I asked for.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Greg Laden has had me blocked on Twitter for ages now - even though I've never tweeted him. It's funny because a few weeks ago he left a perfectly polite and reasonable comment on my blog. Why would you try to blot someone out of existence on one forum and actively engage with them on another?!

They were practically a two man team in the days before FTB, when Greg got up to all sorts of crap on his Scienceblogs blog with Svan there in every comment section backing him up and excusing every shitty act ("get off the rag and kiss my ass", "Salty Current is the biggest bitch in the world" etc)acathode wrote:Link?ReneeHendricks wrote:Watching Greg Laden try to dox Mykeru.

Why do I suddenly think of threats of violence sent by email, the doc-dropping of a woman's private details on his forum, the attempt to get somebody fired from her work, etc. Greg Laden has a history of attempting to harass and bully not just women, but men too.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I posted earlier that I've recently started using a Twitter account with the username "fascination80" (BTW, follow me on Twitter, I need more followers!). I had registered this account about a year ago but I never really used it. Now I've started using because it isn't associated with my real name. Anyway, a little while ago I jumped into the conversation between Mykeru and Greg Laden. I tweeted a sarcastic reply to one of Laden's tweets. Within a short period of time afterwards, my Twitter account was suspended due to a complaint that I had misused the reply function. Apparently, I was replying to someone who didn't like my reply. Now, I have been using this particular account for only a few days. I have replied to only three people. Those are Mykeru, David Hume (I was agreeing with him about Watson) and Greg Laden. Who do you think lodged the complaint, as it was only one complaint? Rebecca Watson complains that people try to silence her. What is Laden trying to do to me? I got my account unsuspended and I am going to appeal the complaint.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Just as rubbing a great deal wax into wood gives the material a shine, so I do reckon that the clear speculum of Laden's exposed pate is probably down to the copious and protracted application of Steffy's pussy juice.acathode wrote:Link?ReneeHendricks wrote:Watching Greg Laden try to dox Mykeru.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Fixed that for you.Dick Strawkins wrote:I wouldn't go to a conference where Rebecca Watson was an invited key speaker either, and not because I hate her.
It's because I've seen enough of her various talks online to know she is a total amateur hack and having her as an invited speaker is evidence that any such conference organizers are flippin' clueless.
Look, there's clearly some sort of market for her sort of pseudo-skeptical fuckwittery, just look at all the idiots that lap up her offerings on her own site or support her nonsense on FTB. I just don't think it should be confused with genuine scientific skepticism (or as she and her friends put it - 'white supremicistwhite cock of authority scientism !') Let her have her skepchickcon meetings where she can sit on a panel with Greg Laden and Stef Svan and pontificate on damaged male brains. Just don't invite her to speak at conferences where people want to hear real experts talk about subjects that require genuine study.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
They did that to me too. My Twitter was laying fallow and as soon as I started using it and got into the #ftbullies hashtag, bang, the same complaint.fascination wrote:Who do you think lodged the complaint, as it was only one complaint? Rebecca Watson complains that people try to silence her. What is Laden trying to do to me? I got my account unsuspended and I am going to appeal the complaint.
I immediately filed an appeal.
As far as the conversation with Greg Laden, this was really a short version of the Lord Spatula incident still celebrated in song and story. I usually don't offer to meet someone face to face, but I would with laden as I did with Spatula.
As with Spatula, Laden did the fundie shuffle.
I would link to the archive of the Spatula incident, but the archive server is down. However, you can read what David Neiwert of Orcinus thought about it all. It's also insight into the eliminationist thinking that also defines the FTB autoritarian mindset as it does right wing authoritarians.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not so I'll go ahead and reply. I don't mean to sound "whiney", but I am genuinely pissed off. I guess I am not as used to dealing with these FTB people as you guys are so I wasn't expecting to get my account suspended for one mild tweet. The fact that Laden white knights Rebecca while she complains about "people trying to silence her" and yet, here he is trying to silence a woman who disagrees with him is hypocritical as hell. BTW, do I really type too much in my posts? I can try to be more succinct. I was recently diagnosed as an epileptic and the medication I have to take has many side effects. Some of the side effects are cognitive and deal specifically with language. Until I adjust to the medication over the next month to two months I can have a tendency to ramble, forget words, use poor grammar, etc. Apologies in advance.Lsuoma wrote: Whine a lot, don't you?

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
i merely filled out their form for reactivation, that's it. explained that in all likelihood the original complaint came from political fanatics intent on silencing criticism.
you had better get used to this kind of tactic by the fftb crowd, they consider anyone who disagrees with them to be evil incarnate, and therefore fair game. a little bad for the greater good and all that bullshit.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I will just leave this here.
1. I didn't arrange the "Memphis Compromise" meeting between myself and Spatula for a MMA fight. Others did. Donations were put in escrow by a third party and returned when he backed down.
2. I guess you could say I was prepared to carry it out, but then, I know he would fold as I knew the sun would rise.
3. I don't like bullies, free thought or otherwise.
A couple points:Now, I have to admit to being amused by Rev. Mykeru's recent takedown of a right-wing intimidation artist who calls himself "Lord Spatula," who has a habit of spewing all kinds of vile eliminationist rhetoric in the direction of a number of liberals who post on the Internet, including various threats of physical harm. Mykeru called him on his bluff, arranged a halfway meeting place, and told Lord Spatula to show up for an ass-kicking. Spatula, of course, backed down.
I can't say I endorse Mykeru's tactics, as satisfying as they might be, since they come down to promising actual violence, and being prepared to carry it out. But it's well worth remembering what his little exercise clearly revealed: Bigmouthed bullies are all, at their core, pathetic cowards. When they are confronted, they run away. They may lob a few shots in retreat, but they always run away. Unless, of course, we cede the field to them.
And eliminationism, in all its myriad forms, is in the end nothing but pure bullying. The sooner we begin confronting it, the more certain we are to halt its spread.

2. I guess you could say I was prepared to carry it out, but then, I know he would fold as I knew the sun would rise.
3. I don't like bullies, free thought or otherwise.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Well, it was his choice to blog about the issue and I've already done more research for that post than he's done himself. As for scepticism, it strikes me that he opened his mind really wide and FTB/Skepchick fell in and filled it up.welch wrote:real horrorshow wrote:Meanwhile, over at Josh's Blog I'm not sure how much more effort is worthwhile.
Josh seems willing to cut some people an awful lot of slack. Some people and not others:
he seems to be trying to be fair, and since he wasn't directly part of any of this, taking everyone's personal stories with a grain of salt.
Agree or not, I'll give him some cred for trying to apply skeptical methods to this.
I'm not going to spend my life enlightening one hipster blogger at a time. Not without getting paid for it.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Thank you for replying. Your advice is very good...I do need to get used to it. I shouldn't have been surprised; I knew that they did this sort of crap. I'm still filing a complaint in the hopes that if enough people file complaints against them, they won't be able to so casually get other's accounts suspended because they will become known as abusers of the complaint system. Oh well, one can hope anyway.Za-zen wrote:i merely filled out their form for reactivation, that's it. explained that in all likelihood the original complaint came from political fanatics intent on silencing criticism.
you had better get used to this kind of tactic by the fftb crowd, they consider anyone who disagrees with them to be evil incarnate, and therefore fair game. a little bad for the greater good and all that bullshit.

You are somewhat prolix. But that's the way it is. You won't be censored and you won't be edited here: in the nearly 30K posts there have been 4 or 5 edits, at the posters' request ONLY, apart from some spammy shit. Even morons like Mabus get shuttled sideways, not censored.fascination wrote:I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not so I'll go ahead and reply. I don't mean to sound "whiney", but I am genuinely pissed off. I guess I am not as used to dealing with these FTB people as you guys are so I wasn't expecting to get my account suspended for one mild tweet. The fact that Laden white knights Rebecca while she complains about "people trying to silence her" and yet, here he is trying to silence a woman who disagrees with him is hypocritical as hell. BTW, do I really type too much in my posts? I can try to be more succinct. I was recently diagnosed as an epileptic and the medication I have to take has many side effects. Some of the side effects are cognitive and deal specifically with language. Until I adjust to the medication over the next month to two months I can have a tendency to ramble, forget words, use poor grammar, etc. Apologies in advance.Lsuoma wrote: Whine a lot, don't you? Fucking grow up and stop sounding like colon, FFS...
But I, as a poster here, have the right to complain about what I want to, and that post sounded to me like a whine. You can ignore me, you can insult me, you can do what you want. Just don't expect me to curtail my 1st amendment rights because I'm overlord here.

That 'ElevatorGATE' tweeter just said that he doesn't know who Sam Harris is. He hadn't heard of Dennett or Sagan either. I reckon the person behind that account is having everybody on, or else it's a young kid.
