Also, I noticed that the counter for sending Secular Woman to Skepticon has been stuck at $1245 for a couple of weeks now. Six days to go until the deadline.

Thoughts?

Currently in A+ forum land, where they're talking about the haters. It seems as if they've decided that A+ is only for the marginalised and people-without-privilege, which is confusing because by their definition a bunch of us here would be considered marginalised or people-without-privilege (PWP, eh! HAH). Via Setar:
Atheism+ is not a big tent. It's not intended to be a big tent.

Big tents are for and by the privileged. Marginalized people may exist inside a big tent, but the will of the big tent will always be skewed towards its most privileged members -- see the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States.

This is a small tent. This is a tent of the marginalized. This is where we go when we're sick of people in the big tent trying to push us around.
Hng. It's not for the marginalised. It's for people who enjoy the idea of being victims. Big difference.

I also sometimes think that if these "young pretty" ladies were placed on the clubs I used to hang out at they'll have their wish of being left alone wanted.
No, PZ, I am not a MRA. I am just a woman that had to deal a lot with male attention back in the day. Call me an observer of human nature.
you are a shallow cunt.

It's most used by manipulative shits playing the "nice guy" game. I'm sure every woman on the board has dealt with it. It's the whole "oh, our relationship is TOO SPECIAL for mere animalistic things like sex. I love you in a pure, unvarnished way."
nope, not this woman.

and I thank the bloody universe for that

This is a small conference that happens in Orange County, California every year. The person who started it and works hard to put it together was very excited to get PZ Myers and Greta Christina as speakers in 2013. (I don't think he follows all the drama)
http://freethoughtalliance.org/fta/annu ... /speakers/

He just added Matt Dillahunty today.
I wonder how this will work out? This is a small conference, so not as easy to avoid people.

Pinker wrote: The worst aspects of the PUA world, and where things could go horribly wrong, and where the detractors have a case to make against it, are the 'negs', 'last minute resistance', 'kino escalation'. These are certain techniques used so that the PUA can "F-close" (fuck) the "HB9" (hot babe with a rating 9 out of 10). Last minute resistance (or LMR) in particular is the worst pua-term. It reads like something out of a rapists guidebook:
LMR is an acronym for Last Minute Resistance. This term describes the feelings a woman goes through once she is in a seduction location and resists a man’s attempts at physical escalation. This is often considered to be part of her ASD or Anti-Slut Defense, but the two terms are not interchangable.

from http://www.pualingo.com/pua-definitions ... tance-lmr/ [nsfw]
Hahaha. Well, I guess it can sound rapey enough if taken out of context. However, I'm not aware of any formal strategy for "last minute resistance" that includes force, though I'll admit that I left the scene several years ago, so I might not know...

From reading that definitions page though, it seems like "freeze out" [That's never what I called it. Actually never had a name for it. I'm entertained by how every little thing has its own name though. Very systematic...] is actually how I choose to handle "last minute resistance". If things start getting warm and she puts a pause to it, I just chill out for a few minutes, and then politely let her know that I have an early morning the next day and either send her on her way, or take my ass home. I know that enough women see sex as a "gift" that they give from themselves to men, [Yes, I'm being heteronormative. Bite me.] but I don't, so I'm not about to grovel for it.

What's their reasoning for accusing him of being a racists?

Yeah, yeah. I know. It's probably going to be something totally inane, but I just wanna know how it is that their little minds reached this conclusion.

Just lie there and think of England China.

http://isteve.blogspot.ca/2012/10/chine ... about.html
From the NY Times article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/12/opini ... d=tw-share
When holding out for a man, if you say he must be rich and brilliant, romantic and hardworking ... this is just being willful. Does this kind of perfect man exist? Maybe he does exist, but why on earth would he want to marry you?
Here in the Enlightened West, however, we have moved far beyond such retrograde notions as "conjugal happiness" and all realize that true feminist bliss is dying alone, like Shulamith Firestone.

To lovely sacha posting a pic of Watson:

I must say, sacha, my love, my dearest dear (oh woe is me, is truly me, that I could never meet/meat your liqourish requirements ... pout, pout, and pout doubleplus), that that is without doubt the best pic of Watson I've ever seen. She actually looks like an attractive human being, rather than, well, er, um, you know ... the rest of it all.

Just sayin'.

Also, welcome, with bells and vigorous whistles, and cups of Elevatorâ„¢ brand coffee, to all the new members/posters, with most especial and wriggly-lab-dog-wiggly-tail-glee notice to Al SteffiDude, I, sir, am most pleasured with your appearance.

Al was lucky to get out of their with his scalp still attached to his head (although with the hat I can't really tell for sure). ;)

Actually, PZ probably has more beef with another speaker, Josh Rosenau (who is, in PZ's defense, stupid and whiny). Another example.
It is amazing how many 'enemies' he has amassed, though.
I live near there (well, in LA), so I might show up and bring me some popcorn.

It can read the minds of all, except (curiously) for Rapists, for whom it fails utterly, and goes into Shröedinger emergency mode.

(Strange that: the A+Theismnatists can read everyones' thoughts & intentions with crystal clarity, and publicise their ball-crying-scrying neuromancy to the globe, but can't read the thoughts of a rapist®.
Is that a special Jedi power wielded by Rapists®?)

Is it? Some here would know better than me perhaps, but how does the idea that god (judeao-christian-islamic, presumably) is a bit down on the chicks - which he is - lead to the conclusion that s/he/it doesn't exist? God, especially in the old testament, is a right bastard to lots of people. That doesn't stop believers from believing. It never has.

God is nasty therefore s/he/it doesn't exist? That's not reason or scepticism, it's just wishful thinking.

*I'm glad to have been reminded of this term. Henceforth FTB shall be The Chyme Pit to me!
Where do they come up with this crap? My *mother* and *grandmother* are feminists and (GASP!) religious women. It isn't necessarily a "common path to accepting atheism". Sometimes people just make my brain hurt.
especially the relentlessly stupid ones. Feminism leads to atheism. Bless her heart.

I am not that PRIVILEGED!
BTW, this was a single tiered seated balconied theatre of which I talk, not the whole "hall".
4K isn't bad for Oz, relatively speaking.

It certainly outdoes the Yank-wank Tam-scam attendee/population ratio even further!
1,200/313,847,465 (July 2012 est. ex CIA) = 3.8 per million
4,000/22,015,576 (July 2012 est. ") = 181.7 per million

When I select items via the link it takes me to the amazon.com page for the item, is there any way you can set up links to local amazon pages?

The fuck, he actually did.

http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ ... 12/for-al/
5 minutes later, PZ posted his next topic: White and delightsome (a Brian Keith Dalton video about racism inherent in Mormonism), saying it should be watched before the debate.

I'm now going to waste 10 seconds considering why he put those 2 in juxtaposition: Shame/repentance/coverup for the thread about Al, felt a need to get back in with racism-sensitive A+'ers? Had some grand plan all along to post them back-to-back? The pair of topics actually is intended to take a poke at Al's Mormon friends, or at Al for having Mormon friends? (If applicable.) Was clueless about any possible connection?

'Kay, that's it. I'm done wondering about that.

I'm the edgy and mean atheist, yeah.') I'm open to being proven wrong though...if the book ever gets written, that is.
If it is just a handy compilation of PZ's greatest hits, he should just call it, "Easy Peasy" (groan).

OK, one internet to the best funny title for the phantom book.
The Blog Delusion?

Sacha: thanks for the correction.

Poor agapornis is taking a right slapping over there, with our old pal LeftSidePositive going for some kind of Chyme Pit* record post length. It's a re-run of a familiar theme: "Boo-hoo, people are being big meanies by insisting the word atheism means what it actually means, instead of all the other shit we want to hang off it."

Tough buns Zeffalump!"Disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings." That's it. You want to go wibbling on about feminism? Well there's already a word for that. It's 'feminism'. Aren't dictionaries great?

Quoth the Zeffalin:
Feminism is, after all, another common path to accepting atheism. Pointing out the misogyny of most organized religion is another means we use to justify fighting its influence.
Is it? Some here would know better than me perhaps, but how does the idea that god (judeao-christian-islamic, presumably) is a bit down on the chicks - which he is - lead to the conclusion that s/he/it doesn't exist? God, especially in the old testament, is a right bastard to lots of people. That doesn't stop believers from believing. It never has.

God is nasty therefore s/he/it doesn't exist? That's not reason or scepticism, it's just wishful thinking.

*I'm glad to have been reminded of this term. Henceforth FTB shall be The Chyme Pit to me!
Feminism as a path to Atheism? That The atheist movement let in a bunch of people and allowed them to talk for atheism when their "atheism" was based not on rational thought but the belief in God was cramping their style was exactly the point made by Girl Writes What in her vblog "Atheism, you asked for it"

Not the best but I always read the title of PZ's potential as "Crabby Atheist".

You don't care about zebras? You probably don't care about other animals then, incuding humans, specifically women.

At least according to this logic.

"Confronting" Becca

#18176

Post by Mykeru »

So, according to Rebecca Watson, this is the sort of "confrontation" that should have someone banned from a conference:

(quoting from original Pit)
Sacha
gender traitors international
June 28, 10:16 pm
The evening of 9 July, I will be attending “a private meet-and-greet with Steve Novella, Bob Novella, Jay Novella, Rebecca Watson, and Evan Bernstein from “The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe.” Come join us for some light refreshments, get your picture taken with the hosts of SGU, ask them that question that you’ve always been dying to ask, or just hang out with like-minded folks who are also interested in all things skeptic and science.”

Any requests? I’d be more than happy to give Beccie a letter from the slimepit, and/or just leave her a card, and yes, I will be wearing an ERV – Gender Traitor badge.
Plus I think I shall make a Gender Traitors International badge as well.
I should have business cards with gender traitors international, and my name to hand out…
Don't you hate it when the peons put their smudgy hands on your limo?
JackRayner wrote:By the by, Mykeru, if you're looking for more on the doxxing of @ElevatorGate, you can find Sulky Amy's proxy here.

As you may have already seen from his Tumblr blog, 3 of his posts were DMCA'd by Amy. These DMCA claims were filled on July 25th, July 30th, and August 9th, but he didn't actually notice until August 17th, a few days after GirlWritesWhat posted the video about the DMCA's against her. Around the time, as people were brainstorming ways for GWW to make a counter-claim without having to expose her personal information, [feminists have done some nasty stuff to gender-traitors like her before...] someone suggested this fellow. GWW did something else, but when EG got DMCA'd, I began PM'd him for a bit [I don't think he'll mind it being mentioned, it's nothing exceptional] and suggested that he try that fellow out. He told me he would counter-claim on his own, and I left it alone. I never quite asked him why. It was by the next day, I believe, that I caught word that he was being doxxed by the idiot linked above.

TL;DR:

- Sulky Amy DMCA'd @ElevatorGate thrice between July 25th and August 9th
- @ElevatorGate noticed on August 17th, at which point he either counter-claimed on the same night or the following day.
- By the 18th, Sulky Amy's proxy was created, and began doxxing @ElevatorGate.
So, is the the guy they DMCA the guy who apparently tweeted something rape-y? Hard to know what that was as Rebecca's definition of confrontational, as we see above, is creative. Any screen caps of that tweet? Is this the guy they got fired?

I'm interested in the sequence because I suspect that, based on their standard operating procedure:

The DMCAing preceded the tweet in question. That is, he was doxed for his criticism of Rebecca Watson. A later paranoid interpretation of a tweet became the post hoc rationale. Although they claim he was fired for his tweet, more likely he was fired because Rebecca and her friends (she admits to pissing off tweeters, banning them and letting her minions do the work) did a Justin Vacula on him.

If someone can give me a sense of what was said when by whom, and explain it to me like I'm an idiot, it would be appreciated.

Reap has extended an invitation to Oolon on his podcast. It would be nice and interesting to hear this.

Yes I have and the offer still stands. In fact I have always made it clear anyone I talk about or have a dispute with is welcome to come on my show and clear up any misconceptions or to tell me what they think of me directly. I have a certain amount of respect for anyone who will do that no matter what it is they have to say.

I read the title and was like "naw, motherfucker didn't go there...". Then I read this:
It took me a while, but I finally figured out what was so familiar about it. It’s the one-drop rule rewritten for our situation.
This white bitch is really conflating her middle class, white little club non-issues with the motherfucking one-drop rule? Why don't you go ahead and say next time that woman is the nigger of the world?

We're going to need our own dictionary pretty soon, and with entries like that I think it would outsell PZ's red-shifted opuscule.
