Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
If anyone has a few minutes and wants a good laugh then have a look at the following thread, featuring some of our favorite bloggers and warriors against the patriarchy.
http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/ ... -too-sexy/
The real fun comes in the comment section where Greg Laden (with anger issues) gets annoyed at a poster called Becca and lets fly with a choice insult about her being on her period!
http://i.imgur.com/EHASa.jpg
Does anyone remember Justin Vacula coming within a mile of that sort of woman-hating invective?
Of course not, but guess who is there in the comment section, backing Greg right to the duodenum.
http://i.imgur.com/afS30.jpg
In other words disagree with Greg and there will be consequences you don't like.
Like a misogynistic insult - get off the rag?
Some champion of feminism is our Steph.
"It isn’t pretty, but the inappropriateness is the point."
I think we can see the point, bright and clear - disagree with Greg and any insult, including the most vile misogynistic insult he can think of, is fine!
How on earth have these hypocritical demagogues reached a position of influence in the American atheist movement? :shock:
http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/ ... -too-sexy/
I bet you were, you dirty, perverted creep.I, for one, thank the Skepchicks for every cleavage-delivered shot they’ve given out, every hangover suffered, every snappily answered-to remark borne and converted into a teachable moment. It is difficult, dirty, under appreciated work, and someone has to do it.
And next July, when they are doing it, I’ll be there watching.

Lard of the Wrings
At the risk of seeming inflammatory, I found the LOtR tomes so utterly tedious, boring, stupid, infantile, badly written, riddled with plot defects so as to be quite unreadable.
I actually paid good money for a professionally acted audio version, (famous british actors), but could not bear to listen to the lot the whole way through before summarily deleting the lot, in a mood of despair, disgust and shame.
And don't get me started on the embarrassingly infantile "songs" that litter this abortion of prose.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
It is totally correct. But "Flame of Udun" is another name for a Balrog (specificaly uttered by Gandalf in LOTR). In my very own english speaking voice, Oolon and Udun sound a bit similar.

Yes, I do think something like that would be out of order. There's absolutely no reason for us to behave like that, regardless of their idiocy we should hold ourselves to a higher standard and not resort to such actions. I certainly wouldn't want to participate on a site that organised things like that.
Jokes aside, I'm with you 100% on this one.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I spent a few minutes perusing those threads. It is truly remarkable, the self-pitying attitude that so many people on there seem to have. One poster said "There isn't a single damn thing I could say that would even make it possible for Matt Dillahunty to understand what he did to me". He makes it sound as if Dillahunty set fire to his house and ran over his dog, rather than merely creating a second account on a forum.

Not to mention the flagrant abuse of the word "privilege". The A+ers have misused that word so much that I can't read it without inwardly cringing. Apparently giving new posters the benefit of the doubt is an example of privilege.

To support my assertion that oolon = Gollum, I shall now quote from the LotR, chapter The Shadow of the Past.
MKG, you might want to skip over this post. Perhaps you skip over all my posts anyway. :mrgreen:
Gollum had good friends now, good friends and very strong. They would help him. Baggins would pay for it.
What he had been doing he would not say. He only wept and called us cruel, with many a gollum in his throat; and when we pressed him he whined and cringed, and rubbed his long hands, licking his fingers as if they pained him, as if he remembered some old torture. But I am afraid there is no possible doubt: he made his slow, sneaking way, step by step, mile by mile, south, down at last to the land of Mordor.
Mordor draws all wicked things, and the Dark Power was bending all its will to gather them there. The Ring of the Enemy would leave its mark, too, leave him open to the summons.

That explains her silence over Ladens blatant misogyny, harrassment and threats of violence.
He is on her side so she is forced to bite her tongue.
Mind you, the way she enthusiastically jumps into line with those dogpiling 'gender traitors' (a name that gained its currency from her own blog) I'm pretty sure she thinks those on the other side deserve everything they get and it's not so much biting her tongue as much as happily joining the mob.

Yes indeed, behaving like a decent human being, in our much-vaunted 'safe space', is so fatiguing. Feel free to be a cunt.I want to stress something here! The policy of assuming good faith for new users, and trying to be welcoming to them, is required only for moderators and admins! We do not require or expect regular users to do this! We encourage those who feel up to welcoming people, to do so, and if you wish, and feel you have the necessary brainspoons, to assume good faith on the part of new posters, but we will not expect this of you, and we will not look down on anyone who doesn't feel up to it. Extending benefit of the doubt is a tiring thing, and if you aren't able, you are not at fault for that.

O I so agree. I recall throwing a small spanner in the works of a gang of four or more who wanted to use "chairperson" (like, that's sane) instead of chairman and I objected to the use of the clearly misogynistic "son" and offered "chairperdaughter" instead. Trolling started before the internet, you see.rayshul wrote:Boy I sure fucking love the language police arguments. Yep, they're so fucking useful. Glad we're rehashing all that lovely wank.

I'm quite annoyed JV quit. I was actually close to angry while at work today, which I suppose I have no right to be. JV doesn't owe anyone anything and obviously he's doing the right thing by him. But fuck these people, really. Imagine if a group of religious people had campaigned to stop someone becoming a leader. Would anyone listen? This feels EXACTLY the same.

Bismarket, if you are real, why the fuck did you just turn up here and suggest something that would get this board shut down?
That is going to make any group suspicious.
And if you are serious then fuck off.
Giving them a martyr complex is exactly what they want.

I only give this place a pass because at least i don't see you lot trying to ruin anyones career &/or ability to raise a family. Maybe i DID make a mistake & didn't realise just how nervous some of you were but i did expect you to at least assume i was genuine but sadly, just like THEM it was "Go for him" time. Never mind, maybe we can start again? :think:bismarket wrote:Oh fuck they seriously got some of you lot paranoid havn't they?

OK thanx, i understand. I try to be careful myself & don't often participate in forums at all, but it was what they did to Vacula that was the last straw for me. I don't know if he's got a family to support but it seems so wrong that he's resigned due to them. I do have a habit of going off the deep end but this has gotten me so angry. Maybe i'll do a formal welcome post in a little while after lunch. OK? :)decius wrote:Since we lack psychic powers and you even use two different monikers, you got the order reversed - the introduction should have come first.bismarket wrote: https://twitter.com/OffensivAtheist

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
The whole point of this forum is to provide a record of the hypocrisy of the FTB/Skepchick mob. They constantly accuse us of planning various forms of illegal harrassment here but none of that has been shown to be true - leading to them attempting to plant evidence here themselves (yes ooolon, we know what you're doing)bismarket wrote:OK thanx, i understand.

I get the feeling that he knew very well that the A+ crowd are biased (because it's been clear since elevatorgate that the community has divided into the FTB supporters and everyone else and Dillahunty and his fellow conference gravy trainers know exactly which script to stick to.Tigzy wrote:Oh fuck, I nearly pissed meself reading that.

More power to them.Incidentally, other than creating a heavily moderated forum and suggesting that A+scribe thing for the hearing impaired (in the process of which they dogpiled on a commenter for asking an innocent question about first getting copyright permissions), what exactly have any of these people done to promote this whole social justice thing they keep talking about? I mean actual physical results, or at least a working blueprint for planned activism?

The trouble is that such fragile individuals are exactly those who are the best target for the merchants/gurus/commissars whatever you want to call them. They want a "home" and will do what it takes to get one, including trying to rake anyone who threatens the comfy space they were promised. It's the old quandary of the revolutionary - put them against the wall, or make the wall out of them? Which is why I've always hated revolutionaries.

If I'm to be serious for a moment, it's a shame JV quit, but I can't really blame him if he simply didn't want to put up with all the crap. On the other hand, if the only reason was to make the criticism of the SCA to cease, then I have to say it was a bad political move. Oh well. There's a reason politics of any kind gives me hives.

Re: Lard of the Wrings
I feel a schism coming on. Although, as someone else said, I think our dear MKG may have encountered LOtR too late. I have the same thing with Harry Potter. I've read (or listened to) five of the seven books, on the insistence of a friend. They're tolerable, but I can't bring myself to actually like them or care about them. To be fair I suspect I wouldn't like LOtR nearly as much if i re-read them now.Git wrote:Fucking Heretic.Michael K Gray wrote:At the risk of seeming inflammatory, I found the LOtR tomes so utterly tedious, boring, stupid, infantile, badly written, riddled with plot defects so as to be quite unreadable.
I actually paid good money for a professionally acted audio version, (famous british actors), but could not bear to listen to the lot the whole way through before summarily deleting the lot, in a mood of despair, disgust and shame.
And don't get me started on the embarrassingly infantile "songs" that litter this abortion of prose.
Also, while we're filling out our cast of characters, I hypothesise that ERV = Gandalf - beard. Arnie plays the part of Shadowfax.

alsoby FlewellynI wish, personally, to apologize on behalf of the administrators and moderators, for not moving faster on this. We had hoped that we could come to some reconciliation with Dillahunty on the matter; but we see now that this was wrongheaded of us. It was also wrong for us to put public relations above the sanctity of safe space, by showing differential enforcement of the rules to a "big name".

YES!!!! I guess somebody saw my top comment on the Dillahunty video asking why he still wasn't banned and followed through. At least, that's what I hope they did. This is going to be good.
