This...right there. This is one of my biggest problems. PZ shows this a lot recently with his arbitrarily taking people's (and by "people" I mean those firmly planted between his ass cheeks) word for things and willfully and gleefully not checking sources and facts. He's a *scientist* for shit's sake. This is becoming a reoccurring theme among several within the FfTB/A+ realm. They have no business calling themselves skeptics.

Just send your ass shot for comparison to a third party we can agree on that would want to see that shit.

Similar to atheists who are atheists for the wrong reasons, or lack of reasons, this rift has revealed the skeptics who are skeptics not because they apply method impartially, but because they began with the bias of "oh, i don't like that" and then sought ad hoc reasons to support that bias. P.Z is not so much an atheist as an anti-theist. He just really is pissed off at religion. then there's the Dillahunty effect of being able to parrot rebuttals to theism without understanding general principles, or simply choosing to give things he likes a pass.

We thought skepticism was a garden in bloom, but now we have to pause to pull some weeds.

Three pregnant women are waiting at the doctor's office. The brunette says: "I was on top when my baby was conceived, so I bet it's going to be a girl!" "Oh", says the redhead, "my husband was on top, so I must be having a little boy." The blonde starts crying. "What's wrong honey?" "I'M GOING TO HAVE PUPPIES!"

Saw the start of this thread in the "Introduce yourself" forum at Atheism+ last night; it has progressed and apparently - hold onto your hats, this is shocking, I know - resulted in the quick ban of the skeptic gentleman who started it: http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2331

I will someday learn how to do screen shots. Since that day has not arrived yet, here's my knockoff A+ scribe version of it (without links & Cipher's gifs).

tysixtus starts off introducing himself:
Before we get to know each other I should probably list my privileges.

White male hetero slightly wealth-enabled slightly education-enabled atheist. I don't know how to use gender neutral pronouns, since we don't have any in the English language and I think all of the made up ones sound dumb.

Anyways, hello everyone. Some of you may know me from IIDB back in the day, and I currently visit TR as the best, most sensitive poster there. I have never raped anyone, and I have no intentions of doing so.
You can imagine this goes over well. Cipher says English uses "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun. tyxistus points out that that won't be let through in publications e.g. journal articles. Cipher doesn't take this well and is (shocking, I now) kinda rude.

Near bottom of page 1, tysixtus says (in a longer post quoting Cipher's comments):
I have to say, your mission statement and this attitude are really not compatible. Does a man have to prove to you that he is worth listening to? Is that how freethought operates? This isn't rhetorical, I'm genuinely curious. I want to know how you can hold these two contradictory positions at the same time.

At any rate, if I am in the position of having to explain why I should be allowed to post, nothing I can say will matter anyways.
Cipher replies:
If you want to, sure. What else do you need help with?
I'd ask for a primer on understanding sarcasm, but it looks like you're in need of one yourself.
Does a man have to prove to you that he is worth listening to? Is that how freethought operates?
Welcome to skepticism! Looks like you've lost your way - "spouting whatever inane drivel comes to mind with no accountability" is that way. Have a nice day!
tysixtus replies:
Cipher wrote:

Yes, I suppose I am.
Does a man have to prove to you that he is worth listening to? Is that how freethought operates?
Welcome to skepticism! Looks like you've lost your way - "spouting whatever inane drivel comes to mind with no accountability" is that way. Have a nice day!
That is not skepticism. In fact, it sounds a lot like the speech restrictions laid down by organized religion. You should just be honest with yourself, you don't want discussion. You want fascism.
Cipher quotes all of the above and adds:
animated gif of Bellatrix laughing [ Show ]
animated gif of Sherlock closing the door in Anderson's face, with the text "Yes, thank you for your input." [ Show ]
tysixtus replies:
A stunning riposte, sir. I am undone.
Onamission5 weighs in:
Got that, everyone? FASCISM.

Mod Hat: I see that you have chosen door number two. Please move quickly and collect your belongings, it closes soon.
Suncountess adds some drivel about dogwhistle (their new favorite term, apparently) & shit, then Cipher qutoes tyxistus's "stunning riposte" with a gif that suggests Cipher missed the point, then tyxistus posts his last hurrah:
Onamission5 wrote:

Got that, everyone? FASCISM.
Yes, it is on Wikipedia. Look it up. Wikipedia is pretty handy for things like this.
Mod Hat: I see that you have chosen door number two. Please move quickly and collect your belongings, it closes soon.
I understand. I said something that hurt your feelings, and now I have to go. Enjoy your bubble, I hope it lasts a long time. You guys seem to need it.
Then some throw-away posts about fascism by Flewellyn & Grimalkin, then this from Flewellyn:
And nothing of value was lost.
Onamission5 confirms that the deed has been done (tyxistus has been banned? But it doesn't say "banned" under his name in his posts).

Cipher adds, "helpfully":
Nobody gives a shit about yet another whingeing douchefuck who can't tell the difference between not being allowed to post on a forum and being brutally oppressed through violence. You're not important enough to hurt anyone's feelings - you're just another trolling, ignorant fuck, indistinguishable from the last, providing a bit of entertainment before your inevitable... how to put this delicately... departure from our space.

A Biology professor walks into a bar...

http://i.imgur.com/dUzdR.jpg


It was an irony bar.

In reality the joke has a one word punchline: oolon

Is PZ really so dismissive of the intellect of his readers that he assumes they all have the attention span of a goldfish?
Come to think of it, and having read many of the responses on that and other FTB threads, he might have a point.
Why waste time building a real argument when you can type out any old crap - even stuff that directly contradicts what you have just said and done - and the plebs still rally behind you, burning torches and pitchforks in hand.

What is he saying here: that noelplumb99 should come onto the slymepit and argue against the unethical stuff (according to Peezus) that goes on here.
And if he does that? What exactly will happen?

Lets think of two possible scenarios.

1. noelplumb99 gets immediately labeled a disgusting slymer and banned from the FC5 blogs. All his previous arguments are deemed trolling and anyone who agrees with one of these points is tarred and feathered.

3. Rainbow coloured ponies that smell like chocolate fly out of my butt to the strains of Beethovens "Ode To Joy", while a secret portal opens up leading to the dressing room of actress Ornella Muti in 1980. She is wearing her Princess Aura costume from 'Flash Gordon', and looks pleased to see me. "Dick", she exclaims excitedly, "I've been waiting".

3. Peezus and O congratulate noelplumb99 for his even handed approach, saying that he's proven that he is a neutral party only interested in the arguments and not in personal attacks.

OK, OK, I needed three scenarios to get to the probabilities correct.

I actually thrive on turning their kind of humorless, mean-spirited horseshit into life-affirming Lulz.

C'mon baboolies, think of the lulz. And the baby otters.
Hell, I'm actually quite surprised when I get mentioned in passing - you know, when they start talking about MRA lovers and chill girls :D I think one person even said that I'm "despicable" (https://twitter.com/aratina/status/259360017893953536 only found out due to Ophie being "confused" about a video I did not make).
Well, of course they don't get that I'm "MRA" only to the extent that I'm a skeptic. If some truly bullshit claim came out of some MRA source, I would criticize that too.
You might check out the debate with Paul Elam – of A Voice for Men – where he argues or strongly suggests, I think, that some jurists should vote for acquital in rape cases regardless of the evidence – jury nullification. That looks a little off the wall to me – and to a number of others here.
I'm not distancing myself from the "MRA" label, just the presumption that they have that the opposition must be the ideological mirror image of them, knee-jerk group-think and all.
Groups of all kinds – from the McCarthyists to the Stalinists; from the Elks to the Boy Scouts – are prone to that. I don’t think it takes much effort to find evidence of that on either side of just about any line creating two subgroups out of one.
But my experience so far with MRAs is that they would be far more receptive to criticism than these clowns because the MRM is essentially a skeptical reaction to a pernicious form of woo.
While you didn’t actually argue that all MRAs are like the ones you’ve seen so far, my experience is that there seems to be a not insignificant percentage of those who self-identify as MRAs who are just as off the wall and into woo just as deep as the most radical radfem. Woo – as evidenced by all of the different religions, secular and otherwise – seems to come in a great many varieties.
Not to mention they are ugly as shit. I took a gnarled crap this morning that would be more likely to be hit on than The Beaver.
Apart from the questions of whether that is true and whether you’re any better in that department, I wonder what either has to do with the credibility of all of their arguments, whether they hold any water or not.

A+ forum has a spinoff: "Atheism Plus: A non safe space for atheists who want to discuss social justice" http://atheismplus.4rumer.com/
created by someone with 46 posts at A+ forum; announced here, to less-than-enthusiastic response: "NonSafe Space A+ Forum" http://atheismplus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2326

So far there are no rules. (The forum rules say that.) One of the 20 posts is by Kaine Damo, who was banned at A+ forum. He thinks he can be more patient & fit in better this time, but he also critiques the A+ forum including "I find the mods there in particular to be very negative and combative"...which one suspects might not be an approach guaranteeing a long-lived membership in the "non safe space", or at least may end up contributing to potential future strain between this variant A+ forum and the true A+ (Cipher-Grimalkin-ceepolk) forum.

Heh, in response #5 Greg Laden hands Lousy Canuck his smug uber-privilege back on a platter, including this:
...But some of the people living in what Americans see as trashed out mud huts in the stinking rotting jungle are actually several hundred percent happier than anyone reading this blog will ever be because things are pretty good. ...

I’m telling you this here because I made promises to some of the people in the mud huts to not facilitate the “first world” misunderstanding of everything beyond their noses.

OK you may continue. Thank you very much.
My respect for GL just rose about 2 microns.

I can't speak for those who object to Ryfsten's philosophy, but I suspect a couple of reasons. For one thing, that's a huge hypothetical (Hitch being dead)...
It was common knowledge while he was alive, and I had planned to meet him in SF, when he was here (SF) for part of his book tour, which was cancelled last minute, as he had just become aware of his condition.

It seems I may have missed a good part of the discussion, as I was not aware of this behaviour at all.

From the Slate article:
After all, it seemed rather obvious to me that if your goal is to get sex or even just companionship, the very worst way to go about attaining that goal is to attend a conference, listen to a woman speak for 12 hours about how uncomfortable she is being sexualized at conferences, wait for her to express a desire to go to sleep, follow her into an isolated space, and then suggest she go back to your hotel room for “coffee,” which, by the way, is available at the hotel bar you just left.
12 hours? Makes you wonder what other details she is exaggerating.

What do you say to a mass registration onto that site? That would surely rile up the A+ commentariat. I've already cast my lot in, fairly conspicuous. Maybe they won't realise I'm a Pitter so soon. :D

If it's true, then I'm surprised anyone still had the willpower to pay attention and not zone-out by the 30 minute mark. And I thought she can't recognize faces. So how does she know the guy (she can't give a description of) was in attendance for her talk? How does she know he was at the hotel for the convention at all, or is in anyway connected to the skeptic community? I know, I know. All old points that have been raised a zillion times around here, but if she can be repetitive so can I.

btw, did Watson ever apologize to Stef McGraw for equating her simple point of disagreement with anonymous rape threats? Just asking for the benefit of any lurkers who might barely be catching up with all this shit due to the slate article.

12 hours? Makes you wonder what other details she is exaggerating.

It's time dilation, folks.
As she becomes a bigger and bigger star, her gravity increases, which, as we all know, has an effect on the apparent speed of light and thus time.

Just a year ago it was 10 hours (she gives that figure in the althouse bloggingheads interview)

http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/07/re ... -time.html


Now it's 12.

If her internet fame goes on increasing at at the current exponential rate I calculate that this time next year the story will be that on that day people listened to her talk for 48 hours non-stop about how she hates being sexualized by guys making a pass at her.

As for her actually saying this at the Dublin conference, there is no record.
It wasn't during her actual talk (Aaron Ra has the talk on his youtube channel).
It could only have been during her bar session (10 hours, 12 hours - who the hell can remember details after that length of time drinking in a Dublin bar!)
I have only seen one person admit to being there at the time - that looney PZ sycophant, Rorscharch - and even he says he went to bed early and didn't see Rebecca leave. I havent seen anyone who thought they knew who Elevatorguy really was.

I say British because I get the feeling that a lot of this 'privilege', SJW, etc. stuff comes from other continents. I've literally never come across it in real life over here.
hahaha! "other continents" how tactful.

Latest trend in pets - a baby echidna - from Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
Coincidence!

Apparently these are called puggles, and I was just chatting to a colleague of mine who owns a puggle (pug/beagle cross dog)...


for fuck's sake. I've worked with dogs for over 15 years, and have volunteered for homeless, neglected, and abused dogs for even longer. "Designer Dogs" are for those that think having a mutt is below them. I refuse to acknowledge their "designer status". They are another commodity for unethical breeders (99.9% are unethical), catering to people who think that the more they spend on a dog, the more status they have in their fucked community of peers. They need to take all of the bloody ridiculous designer clothes they buy to dress up their "designer dogs" and carry around a fucking doll instead.

Where is my army of vultures??!!

Dogs (and other animals) are not status symbols.


by the way, KiwiInOz's little, fluffy, purebred, piss take was funny and spot on.

and Kiwi, I could have quite a collection of balls from all the neutered dogs...

Oh yes, it's the dog's bollocks

I've put this out there before, but bears repeating:
Rebecca Watson: College student. Receives rape threats, too scared to go to TAM (a 3 day event).

Jessica Ahlquist: High school student. Receives rape threats, attends school every fucking day.

How soon can we have Jessica replace Rebecca at all the meetings?

I have so much respect for this young woman, Jessica Ahlquist. So much more considering that she's actually received real death threats, from people most likely attending her same school, and yet perseveres and hasn't allowed it to turn her into a husk of victim mentality. It makes me incredibly melancholic that the magazine that once published articles for the Hitch now deem the smut Watson and Myers spew worthy of publication.

No, apart from a user registering here with the user name "flewellyn" (the A+ mod at the centre of Dillahuntygate), which caused some speculation that it may be a hint from the poe.

Personally, I have my doubts the poe mod exists. Iftheret is a poe, I hope it isn't flewellyn - that will give the A+ the excuse they're looking for to absolve themselves of responsibility.

Get it right. I'm Keyser Söze. My empire selling fake SurlyRamics facilitates my ability to run sweatshops in western China and Myanmar for the sole purpose of creating over 90% of every sock puppet in every forum the world, entirely at my command and whim. The beauty of this scenario is that my confirming or denying anything has become redundant - what I may say has no chance of competing with popular imagination.

I guess Oolon still thinks he's one step ahead...

That's awesome.

How long have you been at this, by the way? I used to be a SceinceDaily junky a few years ago, and would end up reading press releases on HIV/AIDS research pretty often. Would be interesting if some of those press releases were based on your work. :)

A little bit of self disclosure, but it's not like I'm being specific or anything: A friend of mine is infected with HIV, but they've managed to keep it at bay. Last I heard it's been suppressed to the point where it is undetectable in their blood. Sure, their life has been drastically altered because of it, but if the way they've kept themselves relatively healthy all of this time, and news on progress [like with your work] are any indication, I think it's safe to say that they will probably be dying in a manner closer to those of us that are not infected. So, I'd like to thank you for the work that you do, even if it might not be directly affecting my friend yet. This is a friend I like having around...

So you consider being hurt by having trust violated a hangup rather than a useful and productive social emotion, interesting. Remind me which school of sociopathy that comes from?
Precisely it. Inability to empathise with the other, therefore the other is irrelevant. Must be hanging around Skepchick too long. Like Becky Watson sending her well meaning handler out into the night for vegetarian cashew chicken just for lulz. Not Becky's fault they were that stupid haha.

Social contracts are what bind us together in what we call communities. To piss on these social contracts and then claim to want to help your fellow man whenever possible is just... It leaves me speechless. I do not see any difference between that and the sociopathy of SulkyAmy easing her soul by making trivial donations from her retard jewellery to whatever pop cause of the day. "Cognitive dissonance" doesn't even scratch the surface.

Another irony-meter exploded here. From Popehat, via B&W:
But they reject that inheritance, choosing instead a life of petty bureaucratism and insipid, infantilizing "civility." Offered an opportunity to treat both speakers and listeners as adults, they treat them as children instead — children whose words must be curtailed until they do not offend even the most intolerant and overly sensitive child in the class.

A nation run by the Swifts, Daveys, Silcocks,and Joneses of the world will be weak and dull-witted and crabbed and pointless. Such people exist in every place; it's up to us whether we will put up with them or call them out. I prefer calling them out. So write about things like this. Help shine a light on the Swifts and Daveys and Silcocks and Joneses and their censorious twatwafflery. Write them and express yourself — in a civil and non-harassing manner, please.

Don't let idiocy like this go without comment, until it becomes the norm. Don't let your home become a place where the petty and the wicked use "blasphemy" and "offense" as an excuse to silence dissent. Fight back.
Use "offense" to silence dissent? Who would do that? WHO??
