I think I may have to take this advice from now on, seeing how they seem to be a double-faced troll. Shame, I thought there was hope yet. I'm an optimist!

Double-faced? I pretty much just summarised my experience on here... On here FFS! How is that double-faced? I mean I know I don't agree with you and you don't agree with me but does that make me two-faced? Or maybe you are saying PZ is right and posting on here in anything other than full out frothing disapproval mode is tacit agreement.... I don't see it that way but maybe you need to maintain the virtual fence between yourself and the 'FtBs lot' so any incursion here is a sign of collusion. I cannot see myself posting 'The Psychology of the Slymepit' any time soon as I don't get it...

BTW, in case you didn't get to the bottom the post has a '?' in it and the conclusion is the pit is not full of misogynists, but in my opinion it is full of misogynistic language, opinions and attacks on female members of FtBs and Skepchick. You are free to disagree on that...

No worries, I just kinda guessed there might be a problem with your hosting. Hope it's nothing major.

Brayton probably ordered NSC to flag anything from Tf00t as spam. Same for you and me as well. That's what happens when you grovel for a few dollars.

Doesn't look like it, as some of Brayton's are flagged as spam as well (including the one ERV highlighted,I believe), and most of Thunderf00ts are still there. I believe NSC was tossing over-the-top dramatics to which he says he does not subscribe, and does not want. Still lots of drama, of course.

About "faggy Josh":

http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic ... osh#p15554

Noticed the asterisk and "A la Louis CK" footnote? Humour, is it totally lost on you?

Here, let me quote the whole comment for you:

Concentrated H2O said:

Of all the FfTB hypocrites, faggy* little Josh is definitely the most prolific:

You know what? Even if you disagree with views such as SCâ€™s on the ethical implications of meat-eating/lobster-boiling, itâ€™s just fucked up to taunt her about it. This is an issue she cares very deeply about and itâ€™s the height of cruel assholishness to jibe at her the way some of you do. You donâ€™t have to like a person to draw some boundaries of decency in how you talk to them.

*a la Louis CK.

You said:

In fact that is a defining characteristic of how they go about their business; hyper-sceptical analysis of everything FtBs/Skepchick say while not applying the same rigour to their own work.

Wrong, false, and proven many times in the last few days.

Again with the, â€œWhere I liveâ€¦â€, rubbish

Yep, the differences in cultures bring differences in language. Uncanny, I know, but what can you do?

Also one other thing, I usually say some Slymepitter believeâ€¦ or sayâ€¦ etc. But in this instance it was clear that no one felt I had even the merest bit of a good point. They are of one mind hereâ€¦

Couldn't be more wrong, and I think I've stated my appreciation for your posts here before. Others may have other views, but I don't really give a fuck.

but I believe I am on the fence/neutral only about two things laid out in that post which no one has been able to refute to my satisfaction

State these two things here clearly, and you'll probably get your answer. Just don't try to slither around avoiding arguments you don't like.

I'm still reserving my personal views on your character, and you are not (nor is anyone else) on my ignore list. So please, go ahead and discuss.

And yeah, I'm probably feeding the troll, but maybe not. Optimist, I told y'all.

Greg Laden's book now has a 5 stars review written by a guy named Gareth Renowden, who seems to have a blog as well.

Now the interesting part IMO is that Renowden is also a writer, he has a book on the kindle store called "The Aviator (The burning world)". And in Amazon's page for that book, we can find a 5 stars review written by no one else but Gregory T. Laden.

If you are a woman writing about atheism (or anything else, really) on the internet, expect abuse. Expect lots of abuse from people like Justin Vacula, or worse. Expect rape threats, death threats, and obsessive stalkers. Expect the worst humanity has to offer directed right at you, because it will happen. And if you donâ€™t think you can handle it, you should probably take some precautions. Consider disabling comments on your blog, consider not making your email account public knowledge, only friend people that you know and trust on Facebook, etc.

First she says:

Expect rape threats, death threats, and obsessive stalkers. Expect the worst humanity has to offer directed right at you, because it will happen."

Then, she says,

"In his post, Vacula treats online harassment and sexism as an inevitable consequence of blogging, instead of a problem that we should fix."

In between that, she says,

"The problem is that Vacula and his allies are the ones making blogging difficult. Theyâ€™re the people weâ€™re fighting against to make being on the internet easier for women"

OK, well, then... Justin, you better get busy fixing the Internets...

Maybe Greg had arranged for PZ Barnum to write a 5-star review of his book in return for a 5-star review of his book. But we all know PZ's book will never arrive, so he had to fix it with someone else.

Youtube comments getting marked as spam is done by the normal users, I think it's just a matter of a few people marking a comment as spam, and it will be hidden. It's basically just downvoting comments, except I think it requires less votes to get it hidden. Happens all the time when someone is considered a "poopy head" by a few people, but esp. in discussions with really dishonest people of the FTB-kind, that really prefer to silence people instead of discussing with them.
Had a short discussion with infamous YT feminist/nutcase SaelPalini once (she would fit right in with the A+ crowd), and noticed that basically every single comment that criticed her crazy radfeminism was hidden as spam. They would get unmarked after a day or so, as people read them and clicked "not spam", but still kinda amusing, the lengths some people go to.

In any case, it's certainly not the channel owner doing it, if NSC had gotten any "orders" from Ed or PZ, I'm fairly certain that he, as the channel owner, could simply have removed the comments altogether, and banned tf00t from the channel. Which would of course have been a really stupid thing to do if NSC had done it, as it would've given credibility to tf00ts complaining about FTB being a censorship hive-mind etc.

@ReneeHendricks

Since you indicated an interest in the MRM I thought I would draw your attention to the paper linked below. Basically, and the reason why it is recommended, is the finding within the paper affirms the basic tenants of the Manosphere. Many of the tropes are included in this paper and this will spare you the time of searching through the archives of various blogs.

The only difference between what the paper says and the blogs of the Manosphere, is in the language because the paper was written by academics and not bloggers. In one convient place you can find the opinions of PUAs such as Heartsie, MRAs such as Elam of AVFM, Price of The Spearhead, and many others including Susan Walsh of Hooking up Smart and GendErratic.

Very highly recommended and is worth the time spent reading it:

Sexual Economics, Culture, Men, and Modern Sexual Trends

Roy F. Baumeister
is Social Psychology Area Director and Francis Eppes Eminent Scholar at The Florida State University.

Kathleen D. Vohs
is Associate Professor , Carlson School of Management and Land Oâ€™Lakes Professor of Excellence in Marketing at the University of Minnesota.

http://www.springerlink.com/content/vg7 ... tml?MUD=MP

Across the late 20th century, ideas about sex came from two main sources. One was evolutionary theory, based on the field of biology. The other was feminist and social constructionist theory, based in the field of political science. Though important insights have come from both sources, there was a growing body of evidence that did not easily fit either of those. We therefore turned to another field to develop a new theory. The field was economics, and we labeled our theory â€œsexual economicsâ€ (Baumeister and Vohs 2004). At first, our theory was constructed to fit what was already known, making it an exercise in hindsight. It is therefore highly revealing to see how the theory has fared in Regnerus and Ueckerâ€™s (2011) pioneering studies of the recent, ongoing shifts in sexual behavior in American society.

The value of an economic perspective is abundantly clear in Regnerusâ€™s work. Not only does he analyze behavior in terms of markets. In a political democracy, majority rules, and such political principles have often operated in human behavior. But not in sex. In fact, Regnerus shows over and over that when it comes to sex, the minority rules. This is what happens in economics, especially in the dynamics of supply and demand. When supply outnumbers demand, the suppliers (the majority) are in a weak position and must yield ground, such as by reducing their price. In contrast, when demand outnumbers supply, the suppliers (now the minority) have the advantage and can dictate the terms to their liking, such as by raising the price.

In simple terms, we proposed that in sex, women are the suppliers and men constitute the demand (Baumeister and Vohs 2004). Hence the anti-democratic, seemingly paradoxical sex ratio findings that Regnerus describes. When women are in the minority, the sexual marketplace conforms to their preferences: committed relationships, widespread virginity, faithful partners, and early marriage. For example, American colleges in the 1950s conformed to that pattern. In our analysis, women benefit in such circumstances because the demand for their sexuality exceeds the supply. In contrast, when women are the majority, such as on todayâ€™s campuses as well as in some ethnic minority communities, things shift toward what men prefer: Plenty of sex without commitment, delayed marriage, extradyadic copulations, and the like.

Haha!

I never turn away the JW when they show up at my door. They are by now accustomed to being invited in for a hot beverage and other refreshments. So far I have had only one woman decline the offer, so I went inside and brought a chair out for her to sit on while she read to me.

Nowadays, when they show up it is more of a social visit than anything else, and they know they are going to be there for a couple of hours.

Yes, they know I am an Aethist. Yes we discuss various passages in the bible and quite frequently gossip about local activities to boot.

Funny that JWs are being mentioned.

Last night I was out being nice to the one local cat I like around here when I saw two suited men get out of a car parked right across the street. Immediately my "door-to-door-god-seller" radar went off. They must have felt some vibe from me as they decided to start with a different house. I opened our garage door to let the cat in to feed and my guy was straightening up some items. Now keep in mind, he's 6', shaved-headed, and generally looks like he's pissed off all the time. For some reason, they took one look at him, started thinking "JACKPOT!", and began to cross the street...right about the time I closed the garage door and my guy shook his head and said something like "no fucking way".

Yeah...we're nice like that LOL

Most of the JWs and about half of the Mormons who show up at my house will start the conversation in Spanish. My understanding of spoken or written Spanish exceeds my ability to speak it, so the conversation doesn't progress very far.

Also, I'm an atheist, and I let them know that right away. I have read the bible in its entirety and no, I don't want to discuss it. The LDS cyclists on their missions often ask if they can do chores for me, so I send them down the street to help elderly neighbors. I'm perfectly capable of rolling the garbage and recycling bins to the curb, mowing the lawn, etc. Sheesh.

I think she posted that because there has been recent discussions here about the environmental wastefulness of flying all over the place for speaking gigs. She probably thinks "haha I'm going to tell them I'm at the airport again to get them mad at me", just like she thought that cat food pictures were somehow magically pwning our talk of her as a cat lady. which would be really stupid if that's the case, since it means she doesn't really give a shit about the environment, which was the basis of people's frequent air travel complaints.

Both Ophelia and PZ live in parts of the US that haven't been affected significantly by climate change, so they can afford to be smug and "my shit don't stink" about flying all over the planet giving rehash talks at skeptics and atheists meetings. It's not as if they live in coastal areas of New York or New Jersey, or along the Gulf Coast, or in the Southwest - or in a coastal region of a developing country that is subject to flooding and devastation from rising sea levels. Late season superstorms like Sandy merely muck with their abilities to fly on schedule, and just cause some inconveniences that they can then tweet and blag about. It's not as if either one of them spends much time outdoors, or keeps track of conditions and changes with livestock or a backyard garden, so they're not likely to notice or be inconvenienced by even the minor changes that occur in their (relatively buffered) states.

Phil, I just meant in relation to that particular argument - I don't think I'm being dishonest that you thought and think I'm full of shit in regard to that issue :mrgreen:

The 'two things' are on my blog - the PZ banning me post - I may edit a the below little to make it shorter (In danger of being called dishonest ... :-))

oolon wrote: ... I have â€˜stuck upâ€™ for the Slymepitters who PZ sees as horribly misogynist to the core and takes every opportunity to describe them all as such, applying derogatory labels to them all as he goes. This labelling I object to for a couple of reasons -

1. It dehumanises and polarises the situation making it easy to dismiss their arguments but results in him maybe not being as effective in tackling their arguments. I donâ€™t see this as being productive in formulating ways of arguing against their (Some slymepitters) memes and ideologies about feminism, bullying etc which I donâ€™t agree with. It is also clearly incorrect as many on the Slymepit agree with some of the same things as PZ etc. doâ€¦
2. It gives them power. There are clearly some nasty vindictive people on that internet board. On its own this is not a surprise and is probably true of all internet boards, atheist or otherwise. Saying they are all horrible people, using hyperbole, damning and asking people to shun them will have the opposite effect that PZ wants. I think Iâ€™m on safe ground asserting that the atheist-sceptic community has a higher than normal population of â€˜catsâ€™ or people to whom herding is similarly regarded as our feline friends. Say something is taboo, that group is *wrong* or *evil* and we will zoom over there to join in or see how bad they really are.

--> To live up to my double faced nature I'd say there appear to be nasty vindictive people on the Pharyngula 'internet board' as well. Unfortunately I happen to have more in common with them ideologically! If PZ want's to 'defeat' this place then I reckon he is going about it all wrong and actually dumping petrol on the Slyme fire... Personally I don't think defeat is what I'd want to see, more amicable discussion would be nice. Stephanie is asking for a good argument at the moment, I've posted a horribly disingenuous brown nosing comment there :whistle:

#24456

The current status of the variegated Big Lie, as presented by InSvanity (http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamo ... opponents/):

... the slimepit really turned its attention to me. They did nothing like make an argument.

Except, in point of fact, whenever a supposed Slyme Pitter (and these days they have taken to calling anyone who disagrees with their dogma a Slyme Pitter) posts a meaningful argument, even with links and citations, she ignores it, misrepresents it in rebuttal, dances around its periphery, and usually just insults the commentor and puts them into moderation or outright banning.

They did nothing like trying to understand what I had to say so they could even know where we agreed or disagreed.

2. Because when someone disagrees with her, that means they do not understand her. Duh. And, again, because, in point of fact, whenever someone presents her with a good argument that goes against her belief system and her arrogance, she just throws them into moderation or bans them.

They still havenâ€™t.

3. Because you've banned most of the people who disgaree with you, you intellectual fraud.

It isnâ€™t the point. As far as I can tell, the point is to combine a massive obfuscation campaign with a steady stream of ad hominems.

4. Yes, right, and we are always telling commenters to die in fires, breaks their necks, messing with their employers, and so on and so forth. If Stefunny weren't such an intellectual fraud and liar, she'd post at the Pyt and engage in honest debate. As per the usual with InSvanity, there are no links, no citations, no proof or backing up of her ludicrous, paranoid claims.

This form of trying to stop what Iâ€™m doing without ever giving any good reason or even challenging the reasons I give?

5. Cripes, this gets tiresome. InSvanity deletes, moderates, and bans disagreement whether good bad or ugly. And so Taddah! her false consensus is assured, and her empty claims appear sound.

I like good arguments.

6. Stefunny hates good arguments almost as much as she hates people playing funsies with her name.

I donâ€™t get them nearly often enough.

7. Of course, if she didn't delete, moderate, and ban them, she might get more.

And Prince oolon, that deep digger of bullshit has this to say:

Although I find it interesting they actually claim to think like this, anyone disagreeing on there will quickly find themselves an addition to the members killfile/ignore list.

Man. He just gets worse all the time.

#24460

I posted this at Stefunny's Almost Carbon Detritus, but is, of course, in omderation:

The truth would be more like this:

- Somebody who disagrees with me [Stefunny] comes along, drops a link to a post roughly addressing a position of mine, and tells me he awaits my response. I ignore most of his argument, good or bad, misrepresent and Gish-gallop the rest, then insult him, tell him he just doesn't get it, then delete his post and place him in moderation as a prestep to outright banning.

- I write a post saying that pregnancy is like rape in a lot ways. Then somone who has been both raped, and pregnant, informs me that she does not think they are at all similar, and asks me to not make that claim again. Another commenter says that my claim of pregnancy being like rape is absurd. So I just ignore them both.

- I wrote an angry post about creating sexual harrassment policies at conferences, and lots of commenters here and elsewhere disagreed with my proposed methods of achieving this goal. So I thoroughly misrepresented their disagreement about method as being against having any policies at all, and continue to misrepresent their argument to this day, 'cause it's fun.

- I write a post challenging people to make an argument for Dawkinsâ€™ â€œzero badâ€ comment that doesnâ€™t involve leaving out parts of the story. And when they did, I insulted, deleted, moderated and/or outright banned them while all the while misrepresenting their arguments, 'cause it's fun.

Well, we shall see what we shall see. I realize she will probably use it to twist about and bolster something along the lines of, See! See, no argument; no counter-claims; he doesn't get it. Ban him! Ban the evil man.

Another excellent vid. But I must take issue with your disdain for those women who have a tendency to create those 'women-only safe spaces' when any group of trust-fund lefties get together. You know, when you look at those two guys who confessed to being having paedophile and cannibalistic tendencies on that A+ board, and the simmering, pent-up fury we so often see from such dimbulb luminaries as Julian, Wowbagger and the virgin Ian Brown over at FTB (to name but a few), I reckon those women might just have a point when it comes to finding a safe-space away from your average male SJW.

Some of the footage is already gone lossey compression. I keep it 75% and 25 frames per because although YouTube is getting better at uploading longer, bigger files, I don't want to push my luck. I actually had to break the other long video I did, The Atheism Plus Social Justice Update, into two parts because it simply would not upload. I'm surprised this one did.

Also, on my to do list is a better computer not so subject to crashiness under enormous file loads.

Yeah, they have obviously thought that through. Especially Sasha.

Another excellent vid. But I must take issue with your disdain for those women who have a tendency to create those 'women-only safe spaces' when any group of trust-fund lefties get together. You know, when you look at those two guys who confessed to being having paedophile and cannibalistic tendencies on that A+ board, and the simmering, pent-up fury we so often see from such dimbulb luminaries as Julian, Wowbagger and the virgin Ian Brown over at FTB (to name but a few), I reckon those women might just have a point when it comes to finding a safe-space away from your average male SJW.

The guy was a scrubby homeless guy, but the women were only above him in that they were more the "living in their car" type.

It just sucks that left wing movements, protests and activism will always be infested with these fucking insufferable cunts.

It's just passed moderation. And almost immediately, Thimbledoo is upon it:

@12: I want to personally thank you for illustrating Stephanieâ€™s point so ably. Especially since you failed to fulfill any of the criteria you set out in your first bullet point for what counts as a â€œrebuttalâ€ of her points.

Whenever Thimbledoo goes on the offensive, I can't help but think of it as akin to being molested by a wet lettuce.

And Prince oolon, that deep digger of bullshit has this to say:

Although I find it interesting they actually claim to think like this, anyone disagreeing on there will quickly find themselves an addition to the members killfile/ignore list.
Man. He just gets worse all the time.

Now, now, I'm sure since oolon's stated goal is to just be evenhanded on all sides, he'll no doubt sternly lecture Stephanie about putting every comment opposing her views into *apparently* permanent moderation (when he gets there he can let her know I'm still waiting for my comments to appear from 13 months ago; as are many of us at the Slyme Pit), and he'll no doubt point out her egregious attempt to excuse away Greg Laden's physical threats against Justin Griffith by insinuating that Abbie made a death threat against Greta on her facebook page a year ago, as if that would make a difference about her friend's conduct even if it wasn't a made up load of shit. I only mention this because oolon seems to be fond of saying how we excuse everything away done by "our side", well if that's the case let him lead by example here and put us all to shame by virtue of his fair and impartial character. Any moment now... ...

If I recall correctly the cannibal post was from a woman.

Why bother with Oolon anymore? He lives a nice middle-class life in a nice little village where the locals live in dread of an Asian family moving in in case it lowers the local property prices; he plays tennis; he drinks cider in a quaint pub. His lifestyle is very white and very privileged, but oh bless him, he has concern aplenty for those less priviliged. His wife is probably fucking someone like Rystefyn on the side, too.

Why bother. He's really just your uncle Bob with a nice marque and a large garage, and an appalling taste in pullovers.

It was SimpleFlower before a name-change. Male to Female transexual pre-op.

:shock: Bloody hell! I stand corrected, then. A cannibal woman - somehow, the idea seems wrong on so many levels (not that the idea of a cannibal male is exactly healthy). Still, score one for the A+ crowd on the diversity front, if nothing else. Just a bit too bloody diverse, if you ask me...

#24473

Okay, so the cannibal was a male-to-female transeckshul. I...

...ah, fuck it. It's A+. Inevitably, it just gets weirder the more you dig. Why I am actually surprised?

I dunno. I'm going to have another glass of wine with The_Laughing_Coyote.

I'm losing track of the fuckers. I don't think any of them dare identify as straight CIS Scum or whatever the fuck they call it week. Even boring middle-class daddy's girl Blagpig has to pretend to be bi in order to fit in. Zinnia Jones is one of the more straightforward ones being simply a gay guy who became a transexual lesbian or something.

I went back to see how bad the bad is.

If you look at my original footage of Occupy DC (crowds with cops and the drummers) and photos (such as my green Nemo Losi Storm tent) it's of much better quality, and it's shot with a small Canon A3300 camera. The found footage wouldn't be helped by higher resolution.

Once I get to jet set like 'Becca, I will be able to use 100% my own footage.

Somewhere on the A+ forum, there's someone who likes to have sex with insects. There has to be.

Yeah, poor quality and pixelated footage won't benefit from HR rendering, but it's more about the area of screen that gets covered and the unsuitability of full-screen viewing on large monitors.
