There's a reason I used Thunderfoot as an example, because he's also posted here in the past. And AFAIK, it's never turned into a dick-sucking contest.

I'm just saying if Pitizens who are good at corralling info together are keen, here's someone passing through who could probably help you disseminate some of that stuff.

If anything it's even worse than what PZ did, because Comhcinc has written that we have "proved" a blatantly false accusation, while PZ just reported an allegation as a fact.

We've all been annoyed by Steersman. This isn't a good reason to falsely accuse him of a crime, especially on a social network.
I consider the Pit family. That includes Steers, even though the stuff he's been posting about annoys the living shit out of me. Commie got a lot of love from the Pit during his troubles, which is what family does.

We often go balls to the walls when arguing, but only trolls & shit-stirrers are not welcome here. Tell someone to fuck off (for real), or put them on ignore, if you like. But don't pull dick moves against family.

Agree with Commie here. If anything, since the A+ forum has flatlined and the "lynx" thing just doesn't make sense anymore, maybe we should provide something a little more useful to all new Pitters, you know, like actual links. But we must keep the traditional friendly "hello and fuck off" of course.

Hello and fuck off, Sargon of Akkad.

Using your example I have not seen anyone putting together special packages for him. He shows up for time to time. Some people say hi some people shit on him and everyone goes aboot their business.

The conference was pretty much unknown prior to Dawkins being invited.

Other than TAM (RIP) and CSICON (moribund for now) are there any American skeptic conferences bigger than NECSS?

Thunderfoot's been to the Pit enough to know how shit works. He's also directly involved with the FTB shit so doesn't often need filling in.

People are already joke betting on how long it's going to take Sargon to find this thread and realize how the Pit operates. He's a guy who'll need a bit of catching up.

So it comes down to you think he is special and maybe a little dim and I do not. Frankly I doubt he will not really spend much time here. There is no money to be made here (that isn't a knock I just know he makes his money off of youtube).

But feel free to do something if you think it's needed.

I suspect Oolon's lack of body hair isn't a fashion thing or a medical condition, it's a forensic countermeasure.

I've liked Sargon since before it was cool (check my hipster cred) when he was largely doing historical stuff and before GG exploded. Tfoot IIRC knows Abbie and probably watched the shitstorm that led to the 'pit's creation. Louise Mensch is tough as hell and funny too.
But I don't think we are a group of starstruck teens here, This is the scene of Godfrey Elfwick's nativity. Once you have witnessed the birth of a God nothing else can compare to that experience.
We could probably do with a little primer on how the pit works. But I'm fucked if I can be arsed to make one. I don't have time to keep up as it is anymore, let alone create the digest I planned a few months ago.
By the way we should probably have a method of identifying which of our members are the rapists, which the harassers and who are the misogynists. I'm finding it hard to keep up. We can leave the paedophilia to the SJW's as they seem so 'good' at it.

Com, Steersman is a one of only two or three reliably bad actors I've come across on the Pit, and probably the worst of them; an entirely dishonest piece of shit to be frank. I think we all saw a flash of the depths of his self-hating bitterness when he needled you on the basis of your domestic catastrophe (as it then was).

But I don't think you should leave up a tweet that he's a pedo.

Look, Steersman is a massive dick. His "CleverBot" jig is annoying as hell. He doesn't listen to reason, and his dictionary worship is moronic. We all know that.

But does he deserve to be falsely accused of being a pedophile on a social network? No. Nobody does. Not even PZ Myers or David Futrelle or Oolon.

You've angry at what Steers said? Fine. Call him a cunt, tell him he's a piece of shit. Make an avatar of him as of him as a tiny Hitler. But don't falsely accuse him of a heinous crime in a public place where people theorethically could (probably won't, but could) take that false accusation seriously.

That's a dick move and you know it.

Wow. I bet Harris' really shaking with fear.

As we speak I am contacting my secret network of college students in the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, demented fuckwit. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking banned, Sam. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can expose you to public shame in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my little blog. Not only am I extensively trained in feminism, but I have access to the entire intellectual artillery of Richard Carrier, the peer-reviewed historian and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
:D

Actually, I'd like to see Peez accept an offer. After listening to this Oct 2015 interview with Sam Harris:

[youtube]CYUPr6cH294[/youtube]

...I'm sure Peez would get shellacked in a very entertaining way.

The Sam Harris in that interview is not the unflappable guy with the arched eyebrow. He's someone who's had his fill of bad faith detractors and is NOT going to be derailed with strawmanning. The interviewer seems to be a decent guy, but if he said anything that had a whiff of the sort of spurious distractions Sam has had to deal with, Sam would interrupt and address it right there. If the interviewer didn't like it, Sam would just talk over him. He was pissed off and was going to answer all the charges whether anyone wanted to hear it or not.
Ah yes, the interviewer is Kyle Kulinsky. He's interesting in that he's trying to find a middle ground between Sam Harris and Glenn Greenwald. He's friendly with both apparently. Not sure how he can square the circle of Greenwald's dishonesty when it comes to Islam.

That interview of Sam Harris with Kyle Kulinsky is the one (I think) where Sam Harris says, "Yes, Glenn Greenwald is a regressive leftist but... he's also an asshole!"

You rarely see Harris so pissed. He has that whole meditation, mindfulness thing going. That and the jiu jitsu.

Perhaps Watson should become a convicted fraud herself (instead of just an unindicted Patreon and skeptical community fraud) and server some jailtime.

perhaps then she could push out a worthwhile, well researched show on time every week like Skeptoid remained even while Dunning was being poked in the pokey.

you have to wonder what's keeping her from measuring up to any semblance of responsibility and delivering on promises and contracts and jobs, when some people do it far, far better from jail

But I don't think we are a group of starstruck teens here, This is the scene of Godfrey Elfwick's nativity. Once you have witnessed the birth of a God nothing else can compare to that experience.
We could probably do with a little primer on how the pit works. But I'm fucked if I can be arsed to make one. I don't have time to keep up as it is anymore, let alone create the digest I planned a few months ago.
By the way we should probably have a method of identifying which of our members are the rapists, which the harassers and who are the misogynists. I'm finding it hard to keep up. We can leave the paedophilia to the SJW's as they seem so 'good' at it.

I detect a pit schism brewing - the Akkadians vs the Uber-Menschers.

I think it would be a great idea to provide Sargon some of Ape+ and Gumby's shoops, particularly the ones that highlight PZ's rank hypocrisy. Ones like the Pharyngula comparison of posts comparing PZ's attitudes to Gelato Guy vs Laughing Witch, as well as the Best of Brive. May as well put ammunition into the hands of those with an audience, although there is a risk of signal boosting Pharyngula along with it. Still, I don't believe all publicity is good publicity.

We're telling a generally good bloke he's overstepped the mark - it's what you do; even after he repeatedly tells you he knows, doesn't care, and you can fuck right off off with that.
