We were on Salterford Rd, and I jogged around Tooting Common as well. A friend from work and I used to horses at Ham Polo Club in Richmond Park, mostly cantering on bridle paths and across greens. It made me insanely happy. I learned to ride at a school in Epping Forest, so that's perhaps my favorite park in London because I know it the best, but I love Hampstead Heath too. Oftentimes I really miss living in a great city like London, and the UK in general.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote:Used to live just off Ambleside Ave near Tooting Common myself. Can't say I swam in the Lido, but I used to jog around the common quite a bit. Richmond Park was the Park to visit. If only I'd had the readies to live down that way. Tooting Common gave me a bit of a complex because I was always being propositioned by prostitutes. Maybe I'm just creepy looking!BarnOwl wrote:I lived in Tooting for one of the three years I was in London (Clapham/Battersea for the other two). In the summer we'd cycle over to the Tooting Bec Lido for a swim - it is awesome, highly recommended!

That was me remembering something Louis said on one of the conversational threads, Thunderdome, or the other "nice" one. I think it was the "nice" one, I forget what they call it. About 4-5 months ago. It was just an aside from Louis, not a long conversation. I only remember it for the reason I gave. To be fair, he has described his wife as just the person you describe yourself to be, not taking shit from anyone. Apparently she decked a guy in a pub once who grabbed her ass. Anyways.rayshul wrote:Pharyngula isn't intimidating. It is repulsive. :)

I am interested in the anecdote about Louis and his wife and the real estate agent which someone else related. Now I'm basing this entire on the anecdote as it was related, so it may not be a realistic picture of the situation... but this is a perfect example of the kind of people I find horrifying.

I've read so many blog posts by sad womenz who are like, WHY DID THIS MAN NOT LET ME PLAY MAH VIDEO GAME or WHY DID THE MEN NOT LISTEN TO MY IDEAZ. This is shit that NEVER happpens to me, even when I am the youngest person in the room, or the lowest ranked, or the only woman, or the only brown person. BECAUSE if it did happen, I would not accept it. Because I am a person who should be fucking respected and listened to and if someone fails to do it, then THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY MADE A SILLY MISTAKE that MUST BE RECITIFIED.

Here's an interesting thread (hardy har har): http://www.sewforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=64234
Some quotes:
On page 2, "As to the design that is locked in a secret room where membership can not see it, what's the big deal if it isn't available to general membership then it shouldn't be seen as threat or violation of any rules. and if it is is in a secret room how then did you get proof? The only Secret room I know of is on the forum owned by the mods here, kind of like a cave if you will! " (sound familiar?)
On page 5, "The threats can still be seen on the forum. Look under Cajun's heading. See all the posts about when are you going to answer and we will keep this up and so on....those are considered harrassment and threats."
On page 6, "I want for the record to show, that I did receive ONE Warning, I stepped down after that warning, I was still banned 4 days later , I was alos accused of making threats, however I explained that those words were taken out of contex and were not intended to be viewed as a threat. I never recieved an apology for being falsy accussed of something I did not do, and I broke no rules to warrent getting banned. "
On page 7, "Sorry, but the three people that I have seen showing the most disrespect to anyone here on SF ever have posted in this thread. They are remarkable similar in their manerisms. Boodog, jeannine and bubby602004 have been repeatedly nasty and have called people names and have been just about bad as possible. Here in Az we call folks like that p o o p stirrers, they LIKE to see how much ruckus they can raise and not actually step in it themselves.
If SF continues to allow them to say whatever they want, then how on earth can SF ever expect anyone else to be kind and polite in their dealings with others? Seems kind of odd to me that these three are allowed to say whatever their minds come up with without any kind of consequences.
These three give me the heebie jeebies, their behaviour is very creepy if you ask me. Who will they turn on next?"
"Yes, maybe the Administrators and Moderators made some bad judgements. Maybe that comes from being so frustrated from dealing with this same group of people for several years who periodically come on this Forum, place demands on us, threaten lawsuits if we don't comply, send me emails addressed to "Hitler", etc. Many of them have been banned after repeated warnings over the past few years for their rudeness to members of this Forum and Moderators. "
It's not acid per se, but it's pretty much all the same bullshit.

Ophelia Benson, one of the speakers at the upcoming Women in Secularism 2 conference, linking to an article about people who inspire others to commit acts of terror (such as Osama Bin Laden) in a blog post linking the fundraiser to help send me to Women in Secularism 2, wrote, presumably about me and those I associate with, "Josh sent me this link, which is very relevant. It's what these people do -- stochastic terrorism."

I have a post on the subreddit asking a question of the slymepit:
Before I respond myself with my own view, does anyone want to post a response here which I can then repost to him in the subreddit?AnonForSenate wrote: [spoiler]About seven years ago when I was doing my undergrad I was somewhat involved in the Atheist/Skeptic movement. Those were good times to be an atheist. The God Delusion came out, Rational Response Squad had their "denying the holy spirit" campaign and CFI started renting a building in my city.
You could call me someone who kept up with the goings on, read Skeptic Magazine and tried to talk to people about Atheism and Scepticism. It wasn't a big deal it was just what I was doing.
I eventually stopped paying attention to what was going on in Skepticism because there is only so many Sasquatch debunkings you can read in Skeptic or listen to on Skeptoid before you got the jist of it and move on. Also most people I knew were either already atheist, apathetic, or the reasonable kind of religious; eventually banging a hardcore atheist drum started to feel bad.
So it's been sevenish years and I stumbled upon this place: The Slyme Pit.
W T F.
Every thing I read makes me want to tare my hair out. People equating a pass to a woman in an elevator, by the Bad Astronomer Phil Plait, to "potential sexual assault." here the multiple dust-ups between Dawkins and others. Thunderf00t's sniping videos. Etc.. has made me really think "what the fuck did I miss?"
I've always considered skepticism an important tool to carry with you in life. But given how silly and pathetic things have gotten I kinda wonder if it's still okay to call oneself an atheist or a skeptic. I don't want to be associated with non-sense.
Can someone tl;dr the past little while for me? Is this just a case of debunking UFO's becoming boring so now we're all picking a fight for no good reason?
Personally I think I'm, mostly, on this side. I think equality under the law for all people is important and we should be aware and scrutinize our own biases and society's. But the lynchpin that makes knowledge advance is a bare-knuckle brawl in the marketplace of ideas. And if you cry over a T-Shirt I kinda wonder if you're all there in the head.
Anyways, just wondering WTF. And I kinda think that all you nerds let me down : /

Not sure what there is to add. Since I agree with most of it (how it's just a long line of WTF), then it just be a lot of preaching to the choir. To the question of what did you miss? Answer: a lot. And to be quite frank, I was happier before this shit came to light. I will say this, though: if I ever find myself in the situation where I weep loudly over some apparel with words on it, that would be where I'd throw in the towel.ameraw wrote:Before I respond myself with my own view, does anyone want to post a response here which I can then repost to him in the subreddit?

Looks like Greg Laden has been stretching the truth again and has gotten himself in a little bit of hot water. Of course once someone calls him out on it, he responds with "Finally, why is a skeptic defending a science denier? RU one of the rapeapologists and so you must disagree cuz it's me?"!

I will say this, though: if I ever find myself in the situation where I weep loudly over some apparel with words on it, that would be where I'd throw in the towel.ameraw wrote:Before I respond myself with my own view, does anyone want to post a response here which I can then repost to him in the subreddit?
I'm going to keep reading the Slymepit, though. I was beginning to wonder if I was insane. Turns out, not everyone believes in rape culture and the patriarchy after all and thank fuck for that. Hope this shit blows over soon.[/spoiler]

Jan Steen:
Although I'll go one further...these idiots (most of FTB, Skepchicks, A+ supporters) could lie and cry and be the idiots they love being, if they weren't also engaged in a fairly obvious campaign to slander and misrepresent everyone who disagrees with them, and more or less control the conference scene and who gets to speak at them, and who can be employed by secularist organizations. As it stands, their idiocy and hatred is starting to do damage to causes that I have supported for years, and turning it into nothing but a walled off group of idiot utopians who shit on everyone who doesn't share the glorious vision.
The modern internet versions of feminism and social justice activism are nothing short of hate groups filled with the most privileged, spoiled, rage-loving children I can imagine, and used by cynical people to gather up their own privilege and status. It's fucking obscene. But I would still leave them alone, if only they weren't shitting in the fucking living room, then having the nerve to demand praise and power for it.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!Louis didn't get it. He thinks it’s about arguments. No, ultimately it’s not. What bugs us, or makes us laugh, is the lying, the bullying, the slandering, the misrepresentation, the intellectual dishonesty, the flawed scepticism, in short, the cult-like behaviour, that is on display by the likes of PZ Myers, Ophelia Benson, Rebecca Watson and many members of their commentariat. That's what keeps us going.

Incidentally, hornbeck, you silly sod, the topic was not originally about Conlon's tweet and incidentally we have it documented here on the 'pit. But if you only look at one side, you only get the one side.
In order to break a brain, you must first be in posession of one. /zen
Proof how gullible these simpletons are: exhibit #(n)hjhornbeck wrote:I find this sentiment fascinating. The topic was originally a tweet someone made to Benson, and yet here’s someone criticizing Benson for making it all about her.Renee Hendricks Yeah. No pass on this one, Ophelia. You made this horrible incident about you.
That broke my brain a little.

Between this and the recent a+ posts, it sounds like Julian is experiencing some cognitive dissonance. Keep on thinking, Julian. You're almost there.justinvacula wrote:Julian openly dissents on Ophelia's blog:

I never am sure quite what shocks me more.Mzone wrote:Looks like Greg Laden has been stretching the truth again and has gotten himself in a little bit of hot water. Of course once someone calls him out on it, he responds with "Finally, why is a skeptic defending a science denier? RU one of the rapeapologists and so you must disagree cuz it's me?"!
Really is that his response to everyone who thinks he is full of :hankey: ?

How juvenile "adults" can be?
The wonderful and completely undeserved reputations some people have.
The terrible lies (terrible in the obviousness of the lie) these people will tell
The support these folks get from other self-claimed adults
(Or in comparison, how shitty my life is)
Anyway, should Nat Geo cancel out Laden, it will be interesting to see what happens at FTB where other theories floated here are that they want to get Laden back.

Well ,isn't that just a creative acronym? Why didn't they make it SKIN? that would make more sense. I guess they had to slur it out to make it sound more Ebil. Sin=bad. And these people call themselves sceptics? Phah.Pitchguest wrote:ScepticINkMetalogic42 wrote:@justinvacula:

Can't spell Watts' blog right even with the help of a screencap. Can't spell the name of his book right even though he wrote it. Have to hand it to him, you can't make the case for an epic fail better than Laden can. Even though I disagree with most, if not all, of what Watts says, the fact that even he can serve Laden on a platter speaks volumes.
I think Laden's commitment to his stupidity deserves props. A round of applause. :clap:
Sadly, somewhere a village is missing its idiot.

I wonder how distressing it will be to someone like PZ when, in the very near future, 3D printing technology will make gun control legislation as useless as music piracy legislation.Metalogic42 wrote:OMG!

Nor should you. And if you show any tendencies on the contrary in an attempt to influence that decision, we'll take it straight to your superiors. I've had enough of you and your shit. You and EllenBeth both. You do not get to make implicit threats and get away with it.

I've already e-mailed Ron about this. If they want to alienate longtime supporters and major donors of CFI, this is their chance to do so. Side with the blacklisters and henceforth all my moral support and monetary contributions will go to other causes.

Give up, give up, give up! Please, just give - up. I think the atheist/sceptic community would actually become stronger for it. If you're thinking of giving it up, please do. Don't worry. We can pick up the pieces.
