Apparently, asking why threats weren't reported to the police is 'victim blaming.' Apparently, women who are recipients of "literal threats of rape and murder" should just be passive and not report threats to authorities? Asking why "literal threats of rape and murder" are not reported to police is a damn good question. Wouldn't we expect this if these "literal threats of rape and murder" were so prevalent and such a problem that men from the skeptical/atheist communities are being asked to take a stand against it? Apparently, the police just shouldn't get involved and we should just write strongly-worded letters expressive disapproval...because that's the way to change things.

Just for the fun of it, I thought I'd postsome of the pearls of wisdom that are raining down in Steffunny's latest post where she tries ever-so-hard to prove just exactly how stupid she really is (http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamo ... education/)

Stefunny said:
Convincing people does happen. It may even happen sometimes in online spaces where everyone is very nice and refrains from any naming and shaming in conversation. I don’t know. I see very few of those places. Though they’re often touted as the ideal, they are far more rare than they think they are. The ones I do see have a far more restricted commentariat than we get around these parts.
My emphasis. Round and round and round we go....

stakkalee said:
The ability to intellectualize an argument is another form of privilege. I wish more people would realize that.
Smeh?

TidyBowl said:
Ethos, pathos and logos. Without all three, your argument is hamstrung by design.
In my opinion, the day that TidyBowl actually understands principals of rhetoric is the day the world ends.

smhll said:
The crucial “privilege” that comes into play when discussing social justice issues is the privilege of not being in pain right at the the very beginning of the discussion.
Huh?

ischemgeek said:
All that aside, it’s still his space and it’s his right to create the environment he desires. I do not take issue with his attempt to build the environment he wants at all. I just worry that the environment he says he desires (one that is safe, civil and respectful) and the environment he’s creating (one that feels emotionally repressive on issues are charged by their very nature) are two different things.
LOL.

Improbable Joe said:
Strictly policing the use of heated emotional language used in discussing human social interactions is dehumanizing, in that it treats the discussion like some sort of abstract philosophical word game with little actual meaning. By contrast, the use of emotional language including insults, including calling people assholes, is ultimately humanizing. It says “I am a person, and you’re a person, and you’re being a bad person by hurting me, by minimizing me, by attacking me or trying to muzzle me.” Especially for people who are marginalized by society, it is important to be able to stand up and call out people when they are being assholes.

Someone somewhere - I forget which post mentioned it, sorry - said that there were two FftB parody sites. I know the Freethoughtblahgs one. Maybe this is the other one. They've been doing a grand parody of a real site that we just can't see. The whole thing is one huge poe!

And yet, for all their protests, the very people demanding the right to use the word 'asshole' are quite clearly very capable of being assholes without actually having to use such coarse language to demonstrate it.

It gets worse. She also describes Orwell's fictional works as:
... interesting, but they’re not good. (I would say the same about Aldous Huxley. I frequently try to read him again, and always fail, because the writing is so crude.)
Mindlessness is rampant.

Nonsense. She clearly realized he was writing non-fiction and not fiction. It's all so clear.

It was hard to pick one, but that has to be my favourite. The ability to know what you're talking about is cheating, because it gives you an advantage over those who don't. Is this a Poe? Is stakkalee a Pit Crew member in disguise, because this is so close to a piss-take I'm not sure I could spot the difference.

First day of gross anatomy lab, and one of the students accidentally unleashed a tidal wave of tank fluid on my scrubs by lowering the cadaver tray into the tank too quickly. Every year. It happens every year. I stank so much that the little dogs wanted nothing to do with me until I'd showered and changed clothes.

So dammit I need to laugh and rant at some FfTB stupidity. Here's another "pearl" of disingenuousness from Stefunny's post:
It’s going to be accompanied by a lot of work to change the world more quickly, though. I won’t be leisurely about that. I won’t be unemotional. I won’t hide what it costs me. I will weigh the relative merits of being inclusive and getting things done for any given action as I go.

And nobody gets to tell me that I should stop doing any of that in order to focus on educating the leisure class.
News flash: You are part of the leisured class ... you and all your FfTBuddies who fly all over the planet to attend meetings that serve primarily to provide you with more blog and Twitter fodder. It's not work. You're not working, and your only social justice "activism" is completely self-serving. It's not the fucking Arab Spring. You're not in any danger. You're not even experiencing any discomfort, as far as I can tell. Lying sanctimonious liars. Fuck off.

The general philosophy these idiots seem to espousing, or at lest moving towards, is very much the paranoid (non-clinical, as is made clear if you read the books) mindset described by Richard Hofstadter in The Paranoid Style in American Politics, in which he describes the Goldwater movement of the early '60s.

The anti-elitism is beginning to burgeon.

If nothing else, then this one opinion serves to show what an utter moron Ophelia Benson is. Sure, she doesn't have to like any of Orwell's novels, but given the esteem and influence of these novels - in particular Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four - over his essays (though I admit, The Road to Wigan Pier is a standout as an essay, especially in the bleak humour of his description of life in the Brookers' lodging house), she is very, very much mistaken in her assertion that he was a better essayist than novelist.

Interestingly, the 'puritan-progressive' types who tend to latch on to the left wing - such as Ophelia, for instance - were busy in Orwell's time, too. So the FC5(6) sort are nothing new. In fact, they're quite quaint*, really. Orwell contemptuously referred to such people as 'bearded fruit-juice drinkers'.

*'quaint' has interesting etymological roots. It was synonymous with 'vulva' in the fourtheenth century. Hence the phonetic similarity to...

So now she's a literary critic?

Keep the Aspidistra Flying? The Clergyman's Daughter? Two of my favourite novels. As for Gore Vidal, Benson could learn a few things from The Messiah.

I shudder to imagine what she might think of Wells.

Well, to be fair, the proles read Orwell and Huxley. In public school, even. Which means it is far too pedestrian for real intellectuals to take seriously.

That "everything is already documented" argument frequently used by the Baboons and Skepchicks is very much a copy of the trick religious people use when they say "well, until you've read the Bible from front to cover, you atheist has no argument".

It was recently said that firing him was enough.

Funny, that is...when DJ Grothe's comments warrant blog posts for weeks, but an actual documented threat/violent letter doesn't even warrant one from -- and correct me if I am wrong -- PZ, Ophelia, Zvan, or Jason.

If anyone is wondering about Mabus/xjustos being banninated (since he no longer appears as the latest member), I've just forced reactivation for him, not banned him.

There's no reason why I should make it easy for him to spew his shite all over here...

Nonsense mitigation -

If killing smilies is not sufficient, you can kill BBCode altogether - which is becoming more tempting given that multimedia has stopped being a post enhancement tool and become a mud pie play pit for toddlers that have never seen such MightyTechnology.

Hey Franc, do not hold back, you should let us know what you really feel. Now I admit that a certain flashing graphic might have given me a headache, but I have no objection to smilies. None at all.

I may even use them from time to time myself. Muahahaha!

thank you, and now more than ever if anyone does not detect my sarcasm without a fucking flashing explanation, I don't bloody care.
Another lovely tool to add to FireFix is Nuke Anything Enhanced.

A simple right-click on anything in your browser's window, and blammo--it's gone. A nice way to get rid of individual items, but you'd rather not block the entire server/domain for.

Also take a look at NoScript ...

Try Nuke Anything, an add-on for FireFox

Also, look at NoScript, another add-on.

'Tis true. Everyone knows the best way to add nuance to your writings is LOLCats.

Also, hitting Esc will freeze all animated GIFs on a page (until it's reloaded).
