If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

So is The New York Times an honorary member of the Slymepit?

You know, I would feel some schadenfreude at this Richard Carrier situation, but I'm pretty certain he is working at Burger King, so I can only feel so much.

I was banned from Love Joy Feminism for the sin of saying the Adam Walsh Act exists. So hey, while FTB may be mostly dead, at least idiotic atheists still exist!

I would enjoy it much more if I could bare wading through the crap that spews from his keyboard. The guy can't string together a coherent thought to save his life. I'll just enjoy everyone else's analysis of what he wrote. Lil' Alex is so prolix & obtuse, I haven't the slightest clue what the hell ...

I agree with one of Myers' comments in the string of tweets recently posted here: Mr Schierbecker is not a "kid", (He's >21 yrs old.) Still doesn't mean he should have been treated the way he was.

Well, shit. The opening salvo is just as you'd expect.

Good to see Richard Carrier decide that fake Yelp reviews are felonies. Yes, Richard Carrier thinks prison is an appropriate sentence for fake Yelp reviews.

Man, FTB is dead. They hardly have any new posts, and most of the ones they have are DOA in terms of interest. It's a sad thing, in some respects. Atheists talking about social justice issues can be a great thing. People who have no functional knowledge of social justice issues who write mostly to t...

I don't see that Radford has much of a case. I didn't see anything in the posts that was demonstrably false, and her insulting him is protected by the First Amendment. Of course, there is no lawsuit yet, and probably never will be. It sounds like she is getting money to pay off her credit card.

As I sit taking care of my three black daughters, I feel vindicated. We racist misogynists have finally won!

Why the hate-on for the Appalachian style banjo-playing dude?

PZ Myers gets his feelings hurt, decides to try and get a woman fired. Because he's a feminist!

I'm a little curious as to why the rage blogging crew is mostly silent about Shermer but is still obsessing about Richard Dawkins

And the success rate is? Success rate is a tricky concept in criminal law. For example, an adult charged with rape can receive adult sanctions of 3-10 plus a lifetime order to register as a sex offender every 90 days. Is success a dismissal? Not guilty verdict? Probation? No registration? FYI I rep...

Again, I'm not saying I know all the answers, but given the evidence, questions need to be asked and answered as to how JREF handled this situation. Still hugging tight to that straw man, are you?

Clearly, Randi was told something about Shermer, because he made a statement about Shermer being a "bad boy" and possibly limiting his attendance at the conference. I do not know if this took into account the specific rape allegation. It's certainly very plausible that it did. Possibly it did not. ...

So you believe it's more likely that JREF was told it was a rape and did nothing and Smith continued to socialize pleasantly with Shermer rather than simply that Smith came to believe it was rape much later on.
