Stripping away the last flimsy disguise of what a noxious abomination freefromthoughtblogs actually is. This is entirely the baby of PZ Myers – he’s whipped his baboons into a blood lust frenzy much like Manson did his “family” at Spahn Ranch. The Naked One will, of course, deny any culpability, perched atop his empire’s throne. In pure legalese technical terms, his denials of this fact would probably hold ground – this is a master deceiver who’s every utterance is a lie, a smear or a manipulation after all. He lives and breathes falsehood – it is his business model. But this is only the latest personal attack he has incited from his subnormal FfTB horde – and it won’t be the last. Each time you think they’ve scraped the bottom of the barrel, they punch it out and lurch to some new excess. Sooner or later, someone will get hurt. And when that happens, Myers will be held accountable.
I am ashamed to be an atheist.

Accountability? You, sir, are wildly optimistic. Since when have purveyors of broadcast hatred been held responsible when their followers explode into violence?

It pisses me off that he ceded the high ground when he posted her address. I’m sympathetic to his viewpoint, and what they’re doing in retaliation is way over the top. Just would make defending him much easier if he hadn’t done it.

Yeah, yeah I hear you. But, he merely dug up her own advertising via google. If SulkyAmy wants to advertise her sheltered workshop trinkets, maybe she should consider a PO box if she has a problem with this. What Vacula did is absolute trivia in comparison to DMCAing to censor criticism or writing to people’s employers to get them fired.

The Babboon King telling all those dissenters what their position is:
Watson is dogmatically dedicated to unproven ideas like “rape is bad” and “blacks should be allowed to vote”. That’s not what skepticism is about! Skepticism is about making me feel super smrt for not believing in Bigfoot! How can I feel smrt around a girl?!?! Her withering glare makes my penis feel even smaller than its two inches.
Strawmen and schoolyard insults. The king of rationality and freethought.

Here’s the post: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/09/03/two-pointless-petitions/
He linked to a petition to get Watson removed from SGU and one to keep her on. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if it blew up in his face and the one to remove her got more votes? Never happen of course. His flock unfortunately outnumber us true rationalists.

Does it? In terms of noise, perhaps. Grim reality is different I think. Minority ideological ghetto.

I swore I would stop visiting FTB but couldn’t resist your link. They’re hopeless. They’ve not only lost the ability to reason, but the ability to comprehend basic English. It’s awe-inspiring.

“Does it? In terms of noise, perhaps. Grim reality is different I think. Minority ideological ghetto.”
If they’re a vocal minority then why does their support petition far and away outstrip the other? Could it be that like atheists are heavily outnumbered by believers, fully reasoning atheists may be heavily outnumbered by those who selectively apportion their reasoning and don’t apply it to their sacred cows?

I, I dare say like others, am cowardly enough to not sign the petition because of fear of harassment from baboons. (Well, partially. The other part of the equation is that I hate signing up for shit. I have enough logins to keep track of as it is; N.B. it’s not the passwords that concern me but the possibility of personal information getting sold because I haven’t been able to keep up with whatever-site-I-had-to-sign-up-for’s privacy policy.)
Whereas the baboons couldn’t care less about getting harassed by baboons because they tow the party line, and as such they’re unlikely feel skittish about putting personal information at risk.

I admire Myers for his deliberate ability to maintain semi-plausible deniability through (or via) grammatical prestidigitation.
That takes either skill, or cunning.

He just keeps going and going. More bullshit. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/09/04/the-anti-atheist-boobs-on-twitter/
He says it’s “op-in”. Of course, he makes no mention of what happens to those who refuse to join their little club, or speak out against it. Thunderf00t (banned and they suggest stealing his money), Justin Vacula (trying to get him fired), etc. Either because he wants to portray his side as the good side, or he really is clueless. Maybe a mix of the two.
And BTW, Jen McCreight has taken her ball and gone home. She just couldn’t handle not being in a little bubble where nobody challenges her or asks any questions.

Oh yeah, don’t know if you’ve heard yet but Jen McCreight took her ball and went home.

How so? Where?

Do you want the most ridiculous version? I’ll assume yes –

Once again, your prescient powers of prediction never cease to amaze me, sir. Michael Shermer should have heeded your warnings.
