Just a little mind map I knocked up to visualise the motivations of the various players in the baboon kingdom. To be periodically updated. Inspired by The Political Compass.

I think you pretty much nailed it, with the exception of PZ. On the modus operandi scale, I’d rate him more of the calculating type – at least more so than Brayton & Sulky. He seems more in the Adam Lee zone.

Agreed.

I thought about that pretty hard and I tend to disagree. He flies off the handle way to easily and allows himself to be led around by the balls too readily. He may think he’s calculating – but he’s not. He’s just a puppet with Watson’s hand up his ass. And with a painfully unrelieved boner.

Today on the Baboon Board: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2013/04/10/i-had-a-vision-last-night-a-vision-of-a-world-without-gods/
This has got to be some kind of irony record:
“the final straw was DJ Grothe, who, in replying to someone who said they wanted him to pay as much attention to atheist issues as he does gay issues (a point I definitely strongly disagree with: no one gets to dictate what matters to someone else), made the statement that gay concerns are very, very different than atheist concerns, and we shouldn’t conflate the two. Again, a point I agree with 100%.”
-PZ Myers
No one gets to dictate what matters… except Richard Carrier, Myers, et all. As in, whiny feminist lunatic “issues” are atheist issues of tantamount importance and all atheists in the universe must make sure none of these precious flowers ever feel the slightest discomfort or inconvenience ever again, and to make sure they are given positions of power without having to actually work to earn them. Otherwise you will be disowned and you will be a misogynist and a rapist.
Did I miss anything?

Just posted on this as “caveman73” I am sure the baboons will be all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake.

This is just too fucking rich –
We could question EVERYTHING.
Except Becky’s sacred gospels of oppression and patriarchy. Criticism is to be treated like muhammed cartoons.
And the icing –
Puritans wouldn’t be dictating our sexual relationships.
Bet the short fat prick said that with his very best straight face. On FfTB, the home of secular neo-Calvinism.
