So, PZ is a stone-cold racist.

I've reported this thread. PZ Myers is a member here and as such should not be personally attacked.

I've got no complaints here. For a forum that regards rape threats as a reasonable way to criticize someone, I'm being treated kindly. Relatively.

Citation please.

I find it hard to believe you get any science done with all the time you spend grossly misrepresenting people on the internet.

It's also just more hypocrisy-wallowing. Do carry on.

On the topic of hypocrisy, why are you allowed to make jokes involving rape and murder, and it's totes cool?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Keep the hat.

Also, I'm still wondering where the whole "as a means of suppression" or "silencing tactic" came into it. Yeah, feel free to read that into it if you want, but I definitely didn't say that.

Picture if you will you are in a bar with friends. One of your friends makes a nasty joke about a group of annoying fuckers that is in terrible taste. Some fucking nutbag overhears this and then runs out to his clique to start a hate campaign claiming they've been harrassed and victimised by something they would not even know about if it wasn't for the wheedling little cunt who thought it right to be a tittle tattle just to garner approval from a coterie of neurotic fools.

So then all these annoying twats start turning up at the bar, a bunch of condescending, patronising narcissists who start demanding you and your friends apologise to them. While outside the rest of the herd scream and howl in tears of manufactured emotive outrage and bug everyone they can to let them know too that they and their friends were victimised. One of them even thinks it right to EXPOSE the details of your villified friend. One has to ACTUALLY wonder about that person's and intent motivation for doing so.

Is that fair play? Is it fine if I find Rebecca Watson's name and address and start posting it on hardcore S&M hookup sites? Of course it's not, it's a fucking appalling thing to do. Her ideology is as repugnant as her public persona but I would never, nor do I think anyone here would wish any harm on anyone.

If those girls are so weak and fragile, one has to wonder about the sort of exploitative nature of someone knowing that, who deliberately takes something knowing that they will be hurt and offended by it and then allowing them to be hurt and offended by it for his own satisfaction.

Pappa's joke was in bad taste, really really bad taste but P.Z. Myers is exploiting his authoritorial position to delight in ACTUALLY actively hurting young women, by allowing them to see things he knows will hurt them while pretending to be their friend for popularity as he "exposes" the threats against him.

THAT is misogyny, Shit it's nearly a full Bundy level of misogyny.

A nest of cockroaches isn't filthy and unhygienic. Turning on the light and exposing a nest of cockroaches...now that's evil and disgusting.

There, see. I said the same thing you did, only with more brevity and panache.

Sounds like we have a new name for our forum! Nest of Cockroaches!

We could market a game? Tie-in with Burger King? A line of chocies?

[Bella Fortuna]

Thank you for going out of your way to come impart that important information.

[Twoflower]

You really are clueless aren't you PZ?

IF atheism needed "leaders" we sure as fuck wouldn't need them to be divisive, shit-stirring hypocrites. Go peddle your daytime TV brand of atheism elsewhere.

That's it? PZ - considering you have joked about mass murder in Aurora and Offically Sanctioned male rape in Texas, when you're asked for citations, it is normal to provide them. It is not an excuse to ban people. I know that's what's done at your site, but please provide evidence of either rape threats or the condoning of such.

OK - not the best writing in the world, but my food is ready for dinner and I got distracted. I think the message gets through, though.
