It may well be, but again Tar babies. Watson says something stupid deliberately, the regular Watson watchers get all offended and righteous. Or someone says something stupid on twitter and the SJW all get offended and righteous. Quoting some nobody from nowhere's opinion on Rebecca Watson is no more or less than that Dave. Could be some random 12 year old taking the piss.

Fuck me I have forgotten more about science and atheism than she will ever know. Yet she is flown all a round the world to spout her ignorance whilst getting paid for getting pissed.
Sour grapes? How does that actually affect you in any way? Don't get me wrong, she's a "pop culture critic" so I'm happy to pour scorn on
her bullshit, but I'd not give a squirt of piss to the opinions of a nobody from a site which I'm not aware off. That's looking for things to get mad about, which is one of my major complaints about the SJW's.

She has been in the limelight now for two years so what has she done for women's rights or atheism except to divide the issue and turn people against it. I agree that ignoring her would be a better option but mocking her and her supporters are so much fun. Even this wouldn't bother me apart from her attacks on Dawkins (whom she would be nothing without being one of his fleas.)
Precisely. If Dawkins hadn't made his "Dear Muslima" comment I reckon she'd still be waffling and giggling her way through her mostly ignored podcasts. Instead what we got was two years of histrionics, not all from Rebecca Watson either.

The we don't care brigade, well fine prove it then by not posting here, I for one love this shit and I like them being exposed for the wankers they are. I remember when you lot were shitting your pants when P Z Myers came stomping in here, A gobshite who any man could snap his neck without breaking sweat but I can still smell the wet knickers even now. Spare me your both sides are just the same bullshit. It was funny either laugh or fuck off.
First of all it doesn't work like that. If you can't deal with negative responses, use better impulse control and don't post. You decided you wanted others here to read about it. To get heated because they don't share your opinion is EXACTLY just the same bullshit. Secondly I don't recall shitting my pants when Myers was about, in fact I think I called him out directly about his manipulating vulnerable young women for bloghits. There was some discussion here about Pappa's comment, some discussion of the nutjob brigade and further discussions on the increasingly arbitrary and capricious nature of feminist thought within the Atheist networks. To be honest, I don't think may people here frankly gave a squirt of piss about Myers, let alone shit themselves. Mostly I remember mockery.
The place you may be looking for appreciation of such is the Slymepit. They love that stuff, but to me it's little more than a piece of background noise plucked out of the digital ether, that pertains to someone I've heard of, nothing more.
