Dawkins sues Josh Timonen

[charlou]

Rude things.

ahh .. that was fun

[charlou]

If Josh actually took the time to answer people's concerns and engage with them - if he had reported any of the posts containing personal insults - if, in fact, he had visited the forum since his single, drive-by post, then of course he should be subject to the same protection as any other member. He hasn't done that here and, to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't done that at RS. All he has done is post a single link to his blog and fuck off again - well whoopdy-doo!

I am not saying that he should be fair game for any and all insults. But that hasn't really happened, has it? All that has occured has been a very understandable outpouring of schadenfreude and speculation with the occasional insult in the mix. No case to answer on the personal attack front as I see it.

Other forums may vary.

it's just a little honest gaming of the system*

what's the problem?






* JT goes around and regs on to fora with FUAs against badmouthing members to limit the scope of those memberships badmouthing him

His other motivation is to perve on your avatar!

Obvious projection is obvious.

It was the fish, I swear!

I regret nothing!

Banned from Ratskep for a cool off period. Think I'll respect that seeing as I'm actually quite calm. Very clever actually, seeing as it allows others to cool off and not be incited by actions such as mine.

Why is anger forbidden?

Rational Skepticism requires selectively picking and choosing which views are allowed and which aren't.

Probably was more to do with calling Timonen a lying cunt and adding that the best part of him trickled down his mother's leg.

Only the one, was only halfway up the caffeine psychosis scale when they got me.

He posted seven times over a two hour period and he gets the full protection of the FUA after all his despicable crap.

Pathetic.

I liked the Full Metal Jacket reference.

Yup, that bit.

Yep. When the method and argument is already well stacked in the other parties favour, the whole debate is framed in a way that you won't be heard by the majority. The only way to have your point heard is to make some noise and not go out quietly. Anyway, to carry on with the film references, it's all very calm again. Medication time...

Reminds me of Oogie Boogie... I think his name is...



Brilliant fucking character design, no?
