I find it interesting how they assert that others have no business telling them how to feel, but that it is very common for them to ridicule other people's feelings. I mean, let's assume my feelings were, in fact, hurt (arguendo). Wouldn't that be important? Or, are my feelings just silly things that are worthy of being "dismissed"?

It is, yet another, example, here of how AtheismPlussers are recasting 1950s gender roles into feminist rhetoric. Women have feelings that can be hurt, and need to be handled gingerly. Real men don't, because they are big and strong and ought to be able to handle it. So, if a man has hurt feelings, it's not to be respected -- he's not a real man because he has "hurt fee fees."

My peepee hurts when I weewee because her hoohah was infected with caca. Blah blah. I remember the good ol' days when kindergarteners didn't have access to the interweebs. :cane:

Hey-- Elucidating as this conversation has become, I wouldn't mind a return to something other than baby talk.

I have a baby to talk with. I come here to chat with grown-ups.

I am still puzzling out what that aspire person was talking about. I never indicated that my feelings were hurt, did I? And, then something about you showing me your breasts (which I suspect are spectacular) making me feel like a "real man." Not sure what that was about.

Back to The Trial of Justin Vacula.

He doc dropped Amy whatshername, that is a no no in my book. He did apologize and had the offending comment removed on the Slymepit though it still showed a lack of judgement. You don't take internet drama to meatspace and that is that.

I thought the alleged doc dropping was a reposting of information that Surly Amy already posted publicly on her site. Am I wrong about that? If I'm not, I don't think that's doc dropping, because if someone puts something out there, it's out there.

Then why not just link to it (even this is a bit iffy.) why repost it. especially on a site that they consider (very unfairly I need to add) as the very pits of slime, full of rape apologizes and sexism and hates women, He could have just pointed out that her address is online and there wouldn't have been any sinister overtones. At the very least he left himself open to attack which fully rebounded on him and the very reason he ask for it to be removed/edited, which is very hard to do* on a free speech site like the slymepit.

* By hard I mean frowned on.

That is a separate question. It's a fair question, but a separate one.

First I would like to know if it is accepted that Vacula didn't publish something that was secret or confidential. I.e. was the information publicly available on the interwebz because Surly Amy had posted it herself. That is my understanding. But, I don't want to just assume it. Is it your understanding too?

Now, it may have been a better strategy for him to just link to it, or point out that the information is there, but, you know, if I put my name and address on a website, and then someone who doesn't like me does a screen capture and posts it somewhere else, what is my beef?

In the case of Surly Amy, it was being claimed that Vacula was only counterclaiming against Amy's DMCA takedown request in order to get her address. Vacula then responded to that allegation by linking to an page where Surly Amy disclosed her address herself.

I don't get what the problem is there. That isn't "doc dropping." It seems to me that if Amy is concerned about people knowing her address, she shouldn't make the address public. It would be another thing if he hunted it down and retrieved it from a nonpublic source and publicized it. http://www.justinvacula.com/2012/08/a-c ... y-amy.html

Looks like the case against Justin consists of poor at least one poor PR judgement and unorthodox views on gender relations so far.

Do we have a strong example of Justin being anti-woman?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
