Those who have come from Pz's blog, aka THAT thread

Goodness, we've right pissed old Exi off. He's holding forth at PZ's place.

I know where it comes from – anger. Rationalia is a site where real people are abusers and real people are abused. Though I would be against the concept in practice, it somehow feels unjust that there isn’t some grand regulating body like the Independent Broadcasting Authority that will come in and take them down. Thank freedom there is no regulator – except in the case of a collectively-owned site like Rationalia, there is a regulator! It is Rationalia members themselves! But what do they do? They just carry on repeating the abuse, trivialising the protests, ducking and diving and ultimately supporting both the authoritarianism that sexual abuse is solely intended to back up. They’re responsible, every single one of them is equally, personally as responsible as Pappa.

And they know they are – they should damn well stop pretending they are the best thing since sliced bread and reform their stupid website from top to bottom in such a way that allows the protestors as well as the abusers their right of free speech.

Rationalia is not a free and open environment. They have disciplined internal protest and reform in the past. They even took disciplinary action against me for implementing a staff review – something that was 2 years overdue. I knew then that a staff team that had no mechanisms of accountability would become abusive. My conscience is clear. What about the rest of them? They just carry on in their same old way without a single shred of remorse – especially Pappa, the fool – merrily bantering on and now adding to his sexual abusiveness by inviting different methods of personal abusiveness instead.

Some apology that turned out to be! And none of Rationalia have any conscience about it. They haven’t even begun to look at the issue.

Fucking LOL.

Wow.....just.....wow.....

I don't suppose Exi has mentioned to them that he went out of his way to be the biggest troll we've ever had here. And still isn't banned.

Was it he who wanted the place to become an ordered democracy?

I'd mention it and point out PZ's rape joke if I wasn't banned.

Just don't be drinking anything while you do is my advice. I had to wipe down the monitor.

It's amazing how so many evil people can come together all in one place.

Not to mention that we don't ban as a general rule and he never had any "discipline" or "sanction" levied against him.

Soul_biscuit had him confused with the Original Exi, too. That was a bit surreal.

Guess who made a rape joke?

It wasn't a joke, he was equating rape with executions (or murder if you so choose). He's making a parallel. Whether it's a good parallel or not is up to you.

He's using the absurdity (as he sees it) of execution as a criminal punishment and applying it to rape. How is that not a joke? Just picture a "state-represented raper for justice", if you don't see the humour in that...

Didn't someone around here make an absurd rape joke around these parts?

He doesn't consider it a joke, just an argument taken to absurdity.

Without reading his mind, we can't be sure of anything, but to those outside his head it looks an awful lot like a joke. A bad one, kind of like his joke about the Aurora shootings, but a joke nonetheless. If he can't see that the absurdity of it is a form of joke, then that is a bit of a problem for his social interactions, I'd say. Especially when he wants to label others as rape enablers based on a bad joke. Actually, that might explain the whole thing.

It doesn't excuse what a bunch of people see as hypocrisy from both he and his followers over the issue. He really should have thought about what he was saying before he made the absurd comparison. Which is pretty much the same argument he used on people here. To me, that's more of an issue than a silly absurdity (I thought it was mildly amusing, although he left out Official Thief, Official Drug Dealer, and Official Prostitute...although those can be covered under "Congress").

A bunch of evil people, and one bad dude.

The latter being me, obviously.
