IMO, if they wanna be a player in any kind of progressive movement, they need to get a little bit quicker on the banhammer.
Not one of the Skepchicks came and pestered us here at Rationalia. Wossname over at FtB did do a bit of a Leeroy Jenkins and PZ Myers did make some sweepign statements about this place while standing up for his friends.
But Rationalia cannot really take the high ground on that joke issue. I was trying to explain to some people how Rationalia wasn't really all that sexist, rapey and hostile while several posters here were providing evidence to the contrary just for shits and giggles.
Oh, by the way everybody: Using sexist language, stereotypes and tropes to deride someone for allegedly overstating the amount of sexism in a community doesn't fucking work like you think it will.
For someone who found whinging about whingers whingeing surreal you still seem to be whingeing. I'm whingeing about you now. That makes me a fourth dan (judo) whinger! Do I win?
Ps I’m not taking the moral high ground. I’m pointing out the moral failures of those screaming at the tops of their voices that theirs is the one and only moral high ground; and everyone not with them on their self-righteous lofty perch is a scumbag.
And just to remind you dear Robert, they threatened to release personal information. Someone ratted the joke thread to the webhost. They splattered hate all over rationalia and FtB. Someone actually said that rationalia smelled like the rotting corpse of a dead baby! If you like them and approve of what they did/do then say so. Stop trying to spin them into a thing not-so-dark/ludicrous/whiny.
I don’t care if you have posted successfully there. I’m not trying to post there. It’s their forum - their rules. But I don’t like being told by whingeing brats that I’m scum for not being with them.
