It probably won't because at least the satire is stark from the beginning.
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."

Most accusations of serial killing turn out to be true, so I think we should believe this one.

Also the consequences of believing it's true are that fewer people will die.

The consequences of not believing it's true are that more people will die.

Please believe it or do you want more people to die?

Don't forget that PZ and his devotees lack any semblance of what most people refer to as a "sense of humor". I doubt the satire will register with them.

It might get us some direct attention, which I don't care for.

On the other hand, if he does try to make a big deal over it, it would backfire as all non-indoctrinated (the vast majority of the "atheist community" would see the satire. It's not vulnerable to getting stuck out there de-contextualized and being used to misrepresent the forum.

As far as I know, we've handled things quite well as far as when harassment issues have cropped up here. Our meets have pretty damn good gender ratios compared to the wider atheist community. And I'd rather our reputation reflect that.

So, maybe I did betray a bit of overreaction there. A bit of jumpiness.

I don't think it's all that unwarranted though for other reasons beside PZ. There are slick slimey creeps out there after all and they're a pain in the ass for the forum to deal with. They're probably very eager to see it harder for claims of rape and harassment to be believed. They're probably as eager as a lot of people to see PZ have some shit come down on him.

I don't want any of those to see this place as a friendly environment.

I agree Robert. The Whole MRA MGTOW mob seem exactly the same only they blame women for everything rather than men. I think however they're as likely to latch on to this place as the Ape lust contingent. Both sexes have political and cultural issues we still need to iron out. It is not helped by finger pointing at "teh menz" or "teh wimminz".

Ratz might argue, might disagree fundamentally with each other, but with the exception of a few members I think even through heated angry debate there is still a level of respect we have. To me Myers and his coterie of cunts, like Elam and his mob of maladjusted mummy's boys only respect these who agree wholeheartedly with them without question. Which is funny because usually such people inspire contempt in the mainstream and as we can see over the last few years, they have.

You mean like in exactly the same way that PZ Myers sucks the brains out of his victims (that is, by inserting a 1/4" copper tube into their right eye socket and inhaling deeply)?
Because even though I just made that up, he hasn't denied it, and you can't be too careful with copper tubing!

There have been a spate of reactions here in the UK, mostly to the likes of twitter, but also chat sites, where 'bullying' and bating have resulted in legal action of one sort or another. The internet isn't the wild west place it was in the past and one should be a bit more cautious I suspect than in the past too.

I've never been to other sotes that yoy speak of, but hear about them hear of course. I do not wish to visit them as I think from what excerpts I've read that some of them obviously have egos too large to feasibly be taken seriously and they seek some sort of guru status. Such wankerishness is something I don't wish to subject myself to.
