Not long ago a lot of people were having a laugh at atheism+ forums over someone stealing virtual hugs, now people are stealing my virtual butthurt and it is not fair.

No, no, not those panties. Take those off and put on that other pair.
You know, the ones that don't bunch up so easily.
Yeah those. Put those on!
Doesn't that feel better? They sure do look a lot more sexy!
YEAHHH!!!!

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."

I don't have a sock at the moment with which I can review the feedback section, but if you review any of my threads you'll see a number of them.

Who?rEvolutionist wrote:It's a phenomenon of power. Even when that power is as pathetic as lording it over anonymous internet users. The fact that reasonable people turn into officious douchebags when give a bit of power is not in the least surprising. What's most annoying about the whole phenomenon is the wannabe sycophants who slobber all over their dear leaders and will countenance no accusations of wrong doing against their lords.
You can't honestly tell me you haven't seen the line up of suckholes just twitching at their keyboards waiting to produce one of the most inane defences of moderators that gets used all over the web - that is, "They don't get paid for this, they volunteer their time"?!?
Well, you're not very good at it.I only see people who complain (like you), and people who either don't give a fuck or just like to take the piss out of the people who complain (like me)
I wouldn't call you a sycophant, although, you've displayed a lack of critical thinking in this regard before.
I'm honestly surprised to see the way you and some others dissect and analyse the ongoing posting styles and histories of so many other members. I don't really pay attention enough to get wrapped up in all that. I post on the threads I post on, and reply to the posts that are there. In MOST cases (with a few notable exceptions) I don't even notice or think too much about who the replies are by and what the backstory is. Notable exceptions being someone like SD just because we happen to inhabit a lot of the same (political) threads, he posts such a truly astounding amount of bollox that is so easy to rip the piss out of, and he has such a persecution complex that makes it impossible not to be aware of his ongoing presence.
But you haven't even posted there in what? Six months, a year? And it's still like these people are all characters in a novel you spend your every waking hour obsessing about.
I also probably don't show what you call "critical thinking" about the painfully dissected minutiae of every mod decision for the very simple reason that I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. I just accept that it's an imperfect situation, and somehow manage not to find it difficult to stay within the FUA. I couldn't give a toss if other people are or aren't, under what conditions they could be defined as doing so or not doing so blah blah blah. If they really want to stay within the FUA, it's just not that difficult - as long you don't have an ego problem the size of Everest riding on every fucking interpretation of it.
And as far as my not being very good at taking the piss is concerned, you may well be right about that. So it's just as well you make it so easy.

Re: Rationalskepiticism,lol.
Oh well in that case it should be easy. It shouldn't take you long at all to find one of the MANY places in that thread where I described the Guardian as "a feminist publication", and link to it for us.Mr.Samsa wrote:Oh don't try to back down now, Beatsong! I gave you every opportunity to back out of that ridiculous claim and you kept hammering it home, over and over and over again.Beatsong wrote:Incidentally Mr Samsa - I was going to let this go once, twice, three times or however many it was. But since your butthurt is clearly so strong that you're not going to let go of the whole thing until it's forcibly extracted from your sphincter:
I never made that assertion.Mr.Samsa wrote:The thread mentioned above is a good example of it!

I'd like to see what that looks like.
Nor that one.and that I was being dishonest by not accepting that all journalists who write for it are feminists.
You're lying.
Unless you're just lying of course. Which you are.

My hopes are that you post coherent comments and try to stay on-topic. I'm a simple girl with simple needs.Surendra Darathy wrote:But... what are your specific complaints?

Oh my, I certainly don't want to be viewed as a liar. So let's review the discussion: you made a claim about what might be considered a mainstream feminist argument and I said that I hadn't actually heard any feminists claim it, and asked if you had any mainstream feminist sources making that argument. You link to the Guardian - so here, at least implicitly, you are citing The Guardian as a mainstream feminist source. I then ask you to clarify your position and you say: "and it could be reasonably be argued that the Guardian itself is as representative a voice as any of mainstream British feminism (whatever that is).".Beatsong wrote: Oh well in that case it should be easy.

Unless you're just lying of course. Which you are.
If you now agree that presenting The Guardian as a source of feminism itself was a mistake on your part then I'll happily accept that.

Which is a million miles from calling it "a feminist publication".Mr.Samsa wrote:"and it could be reasonably be argued that the Guardian itself is as representative a voice as any of mainstream British feminism (whatever that is)."
Unfortunately of course, the nuanced and fairly uncontroversial statement that it did make is not sufficient to resolve your butthurt over the thread. So you need to lie instead.

Oh really, perhaps then you can relate the occasions that any other members have been:Beatsong wrote:Notable exceptions being someone like SD just because we happen to inhabit a lot of the same (political) threads, he posts such a truly astounding amount of bollox that is so easy to rip the piss out of, and he has such a persecution complex that makes it impossible not to be aware of his ongoing presence.
- warned for "incitement to break the FUA"
- warned and given a month off for posting "off-topic"
- "accidentally" given a week-long ban despite only having two active warnings rather than the requisite three
- trolled by a sockpuppet, the creator of which is only given an advisory
- given a warning for using a phrase that has been used on dozens of occasions, including several against them, without sanction
If so, then you can accuse me of a "persecution complex". If not, then you can at least conclude I've been "unlucky", while observing that "luck" doesn't enter the equation where forum moderation is concerned.

Ah sure sure, synonyms don't mean the same thing, just throw some insults around to try to distract from the fact that you fucked up.Beatsong wrote:Which is a million miles from calling it "a feminist publication".Mr.Samsa wrote:"and it could be reasonably be argued that the Guardian itself is as representative a voice as any of mainstream British feminism (whatever that is)."

It's not even a synonym. You just lied, that's all.Mr.Samsa wrote:Ah sure sure, synonyms don't mean the same thing,
Of course if you wanted to avoid all this, you could have just related what I actually said rather than lie about it. But I think we both know why that wouldn't cut it for you.
