Reddit MRA upvote brigade to the rescue! Or, the Battle of the Urban Dictionary Atheism+ Definition

Reddit MRAs, heeding the call to service, once again prove what dedicated activists they are. Check out the upvotes on this baby!

Today Urban Dictionary, tomorrow the world! (Also, check out those tags!)

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Reddit MRAs also wield a mean downvote; see definition numero dos.

Of course, Man Boobzers reign supreme where it really counts: the Rationalization Hamster meme!

Pitchy: Son, my disdain for TAA isn’t pathological. It’s based on his being a shitty person. His being a rape victim doesn’t make him free from any critcism. It doesn’t insulate him from criticism about rape.

No more than it does for Toy Soldier, or any other rape victim.

And your peurile posturing that you need to be allowed to talk bollocks for this to not be, “an echo chamber”, well there is a solution… start your own blog. If you allow the diversity of abuse Dave puts up with, or get the level of educated discourse (and the occaisional bit of cross-talking flamage between the regulars because the have different ideas about how to best address an issue) I’ll be stunned. I’ll even come to your blog and apologise.

It’s pretty plain you don’t have the chops to make any headway here. You will say it’s because we are unwilling to hear the truth.

I say it’s because you are 1: wrong, and 2: piss-poor at persuasive writing.

Which is why you spout this sort of blather:

David: Free, spontaneous discourse?

Nah.

That would be stupid.

I infer from that you are of the, “Everyone has to be allowed to say anything they want” school of troll.

Troll isn’t a word I use often, but I’ve seen your ilk before. what you really want is a pissing contest, and to be able to chortle up your sleeve about how riled you got the place. Being told there are rules, and having those rules be both ungamable, and enforced, ruins things.

And, for all that Dave may have banned you, Lauralot put you in your place.

And now my mental image of Pecunium has expanded to include Chris Evans.

omfg Lauralot, that was awesome. And I’m glad David banned The Son Of The Schtick; the anti-McCreight hate brigade really doesn’t need any more outlets that it already has.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone expend that many words deriding someone for being upset at being masturbated at.

Word.

OMG Lauralot, I’m glad I’d finished my cocoa when I read that! Not least – tucked away in the brilliance – “Dork Knight”. Perfect.

Where are you gonna store all these internets you’re winning? You’ll need another trophy cabinet.

The cock carousel (which as a young woman Lauralot naturally has installed in her apartment) sounds like a good place to display her internets. Since it rotates she can show of them!

@The Kitteh’s Unpaid Help: Much as I wish I could take credit for that one, both “The Dork Knight” and “Well, that was fun, who’s for Chinese?” are lines from the always brilliant Batman: The Animated Series.

Ah! Oh well. It was well used. 🙂

I didn’t know most of the references in you script but it was hilarious anyway, which I think says enough!

lauralot, that was the most awesome thing ever.

By the way, did we find out for sure if Pitchy was a sock of Schticky?

I think David would have said if he was, but it sure did feel like it. Schticky the First was a lot more one-note that Schticky the Second, though: Schticky I’s schtick is harping on Le Journalistic Integrity while Schticky II was growing a major hatebeard for Jen McCreight and atheism+. Dim bulbs just happen to glow alike sometimes.

Whenever I see ‘neckbeard’ or ‘hatebeard’ I’m reminded of a bloke I saw once who literally had a neckbeard. That is, the hair grew out of his throat and stopped at his jawline.

It looked like a giant armpit.

works really hard to get the little details right.

So, definitely not schticky.

You know, it’s actually kind of cool to see the sudden crossover in trollitariat. Slimepitters like Pitchguest on Manboobz? John The Other attacking Freethought Blogs? WORLDS ARE COLLIDING, PEOPLE.

If Pitchguest is representative of your trolls, Justin, you have my sympathies. He was the very definition of tedious.

When I was young, I believed in God because that was what the grown-ups told me. When I started thinking about it I realized that God doesn’t solve the problem of existence. Who created God? It’s an infinite regress. And all the scientific facts about the Universe lead one to the conclusion that the Universe is probably unguided. And so for me atheism is the result of a sceptical/scientific mindset.
The problem with atheism+ is that they are not sceptics. The egalitarian/feminist ideology must be accepted without question. Even legitimate criticism is disallowed. Dissenters are attacked using ad hominem arguments only. It’s immediate intellectual suicide. The’re using the same bad logic as the religious people they despise so much.
That is why I wholeheartedly support the urban dictionary definition. Despite its poor choice of words it is essentially correct. And that is what matters.

Hello David.

My comment on this article seems to be removed. It was very polite, contained no foul language etc. It just presented a dissenting opinion. Am I to conclude you just don’t like dissenting opinions?
Luckily I started a discussion on the Rational Wiki Atheism Plus site, under ‘talk’.
(If that’s still there …)
I also posted the entire thing on an MRA site that tackles what I call the ultimate ad hominem.

Maybe you can take some time to read it, it’s a much more developed argument than the one I presented here.

Thanks in advance!

Hahahaha! Now I’m certain, beyond reasonable doubt, that you just delete comments if they present an opinion that contradicts your own position. How rational is that?
Now I have enough ammunition; The pseudo-rationalists couldn’t defeat me in argument, I can expose the manginas (Yes, I can indulge in vulgarity because you’re going
to delete this again anyway, motherfucker! (And this particular vulgarity has a deep meaning in this context.)) for what they are, and much more!
(Paradoxically maybe for you, it’s main focus is not going to be antifeminism, but free will and the consequences of a science that denies its possibility. I conjecture that this is the one failure of the scientific method, for philosophical reasons.)
