Lauds a post suggesting to never mention Anita.
Immediately brings her up in the very next post to say the same thing he's already said thousands of times.


Truly you belong here.

Mist: "I can't tell who's doing a larger disservice to women in the long run, Mattress Girl or Ellen Pao.

Pretty sure it's Mattress Girl though."

I'm genuinely surprised you of all people are so confident she's lying, especially since there is nothing particularly bizarre about her side of the story. It's certainly more logical than the more popular theories trying to portray her as a life-ruining, lying, crazy attention whore.

At the very least I would have expected more of a "we don't know what happened and we'll probably never know" stance, but I guess you can be as susceptible to bandwagon-jumping as the next guy.

Do you even logic? I agreed that all the exaggerated negative attention that Quinn and Sarkie were getting is what made them famous and allowed them to monetize the "controversy". Had they been ignored by people who take issue with them, they would have remained relative nobodies with a fraction of the attention and influence they now have.

I have no reason not to talk about Sarkeesian, because I don't think she's a problem. Plus, I'm not even talking about her, I'm talking about the unproductive reactions to her. I can certainly use her as a prime example of how "mocking and ridiculing" does NOT work to expose your opponent's flaws (it works FANTASTIC at exposing your own, though, as you have repeatedly demonstrated).

You're right, tho, I have said this a thousand times. It just feels really good to say it because I have yet to see one counter-argument presented. Not a single person has been able to show how the anti-Sarkeesies have been anything other than the key to making her a star. Better to just stick to making snarky remarks, right?

Bisi: "It's not GG that made her a hero. It's lazy journalism that made her a hero."

It was the anti-Quinn crowd (unintentionally), by making it VERY easy for "lazy journalism" to be so profitable.

Skanda: "You can't even get a dozen people on a single forum to ignore someone as blatantly stupid as Tanoomba. The entire argument for ignoring the SJWs is a pie in the sky ideal that totally ignores the reality of people."

The reality of people, you say? Funny, I'm able to ignore retarded posters just fine.

Seb: "Somebody alert The Edge! People are making fun of his messiah!

Also, 0% chance Tanoomba doesn't buy into Deepak's bullshit."

Wow. Surprising no one, you completely misinterpreted my posts. I think Deepak is absolutely full of shit, and that he makes a living selling bullshit ideology to the naive. I just think the "WTF is this shit?" reactions to RANDOMLY GENERATED PHRASES were lolworthy.

Do you not realize that to so many of us, Deepak is pretty much the same as Anita. Both are peddling absolute bullshit to naive people and both attempt to wrap up their bullshit with pseudoscience?

On the other hand, Deepak's beliefs don't have any harm. If I have a student that believes in Deepak's bullshit, yeah, they will be wasting their money buying his books. However, they won't be trying to censor anyone. They won't be pushing that an entire entertainment industry gets changed due to their pseudoscientific beliefs. In fact, if I could at a single command convert all of Anita's followers to Deepak's, I would in an instant.

Do you think the best way to fight against the bullshit of Deepak is to ignore him? If so, you let him rant away and convince more and more people that he is in the right. On the other hand, by ridiculing him, you ensure that anyone that openly professes beliefs in line with Deepak will have to pay a price for it. Just like anyone professing a belief that Iran stole MH370 or that Elvis is alive. Why suddenly with Anita though, do you believe that ridicule and opposition only helps her? It just doesn't make sense.

I have Civ 4 but have yet to play it. Despite all the great things I hear about the series, I'm not really drawn to strategy/simulation games.

Cad: "The schools IMO need to basically follow the police here. If you get convicted of a rape on campus (or not on campus, rapist is a rapist), then expel. Otherwise, it's not our business."

Isn't that pretty much what they did?

No they held their own quasi-judicial hearings more than a year before a police report was ever filed.
