Apparently Setar is out. S/he can't room alone, because...well, patriarchy, I suppose. It seems to be fear, but we all know the real basis of all fears is cis white males. At any rate, Setar has to share a room. Maybe we could get ceepolk there, and they could bunk together. We could bet on which of them comes out alive at the end of the conference. I'd consider going if I knew I could see one of those two (or, *gasp* both) in person.

Two nutters go in, one nutter comes out!

I can see great value in paying them to stay away from all skeptic events.

I shudder to think how they would react to a bunch of us playing Cards Against Humanity in the Del Mar. ;)

Pooping back and forth forever?


Sorry. Could not resist. If you have not played CAH you won't get it.
 
Please tell, how does the post system at the A+ forums work? After how long will I be able to create threads without a moderator approving of it before it appears?
 
Best to ask them. I think they have an I&A thread for that sort of thing. But they'll no doubt have to decide you're not an SP before they let you, so it probably depends on how long you can keep up a veil of social justice insanity. Good luck.

It depends. If you post in the Introduce Yourself section and rack up points* you can get approved fairly quickly. (Hi, I'm so refreshed to have found this ****** place. I'm the only trans asthmatic in my town and so ******* tired of the CIS-abled domination in my community.)

I don't think they're really screening the whole contents of posts, though. If they are, they intentionally let some marginal (as in, "Ceepolk will get you") stuff through for the drama, because they are constantly warning newbs in threads and they could've just as readily not approved the posts. (I almost said, "... handled that by PM", but they don't do PMs).

*Major points:
Trans +25
Bi +15
POC +20
Gay +10
Lesbian +15
Disabled +20
Imaginary Disabled +30 (more if you think of a disorder they haven't thought of yet)
Hate Dawkins +10
Rebecca Rules! +20

It looks like the Aplussers are lacking the required community spirit to actually cough up and send their vigilante component to unleash holy social justice on conference attendees.

4. We could zerg rush any ******** at Skepticon with our horrible ideals of "people are people" and "harassment is bad" if enough of us got to go.

Not so bad a comment when used as a standalone but couple it with a comment made by the same poster today and we have a candidate for "the Aplusser most likely to be shot by a police sniper" category.

I've been baking cookies in the shapes of the penises of all the cis male skeptics. AND EATING THEM FOR PRACTICE.

(this is because we all know you can only be a skeptic with a cis penis and they will no longer have penises once I have eaten them all)

Not only is that last quote one of the creepiest things I've ever read but it also fails to celebrate the fact that nearly 50% of the speakers at Skepticon6 are women.

I suspect these idiots spend most of their time talking about all the things they're going to do, and very little of it actually doing things. Because that would require leaving your basement safe zone and venturing out into Rapeland.

I see. But it is possible to gain enough credence to be able to post without moderator pre-approval of threads, after a while?

Also, could percieved trolling get me into any trouble with my ISP?

Since humanism (judging from their documents) includes atheism and skepticism, the plussers are essentially saying that they are humanists. This is novel how? There are plenty of atheists who are humanists, and there are many humanist organizations worldwide. What purpose does a+ serve?
