Profound, indeed. One might well suppose that male fear of cuckoldry has roots that go even deeper than socialization.

Speaking as the owner of a penis, I have never in my life experienced "fear of cuckoldry". Then again, it could be argued that my socialisation is also less than fully developed....

Looks like the Atheism Plus forum is pretty dead. The last public post was from March 16th of this year. It is possible that they have something going on in their hidden forum sections, but I can't see those.

Tis a pity because they were seriously entertaining.

If you're suffering from A+ withdrawl, I heartily recommend www.the-orbit.net

Not just yet, but they did toss their SurlyRamics out in a recent fit of pique.

I don't get this. It was over two years ago and at that time she apologized and sought clarification on their "issue". Did she not self flagellate enough for their amusement in losing the who's got the least privilege Olympics? Looking at the twitter handles, this bit of weirdness stems from two of the bedlamites from that collection the A+ forums brought us.

I look forward to even greater heights of absurdist ****ery from A+ veterans in the near future.
 
John Michael Greer on 'The Rescue Game' said:
However their presence is arranged, once the Persecutors arrive, the action of the game is stereotyped. The Victims accuse the Persecutors of maltreating them, the Persecutors try to defend themselves, and then the Victims and the Rescuers get to bully the Persecutors into silence, using whatever means are allowed by local law and custom. ...

This phase of the game continues until there are no more Persecutors willing or able to act out their assigned role, or until the audience gets bored and wanders away. At this point the action shifts to the endgame, which is called “Circular Firing Squad.” In this final phase of the game, the need for a steady supply of Persecutors is met by identifying individual Victims or Rescuers as covert Persecutors. Since players thus accused typically try to defend themselves against the accusation, the game can go on as before—the Victims bring their accusations, the newly identified Persecutors defend themselves, and then the Victims and Rescuers get to bully them into silence.

Freethought Blogs update

Most of the best writers at FtB (e.g. Kaveh Mousavi, Chris Hallquist, Dan Fincke, Ed Brayton) went off and joined the Patheos Atheist Channel.

Almost all of the social justice blogs (Almost Diamonds, Ashley Miller, Black Skeptics, Brute Reason, Consider the Tea Cosy, En Tequila Es Verdad, Godlessness in Theory, Greta Christina, Heinous Dealings, Lousy Canuck & Zinnia Jones) packed up and went off to The Orbit.

Ophelia Benson and Maryam Namazie went solo, apparently due to ideological differences with the FtB commentariat.

Richard Carrier also went solo, just last week. I expect his blog will reappear soon at www.RichardCarrier.info though.

More details here.

Atheism Plus update

Atheism Plus was pulled off life support recently, at the request of its children.
