Opinion of Memphis

[Joe Republic]

Well he's a FF on everything that doesn't have to do with women...

^  Especially religion.  And I'll admit that I haven't even read any of his posts on women to know what's got everybody so butthurt about him.

It was a shame we didn't get to hang out when he came to town a few weeks ago.

The fact that he has any FF votes at all shows how unbelievably male this forum is.

Chill out, RandomNewbie.  Memphis is otherwise fine.

How about the one I quoted, is that enough for you?

What's the problem there?  Your taking that post and immediately comparing him to Todd Akin is absurd and probably insulting.

So what are we missing here then?  I've seen nothing to indicate a lack of respect for women thus far (I did say I haven't read much on the subject of women here - I tend to avoid those boring flamewars like the plague).  And he only shows the respect for religion and conservatives that they usually deserve, of course.

With all due respect, for a moderator, you certainly don't seem to have seen the generalizations he makes.

What a strange post.  The first half of your sentence had so little relevance to the second.  Anyway, do I need to ask you the same question again?

So... should we add a C to LGBTQQIAAP now?

What's the P? Did I miss out on the new gay thing?

Pansexual?

Guess so!  It's so hard to keep up these days, isn't it?

"What do we want?"
"Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer-Questioning-Intersex-Asexual-Allies-Pansexual-Cisgender Rights!"
"When do we want them?"
"NOW!"

It's catchy.

So, are people not encouraged to point out the obvious any more then?  I mean, we've seen what happens whenever people do that for religious folk and so on, and I guess this is what got memphis his personal lynch mob to start with.  But are we all now to pretend Santa is real just to keep the delusional happy?

I'm sure you know better than this Joe. Don't be an idiot.

What.  The hell.  Are you talking about?

This random unwarranted abuse is becoming harassment.

Actually, the fact that Joe is content to write off anybody who subscribes to notions that don't fit into a strict 'A=A' rationalist Wittgensteinian episteme as 'delusional' and leave it at that is one that he's demonstrated many times.

Haha, what?  Pretentious much?

You know, for someone who rightfully hates it when people try to psychoanalyze him around here, you're certainly happy to dish it out.  What's more, you complain when people criticize your old-fashioned religious beliefs, and you complain when people don't understand your talk about 'cis-genderism'.  It's like one minute you're preaching from the pulpit at some exceedingly dull church; the next you're a giving a Womens' Studies lecture at Berkeley.

The true irony in all this is that memphis and virtually everybody trying to defend him from the lynch mob are all supporters of gay rights.  The actual bigots have remained silent this entire time.  C'est la vie.

I was going to respond to Nathan's reply to my last post here, but I got bored reading it.  Sorry.

[Joe Republic]

Joe, for someone so anti-religion you're surprisingly anti-intellectual.

No, that's not usually true.  When you do observe it however, just consider it a reaction to when armchair philosophers talk about me and over me at the same time.
