Or are you just hoping to hear a chorus of "nuh uh, no way, you are the best!!!" <br /><br />Is anyone 100% consistent 100% of the time? I think Becca's comment gets at the truth.

This is why I am reluctant to enter the fray, no matter how much fun it may be to tweak noses. I can't keep track of all the noses, much less which ones to tweak. <br /><br />I tried to go back through the posts and the comments and I just don't get it. I fail to see anything hypocritical. Usually I can find something fun in a given blogdrama, but this one leaves me scratching my head. Can't we just go back to calling each other names or making dick jokes? That's much more my element. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-35875720528463859812010-07-06T13:38:07.960-05:002010-07-06T13:38:07.960-05:00ERV spells the difference in the two situations ou...ERV spells the difference in the two situations out well. <br /><br />Having read everything Zuska linked to, I still didn't get that the point of the post was about Greg and yourself Stephanie, until skeptifem spelled it out.

Male blogger is met with derision, non-scientific attacks on his statements, personal attacks on his character. It was a mean-hearted attack on his good-faith post.<br /><br />You think the attack on Male Blogger #1 is wrong.<br /><br /><br />Scenario #2-- Male blogger lies, manipulates comments/statements, personally attacks people, has a vendetta against a female blogger and justifies his obsession and sexist comments with 'one of us is a girl'. No posts were made by this blogger in good faith. It was all a show. People who criticized this blogger originally made good-faith attempts at dialogue.<br /><br />You think an attack on Male Blogger #2 is justified.<br /><br />These two scenarios are polar opposites, thus it is possible to hold two 'contradictory' opinions without being a hypocrite.<br /><br />Also, LOL, Will from Alabama actually admitted he messed up and is sorry, a feat the SciBlog Short-Bus has never managed to do when *they* royally fuck up. LOL. I like Will more than Zuska, LOL!ERVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070086354372691880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-33465664942068567232010-07-06T11:59:27.476-05:002010-07-06T11:59:27.476-05:00Am I being hypocritical in the stances I've ac...<i>Am I being hypocritical in the stances I've actually taken in this (as opposed to those taken by someone in the same thread I've been in?</i><br /><br />Of course you are. TTBOMK you're human. The only way to avoid hypocrisy is to have a totally complete and self-consistent set of beliefs and standards -- which is incompatible with anything resembling a search for truth or self-improvement.<br /><br />I prefer to give you the benefit of the doubt on the "search for truth and self-improvement." So far you haven't given me reason to change my mind.<br /><br /><i>And if I am, where specifically does this hypocrisy lie?</i><br /><br />Damn if I know. I'm sure if I made a project of searching for some I could find it, especially if I charted out all of the possible alternative readings of any ambiguities, colloquialisms, rhetorical shortcuts, sarcasm, etc.D.

Oh, and you show up on other places on SB to insult her. What is so funny about all this is that even after multiple people specifically saying so in the comments, you all insist that the post was about you and YNH rather than accusations of bullying being applied unequally. Zuska and others said so specifically in the comments. It has been explained. Pretending it hasn't so that you can be victims is dishonest. Socque puppet and I are the only ones who had anything to say about stephanie specifically and answered her questions about what we perceived to be hypocritical. <br /><br />There are plenty of people on the never ending thread on pharyngula discussing the whole Salty current debacle who had the exact same perception as I did about stephanie's behavior. I am not some crazy outlier in my opinion on this matter, but nice try.safer midwifery utahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079353091993976425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-59204372514254291162010-07-06T11:05:08.184-05:002010-07-06T11:05:08.184-05:00I can't read these threads any more, or read t...I can't read these threads any more, or read those blogs. I've had enough of it. I can't focus enough on your question Stephanie, about hypocrisy, because I'm too distracted by yet another attack on internet people I respect by certain bloggers with no credibility left. <br />Is it possible to tell someone off for being too mean, and at the same time celebrate ones own meanness? Yes, of course, and it isn't hypocrisy, but simply seeing the world as it is - shades of grey and degrees of severity rather than simple black and white. <br />So I'd rather not read this post in more detail thanks! <br />(sorry - am reposting comment as I deleted first attempt - issues with multiple google accounts on same computer)Circehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646237311802933183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-37529140943299819282010-07-06T10:59:43.780-05:002010-07-06T10:59:43.780-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Circehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646237311802933183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-76234029008539269462010-07-06T10:47:20.675-05:002010-07-06T10:47:20.675-05:00Oh come on girl, you know you're just some soc...Oh come on girl, you know you're just some sock puppet for your husband...

I actually had Facebook friends asking me to not point to Zuska posts again because they were so disgusted with her shit that they did not want to even see her name.<br /><br />Feminists from around the world regret the existence of skeptifem.
