| This was posted earlier today at the JREF Forum by some n00b called Robo Sapien, in an attempted response to GeeMack:
Let me be real clear about this: I have no compassion for Anita, UncaYimmy, or you. VFF's BS is a problem, and one that is within the purview of skepticism, but continuing to do what doesn't work is irrational. I am not being critical of past works, I never stated that you shouldn't have done this to begin with. I am critical of the continued use of the same method, which is proven ineffective. I don't claim to know the solution, but my head is clear enough to know futility when I see it.
Here's a linky
This was posted a couple of days ago on Mr Clearhead's own website:
All of this gives a good thinking person plenty of reason to hate this woman. Fortunately, I think with my dick, so I still like her. Look me up next time you're in Florida, baby. We'll get shithammered on Jager and go "woo woo!" all night long.
Link
Let me think . . . how to respond . . .
Oh, I know!

| I wonder if Robo Sapien has already won Anita's trust. | | | |

| This is the "welcome" thread? For a guy who wrote a critical, if somewhat sexist article about VFF? Wow. You guys are AWESOME! You are the most skeptical skeptics in the skeptical history of skeptic skepticism. | | | |

| Thanks, Bookitty, for yet another insightful post. Robo sapien is a liar, admitted troll, and sexist asshole. He is getting the welcome he deserves. Like you, he shoots his mouth off and offers virtually no evidence to back up his assertions. He merely nips at the ankles of those who, because of his own insecurities, intimidate him. Much like you do.
You received your own welcome thread to make your suggestions and offer criticisms, but all you've done is take pot-shots and spew useless, unsupported drivel. You have treated me and others with scorn and contempt. I, quite frankly, am tired of it. If you have nothing else to offer besides personal attacks, I'd rather you go somewhere else for your entertainment.

What? I thought you had a private room for blind agreement and a public forum for discussion of same but with token acceptance of dissent. Silly me.

| Thanks for demonstrating my point, Bookitty. For those who will come into the game late, Bookitty was asked several times to start a thread about her concerns. When she didn't, I started one. It took a while for her to even respond, and I'll let the reader decide the quality of her input. On the JREF there are countless posts where I have asked Bookitty for evidence to back up her assertions, but she has repeatedly ignored them and made comments like the ones you see in this thread. It is becoming difficult to distinguish her from a troll.
As always, Bookitty, you are invited to give your specific criticisms and provide evidence for them. If you have suggestions, make them, and provide your reasoning and preferably some evidence for why you think it will work. It's never too late to start making sense.

Uh, no Bookitty, I don't have a swipe card to the Private Room, but can I say this: I happened to read Robo's blog before he posted his suggestions at the JREF that we should help Anita, or get out of the thread.  It doesn't kind of gel with what he said on his blog. He's a tool, get it? | | | |

| Evidence for what assertions, Jim? The fact that you're boring and aggressive? No evidence needed. It's subjective. You aggressively bore me. Didn't we already cover this? | | | |

He's got a less-than-couth style, true. But why is it better to turn him away entirely on the first day than to hear him out?

| Boring? You sure do spend a lot of time on someone who's boring.
Aggressive? That's cute. How would you classify Anita? Is she more or less aggressive than me?
How about yourself? Are you more or less aggressive? Shall we do a count of personal insults directed towards one another? Shall we look at how many times I've told you to alter your behavior versus you telling me as much?

Sure, knock yourself out, if you think that will help "alter my behavior." Hey, while you're at it why don't you go look up my ISP again. Or maybe you can threaten to reveal private correspondence. Or how about a discussion of your "apology" to shine a little light on things. Maybe, you start another clock on how long it takes me to answer. THEN you can judge my response by how quickly I answer your commands to "explain myself" on your site.
On second thought, you're right. Toss "passive" in front of aggressive. | | | |

| Aggressive: 1. characterized by or tending toward unprovoked offensives, attacks, invasions, or the like; militantly forward or menacing: aggressive acts against a neighboring country. 2. making an all-out effort to win or succeed; competitive: an aggressive basketball player. 3. vigorously energetic, esp. in the use of initiative and forcefulness: an aggressive salesperson. 4. boldly assertive and forward; pushy: an aggressive driver. 5. emphasizing maximum growth and capital gains over quality, security, and income: an aggressive mutual fund.
I looked up your ISP because someone used a sock puppet to post comments on one of my blogs. Several people thought it might be you, so I checked your IP address with several others and concluded that you were not the culprit. Which definition of aggressive applies to that?
I never threatened to reveal anything private about you. What I did was encourage you to share what you told me because I believed it highly relevant to the discussion at hand. You chose not to. Which definition of aggressive applies to that?
I don't get your reference to my apology. Explain and tell me which definition of aggressive applies to that.
As for "commands" I think you are a bit insecure to think that my interaction with you somehow involves commands.

| Since you told other people how nice you were to apologize, why don't you go try to find an apology. The entire sentence. So, you didn't imply that not answering immediately had any bearing on my answer? Seems like even you would have balls enough to cop to that one. That's right, you just mentioned my private correspondence as if it was applicable to the conversation (it wasn't) and did it in such a way as to insinuate something. HUGE difference. Oh wait, and then you DID reveal certain parts of a private correspondence in order to get support for your wounded wittle feelings. Aggressive - subjective. We've covered this. But maybe, just maybe, you've mentioned a couple gazzillion times that you come across as an arrogant bastard, or how about this quote "Yes, I do come across as overbearing."
You are fully aware of how you come across, you sound proud of it. So grow a freaking pair and stop trying to play the misunderstood victim. | | | |
