1. So you think you should not be treated like a public toilet and I disagree. [butterfly, flower, smiley]

2.Surely that’s a legitimate difference of opinion over which we can have a polite conversation. [birdie, musical note]

3. *@! no, because:

context
facts
values

analysis
logic

conclusions

4. #FTBullies blabla “*@!” blablabla uncivil blablabla uncharitable blabla tone blablabla rather than engage in civil dialogue!

    ~The inferior Eu:

    o.O Have you been speaking to those Controlling Men that show up on Maury sometimes? Where they put their partners in coffins to show them just what it’s like when they end up killing them? Where they take the Seargant out to scream in their faces about how ridiculous their philosophy is?

    I’ve never talked to them face to face (inc. online). You can link me to them. Although it’d be more like a zoo exhibit for me.

    If I had to guess, I’d say Imogen was responding to a Eu comment in some different thread, but inadvertently posted their response to said comment *here*?

    Thanks, Nate.
    BTW all the entries in the ongoing saga of our sticky friend are also available here. I’m sure we can all agree he has matured a lot since he got struck by cognitive dissonance back in autumn 😉

    Jay Smooth’s video is particularly good and particularly relates to the skepchik post.

    Amusing, but of course this is a blatantly biased portrayal.
    Panel 3 makes no mention of a ‘porcupine’.

    [or is it ‘pineapple’? I forget.]

    Amusing, but of course this is a blatantly biased portrayal.
    Panel 3 makes no mention of a ‘porcupine’.

    Shouldn’t that be a new panel–Panel 5? After they disregard almost everything said and focus on trivial things like insults or tone?
