2007 Year in Review, and Looking Ahead to 08
December 31st, 2007Bon voyage 2007!!! I’ve noticed that around this time of year all the newspapers and media outlets run out their top-10 lists. For example, according to Time.com the top news story of 2007 was the unrest in Pakistan; the #1 fiction book of ’07 was The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz, […]
It [was] December 22nd…[in some places, anyway]…
December 24th, 2007I am at a loss, as to why this did not go out to the main blog, when I published it a couple of days ago…I’m going to re-post it now. Today is the winter solstice…chosen day of commemoration, for International Boy Love Day. May today be wonderful for all of you, and may you […]
On a Seasonal note…
December 21st, 2007Stood in a store checkout queue yesterday, my attention was naturally caught by a cute boy – luxurious brown hair; soft, creamy skin; enormous blue eyes; maybe 5 or recently-turned 6. His mother, stood in front of me in the queue, was piling groceries (high-fat / high-salt ready meals, but that’s another comment) on the […]
A Short Blurb About B.L.M.W.
December 17th, 2007Greetings This is just a reminder that Boy-love Media Watch (B.L.M.W.) does not seem to be sending out e-mails as in the past or noting stories where comments are required. Still it is important to refute the lies that are a part of the propaganda machine that is fueled through hate and shame. There are […]
“The Persecution Delusion” Delusion (A response to Wikisposure)
December 16th, 2007Nobody likes to be called a bully—and how an individual or a group of people get into a position of power in which they can fill the shoes of “the bully” is a cultural barometer used time and again to evaluate the actions of the great bullies of history—yet we have seen recently the rise […]
Absolutely Bad…
December 9th, 2007“Absolutism breeds elitism and prejudice” – The Infidel Guy (http://www.infidelguy.com/) This quote is so beautifully spot on…and it states so eloquently what is so critically wrong with absolutism. Absolutism in practice disallows anything but broad generalizations about entire groups of people, all activities of a certain style, all mental interpretations and motivations (incentives)… Absolutism is […]
Berlin Court demands proof of copyright-protected works
December 7th, 2007As you can see in http://oma.home.pages.de/1.Beschluss.pdf I did not provide sufficient proof to the judges that my scientific work on Wikipedia was indeed of high enough quality to be copyright-protected. But I celebrate this first defeat as a victory since the case has been accepted and the required proof should be deliverable.
Pseudo “discrediting”
December 1st, 2007“This evidence is, on its own merits, enough to discredit anything Rind et al actually concluded”. (cut/paste http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/2006/09/rind-introduction.html) The original paper can be found here. I cited this blogging post because it encapsulates quite well, one of the basic methods of upholding sacred consensus dogmas; the false claim of active discrediting, where in fact the […]
