PZ accuses Shermer of rape.

[DaveDodo007]

I don't know about anybody else but am finding it hard to be an atheist at the moment. Surely there has to be a god of mischief or some lords of the lulz out there. At the very least there must be a saint of popcorn sellers. The whole 'those that the gods want to destroy they first send mad' is happening on the Internet. I'm just not sure if it is Bachaus(sp) or Loki, I'm just off to sacrifice some goats just to be on the safe side.

[Svartalf]

Don't sacrifice goats to Loki, they are Thor's animal and Laufey's son might do mischief on you, or just send trolls to target you.

That is what he should have done as a reasonable human being. To generate page views and book sales he should have gone about things exactly how he has.

Which is egregiously stupid, as he may end up giving all the book sales and ad income, along with a great deal else, to Shermer in the end.

Fingers crossed.

It's beyond the stupid I thought PZ was capable of.

Maybe he's not greedy for money as much as Good Guy Points?

He's been the ultimate creepy white knight for a while.

I have always thought the white knight manginas were creepy rapy types who were projecting their misogyny on the rest of the male population. I have no evidence to back this up but now hearsay is evidence am just putting it out there.

I was really hoping he'd finally be discredited as the charlatan he is (regardless of the truth of the accusations, the manner in which he proceeded is criminal). His idiot followers post crap about 'webs of trust' and other shit rationalizing their belief in a claim unsubstantiated by evidence in something so serious as an accusation of rape. They're rationalists how? Believing things without evidence sounds an awful lot like religious non-thinking to me. The lot of them are drunk on their own wine and like an unsightly malignant growth, they need to be excised.

I really dislike PZ Meyers, but he's a fraud and his cult of personality is sickening to anyone with a modicum of intellectual integrity.

Sounds like a religion to me...

Some other dude said something like that, can't remember who or when or exactly what, but that certainly proves it.

I'm a little disappointed that he hasn't dropped by to see what we've been saying about him.
No doubt his spies have had a look and reported back.

I don't think any of them care. We're just some backwater and a minor blip in their history.

This thread is #7 on the first page of google search results for "Shermer Rape"

ETA: I'm very disappointed in the response from Shermer thus far. I don't know what he's up to, but he needs to address this. A limp letter from his lawyers isn't going to cut it.

[DaveD]

I see Myers has closed the comments on the thread with the accusations. Unsurprisingly, he's done so with his customary lack of grace:
