I definitely don't. He at least seems to have a sense of humor even if it's an awful one.

I've gotta find the particularly bad Thunderf00t video. I'm struggling to find it at the moment. It's the one about how all women are fucking stupid... and unlike The Amazing Arsehole he's not even exaggerating.

EDIT: Aha! I found it. This has gotta be the smuggest and most sexist video from an atheist I've ever seen and heard:

Regardless if he is more offensive, there's still something to be said for being soft spoken. TJ is so loud as fuck-- I can barely take 5 minutes of him. Thunderf00t at least has some good sciencey stuff and some debunking vids that are worth watching.

I guess we find different things off-putting. I find the loudness of The Amazing Arsehole more like a natural YouTuber where it seems like every softspoken line from Thunderf00t contains an air of smugness that says "Damn I'm good aren't I? Look how smart I sound! I know science too! I'm better than everyone else! And I'm not even going to try to be funny or gimicky about it."

I guess I actually find loud obnoxious arrogance less annoying than smarmy quiet smug arrogance lol.

I guess we can agree they're both total buttlholes

Furthermore, bouncer is not a high status job anyway, so prob not a loss for either Shell or Thump.

You're just nitpicking in order to skew the stats into favouring the point you are trying to force. A job is a job, it was only an example anyway. Why not mention the many ads that require PA's or secretary which state female only? Had it said male only  I'm sure somehow those would be included in your range of things to point out. But all of a sudden it's "prob not a loss" (just one example of the excuses and selective logic made by both feminists and mra).

Here in America, those ads specifying a gender are generally illegal, unless for some reason the gender is crucial to the job's focus.

As for bouncer, I doubt I could do it. A friend of mine was a bouncer (before we met a few years back) for a long time, and it's a job that calls for both the ability to issue beat-downs (like what we see in the movies) and more importantly, the ability to deescalate a situation so that blows aren't thrown. Now, I can talk a situation down, but in a scrap I don't have much weight to throw around.

Agreed, Hammy.

I've seen him be cool with most other people here, but ever since I first joined he's just been really nasty to me right off the bat for some reason. Besides the obnoxiously dishonest strawmen arguments, hes thrown out some really personal insults my way on a number of occasions. Why in the world would I like someone who talks to me like that?? Lol. It takes quite a bit for me not to like you.

And the saddest part about this is you not getting any Khem in your forum diet, and I definitely enjoy his posts.  Of course few can stick it to you as well as he can and I agree he seems to have something going with you.  You know his wife is a believer, right?  Maybe he is telling you all the things he can't/won't say to her?  That would kind of make you his forum wife.   

But you also have quite a following.  We all just hate to see two of our faves fight.  Like kids in a bad marriage, we're really the victims here.  

Yeah I found out recently his wife is Christian. I was thoroughly surprised considering some of the awful things he's said about me being a Christian, and how he generally treats all the Christians in this forum. Thought it was pretty interesting.

Meh, I don't fight with him anymore. I just finally put him on ignore and my experience here has been much better lol.

As it is your right to ignore. I can not.

Are there people you'd like to have on ignore?

Duh! Me! I'm totally annoying and every paragraph I write is so repetitive that it's just a paraphrasing of the previous one

Obviously! Myself! I happen to be entirely irritating and each section of my posts that I compose is so repetitious that it is only a near clone of the previous section rearranged in my own words

I don't have an issue with your posts lol. It's mainly meanness that I can't stand, and you're not mean.
