Slimepit

The slimepit was a series of threads on ERV which welcomed a handful of vocal misogynists, confessed trolls, and other lost souls. Slimepit trolls have invaded threads at other sites as well, including Butterflies and Wheels, Pharyngula, Furious Purpose, and Almost Diamonds.

Some commenters regarded as personae non gratae at Pharyngula, preferably with links demonstrating why:

Do we want links to Welch and Nectar's websites? I think the only question relevant to that is: are those links useful for us? I would not keep them up just because Welch and Nectar want them there.

I don't find them terribly useful myself. They're not relevant to Pharyngula at all. I also agree with what Pelamun said/implied below - we ought to pare the list down to trolls who have appeared at Pharyngula. Then link to some of their comments there, or to their dungeon entries if they have those.

Yes, I indeed said so, in the discussion on the admin page, which is now gone. I don't have an opinion regarding their websites, I'd care more about sourcing, from the appropriate thread on Pharyngula, the Slimepit and other blogs.

Yeah. I do think the focus of this page shouldn't be on the introductory text, but on the quotes/links. The vileness just speaks for itself, doesn't need such a long introduction.

well it was you who started the edit war. In a wiki, you usually solve disputes over content by discussing them on the Talkpage
I do think each and every name on the list should be sourced. And the description might be toned down a little bit, because the actions of the Slimepit people in the blogosphere speak for themselves really.

A few quotes should suffice. So are so vile that it would be impossible for any reasonable person to think there is any context from which they could have been taken in which they would be acceptable.

aw, it got locked. Also, love to see the mature, reasoned outlook pharyngulites are known for.
Leading by example, you guys are #WINNING

Dr Mr John "I will use an initial so as there is no doubt I am pretentious arsehole" Welch, Please do not do yourself such a disservice. We have learnt all our underhand, devious, dishonest, conniving tricks from experts such as yourself.
So please, do take credit for us learning from you.

Just to clarify - as the admin who protected this page - it was protected because it was being vandalized repeatedly. While most of the vandalism was just rather stupid, one vandal left racist remarks and what appear to be unfounded criminal accusations. That kind of behavior can't be allowed to stand, and we don't need to be constantly monitoring the page to do rollbacks, so I've locked the page.

By employing my full real name in this multiple libel, you, as well as Paul Zachary Myers, have committed an actionable offence in law. I request that the legal owner of this web-site redacts my name from this list.

Dear Mr Kingsford Gray,
After giving your request the attention it deserves, we invite you to take your complaint and shove up your backside along with a decaying porcupine.
