Men’s Rights Redditor Advocates Violence Against Cops — Again
Advocating violence is allegedly against the rules in the Men’s Rights subreddit. Just don’t tell it to these guys! (Or the people upvoting them.)
As I’ve noted before, Demonspawn is fairly regular violator of this particular rule — as evidenced here, here, and, oh yeah, here. (And check the archives for even more Demonspawn terribleness that stops short of advocacy of murder.)
When I asked the r/mensrights mods some months back why they didn’t just ban him for his repeated violations, you may recall, this happened:
Hey, Mens Rightsers, if you don’t want to be associated with violence, perhaps you should, you know, disassociate yourself from those who advocate violence — seriously, repeatedly, and definitely not as a joke.

I still pine for a vegan restaurant to cater to omnivores. *wails*
damselindetech: They do, what they don’t do is cater to carnivores.
I think it’s outrageous that bookshops don’t repair sewing machines! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
kitteh — because very few books are bound with stitches these days
pecunium — I lol’ed (and if you’re ever in Pittsburgh, try the Zenith’s Sunday morning brunch — delicious vegan food made by hippies)
Argenti: that’s because we live in a more perfect world now.
If you’re referring to books, I’m a little upset that Emilie Autumn’s is full glossy pages, it still doesn’t smell like a proper book (and I’m really wary what I’ll think when I finally get to open my iPad). I mean, I see your point about mass production of literature and the correlation to literacy rates, but sometimes you just want a book that smells like a book *sniffs the Hobbit*
Yeah, I’m weird, but you knew that
Thinks: must check those ridiculously expensive commercial shipping reference books at work tomorrow. For that money I’d want stitching!
Speaking of books and their odours, I had one once that stank like … gah, some sort of bad cheese or something. It reeked. I’m presuming it was the glue. I ended up turfing it. No loss, it was a horrible thing to read anyway - a Freudian with an empathy fail writing 17th century biography ::shudder:: .
Thankfully I’ve never had a book that smelt bad, and for the cost of reference books you don’t want stitching, it’s far more fragile.
Curious - I’ve never had stitched books fall to bits, but glued ones, plenty.
Dinner, be back soon!
Well, my books only fall apart when I abuse them, so it doesn’t happen much (and it’s always the cheapest ones, thankfully)
Enjoy dinner!
Argenti: Books that aren’t stitched are, “perfect bound” (why yes, my family has owned a bookstore since 1984)
“why yes, my family has owned a bookstore since 1984″ — some part of my brain is going “you knew that dummy”
Why then is it that perfect bound book sometimes decide to spit out whole glued sections? I mean, I’ve only had this happen when I break the spine at the beginning/end of one such section, but still, doesn’t seem terribly “perfect” to me! (Or is this more perfect as in “Latin has a plu-perfect tense”?)
Or imperfect bound when the pages fall out!
I’m really curious to have a look at the making of the commercial shipping books now. We’re talking $450 a hit here.
Ninja’d!
I should go back to my ninja avatar, then you’d have been ninja’ed by a ninja
‘Cept I like being the Cheshire Cat.
Ninjas squared!
I really like the kitty avatars, though I always got yours and Dracula’s mixed up. Mine’s Miss Mads with her smug face on.
Smug kitteh is most kittehs…and where is Dracula these days anyways?
True about the kittehs!
I don’t know where Dracula is, he hasn’t been on site for ages.
Maybe he’s like beetlejuice -
Dracula! Dracula! Dracula! *sits and waits*
Well that burned off a coupla calories - chasing “catch me if you can” cat.
Hi, Tony! I knew that the MRM would end up melding with Timecube eventually.
I just Googled Timecube. The RationalWiki article on it is priceless, especially the Crackpot Overdose section. Defnitely an MRM parallel!
I…what….o.O?!? *hed esplodes*
Just when you think you’ve heard every illogical theory out there, someone comes along and makes a timecube. (Oh gods, I am so saving that line, it’s too perfect…right up there with my brother’s “every time I walk in the room you have the microwave set on high!”)
Microwave set on high? Whut?
I don’t know if my duct tape can take tha…
::clunk::
Lol, I have no idea where he got it from, but it’s his favorite thing to say when my father and I are screaming at each other (well, raised voice on my part, when I scream everyone within a hundred yards can hear it)
LOL well it kind of makes sense as a metaphor!
Uncyclopedia did a decent parody. Needs more blinking gifs, though.

Whoot! I haz a happy. Got a diary entry and its illustration done and posted!
Niters all!
‘night! (Oh look, I’m nocturnal again >.<)
They are “perfect” because the signatures are flush to the spine, where as in “standard” bindings the folding of the signatures leads to a ragged edge.
Sadly the ragged edge doesn’t mean the signatures are well bound; since most are glued these days.
The reason the spines break is the tension between a flexible glue, and one which will retain the pages. If one has single sheets (as opposed to signatures) it’s even harder. Al in all, from a durability POV, the best binding is archival paper with stitched signatures and a flush edged trim, and coverboard which is almost flush to the bottom edge of the spine.
TimeCube was my first no-training-wheels experience in Do These Internetters Be Sincere Or Take They The Piss? because I was linked to the site itself sometime in 2002, and then I found a forum full of Cubers.
I came down on Take They The Piss, but I was a bit upset because it seemed like it would be encouraging Gene Ray, the Time Cube genius, who has always seemed sincere to me.
Oh, and I’ve had more trouble with perfect-bound role-playing books losing their cover lamination than with signatures falling out, although the first printing of GURPS Basic, Fourth Edition, lost all kinds of pages because the glue was poor.
pecunium, you might be the only person on this list who would enjoy the “quire maps” we recently received for some Ethiopian religious manuscripts. I can appreciate the gorgeous illuminations, though. I also wanted to ask you if you’d ever made a pouding chômeur, because I mentioned another obscure dessert once and you had made that one.
@Argenti
It’s definitely good to be missed
Also, I have yet to find a Men’s Rights organization that is truly for men
So how does one lawfully violate a man’s Constitutional rights? Just asking …
I think I’m just going to pretend all MRAs are Lucille Bluth from now on. Here is how an MRA would answer your question.
I’m playing the world’s tiniest violin for the men who complain about paying a bit of child support while the mothers are taking on the more than full time job of raising the children AND usually paying more than half of the expenses, as child support tends to not even cover the man’s fair share of the expenses.
Bawww, if you skirt the law for months and months and months and hide your assets and lie to judges over PAYING FOR SOMETHING YOU’RE HALF RESPONSIBLE FOR you might get some jail time. Meanwhile, if a mother refuses to provide for her children she’ll be convicted of neglect/child abuse/murder.
Stop appropriating the real fucking phenomenon that was indentured servitude/slavery, which was imposed upon people based on the color of their skin, not a choice they made to participate in an activity that gave them pleasure. GDI, this is sickeningly selfish an pathetic.
Don’t you remember that free lecture we got from that preeminent legal scholar? Just because something isn’t Constitutional, remember, that doesn’t mean it is illegal. The argument was well-supported with citations from Landover Baptist, as I recall.
/SARCASM … cigarette?
