  1. From RTG: "...Come on these threads and you can always bet there's a mag making a tit of himself and the fish typing his pointless essays that nobody reads" They're onto you...

  2. Their match threads are awesome though... 1. Before kick off - They're great and can see an easy three points 2. After kick off - Playing positive 3. Other team score - Hate at Short / Moyes / some named player 4. Other team score again - Even more hate. Relegation nailed on. 5. They score - named player the only one who wants / deserves his shirt 6. Game ends - Hate at Short / Moyes / multiple named players 7. 30 more pagers about how amazing their home / away fans are much better than everyone else Then you have their loaded topics such as "Which three teams do you want to be relegated?" or "Who's you most hated team?" which is followed by 3-4 pages of 'FTM' comments or if a mag replies "another one on the ignore list" as if they're collecting for some special merit badge! I only read it so I know that no matter how shitty my day is, I'm not one of them.

  3. The BBC's athletics coverage has been on the wane for ages and it's been particularly painful this time, first the whole #boltdown and Gatlin thing and then way too much editorialising about Semenya's gender, Makwala's illness and the like by athletes (and Gabby Logan ) who seem to think they're medical experts all of a sudden. Eurosport all the way for me now (with the Beeb as backup during the ad breaks) - they're a bit haphazard and get things wrong occasionally but at least they actually show the sport. There've been times watching the BBC over the years when you wouldn't think that some of the field events even existed. The action itself been great though, and I can definitely recommend going to see it live in future, especially if you can get the cheaper tickets they tend to have for certain days/sessions - we've been up in the gods for less than £20 a couple of times this week and the atmosphere and experience were easily as good as last night when we had some £95 (!) tickets that a friend couldn't use - they were trackside just on the first bend, so you got some lovely views of the 400m starting blocks and some burly hammer throwers, but not much else. World Indoors are in Birmingham next year so that could be worth a look.

  4. Pages 4-5 don't seem to say anything of the sort. They make the case for "Possible" non-gender bias reasons behind difficulties in HIRING women. Not, as far as I can see, any statement about women being inferior programmers. In fact, he barely mentions programming, his reasons for why the industry is impenetrable for women seem to be more general workplace issues. As for who he talked to, Molyneux was an odd choice (and I have some wary skepticism there), but Peterson is quite possibly the sanest man alive. He's so much more intelligent than these half baked SJW journalists that it's not even funny. Which is why literally none of them have taken him on. I've listened to loads of Peterson's lectures (remember, he's a tenured psychology Professor at a leading university who has taken on the Canadian justice system and last I checked had them on the ropes) and if that's where Damore got his stuff, then I don't think it discredits it. I know the Guardian has just put up an article claiming he's some kind of ring wing icon (and he is), but that's not by design. He puts forward his views and people agree with them. It doesn't make him wrong.

  5. Unfair dismissal, I would argue. They've sacked him, IMO, because they're in the middle of being sued by 60 women over gender pay discrepencies. Nothing to do with him, but they don't need this PR catastrophe. So they'll have worked out that a $10m settlement will cost them less in the long run. Having read the memo, I don't think they have any case whatsoever. The science has been supported by academics in related fields, and the opinion it offered was constructive. From the Guardian, defamation. They are outright lying about it man. I've never seen it this blatant before...
