I’ve been seeing a lot of eloquent outrage since the CFI board issued its fine fuck you. But I know I’m missing some. If you’ve read and/or written a post expressing your displeasure, or left a comment regarding same, leave me a link. I figure it would be nice to collect all and sundry in a single location. In fact, once collected, I think it would be nice to deliver said linkfest to the CFI Board. They may not wish to listen, but we can show them we’re paying attention, and just what their disdain will cost them in volunteers and donations.
Right. Bring ’em.
I’ve mostly just read posts here and there. And comments replying to specific things, and on places like Facebook where I’m not sure I’d know how to link.
But I did think this post is pretty recent and fairly notable. (But being a local I might be biased.)

Thanks for that! Oustanding – I love seeing orgs live up to their principles. Donated!
*ehem*
Dear CFI…
(I’m always down for more publicity… :D)
That was righteous. Thanks, Nate!
Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask if you’d ever do some tutorials on how to be righteous, because you’re epic at it, and I… could learn a few things… :D
Funniest one yet -> http://www.centerforinquiry.net/oncampus/blog/entry/a_fifth_graders_response_to_the_cfi_boards_statement/
I know these are the ones everybody has already read, but anyway here goes:
Rebecca Watson:
So Much for Center for Inquiry
Ophelia Benson:
Teach the Controversy
Amanda Marcotte:
The Center For Inquiry Likes Atheism’s Cranky White Guy Image, So Screw You Ladies
Greta Christina:
Parsing the Center For Inquiry’s Non-Statement about Ron Lindsay and the Women in Secularism 2 Conference
An Open Letter to the Center for Inquiry, Withdrawing My Participation and Support
I agree with Dana, Nate. Good post!
My comment on
Greta Christina’s blog.
My email to Tom Flynn, Corporate Secreary at CFI (which he courteously replied to, as I asked):
This one is pretty nice and highlights the incoming bullshit reframing of what’s going on.

I’m publicly late to the party, but privately there were letters sent.
Here is my scifi/tabloid take on CFI’s leadership:

Instant classic. :-)
Thank you! Makes my life much easier.
Excellent!
All of those were wonderful, Elly, thanks!
Nicely done!
Excellent!
Bravo! Hilarious and pointy – thank you!
Keep ’em coming, my darlings – you’ve gathered a magnificent collection so far. Dos mas:

Something tells me a broad swath of the skeptic community is a mite peeved at a certain merry band of fucksticks…

Oh! I almost forgot! Hopefully it counts towards what you’re looking for, but I wrote this post called “Theistsplaining (Shut Up and Listen) on the last day of the conference…
Sigh… I wish there was an “edit” function, so I could combine multiple posts into one: http://badskeptic.com/?p=589
The most interesting are the ones from the fringe of the MRA crowd. They just have such a hard time getting it, but even some of them are starting to understand why people got pissed off.
I couldn’t resist adding a clarification to my position.
