Sterlington Collection

The British Historic Society is a name trademarked in November 2010 by TELEbrands, which is used to project authenticity onto a sale of "replica" rings done in a design of the ring given to Catherine Middleton by Prince William. The same ring was also given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles for their engagement. The ads have since been updated to use the less authentic sounding Sterlington Collection, likely to avoid potential lawsuit for false advertising, or fraud.
The "replicas" were originally purported by the sale's page to be composed of a "simulated sapphire", "synthetic diamonds"apparently, this refers to and "layered in sterling silver". However, the site has since been updated, and the "replicas" are now purported to be composed of a "Faux Ceylon Sapphire", fourteen "Diamond-x4 Cubic Zirconiums [sic]""Zirconium" has the plural "Zirconia", and "Finished Sterling Silver Plate".
The purported seal for the British Historic Society uses the seal of the royal court of arms for the Kingdom of Great Britain during the years 1707-1714, and the faux Roman numerals "XIXVIXIMMX" in a position that would suggest an establishment date. Since updating the ad the seal only replaces the title of the "Society" to the Sterlington Collection, and uses the slightly less wrong Roman numerals "XIXVIMMX".
The original deceptive name and insignia being used by by TELEbrands suggested a deceptive sales pitch to prey upon the emotional heartstrings of people and their memories of Princess Diana, and the popularity of the British royal family even in the USA. Having since changed the name, they are being less deceptive, but are still selling what is essentially overpriced costume jewelry...

Steve Drain

Steve Drain is an American filmmaker,http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0236831/?ref_=tt_ov_dr former skeptic, and Supreme Leader an important figure on the eight man board of elders which has ruled the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) since the excommunication death of founder Fred Phelps and the coup against his daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper truth of women's inferiority which showed him his calling.
==Joining the Westboro Baptist Church==
While he used to be quite liberal, his time shooting a documentary on the group called Hatemongers (title changed to Fred: The Movie by IMDb trolls)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439575/ led to him and his family being the only members with no blood or marital relations to the Phelps to join up.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMbfQ117Jtshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T_ok0MaLSQ His previous career has also greatly aided the Phelps family's video production and song parodies.
Drain's now little more than a vessel for his mentor's hateful views, only slightly worse in every way.
==Overthrow of Shirley Phelps-Roper==
With her father growing ever more decrepit, Shirley Phelps-Roper was the de facto leader of the WBC for many years, and looked to be the one to take over in the event of her father's death. Steve Drain was the main figure in putting a stop to this by consolidating power behind Phelps-Roper's back, and emphasizing women's inferiority as a new tenet of the group.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/03/24/this-man-is-the-future-of-westboro-baptist-church.html Reverend Phelps, in one of the few decent acts he's ever done in his pathetic life, tried to put a stop to this by emphasizing familial harmony and kindness to other members of the group. For this, Drain had Phelps excommunicated.http://cjonline.com/news/2014-03-17/elders-excommunicate-phelps-after-power-struggle-call-kindness-within-church
==Future==
Things changed in the WBC under Drain, and not for the better. Any man capable of breaking a fifteen-year-old's nose and excommunicating the closest thing he had to a father is capable of anything. All that can be hoped for is as few people in the future as possible are hurt by Drain and the WBC's future actions until this vile cult finally collapses under the weight of its own evil and hypocrisy.
Drain and his family were excommunicated by Westboro in 2020.Steve Drain Kicked Out Of The Westboro Baptist Church. AllOutAttack on YouTube, 2020.

Steve Fuller

Steve Fuller is an American philosopher of science and proponent of intelligent design. He holds the August Comte Chair in Social Epistemology in the Department of Sociology at the University of Warwick in the UK, and has been central in the development of the field of social epistemology,Homepage at the University of Warwick a branch of the philosophy of science that examines the social dimensions of scientific knowledge. Fuller's research has focused on the organization of scientific institutions and the social processes by which "knowledge" is agreed upon."Social Epistemology", Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Fuller's advocacy for intelligent design has extended to testimony in the Kitzmiller trial, appearances in movies such as Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed and the BBC's The Trouble with Atheism, and authorship of books such as 2007's Science vs. Religion? and 2008's Dissent Over Descent. Fuller's personal beliefs appear carefully indeterminate, as he describes himself as a secular humanist, while also being "very sympathetic to Christian ideas" and undecided on evolution."Steve Fuller: Design Trouble", The Guardian

Steve Shives

Steve Shives is an atheist vlogger who has produced video series including "An Atheist Reads" and "Five Things" (previously Five Stupid Things). His videos deal with debunking conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and assorted woo.
Shives has expressed vocal support for Atheism+, and he has argued that feminism should be more widely accepted in the atheist community. This position has unsurprisingly drawn sharp criticism from anti-feminists in the atheist YouTube community, including Armoured Skeptic, TheAmazingAtheist, and Sargon of Akkad.
Besides his YouTube channel, Shives used to occupy the Tuesday slot on the collective-run Breakfast Club channel until it was discontinued in October 2015.
He does a very good RP accent apart from completely forgetting the yod sound /j/ before certain vowels.e.g. in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1DUrI__OZQ he says Youtube as /ju:tu:b/ rather than /j:u:tj:ub/ 
==Block Bot==
Shives uses a block bot, with the goal of reducing the absurd amount of harassment in his feeds.Such as all this. (And that is with a block bot on)Why Do I Block So Many People, Anyway? Realistically, this results in most people who try to tweet him being blocked by him, usually without their knowledge. Many people claim to have been blocked by Shives' account before having even heard his name, only discovering it when they looked him up for the first time.https://medium.com/@SidheSaidWhat/i-was-blocked-by-a-rando-a-tale-involving-steve-shives-ad8a599e93c The unusual zeal of Shives' block-bot is a frequent source of criticism against him.
==Mainstream pickups==
Shives has been picked up by the Huffington Post a couple times for his opinions,http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/10/feminism-not-humanism-youtube_n_6132414.htmlhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/outspeak/wwe-hall-of-famers-whod-_b_9577978.htmlhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/diversity-and-inclusion-are-not-anti-science_us_58a4e071e4b026a89a7a262c and once by Vice.https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/a-reminder-internet-atheists-fucking-suck?utm_source=vicefbuk

Steve Taylor

Steve Taylor is a Christian Rock musician most infamous for his series of 1980s albums, musically influenced by new wave acts like Oingo Boingo, but with lyrics straight out of the Moral Majority's playbook.http://www.stevenmtaylor.com/ His first album in particular was rather full of homophobic and anti-abortion lyrics. While he certainly liked to satirize the hypocrisy within evangelical churches, most of his sarcasm was aimed at liberal boogeymen like secular humanists.
Then he aimed his fire in the opposite direction, so to speak, and hit his stride. He slammed Bob Jones University's racism in one song ("We Don't Need No Colour Code"), Christian churches who demanded excessive legalism of their followers ("I Want to be a Clone"), Jimmy Swaggart's and Jim Bakker's scandals ("Guilty By Association" and "On the Fritz"), Jimmy Carter's born again status ("It's a Personal Thing"), name it and claim it theology ("You Don't Owe Me Nothing"), and abortion clinic bombers ("I Blew Up the Clinic Real Good").
It was that last song, from his fourth album (released 1988) that got him into hot water with both his evangelical audience (who thought he had turned against the pro-life position) and with mainstream feminists (who mistook his sarcasm for a serious endorsement of blowing up clinics). The title of that album, I Predict 1990, was also a jab at Christians repeatedly trying to set dates for the rapture, which didn't help him with his evangelical audience either (Allmusic.com says the Christian music scene "all but disowned him" due to that album). After a bout of defending his reputation on the Sally Jesse Raphael show and expressing frustration at being repeatedly misunderstood, he called it quits as a Christian musician and started the short-lived alternative rock group Chagall Guevara. Chagall Guevara got some critical acclaim but only one real hit, "Tale o' the Twister" from the soundtrack to Christian Slater's 1990 movie Pump Up the Volume.
He has since returned to Christian music, as well as acting and film production.
Fundamentalist websites opposed to "Christian rock" are fond of citing Taylor's lyrics, especially "I Want to be a Clone", as examples of why Christianity and rock & roll don't mix and lead to rebellion and worse.

Steven Goldberg

Steven Goldberg is an American author and sociologist known for his conviction that patriarchy is a among all current and past human societies, and biologically explained. His first and most famous work is his 1973 book The Inevitability of Patriarchy. He published a second book in 1993, Why Men Rule, where he shifts his core argument from universal anthropology to modern Western workforce.
==Outline of views==
Goldberg defines patriarchy as a society with three institutions:Steven Goldberg: Logical Analysis of Social Questions.
# Overwhelming male majorities in upper hierarchical positions. 
# Roles which give high status occupied primarily by males and reflecting functions of male physiology.
# Cultural expectation, by both men and women, of male leadership, dominance and control, even if this is absent from law or formal customs.
Goldberg asserts that all these three institutions are observed in every society that exists and has ever existed on Earth, with no exceptions, regardless of any other feature. In his own words: "all societies — whether Christian or pagan, etc.; capitalist or communal, etc.; “stone age” or modern industrial, exhibit the institutions". He also says that no attempt to find an exceptional society has succeeded. "For forty years I have challenged professional anthropologists and archaeologists to risk their reputations by specifying a society lacking any of these institutions. None has done so".
Goldberg next proposes a hypothetical psychophysiological phenomenon, the male "dominance tendency", to explain the universality of these three institutions. He explains that, on average, dominance behaviour is more easily elicited by men than by women. He examines the correlations between behaviour and testosterone and concludes that testosterone is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the development of the three institutions. This means that if a society was able to intervene biologically by removing testosterone, the institutions would not develop.
On his website, Goldberg comments that his views are not more than scientifically explanatory and must not be labeled sexist. "One could agree with all that I have written here and argue that the theory presented here indicates the crucial importance of an equal rights amendment limiting as much as possible a male advan­tage in attaining positions, an advantage that often has nothing to do with performance in those positions."
==Criticism==
Goldberg's work has been criticized several times, first when The Inevitability of Patriarchy was published in the 1970s, notably by Eleanor Leacock, Frank B. Livingstone and Joan Huber. Goldberg responded to this criticism. 
On his website, Goldberg answers several frequently asked questions concerning his theory.

Steven M. Stanley

Steven M. Stanley is an American paleontologist and evolutionary biologist known for endorsing punctuated equilibrium from his research on the fossil record.
==Evolution==
He received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1968. He works at the at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In 1972 Stanley proposed the Predation Hypothesis to explain the evolution of novelties in the Cambrian explosion. He proposed that predation stimulated prey animals to evolve defenses such as shells, rapid swimming, and burrowing. According to Stanley these strategies also opened new avenues of evolution through functional shifts. Hard shells allowed for filter feeding, and deep burrowing allowed animals to gain new access to food resources. In 2006 Stanley was awarded the Mary Clark Thompson Medal by the National Academy of Sciences and in 2008 the William H. Twenhofel Medal by the Society for Sedimentary Geology.
Stanley has called for extended evolutionary synthesis based on research on punctuated equilibrium and species selection and summarized his views in his 1981 book The New Evolutionary Timetable: Fossils, Genes, and the Origin of Species. He is usually quote mined by creationists.

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) is a trans-continental animal rights group. The sole purpose of SHAC is to close down the contract animal testing laboratory Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), which they accuse of animal cruelty. Founded in 1999 by Greg Avery, Heather James, and Natasha Dellemagne, it works as a leaderless direct action grassroots movement with branches in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Although there are several animal rights groups opposing the HLS, the SHAC is described by The Economist as "the most visible and effective groups hunting the firm".Testing Times. Archived from The Economist, 18 January 2001.
Although widely supported by animal rights advocates, it is a controversial organization due to the methods it employs to close down the said laboratory (such as hoax bomb parcels, threatening telephone calls, describing managers of the companies they oppose as paedophiles, etc.),Animal rights activists guilty of Huntingdon Life Sciences blackmail campaign. Archived from The Telegraph, 23 December 2008. and it is considered a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI.
The main strategy that was employed by SHAC was secondary and tertiary targeting. Instead of targeting HLS directly, they instead targeted corporations and individuals with ties to HLS. This resulted in people not wanting to invest in HLS, and selling all their stock. This inflicted severe damage to the company. The company only survived due to government bailouts.

Stop Murder Music

Stop Murder Music is an international campaign seeking to oppose musicians whose lyrics glorify violence against homosexuals. It is jointly run by three gay rights groups: Outrage!, the Black Gay Men's Advisory Group, and the Jamaica-based J-Flag.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/murder-music-silenced-by-a-tough-operator-6151444.html Peter Tatchell is closely involved with the campaign's British chapter,http://web.archive.org/web/20050419120025/www.blackmusiccouncil.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1103143546&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1& while its Canadian division was founded by Akim Larcher.https://sta.uwi.edu/crgs/november2009/akimadelarcher.asp
The campaign has a particular focus on the music of Jamaica. In 2008, Stop Murder Music Canada called for a complete boycott on Jamaican music until the country's government does more to tackle homophobic violence; the previous year the campaign had successfully forced the cancellations of Ontario concerts by Sizzla, Elephant Man, Capleton, Baby Cham, and Beenie Man.http://www.freemuse.org/sw27728.asp
Stop Murder Music has been criticised in some quarters on the grounds that its targets have the right to free speechhttp://outrage.org.uk/2007/08/jamaica-homophobia-murder-music-and-free-speech/ and by people who believe its focus on Jamaican musicians to be racist.http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2004/dec/10/gayrights.popandrock

Stopped clock

The phrase "stopped clock" (also "broken clock" or "sudden outbreak of common sense"Slashdot stories tagged with "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense") comes from the proverb "even a stopped clock is right twice a day", thus implying that even cranks, denialists, or conspiracy theorists that are wrong at every other time of the day can theoretically be correct once in a while, especially despite their bad reasoning.
==When is a moment a stopped clock?==
Application of stopped clock moments should be careful. It is unreasonable to expect those that have different or even badly-formed ideologies and frameworks to be wrong on every subject. Also, since people change minds all the time, moments of assholes that later recognize their harmful behavior, take responsibility, and apologize are not stopped clock moments. Additionally, two unreasonable opinions that appear to cancel each other out and create a reasonable one are not a stopped clock moment — they are simply two unreasonable statements. One example of this would be a transphobe who claims that "transgender men" should not use the same bathroom as little girls, but is misgendering trans women while simultaneously denying them their rights and has not had a stopped clock moment. The two negative views may appear to cancel each other out and create a positive one, but they do not. Finally, any moment where someone displays decency, but such decency originates from a bad framework, is not a stopped clock moment. For instance, a racist can condemn animal cruelty, but the thought is fueled by racism against the Chinese (which in some small provinces raise dogs for food).China's annual dog meat festival is underway, but activists hope it will be the last, CBS News, June 24, 2020
The best application for a stopped clock moment would be to illustrate the fallacy fallacy, which is the mistake of assuming that any conclusion derived from fallacious reasoning must be false. A clock stopped at 3:48 will always conclude that the current time is 3:48. Despite its faulty premises, though, this conclusion happens to be correct for two minutes a day, or 1/720 (roughly 0.14%) of the time.
A stopped clock isn't when you agree with someone you'd normally disagree with, but instead when someone who generally spouts harmful, hateful, or just nonsensical views says or does something that is unambiguously beneficial. PETA, a radical animal rights group, isn't a stopped clock because they are vegans (as that is an opinionated assumption), but donating artificial lamb cadavers to Egyptian medical schools to reduce the reliance on actual dead lambs is a stopped clock.PETA’s Donation to Help Save Lives, Animal and Human, New York Times, January 13, 2014
