Alright, the weekend is over, so for the vanishingly small number of people — @curious_straight_ca, @DoctorMonarch, @sarker — who expressed interest, here are the answers:

AAB-FAB: Aggravated Assault & Battery / Felony Assault & Battery

RS Goods: Receiving Stolen Goods

VUFA: Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act (this is still police lingo for an illegal weapons violation)

KA House: Keeping an Assignation House (Brothel or no-tell motel)

CP: Common Prostitute

Pandering: Would probably be categorized as "promoting prostitution" under current law.

VA House: Visiting an assignation house

KD House: Keeping a disorderly house. This is still on the books, though this is usually a municipal ordinance rather than a state-level criminal offense. College towns will use these to put pressure on students who frequently throw loud parties, and urban areas will use them to cite owners of crack houses and the like. Nuisance bar laws are closely related. Basically, being in control of any building with excessive police calls for things like noise, fighting, drug use, or other things that make it a public nuisance will make you liable for this.

VD House: Visiting a disorderly house. These days, when the cops break up a party for noise and arrest everyone inside, this is what they get charged with if they don't have grounds for an underage drinking charge. Not commonly charged.

KG House: Keeping a gaming house.

VG House: Visiting a gaming house.

Yeah, getting hit with a VD is a natural fear at plenty of college parties.

And I can’t wait to accuse other posters of promoting prostitution!

KG House: Keeping a gaming house.

VG House: Visiting a gaming house.

Hah!

This gives me mental images of some twitch streamer getting raided.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
