I have a jeep. They're great on dates. The roar of the tires is so loud I can't hear a word she says.

Twitter and its unlimited variations of stupid.

I posted this to Ophelia Benson PZ Myers (comment #40): Ogvorbis was a victim of childhood rape and sexual abuse, and as part of his torment was made to participate in sexual activities with other children. Thatâ€™s the basis of the slymepitterâ€™s frequent accusations that he is a rapist, and is a...

Exactly, it seems she is working some agenda.

So long as the Pit is on top of it, Ophelia has an article up about the firing of New York Times editor, Jill Abramson, and is, as usual, not very charitable. http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterfliesandwheels/2014/05/how-to-explain/ It's all about gender. Of course it is. She was fired because she w...

Naaaah.

I wonder if statements made by Twitter sock puppet accounts made it on the hate page of skepchick.
Could it be that fighting the good cause allows a tactic like this?

You are right. But since they seem to lack the privilege of money, this is as close as possible for them to be taken seriously.

Who where and when was KS diagnosed with BPD?

That's very reasonable. I'm guessing it runs at quite a big loss; not that I think this is an issue in something primary like healthcare. Actually not that much. That is why insurance fees are adjusted every year, and that's why I pay a little less this year than the year before. (that however is n...

Try persuading them to get "kettle one" jenever. It's available in the states and it is easily one of the best jenevers out there (if you're in that kind of thing.)

Kenteken, Am I to understand you're paying EUR 350 per annum for healthcare, or is that just the maximum out-of-pocket cost? I'm not quite sure of your exact meaning. I've wrestled with both the NHS in Britain and the healthcare system in US, which is my new home. Per month when all said and done i...

What does this even mean? Not exactly right about what? I have made no claims that the US system of health care delivery is particularly good. Are you reading too much into what I wrote? I think the US system is among the worst of the industrialized countries. An interesting situation. Costs are in...

Do you believe that Americans pay more for health care because they get more and better service? Also, where do you get your information about healthcare in other countries? It has been my experience that many Merkins are really poorly informed about healthcare in Canada, and frequently just parrot...

He has been called out on it in detail - but deleted these comments in their entirety. Completely gone. There's 1 deep link in his entire article, and the research that hides behind it, shows that none of the actual researchers would make a "YES" statement concerning that question. So, this article...

As the wise Walt Disney once said: "When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably."

Is there any case study in the literature describing PTSD by twitter (or the Internet.)?
If not, we are watching history being made, and MH's therapist will make the annals of psychiatry.
