If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

So, I was going to register and write an indignant post about how PZ Myer's comment at Nugent's blog had finally driven me to it, but then I found that I had already registered to carp at AndrewV69 about something. Anyway, as I said at Nugent's: The point that Myers fails to address (or perhaps gra...

About the PZ thing I was almost in agreement with him, almost - don't bother wasting everybody's time, signing people up to shit etc, it is a bit pathetic, I prefer to "harass" him with my mere existence as a misogynist slimpitter.

That's the whole problem with Bayes Theorm, you can prove or disprove whatever you want by adjusting assumptions , not facts. I could prove you don't, and never have, existed.
