Re: Happy 3rd Pit Birthday!
I think people are inadvisably taking PZ's words at face value when the guy is a longstanding bullshitter.
I don't know where his stupidity ends and his dishonesty begins, but I know better than to think he believes every stupid thing that comes out of his mouth, just some of it.

I think the critical difference between typical SJWS tactics and Milo's aping of them is that he's not saying these people are guilty by mere association, but that they are deliberately apologizing for Nyberg and putting their own reputations on the line knowingly. Milo's just cashing in their chips.
