Teddy (Vox) is a pretty disgusting human being. He routinely brags about his intelligence (he always refers to Mensa), yet his knowledge and comprehension of most subjects is pitiful. And unlike most of the people PZ refers to, Teddy is an actual misogynist - his writings on women are nothing but FAIL. PZs labeling of people he disagrees with as being on par with him does reduce the word to pretty much meaningless. I think that if PZ has anyone read his blog who isn't a regular, these people are going to be confused - whether they think other people are on par with Teddy, or else they will think that PZ is making Teddy out to be worse than he actually is - just like everyone else PZ labels as misogynist. He shoots himself in the foot when he acts that hyperbolic. Way to go PZ!EdwardGemmer wrote:Just a sign of how completely ineffective and silly PZ Myers has become. After months of calling everyone racist and sexist, his diatribe about an actual racist sounds pretty mild and boring. Theodore Beale is a "Not a good person, a really nasty, unstable, vicious wackaloon." But Russell Blackford is a "lying fucktard," so who really knows the difference anymore? Anyways, when you hate everyone around you, people stop caring about your opinions on who to hate.
Sorry to hear about your Uncle, Phil. My condolences as well.
