If Hensley has been diagnosed with PTSD, I don't see a lot of reasons to not believe her. But seriously, getting PTSD from online interactions? What next, tears of rage? Shacking with rage? There's a pattern with this crowd, and the best they could do for their own benefit would be to leave the int...

Indeed; Oolon covers both definitions of the word oleaginous.

Didn't Simon Singh get nearly bankrupted, just by having to defend himself in a libel case that was eventually dismissed? Yes, he did.

If oolon isn't a complete idiot and thinks about his family, he will pull the plug on the Block Bot and apologise profusely to everyone who was on it.

I could have sworn that yesterday, the people on the block bot list at http://www.theblockbot.com/?page_id=35 were all lumped together as I distinctly remember seeing NoelPlum near the top but today they have been organised into "levels".

No. Those would be bugs or accidental coding. the block-bot is actual maliciousness. To be clear: if I install the block bot, and you, welch, are on the block-bot list with a spamer tag, then not only does your twitter feed get blocked, a spam report gets sent to twitter. That is, everytime someone...

Red Bull, fish bait, pony tail and sandals (as tigzy suggested). The oolon essence.

I'm pretty sure I remember Opheliar basically telling Oolon to shut the fuck up many times. Now that he's famous, that has changed into "rebuking [him] for his frivolity".

So "cooking with beef" means I need to have a live cow standing next to me? :think: OK, but they make an awful mess of the kitchen floor. :) No, "cooking with beef" is unambiguous, since beef is always dead cow.

There is one other thing which is terribly important, but hard to convey. I'm not even sure most scientists grasp it: Nature is about distributions , not averages or even ranges.

Looks as if Carrier takes Verenna pretty seriously, no? My issues with Carrier, as I have explained several times before, are: 1) He is known to be dishonest about A+ and the A/S community. Why would he suddenly not be dishonest in his scholarly work? 2) He falsely inflates the academic credibility...
