If there is one thing Baboon supporters really hate - it is people with credible arguments and points who are not afraid of standing up to the hectoring morons that troll Twitter on behalf of the FC5. That's why they really hate Justin.
I also like thei threshold of what constitutes justification for "banning". For it seems what gripes they have with Justin, they are trivial compared to the bullying threats displayed by Osama Greg Laden. He is not "banned" or "blocked" by those frothing at the mouth at Justin.

Thanks. It is important to note here, once again, about what seems to be Ophelia Benson's total unwillingness to address my arguments. Following one of my podcast episodes (
http://nepafreethought.org/podcast/episode?p=15) in which I discussed -- among other things -- her 'threatening e-mails' she was so upset that she went on my Facebook wall to express her disapproval that was filled with name-calling and other nonsense. I extended an invitation to her to come on a future show to defend herself and she wanted nothing to do with it. She hasn't even addressed the show and the criticisms on her blog either.
Following that, I commented on her blog asking where these so-called "literal threats of rape and murder" are and she banned me. After this, PZ went about with name-calling on multiple occassions - again not addressing the arguments (or providing evidence for the "literal threats of rape and murder" that can supposedly be found, according to Rebecca Watson, by using Google for ten seconds).
What is preventing them, if they are so upset with me, about providing these "literal threats of rape and murder" to simply end the discussion? I have no reason to believe they exist...and I am even starting to think that 'Elevatorguy' never existed either.
Obviously, individual bloggers don't address every criticism and every person on their blog whom they disagree with, but it seems quite telling that they have failed to address me or the arguments I put forth in light of their only responses to be banning and name-calling.
