Sadly, no. It means I am too tired and busy to debate racism. I have
been through it many times on this list and don't have the resources
to go through it again. Although it may seem reasonable to demand
proof every time this issue comes up, I don't have time to argue it
every time. Some day I need to write whole papers or FAQs on these
specific questions once and for all. It would take a great deal of
effort to do, but might save me time and effort later on. I would
just refer people to my references. For now, I would just suggest
that people search our archives or look through the archives of
skeptic groups and hoax groups that frequently debunk these kinds of
"scientific" proofs. We don't have to reinvent the wheel here.
