It's interesting that posting a link to the person's site is being
considered an attack. By posting that link I implicitly suggested that
people go and check it out for themselves. How is that an attack? Did you
check out that site, Mike?
You seem to think that all parties require equal hearing. This is only
true if there was no past interaction track. A Lysenkoist or a phlogiston
"physicist" or a religious fundamentalist's view on darwinism are simply
discredited, period.
That not to say that nazis won't cite true things occasionally, if it
suits them. Does it mean I'm required to give them an open ear every time?
Shit, no.
