re: #550 Charles

I guess I forgot to add thin-skinned. I think your response justifies my criticisms. Can you not see the similarity between your treatment of the Wedge doc and Anti-Semitic claims about the Protocols? I think “blinded by science”, while rather light-hearted (sorry if I offended any Thomas Dolby fans) is rather apt as well. Arrogance is defined as “an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions”. Again, I make no truth claims; I’m only pointing out the heavy-handed manner you employ, ostensibly to crush dissent. Your justification for your behavior is probably something akin to “rescuing Reason and Truth from Superstition and Dogma” but I think it is a false premise and an overreaction.
