re: #50 Barrett Brown
The guy puts “creationists” in scare quotes. I hate it when people do that, take terms that aren’t under dispute in quotes as if… I mean, I don’t even know what the underlying intent is there. It’s fucking bizarre and dishonest, whatever it is. I was debating with this pro-Putin contributor at True/Slant who kept putting “protests” in quotes when anyone protested Putin. Also, “opposition.” I have no problem talking to anyone of any ideology, but I can’t stand cheap little tricks like that.
Heh. And he compares me to “that Russell Crowe” character from “A Beautiful Mind,” apparently failing to understand that this character was based on a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician, John Nash, who was renowned for his math genius and his ability to solve problems no one else could.
What this fool took away from the movie was that the character was nuts, and missed the fact that Nash suffered from schizophrenia, as many true geniuses have. Pathetic.
