The entire boycott decision was based on "launch a war" rather than discuss and consciousness-raise, so the signatories would be that rabble who would most readily abandon rational discourse and critical thinking for irrational reaction. I'm wondering if PZ Myers with his assoc. professor biology degree at the prestigious University of Minnesota is thinking that with Dawkins out of the way, maybe he can finally come out from under the Horseman's shadow and make a name for himself. And with the biology genius McCreight by his side, what a chance to shine!... sort of.<br /><br />I noticed that McCreight states right off in her profile that she's always right. So you should've known that going into the "discussion." ;-) Not that she's always right, mind you, but that she's not up for discussion, just for a context to assert that she's always right... Why have a blog if one must admit a mistake on it?<br /><br />Great job finding those quotes too! I was just thinking the entire paragraph was irrelevant: who cares if Dawkins was never called those names? Elevator Guy didn't call Elevator Girl that either, so how is it even relevant to Dawkins' point about there having been no wrongdoing? It's just a braying use of ad hominem. But with her assertions also completely wrong, she's doubly irrelevant.Whatistobenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182712709703423977.post-61003061046569174012011-07-11T17:26:08.516-07:002011-07-11T17:26:08.516-07:00Boy, you sure got a purdy mouth.

Even in my field of expertise. Why don't I know? Because the answer is never obvious. If answers to these matters were obvious (amenable to intuition), mathematics would never have been invented.<br /><br />I am not a fan of the "it is obvious that" LaPlace kind of writing. The obvious things don't need to an annotation noting they're obvious.<br /><br />"It is obvious that you are reading words on this page." You never see that. Why? Because it's actually obvious.<br /><br />I also hate abstruse proofs that omit steps with the, "it can be shown that . . ." Great. You're writing the proof, show it. If I knew how to do it, you wouldn't be writing this proof and publishing it for the world. I'd have already done it, asshole!<br /><br />It's so fucking pretentious. I also don't like the "for" usage in logic. Just use since, or because. <br /><br />Beyond my motto of "I don't know" when I'm asked about things out of my field, I say something like, um, not my problem. Or, go ask a physicist. Or, I'm not a string theorist, or, I don't work on finite simple groups.<br /><br />And I don't remember shit about things I'm not working on regularly. Why? Limited space and concern. If I need to study something, I'll carry the information with me. If not, it's in a book somewhere and I can always look it up.<br /><br />But my answer is almost universally "I don't know" and then "let's see if we can't figure it out". It's a good teaching device - makes the students feel like everyone has trouble so they're like everyone else. But it's not a platitude - to figure it out, I have to do the math. Every time.<br /><br />How come lectures go more smoothly? Well, simple. I get to choose what to talk about every day. That means I have advance time to write out what I want to do and brush up on whatever the topic is. It's a little thing I like to call a schedule. But if you ambush me on the street and ask me a question, I won't know the answer right away usually.<br /><br />Meh.Justicarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271259122971289909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182712709703423977.post-85393233467950780702011-07-10T21:24:15.585-07:002011-07-10T21:24:15.585-07:00Well, she's one of those people who thinks tha...Well, she's one of those people who thinks that she's an expert on everything because she's passably competent at a few things. At least I freely admit that when I shout "I'm good at everything!" (which is often), I mean "I'm passably good at a wide variety of things, and sometimes have enough talent to not make a fool of myself on the first try!" I'm an expert at very few things, and they in no way grant me expertise at unrelated things.<br /><br />Sadly, it turns out that's a rare and special breed of self-awareness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182712709703423977.post-74924865452479291232011-07-10T20:30:28.118-07:002011-07-10T20:30:28.118-07:00Oh, that's funny just on first glance. I have...Oh, that's funny just on first glance. I haven't actually looked at the statistics on that, but I wonder what the trend does actually look like.<br /><br />I would go check, but as Jennifer pointed out, I don't understand science, research or peer-review. Curiously though, I do understand what it means when facts contradict my story. <br /><br />I'm loving the novelty of a student explaining to me the concept of peer-review. I'm fairly confident one of its features isn't refusing to print counter-claims, and contrary evidence. But hey, I'm just a loon!<br /><br />She goes on to argue somewhere earlier I think that it's her blog and she can ban anyone she wants, and therefore, it doesn't bear on her views about free thinking. I can't parse that either. <br /><br />Jen, no one is saying you can't physically do it. No one is saying that it's not your blog. I am saying that you're doing it to suppress the case being made against what you've said by someone who disagrees with you on the facts of the matter.<br /><br />And yes, this does imply something about your ethics on free thought.<br /><br />She writes:<br />"The most amusing part is the commentors he's sending over crying that I'm somehow against freedom of expression. Uhhhh, it's my blog. I can moderate however I want. And that involves removing thread derailing libelous lunatics."<br /><br />See. She can silence anyone she wants because it's her blog. Some subset of those whom she's perfectly entitled to silence includes thread derailing libelous lunatics.<br /><br />Apparently, she missed that day in law school where "truth" was discussed as being a categorical (absolute that is) defense to libel. It's not possible to defame the character of a person by noting the things they've actually done, dipshit.Justicarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271259122971289909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182712709703423977.post-43707766315496430682011-07-10T20:19:46.032-07:002011-07-10T20:19:46.032-07:00Yeah...

Almost like, you know, they're sentient and autonomous people who get to decide what they do with their time, body, money, friends, sex lives and all that jazz.<br /><br />But I'm a loon.<br /><br />I hope no one here with a respectable career posts under their real name. I'd absolutely hate to see anyone else suffer because of my, um, uncouth satire on this event.<br /><br />I did lose my adsense account over it.
