Why PZ Myers Deserves to Win the Science Blog Award


This blog, deserves to win this vote because of having tude:

I want my commenters to be uncivil. There is no virtue in politeness when confronted with ignorance, dishonesty, and delusion. I want them to charge in to the heart of the issue and shred the frauds, without hesitation and without faltering over manners. These demands for a false front of civility are one of the strategies used by charlatans who want to mask their lack of substance — oh, yes, it would be so goddamned rude to point out that a huckster is lying to you. I am quite happy that we have a culture of being rude to frauds here.

Be Rude to Frauds. It's something that our political system needs to learn. Because right now we have a political culture of "purge on truth."

the phrase "anti-semitism" reminds us that there are bigots on both sides of the fence. i.e. simply saying that you're jewish or that you love jews doesn't prove that you're not a terrorist. some people get breast cancer while others get prostate cancer.

UPDATE: for the confused, it looks like Stirling just deleted the post that inspired this comment.

Other people have their own bottom lines, but jokes have to be funny is one of mine.
