This is just one example. You continue to abuse people, without giving a single reason for thinking that the abuse you direct is justified. If you cannot justify it, then not only should Sheril stop giving you references to anything, but your posts should be removed from this blog.

Chris and Sheril, you have some responsibility for maintaining a reasonable level of civility here. Criticism, even strenuous criticism, is always justified, but mere abuse of the type that John Kwok dishes out is really beyond the pale. You suggest that the ‘new atheists’ (whoever they are) are too confrontational, and harm the image of science. After reading through this thread, your image has been thoroughly defaced. Does this stuff represent you? If not, don’t you think it’s time to tone some of it down, or ask certain posters to stop posting to your blog?

And, Chris, saying that it’s a long thread is not to the point. John Kwok has been abusing his privileges here almost from the start. So, make up your mind. Be consistent. But don’t, in your book, accuse people of militancy and stridency and worse, and then, here on your blog, allow people to be abusive without reason. Your own reputations are on the line here. Is this the reputation that you want people to have of you?

Your remark (@ 181) is not only childish, but quite moronic. But then again, I believe that I’ve been dealing with morons like yourself and a few others here.

I’m beginning to think that you have a word template of the diatribes you’re flailing and just exchange the names with whom they’re directed. Let’s see…..Loc will need response 12C (copy, paste, submit). Everything you say is so….unoriginal and reiterated over and over and over…

Couldn’t think of you as a FB friend. Perish the thought, please.

No, I didn’t exaggerate. Since you obviously have all the free time on your hands, when will you begin addressing the questions I posed to you? Otherwise, I’ll continue to think that this Bernie Taupin lyric applies to you, ” Reality, it seems was just a dream.”

She just provided me a link to Ophelia’s absurd essay that was published earlier this spring, That’s all.

I draw the line at being Facebook friends with Kwok in order to monitor what he’s saying about me. No chance!

Because I am not following the blog 24/7, we are working on our filters–and may have to go to comment moderation.

I talked to Sheril, and she is at a Mets game in NY and also not following, but she assures me that rumors of feeding information are dramatically overstated, she only responded to a note on Facebook.
