JB's post to Orac on A of A

[Guest guest]

Good morning, Dr. Gorksi. Before you run off to operate on some poor

soul with cancer, thought you'd like to read JB's love letter to you on

Age of Autism. What's that? We're on your home page just below the Star

Trek news? Oh. Then you've already seen it. OK then.

Have a good day.

Kim

"Cybertiger", on the JABS Forum, has already added to JB's list: A dozen and one reasons ... to hate Orac and the burning flatulence emitted from this rodent's posterior.13. He is hotly revered by the stupidist cult followers of the Yoga Dr Ben Maharishi Goldacre of madscience infamy.schaferatsprynet wrote: > Why

I had never heard of this guybefore JB called him out. Having said that, I think there is a placefor counter-bashing and ridicule. Sometimes you have to call out thefarts when you smell them. Unfortunately personal bashing issomething that our political leaders in congress do to one anotherwhen campaigning for election. They do it because it works. But likein cooking, it is an ingredient that can be easily overused.Lenny
