Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

Several thousand years ago, a small tribe of ignorant near-savages wrote various collections of myths, wild tales, lies, and gibberish. Over the centuries, these stories were embellished, garbled, mutilated, and repeatedly shuffled. Finally, this material was badly translated into several languages successively. The resultant text, Chad Farnan believes, is the best guide to the complex and technical subjects of the origin of the universe and organic life.
ReplyDeleteThis means Chad Farnan is an asshat.
I beg to differ. That Farnan relies on ancient mythology as a guide to scientific truth makes him ignorant or deluded. That he is willing to harm another to protect his ridiculous superstitions from criticism makes him an asshat. That the school district is willing to support his asshattery makes them contemptible swine.
ReplyDeleteYou are free to be a language deviant if you wish. We are both aware that words do not have intrinsic meaning, but rather acquire meaning by how they are used.
ReplyDeleteAsshat, as it is most commonly used, refers to a person that is clueless or idiotic.
I do not dispute that Farnan is also a jackass.
