Someone thinks it's possible a person creating a blog to support Intelligent Design and criticise evolutionsry theory might randomly come up with the name "Skeptico?" Sorry, I ain't buying it.</p>Bronze Dog commented on 'Get a load of this lame-ass'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d8348ccaa453ef2006-05-23T19:56:28Z2007-08-19T08:46:53ZBronze Doghttp://rockstarramblings.blogspot.com/I know he's been by the Uncredible Hallq's place, which has a link on the left.<p>I know he's been by the Uncredible Hallq's place, which has a link on the left.</p>dorkafork commented on 'Get a load of this lame-ass'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d8348cc47253ef2006-05-23T19:01:33Z2007-08-19T08:07:16Zdorkaforkhttp://dorkafork.com/blog/Is he leaving comments as Skeptico in comment sections you've been known to frequent, or have linked to you, etc.?...<p>Is he leaving comments as Skeptico in comment sections you've been known to frequent, or have linked to you, etc.?

<p>Lying - if he is a cretinist and/or an IDiot he is certainly a fool, and probably a liar.</p>Lord Runolfr commented on 'Get a load of this lame-ass'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d834c218e269e22006-05-23T16:56:20Z2007-08-19T08:02:07ZLord Runolfrhttp://runolfr.blogspot.com/Would there be any grounds for asking Blogger to drop his account?

<p>1) Something similar happened in the right-leaning blogosphere with Moxie.nu and a another blogger who started a site called MoxiePop. It became a cavalcade of retardation, to the point that (so it seemed) one of Moxie.nu's fans got MoxiePop fired from her job.</p>
<p>2) I'd never been to nor heard of this site until Pharyngula linked over, and I'm a pretty avid blogger/blog-reader.</p>
<p>Remember, even the ID crowd considers itself to be rational and skeptical, no matter how misguided such thoughts may be.</p>BronzeDog commented on 'Get a load of this lame-ass'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d8348caa7b53ef2006-05-23T13:29:33Z2007-08-19T08:33:58ZBronzeDoghttp://rockstarramblings.blogspot.com/I contemplated the possibility, but I doubt it.

<p>Plus a IDiot impersonating a skeptic to push his Time Cube Guy-esque "arguments" would not be a very extraordinary explanation.</p>The Rev.

I know our one is relatively well known in the online skeptical community, but it's at least possible the ID proponent just didn't know about our wee man of reason, unless anyone has evidence to the contrary.</p>bigdumbchimp commented on 'Get a load of this lame-ass'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d8348c9c0453ef2006-05-23T04:05:41Z2007-08-19T07:49:23Zbigdumbchimphttp://bigdumbchimp.blogspot.comWait this isn't the anti-evoltuoin site?

<p>This goes along the lines of Generation Abandon buying oracknows.com to try and make it look like Orac over at Respectful Insolence endorses their nonsense, even though <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2006/03/mercury_and_autism_rfk_jr_drop.php" rel="nofollow">he doesn't</a>.</p>
