I've read his stuff and enjoyed it. I wouldn't be surprised if he revised his opinion on that thing that happened a while back, but didn't say much because it wouldn't have made much of a difference by then anyway.
It is sad to see monetary issues fucking up something good.

Re: PZ Myers - Phryngula ON STRIKE
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

Re: PZ Myers - Phryngula ON STRIKE
I well remember his comments when RDF went it tits up, get a life mate, get a life, its only the internet. 
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

A couple of comments from the site.
The refugees from the old Richard Dawkins forums can't help but snicker now that the break-up drama is yours PZ. Go start your own like we did.
"I have no idea of the background of this - but certain aspects of it remind me of the RD.net debacle that you blogged quite dismissively about a few months back - only that Timonen and his sidekick were out and out BASTARDS to that web community for a few days while Richard's back was turned.
So I kind of get the situation, and am not going to make dismissive comments about how Seed can do what they want since it's they're site (which you of course likely already know) or that you're exhibiting a false sense of entitlement or whatever…
Either way, I am secure in the knowledge that Pharyngula will go on under some guise or other, and I'll keep reading it. I'll leave the details and best wishes with you and the other aggrieved bloggers to sort out"
