Indeed. This is the man who once published the combination of his bicycle lock, assuming that no-one in the seat of higher learning that is Oxford would want to nick it. :what:

I've been thinking too about what PZ might have to say. Of course, he could decide to ignore it, on the (justifiable) grounds that he doesn't want to comment on a matter that's currently going through the legal system.

A pity. :coffee:

Humble pie has never been on Dawkins' regular menu. It might be good for him, though-- humble pie is full of social intelligence vitamins.

PZ's a smart guy. I think he'll avoid being sucked into the drama by so not mentioning it at all.
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."

Just because he has proved himself to be a lying snake that would stab his friend in the back and steal from a charity doesn't mean that we were right to say nasty things about Josh when we did ..... At that time all we knew was that he was a lying snake that would stab Mods and Admins in the back and steal a Forum from it's members . I still want to meet him .

About me: Twoflower is the optimistic-but-naive tourist. He often runs into danger, being certain that nothing bad will happen to him since he is not involved. He also believes in the fundamental goodness of human nature and that all problems can be resolved, if all parties show good will and cooperate.

Let me know if you ever get to meet him. I want to capture every second of it.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

If Mr. Dawkins can get the old forum back up and running the way it was, and have a good system for running it, I would go back.

Yup. Happy to.

Fuck Timonen. I think it would be nice to look back on things and describe it as his ATTEMPT to screw it up.
Shit, Piss, Cock, Cunt, Motherfucker, Cocksucker and Tits.
