I, of course, agree with you. But I'd also like to point out that I haven't
called Dembski by any names. I have harshly criticised his work and his
activities in promoting the Design Inference. Those criticisms inevitably
reflect on Dembski himself. However, between Dembski and me, it is Dembski
who has resorted to name-calling, not me.
P.S. I've filtered out Nelson's posts, but I still have to endure seeing his
drivel in other people's responses to him. Perhaps it's asking too much,
but could other people please try to refrain from responding to him too?
