    I didn’t see the post either, so I guess i’m on the list.
    Is there a way to see who has you blocked?

    As I’ve said before that seems childish, ears plugged and going blah blah blah…

    Not disagreeing with your take but according to the article 6 studies by this guy have been retracted.
    Seems like a pattern for this “expert”.

    Ok, so using one scholar to claim the libbies this and the libbies that is still a fallacious claim. I'm sure Bluke will make a mad dash to cite some of the abundantly exceptional scholarship that is being published. And let's not forget that this scholar was held accountable; not exactly an indictment on academia - quite the opposite.

    Yeah like I said I’m not disagreeing with you on that at all.

    Not dissimilar to claiming a few asshat pedo pastors are representative of all people of faith.
    (not saying you have done that either).

    I am with you to a point. I’m a pretty skeptical person, so I do think we shouldn’t be putting tremendous faith in any single study.

    However, I don’t think this is in any way a left vs right issue. How many times have right leaning politicians, religious leaders, or Wall Street executives lied? Some percentage of people in all fields will cheat, and science is no different.

    More importantly, as flawed as science is, what other way of understanding reality is superior? Are religion, philosophy, politics, intuition, astrology, authority, and emotion free of mistakes? If I differ from conservatives in my views on truth, it likely isn’t because I have higher faith in in science but that I have lower faith in virtually all other ways of knowing. True knowledge is tough to come by man.

    Can't blame the guy, he is out now.

    Looks like he found a way to get a shorter sentence.

    It is kind of funny I kept seeing in the last message column (ignored member). I couldn't figure out who I had accidentally put on ignore until I finally realized I put nobody on ignore. I eventually realized it was some guy named tampagtr who had me on ignore. Obviously he has anybody with a right lean on ignore. Pretty typical of people with a closed mindset.

    It seemed like you being sarcastic saying “how could you say that sire is biased”.
    While not coming right out and saying the site was biased and the report was trash, you used subtle innuendo to suggest it. It’s a lawyer trick.

    If I miss read your intent sorry, it seemed pretty clear that’s what you suggested by posting the “poll question”.

    I don't see the post you're referring to either, so I doubt it's Tampa. He doesn't have me blocked.

    Well he has me on ignore, too, and I don’t think I lean too hard to the right, a fact demonstrated by my large volume of “come man, man” Bluke ratings ….

    Maybe conservatives not endeavoring to research this topic says more about them than anything or anyone else else? Maybe this shouldn't be a l/r issue in the first place?

    You’re dancing Mutz. And you fully understand the point I’ve made.

    I guess SWAC figures "If Republican presidential candidates with 20+ rape accusations can get away with it, then so can we"

    Thou protesth too much.

    Rarely watch CNN. I read from many different sources. Though you haven't so far, you ought to try it. Which reminds me:

    My reaction as well. He's one of the most closed-minded posters on TH, as evidenced by the fact that his reaction to any issue is predictable and always the same.
