thinking caps off

PZ's smackdown of a hapless, self-described Thinker was funny and sad the first time, and even funnier and sadder the second.

The Thinker has even set up a fresh weblog to counter the criticism. It's hilariously inept. A sample:

You are a nasty little man, sir. Name calling is the last refuge of the loser of an argument. The fact that you felt it necessary to launch into it immediately speaks volumes about you and your position.

"You are a nasty little man" and "Name calling is the last refuge of a loser of an argument." In successive sentences! Remarkable.

Moral of the story: Wittgenstein's dictum.

Update: Now, on Dembski's blog, a plea for help.

I`m being assaulted by PZ Myers and his Panda`s Middle Finger minions at my website. It`s vicious, and I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

But you're already being helped, Birdnow. PZ's just applying Dembskian "reality therapy." Truth stings.
