Mr. Dawkins, if you're so smart, and know exactly what you're talking about, then let's discuss this:
Your Quote:
It was easy for Mathis to spot PZ Myers' name on the list of those registering in advance. Like all guests, my name was not on any list, and therefore Mathis didn't spot me.
My rebuttal:
If ALL guests were not listed, then how did Mathis spot PZ Myers'? Do we speak English? ALL, means ALL. Apparently scientists don't consider words to mean anything except what they want them to mean.
Your quote:
I may have misremembered the details of our exchanges, by eMail and by telephone, but I vividly remember his reassuring me, over the telephone, that he was on the side of science, and he made no attempt to distance himself from my sarcastic jokes about 'Intelligent Design'.
My rebuttal:
If you "misremembered" the details of exchanges in conversation "over the telephone" then how can you "vividly" remember the exchanges otherwise?
Basically, this is tantamount of saying: "I may have misremembered the details of our exchange, in which I told you I would be at your house to pick you up at 7:00pm, but I VIVIDLY remember your admonition to arrive at your house at 7:00pm so we could get to the ballgame on time."
Doesn't add up. Doesn't stack up. Actually, these outpourings crumble under the weight of duplicity and aversion to responsibility for your own actions/words.
You're a light-weight in this universe...get over it.
P.S. I love the "creationist wingnuts" blerb; I suppose that makes you a "non-creationist wingnut".
