Eliezer, I believe that your belittling tone is conducive to neither a healthy debate nor a readable blog post. I suspect that your attitude is borne out of just frustration, not contempt, but I would still strongly encourage you to write more civilly. It’s not just a matter of being nice; rudeness prevents both the speaker and the listener from thinking clearly and objectively, and it doesn’t contribute to anything.

Can’t agree with this enough.
