Here's the thread where he made his introductory post:
http://tinyurl.com/h4uh6
Scroll past the first post on inaugural ceremonies.
Unfortunately the *order* of posts in the thread is
screwed up; the first one of his you'll see is a
response. Scroll down a bit further to find his
introductory post and the posts he's responding to.
This is just the first of many threads in which he
participated. I was amused to revisit it and see
how moderately and reasonably he presented himself
at first. As time went on, though, the picture
became rather different.
Curtis had a tendency throughout to make broad,
sweeping statements that he had trouble supporting
when he was asked for specifics. He seems to have
settled on an overall "story" in his mind that
justified his anti-TM stance, but the story itself
didn't relate all that closely to the mundane
reality.
Not that he didn't have some legitimate beefs, of
course; it's just that they didn't hang together
quite as well as he assumed they did. When the
various holes were pointed out to him, he had to
do some fast juggling to try to bridge the gaps,
and he didn't exactly always maintain the highest
standards of intellectual integrity in doing so
(IMHO).
Many of the posts in those threads are *very* long;
it'll take some patience to get through enough of
them to form a clear idea of what went on.
