Jed has personally attacked /all/ "Rossi > skeptics", it would seem. Once again, Mr. Lawrence, it leave it to u to ferret out the fiddledebits of an argument. Well... shoot. Maybe you're right. ;-) I'm forced to go on the offense with the following equally questionable counter argument: Doesn't it also depend on whether Robert identifies himself as a cheer leader for the skeptics society, whomever that society might be? Well... maybe Robert does identify himself so. Who knows. ;-) I would personally hope that Robert is speaking strictly for himself and does not need to personally identify nor align himself with any particular society, be they skeptical or not.
