A message from Mary Yugo caught my attention before falling into the

Howzat work? My filters dump the folks I'm filtering before I ever see
them.
The important point is, my messages do not violate any of the rules
set forth by Beaty:
"NO SNEERING. Ridicule, _*derision, scoffing, and ad-hominem
is banned.*_ 'Pathological Skepticism' is banned (see the link.) . . .
Jed, there has been a lot of "derision, scoffing, and ad-hominem" going
on between you and Mary, and nearly all of it has been on */your side/*.
Mary is repetitious, and can be annoying, but nearly everything she says
has to do with the /evidence/.
Your attacks on Mary have been equally repetitious, and nearly all of
them have been ad hominems, generally to the effect that she's a
pathological skeptic who would not be convinced by anything, ever.
Frankly I am finding this progressively embarrassing. I'm reminded
strongly of the mess with the Correas some years back, but that time you
took the rational side, and it was Gene who would not be swayed from his
conviction that they really had something. This time around, it's your
support for Rossi (all the while protesting that you don't support him)
which has gone past the "blushing" point.
I'd go so far as to say it's even making me wonder about your earlier
statements about Patterson's work, which sounded so convincing. If all
I'd heard about Rossi were your comments about his work, and I had never
looked at any of the actual reports, and had never noticed Rossi's
obvious lies, well, Rossi would seem pretty convincing, too.
In any case I've about had it, and I'm unsubscribing from the list.
If Rossi actually delivers something I'd appreciate it if someone would
shoot me a personal email!
(But then, if he actually delivers something, he'll make it onto the
cover of Time for sure, and I'll hear about it even if I'm not on Vortex.)
