Wow, Rick Moen is apparently a truly terrible person who is bad at both reading and thinking.

That's sad. I thought he was smarter than that, and I really like Deirdre Moen's writing, whose blog he's commenting on.

This is like "discovering Emma Bull is married to Will Shetterly and doesn't object to his statements" level of sad. Because that comment and it's defense of Ted Beale? That's Shetterly-level stupid.

Although possibly he was jetlagged and pedantic. Reading further down the comments indicates that he is NOT a Beale fan.

Doesn't make his comment not stupid, but he's also not in the irredeemable puppy camp.

On file 770 he's being very anti-Beale, although reading this and his statements there I think he's evolved now that he's had a chance to think.

That said there are other things he's not covered himself in glory over.

I don't believe he's a Beale fan - he says it, I have no reason to disagree. I just ALSO take him at his word that he thinks "PJ" PZ Myers is worse, which just shows a truly pathetic lack of reading comprehension.

The PJ thing I'll consider a "thinko" since everywhere else he refers to him as PZ. The rest I leave to its own merits (or lack of, whichever fits).
