Oh yes? The self-described “brave hero” wasn’t there? Poor guy. I bet he was really looking forward to chatting with Rebecca.

Isn’t the obsessed clown British? Did he fly across the Atlantic, only to be refused entry, or did they catch him earlier than that?

Whilst I agree bats are pretty cool, I would avoid getting shat on by them after reading this (as you can tell from the link the article’s a bit hysterical, but then haemorrhagic fevers tend to invite that):

Thanks for the update but Martin’s post is a week old. Sadly although AXP has some great writers that I always love to hear from, between 5 of them they can’t manage more than 10 posts a month and it’s routine that their blog goes stale by a week or more.

@Alethea
See this is why I stopped giving skeptics/atheists the benefit of the doubt. Presume everyone and especially every group is a shit head until demonstrated otherwise.

With Loftus and Vacula, they’ve got both transphobia and misogyny. Now they’re looking for a racist blogger.

…oh and they’ve got Ryan Grant Long on board as well. Perhaps they’ll be inviting the obsessed clown posting as “ElevatorGate” next.
