My primary problem with Caledonian is his systematic misrepresentation of everything I say, which is either deliberate dishonesty or so self-deceiving as to amount to dishonest. A new reader coming across a post may be misled by this, not knowing Caledonian, and thinking he is summarizing things I’ve said elsewhere.
If Caledonian was an obvious troll with no spelling, I would worry less about his misleading new readers. As it is… well, he managed to get himself banned from Pharyngula and I’m thinking maybe PZ Myers had it right.
I’ll take into account these disagreements, but I don’t think there’s any shortage of disagreement here, and Caledonian is looking like more trouble than he’s worth. Maybe I’ll institute a sudden-death rule, next misrepresentation gets him gone.
