So when faced with a description of how your behaviour makes you a
religious zealot, you do exactly what was predicted by your being a
religious zealot... Reproducible results show you're a religious zealot
with little or no understanding of the issues at hand or ability to
address issues raised with reasoned debate.

Since you either can't or won't engage in either reasoned debate or
scientific inquiry it's time to let your existing posting record of
avoiding the issues raised speak for itself, since you won't or can't
manage anything new.

Sure I couldn't agree more but please snip the inane drivel they write
before you post so we don't have to see it all again.
