[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2211906, member: 246624"] You're not helping has proven it's analytical illiteracy and disregard for reason and truth in a rather ironic way: By demonstrating biased 'reasoning' and [I]ad hominem[/I] argument in a blog post about how another blog is not really a science blog. Some time ago they selected[URL="http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/"] Why Evolution is True[/URL] as a blog they hate, regardless of what happens there. (This is how You're Not Helping blog operates: purely ad hominem, or in this case, a bloginem ... if you [I]are[/I] "PZ Myers" or "WEIT" or "Ophelia Benson" or, remarkably, "Greg Laden" then you're wrong no matter what you said. They give other reasons, and occasionally "agree" (half heartedly) but their inconsistency of argument with their consistency of target choice shows us that they know these entities are deemed wrong before inspecting the arguments being made. And, when someone point out their tactics, the are labeled as conspiracy theorists, which, again, marks their arguments as invalid because of who ... the conspiracy theorist ... makes the argument.
