    Lisa:
    I don't think Richard's personality is the issue here. Richard might be
    obnoxious, and he might be a "stalker" (whatever that's supposed to mean),
    but that doesn't tell me whether or not Richard or Wesley make some valid
    criticisms about Dembski's work. Personally, I was impressed with Richard's
    article, and I'm impressed with the way he has defended it on the ARN board.

    It is not surprising then, that Dembski dismisses Richard and Wesley with a
    cheep-shot ad hominem. That was a big mistake, in my opinion. It looks as
    if they've hit a nerve.
