From this...

When critical thinking is abandoned in favor of arguments from incredulity and ignorance, when focused analysis, reason, and logic are left behind, and people actually take pride in embracing non-science and magical thinking, failure to assemble or even understand rational arguments seems a virtual certainty.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it was very far from being a compliment.

I'm just popping up here to mention that Darat tells me - in answer to a question I asked - that I have started 84 topics since I joined JREF and that the previous longest one had 101 posts, so thanks to all here for providing me with an impressive statistic!
This is entirely off topic I know, but I just thought I'd mention it.

You are welcome.

Do you want us to keep making it longer for you?

Yes, I once heard that the royal family called Princess Anne's former husband Mark Phillips "Fog" because he was "thick and wet."
