Besides PZ's abhorrent behavior and the casual indifference with which the word "rape" is being tossed around, I am also disgusted by the number of people that are acting as if the burden of proof lies with the accused, and how many are ready to lynch Shermer while branding anyone that reminds them not to be so hasty as a rape defender. Even more disgusting is that many of these people are the same ones that believe they are for gender equality.

It's just stupidity every which way you look.

If you disagree with them, they block you. That's why every comment that you see is unquestioningly loyal to whatever is said on FtB. Well... assuming that the post hasn't yet been seen by the blogger (and dealt with).

PZ Myers refers to this as his Banhammer. I think that he sees himself as Thor, with his Banhammer being his godly weapon of destruction. Of course, he can't use his weapon at conventions, so accusations of sexual misconduct will have to do, instead.
