Will Scienceblogs.com follow in the brilliant footsteps of WordPress.com? When non-doctor doctor Christopher Maloney whined when I called him not a doctor on FTSOS, WordPress shut me down for two days without an explanation (shoot first, ask questions later!). So I wonder if Scienceblogs will do the same thing to PZ Myers?
A doctor in Texas was peddling herbal crap on the side, got reported, and retaliated by charging the whistleblowers with a crime. Oh, well…at least we can console ourselves with the idea that he wasn’t really a doctor, but just a fraud with an M.D.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! He can’t say that a doctor isn’t really a doctor! That’s libel!
Wait.
Wait.
That’s right. It would be moronic to think it was libel. More importantly, PZ noted the guy had a degree and was credentialed under state law, but that that’s irrelevant to a good definition of what a doctor is. It’s almost like I can read basic English! So,
Dear WordPress and non-doctor doctor Christopher Maloney,
If you would like a detailed explanation of how to analyze PZ’s post, please leave a comment below. If you would like a bonus explanation of how this relates to what I said, I will be glad to help you out.
Also, Chris, please stop “treating” patients.
~Yours,
English departments and scientists everywhere
