First off, if you took this as a scold you will definitely have plugs (or cotton, take your pick) in your ears. You won't listen to anything I have to say now because you will be on the defensive.. I'm not scolding you, I'm just telling you that your opinion of someone takes away from what you're trying to prove objectively. Lastly, how can you compare introducing someone (which I have done) with namecalling? I don't know where you're coming from LadyShea. Can you see the dynamics going on here?

Telling me what I should or shouldn't do regarding expressing my opinions about people is a scold. You are still scolding me. You are telling me to mind my manners or play nice or some shit.
You are just mad that I think the people you agree with and use to support your positions are mostly assholes and cranks. In fact you originally brought up Sam Harris thinking we might care about his opinion more because he is "one of us"...you hoped our
positive opinion of a fellow atheist would help your argument. I don't think you truly care that I am namecalling, I think you are upset that you can't find anyone credible and/or widely respected that seems to support your views.
