The usually mild-mannered, shy, and retiring PZ Myers has apparently taken offense at my recent decision to abjure pointless and destructive political blog spats. What can I do but shake my head sadly and make sure I have sufficient panko and lemon?

Update: I reconsider.

Note:Many old comments were lost in a database crash in 2008. Some conversations may seem to make less sense than they would have. A few will make more sense now.

   WAAGNCSDN (We Are All Giant Nuclear Crispy Squid Dinner Now!)

   Looks yummy - can I have some? (Probably vain and futile attempt at wangling dinner invitation…)

   What else can you do? You can make sure your Pino Grigio is sufficiently chilled, or at least have a crisp hand-crafted lager on hand. Buon appetito!

   What you really must do is share. Squid are not reluctant to gnaw on each other, and I’m not shy about eating them.

   PZ beat me to it, but threatening images of squid-as-food wouldn’t faze him. Cephalodpod cannibalism will only make him hungrier.

   Huh. I think this “spat” has been contrived to increase both bloggers’ traffic. Sort of a squid pro quo.

    Ah, that Rob G. He’s always as nautilus he wants to be.

    ...and I’m not shy about eating them.

    Well here you go, then.
