Thank you for your insight!
Gee. I think we could have done very well without that "editorial."
Indeed, it is just those kinds of unnecessary condemnations which reflect poorly on the speaker (whichever side he is on). We read something like that in Hawking's lecture on imaginery time where he took several swipes at young earth creationists which were completely unnecessary and detracted from his material. Ditto for Pinker. But it is never right to respond "in kind" for something which was wrong to begin with. IMHO, the general public is always "turned off" by bickering - thus, the first side to master the diplomacy always has the upper hand.
