Then Springer over at UD posted my home address and telephone. I sent an email to Bill, and that information was edited shortly after.

At this juncture, it looks like the only thing that can save Dembski's career is that almost nobody ever reads his blog any more.

Or even cares about his sorry snit. Anecdotal evidence - I am at a book festival in Columbus OH, where Elizabeth is reading and I am hobnobbing with Ohio folks and writers. During one of the sessions this morning I happened to sit down next to a woman who teaches at Baylor. After a polite period of time exchanging pleasantries about the joys of teaching at Big 12 institutions, I asked the question that was foremost on my mind - "Have you heard anything about the controversy involving the Baylor administration shutting down an intelligent design website that one of their engineering faculty members set up?"  Her response - "Nope.

djmullen Posts: 327 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Sep. 15 2007,13:39    Possible defense: Dembski: We put the Regent's home addresses and phone numbers on the Uncommon Descent web site, where we knew only two dozen decent Christian people would ever read it.  But then the godless atheists started telling everybody about it and handing out our URL and all hell broke loose.

Melissa felt her heart race. Thoughts rushed into her mind: “We're not married ..... I hardly know him.... what if my parents find out?... What if I stay?.... What if I say no?” One thought kept coming kick: “But this is Steve Branson!"  She knew that many of her friends would have jumped at the chance to spend the night with him. -------------- "I am not currently proving that objective morality is true.
