Fisking

The Observer defines Fisking as "This is the practice of savaging an argument and scattering the tattered remnants to the four corners of the internet" so I think we need a new word to describe quite how utterly eviscerated this press release from Durham has been by Ben Goldacre.

I thought that was known as doing a Lenski on someone.

Doh! Looks like that link got swallowed somewhere. Should have been http://www.badscience.net/2008/06/all-time-classic-creationist-pwnage/.

yeah! I appreciate you giving this useful information. I'm now working on a paper that requires me to conduct an interview with the author of a recently published book. I want to make it clear that your blog post—particularly the information you have provided here—will be a good addition to my paper. I'm a writer at the writing service fresh essay.net, and I think you have a lot of writing talent!
