I won't be deleting that comment despite the profanity, because I want to have it all on the record--the record of what now happens at ScienceBlogs if you say certain thing that people don't want to hear.

Randy Olson of course knows this, because he's, like, a filmmaker. But go ahead, ignore Olson. Keep on firing inward. Beat up on me. Call me (the author of The Republican War on Science) a creationist. This abuse will not stop me from continuing to call for serious introspection about the massive communication crisis we're facing in the science world.
