I genuinely haven't looked at the site since the brief period when I was on it, I really don't have the time or the inclination to wade through that level of hysterical bile on a daily basis.Dean Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15054744507490592341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440286750138199044.post-52655631917669935842010-11-17T13:17:41.867-08:002010-11-17T13:17:41.867-08:00Don't know if you noticed, but after me and a ...Don't know if you noticed, but after me and a kiwi calling himself "punkscientist" spoke up in your defense, the whole site is now down.<br /><br />I'm not saying the two are related, but I think it's funny.Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440286750138199044.post-66989483148197427152010-11-05T19:31:30.020-07:002010-11-05T19:31:30.020-07:00@ Shalashar

I have to say you're a braver man than I for going up against the the hardline animal rights groups. <br /><br />I agree with your comparison between them and the pro-life movement, tbh I'd never really considered the parallels, but the site you point to "negotiation is over" really does read like a US based far right "pro-life" group. <br /><br />Thankyou for providing such a thought provoking, not to mention amusing post and follow up.Shalasharnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440286750138199044.post-53937573755001807652010-10-30T15:24:46.928-07:002010-10-30T15:24:46.928-07:00SCREW YOU, ANIMAL MURDE-- oh wait, I got rather ca...SCREW YOU, ANIMAL MURDE-- oh wait, I got rather caught up in the moment there. Thank you, Dean, for a couple of hugely intelligent and enlightening blog posts. Animal testing is something I try not to think of, in the same way I don't like to think of where my meat comes from, but actually your humour, self-deprecation and carefully balanced reason is a credit to your profession. Cracking stuff. And stay strong: the internet is full of loose talk from bored loners who like to swear a lot at computer screens because it's easier than getting to grips with their own sense of self-loathing.Fat Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374906684948810408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440286750138199044.post-66280439920994848672010-10-30T11:42:12.392-07:002010-10-30T11:42:12.392-07:00@NC

Any chance you have access to just your portion, perhaps in an embeddable player? I'd love to feature it on medium-sized co-blog (and my own extremely small-time one, as well).<br /><br />(There is, of course, no profit in this for either you or me, except the chance to spread your voice a little wider.)<br /><br />Excellent piece - something I've been saying for years, altough without your insider view.Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.com
