What's that old saying, "Guilt by association?"

But seriously, there are some extremely vocal trolls over at ScienceBlogs and it's sad that their actions cast a negative light on all of the great things that do go on over there.  I really don't care what euphemism they use to describe their actions.  Trolling is reprehensible and I don't know why the more even keeled sciblings don't speak out against the 4 or 5 people that are giving everyone else a bad name.  Evie is not the only person in the world that thinks ScienceBlogs is a troll haven, so don't come down on her too hard.

@Jason, so are you saying that I've done something to bring the clique's wrath upon me?  I think they just see me as an easy target.  It's always fun to pick on the new kid in school.

I also think you guys are being a little rough on King Jacob.  He mispoke.  Cut him some slack.  I'll admit I did a double take when I read his 'lower cost of entry' comment, but I think he's more than explained himself.  Some psychology really is bullshit (See Rift's post on Parapsychology).  Can you imagine if we came down as hard on GR about his grammar as you guys have come down on Jacob??  We'd probably never see another GenomicRepairMOM skit.

Also, I see your "Guilt by association" and raise you a "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" :-)
