That quack, Christopher Maloney, has written to me now…with a nice little edge of hysteria and paranoia.
Let the witch trials begin! Michael Hawkins and Rev. Myers presiding
Dear "Reverend" PZ Meyers,
How fitting that, three hundred years later, the witch trials continue. If you recall, it was…
Maloney is a naturopath in the state of Maine, where quacks like him get to call themselves "doctors". These so-called "doctors" get to make recommendations like this, in which he disparages standard flu vaccines and suggests these useless prescriptions:
Parents waiting for vaccinations can provide…
The Prime Quack has been identified: Andreas Moritz. He has admitted to getting Wordpress to pull Michael Hawkins' blog, and is also threatening me, now.
Michael Hawkins,
You may blame me for having your blog pulled. WorldPress had to remove your blog because otherwise it would have faced a hefty…
What is it with cranks and trying to shut down criticism?
I know, I know. I've written about this before, but this week has been a banner week for a phenomenon that I consider a sine qua non of a crank or a quack, namely an intolerance of criticism. Seemingly, whenever a quack or a crank encounters…
You have your hoard, PZ, and Mike has the leftovers. Is that your hoard of diamonds?
OK, so he confuses "horde" with "hoard," I'm delighted that the fraud didn't prevail.

Bout F-ing time!
(Still with the Google name - Michael Hawkins)
Thank you.
Take that, quacks.
Gah. I was reading some of his top posts and the comments, and he was surrounded by stupid. The comments were all defending quackery.

Yes, it was quite an impressive display.
Also, the nesting of the posts got screwy when I imported all my posts, so things appear out of order now. The same post on my other blog shows them appropriately.
Perhaps Wordpress has realized that Michael Hawkins is not a quack!
Yeah, Mike! You go girl!
This one scared me a bit. It was just so random, and Wordpress is where I have my blog. Is a simple accusation all it takes to remove someone's work? Pathetic.
I do wonder what the official explanation is? I'll have to check.

Good news at last.
Keep up the good work, Michael.
That's good news - I wrote a friendly* email to Wordpress after I heard about it, so... you're welcome
:)
*meaning blunt, sans curse words.
It's good to see that they came to their senses (Wordpress, that is), but it scares me that they can simply cut someone off like that with what seems like no warning. Even if you own your own domain, your host might succumb to the same pressures; so we simply have to make sure to balance the pressure as much as we can.
What?! Aren't they risking a long and expensive legal battle with Andreas Moritz and his good friend Deepak Chopra? MADNESS!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
And Andreas Moritz can go and get fucked!
Nah, he shouldn't be so lucky.
Still get the Asshat of the Month(c) award for removing it on a specious claim by a quack.
