Jen McCreight has published a solid response to the clueless anti-atheist article in Ms magazine…and it's in Ms magazine. It's good stuff, too, with a list of all the godless women the original article ought to have consulted.

I'm jealous. Jen McCreight is on the Savage Love podcast. She chews him out for a lack of skepticism, too.
Jen McCreight is participating in that masochistic exercise in prolonged blogging called Blogathon, all to raise money for charity. Take a look, donate if you can, at least give her a little sympathy.
As you know, we're having a little contest to raise money for Camp Quest, and we've been competing to see who can raise the most money for a good cause.
Tune in Sunday morning at 9am Central time to Atheist Talk radio, where Jen McCreight will be warming up the Minnesota crowd for her grand tour of the state the week after next.
Reading through the thread in question, I have to disagree with your description of events.
You start by asserting that the Industrial Revolution was an example of an elite being more productive that the general population.
This is immediately followed by several requests to back up that assertion.
This is followed by three posts where you first reassert that you're right, then respond to a different point, and finally complain about the tone of the thread.
Several more posts follow that directly question your central assertion (with arguments, not insults) and instead of responding, you complain about how mean everyone is.
Now, it's a long thread and I just scanned it quickly, so maybe I missed the part where you provided evidence for your assertions. If so, please provide a link to it.
As it is, the situation is as follows: you made an assertion, it was questioned, you refused to back it up. When people called you on that behaviour, you whined about it.
