With regard to busted link, which one and how so? Did you mean Provod’s site? I took a brief look at his site, which is laid out like a book. I’ve seen several pseudo/woo sites like this over the years. It’s an interesting phenomenon and enough to make one wonder where the line between crank and non-crank site truly is.

also, your link from your more recent post about the psudo-sci is busted :/

Instead, it occurred to me that I would simply be opening myself up to that tired argument that skeptics are “oppressing” the nuts and cranks who call their views on science “alternative” (as if there is an alternative way of knowing that makes sense for such things).

So, what I plan to do is start a separate blog post, based on Provod’s comment, and I’ll submit it to the upcoming Skeptic’s Circle for their amusement and comment.

I’ll finish that post tonight then edit this comment with a hyperlink.

Edit: Here’s the link to the response to Provod -who never returned, btw.
