> And now you are goneHold your horses, there's trickery to the rescue (lest you delete), but the quote about "people who have to deal with black employees" escaped my attention indeed. So yes, that can be rephrased your way--my bad indeed, foul-mouthing was unwarranted--at least to that extend, as blogging about kicking freaking asses and surmising Watson to be a moron is, well, whatever. That quote surely is, which I excuse with the occasional imbecility of even smart people. Case in point, as you must see it, your peers Razib and Jason Malloy, who discussed the topic not sharing your assessments, though they kept their cool unlike the old man. Besides, you didn't engage when comments where open and I can't find heated debate later on. How come?> nickname trollingBelieve it or not--no nickname, just a M. where you opted for a Z.

One more data point on “Oh, look. I can diminish you by using a nickname” trolling.

Watson argues with the Bell curve, so he'd say, if asked such moronic question, that there's a non trivial chance that his black cleaning lady's IQ is lower than her average white or east Asian collegue's,Actually, it was not a hypothetical. He said it.I can't believe they let you blog here. Is there a quota? Say, for tards, as they're human, too--undisputedly? And now you are gone.

Steph, do you bother to write a paper when confronting a conspiracy theorist (which Greg may or may not be, that's not the point)? Don't you think it's economical to hawk on the most blatant bull (as you see it), let the nut, er, worthy opponent answer and go on from there, should that answer suggest provenance from living matter?btw: for the east Asian colleague it should be a difference of two standard deviations, for what it's worth. Wouldn't want the Gregster to tear my arse apart when he dons the advocatus diaboli cape. Even btwayer: my behind happens to be lily-white, though I posit that my genetic distance to Mr Watson's presumed cleaning wife should not be so distant as for her not to qualify as my sister, too, in that high-spirited sense Mr Laden refers to. Isn't it, Gregoire?

Wow, M. Way to focus on a single sentence in a comment to invalidate the post! Do you have to practice that, or is it a natural skill? And are there classes available in ignoring the ignoring the post while you do it, because that was an amazing feat of pretending the Watson quotes on race aren’t all about how their skin color dooms them.

So I’m late here.> He is telling us that his cleaning lady is> stupid because she is blackFair representation of the opponent’s view is basal for scientific inquiry. Watson argues with the Bell curve, so he’d say, if asked such moronic question, that there’s a non trivial chance that his black cleaning lady’s IQ is lower than her average white or east Asian collegue’s, and, if so, with a non trivial chance that it’s a difference of one standard deviation. He’ll agree that she might be a genius well above 130 as well, as the Bell curve predicts there are such people in every major human group, though not in equal distribution. He’ll add though the obvious: if over par, she probably had better use of her time than to hoover his carpets.I can’t believe they let you blog here. Is there a quota? Say, for tards, as they’re human, too–undisputedly? Have you shamed someone into looking the other way when you blather? Both Watson and the Bell curve might be wrong, but the assertion above shows that you wouldn’t possibly know. When and where did Razib tear your arse apart on this issue? Or where you, um, streetwise enough at least not to ask for his input?

I meant Razib at gene expression, especially his original website, which he links to
