Sorry for the intemperate headline, but while thinking about Stephen Fry’s response to sensitive souls who take offense at every little thing, it seemed to me to be aposite for Stephen Lenski’s reponse to Andrew Schlafly’s particularly stupid queries over Lenski’s research. As Lenski says,

Ridicule is the best weapon against these IDiots, I’m sure.
Update: Here’s the complete exchange between Schlafly and Lenski for your delectation.
