It's kind of sad she has to start to by making statements that could be
calculated to tarnish one group of skeptics; it's as if to say, I can
sling insults as good as the next guy, so don't sling them at me, sling
them at those other guys. Weird...

Among other things, her WP article has been vandalized (I won't link
