Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you have to accuse him of things and put him down

I'm not sure what you're referring to but I actually don't have a side.  I'm more amused by the everlasting (sometime not so) silent battle between Slifkin and R Meiselman.

It's hard to take the book seriously knowing that Meiselmann has such dislike for Slifkin.

I wouldn't think that would affect his views on the issues.

On another point, CMIIW but wasn't one of the major objections to Slifkin, not so much the content of the books, but simply his discussion of issues/difficulties that could lead the reader to question his/her beliefs.   If so, how is this different?

The rebuttal to Slifkin.  Anyone buy it/read it? Any reviews?
Just finished it. Amazing book IMO.
