I could quote John Loftus: “I did it…It was me!” But in this case, it’s not accurate. No, our good buddy T-Stone managed to get punk’d by himself using my latest post (the Triablogue version)…which in reality I didn’t even write!
That’s right, T-Stone managed to ignore the constant references to the Debunkers and (despite the fact that T-Stone posts comments on that blog too) he completely forgot the wondrous writing style employed by a specific Debunker. Frankly, I don’t see how it’s possible for someone who’s read the Debunkers (as T-Stone has) to be incapable of reading phrases like “mouthpieces of madness”, “two of the scummiest men on our planet”, or “every dimwitted idealist is right in his own thinking” and not immediately think, That sounds exactly like Joe Holman!
That’s right. My previous post was nothing more than Joe Holman’s post with the subjects, adverbs, and adjectives changed. You see, I entertained a notion of refuting Holman’s post for about 12.8 seconds before I realized that simply turning it back on itself did the job for me. Holman is his own self-parody…he just doesn’t realize it.
That was really my only intention, to put this silliness back on Holman. Little did I know that T-Stone would so willing run into the scene, arms flailing madly about, as he engaged his typical care and consideration in responding, as all Buddhistic-Christians do, to perceived attacks on atheists. Naturally, T-Stone unwittingly was attacking Holman, thinking he was attacking me. It could be that maybe T-Stone didn’t read Holman’s post (indeed, most people who see that the by-line is “Joe E. Holman” immediately ignore the post completely), but even those on the Christian side who hadn’t read Holman’s original post immediately saw it was satirical and a parody. T-Stone was the only one who seemingly missed this.
Naturally, T-Stone might be upset by this, thinking it rather petty that he be punk’d. I agree that it is petty. I think T-Stone should be ashamed of himself for punking himself the way he did. It made him, and (by association) Buddhistic-Christianity, look bad.
