There are some people in this world who do such a good job of discrediting themselves you need hardly bother. I refer you to the public attack on Dr. Glenn Reynolds by a Mr. Mark Modzelewski.
I double checked the impression given by his writing with a physicist friend who runs into him on a regular basis and will for political reasons remain anonymous. “The guy is a PR Flack” and “He knows nothing” were perhaps the kindest remarks I heard, and this is from deep within the ranks of people Mark deals with.
So I’m a Drexlerian by his lights? I find that a label to be proud of.
At least I can pronounce it.
With his hyperbolic rhetoric, fondness for ad hominem attacks, and ability to spout nonsense in the face of obvious contrary evidence, there is only one comparison for Mr. M — he is the Baghdad Bob of nanotechnology!
I can almost hear him saying “Allah will roast the stomachs of the drexlerites!”
What a weirdo. How do people like that get jobs in PR? How do they get jobs, period?
