Interestingly, while the post header says it was posted this month, I am 
*sure* I have both seen this argument, and much of the text, other 
places, which is why I said it was linked to before. Maybe the guy is 
just channeling some of out discussions. The, "I am atheist about 
unicorns too", statement is fairly common on PZ's site. More than a few 
times its been stated that we wouldn't be bothered by people that led by 
example, instead of by obnoxiousness. And, we *have* discussed why this 
approach is still not going to work. One of his own post responders even 
said why, that appealing to our logic isn't going to work, when logic 
doesn't support the underlying presumption being defended, from any 
perspective that doesn't, on some level, presume it to start with.

I was absolutely sure I had seen that post linked to before... Hmm. 
Maybe it appeared in some form some place else.
