:I also like your point about trusting experts in science.  To some extent, this is necessary -- I'm not sure I have any personal reason to believe in the germ theory of disease, much less general relativity: I'm just taking someone's word for it.  Obviously how much we should trust the experts on a particular subject depends on a lot of things.  I bet some philosopher of science has thought hard about this -- I'd be interested to read the results! --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 00:33, 7 October 2009 (EDT) (hope I didn't forget to respond to anything!)

Mark, I'm concerned about this.  Just because a user appears to be a parodist, doesn't mean they deserve an automatic block.  We need proof, and this user just seems to be a normal user.  What made you think they were a parodist?  And what made you SURE enough of it to block them?
