See, I wrote this post about who’s angry, about Guy White and his complete ignorance on the study he referred to, his ignorane on evo psych, on biology, on sociology etc etc. He did not even allow a pingback to his post. Instead he posted a comment containing [...]

And I’m not even kidding. A google search for Simona Halep, a Romanian tennis player, will drag out enough muck that I won’t be linking any of it here. Most of them are writing the same thing anyway.
