All we need is a Bayesian Maysian filter to separate the wheat from the (racist | deranged | anarchist | readthearchives) chaff. On a related note, is it possible that Tim has syphillis and it went to his brain? His earlier work was certainly insightful, well thought-out, and useful. His later writings, generally useless and irritating though they were, still had occasional relevance. Poor Tim, sharing Nietzsche's fate.
