The current discussion threads of free will on FFL began with tartbrain's post of a portion of a blog article by Sam Harris. Harris has added an additional post on his blog as the response to what he wrote was somewhat intense. He wrote:
'My last post on free will elicited a very heated response. Many readers sent emails questioning my sanity, and several asked to be permanently removed from my mailing list.
