"That's the official Amazon book blog, btw, not my personal blog."
Thanks for the correction, Jeff, and for the info on the commenter: it's kind of a relief to find I'm not the only one who suffers from him!
"the one Amazon review of your book that sneakily tried to disguise itself as being reasonable"
The one by the guy who applauds me for correcting misimpressions about Galileo and Bruno and then goes into a long rant about how I should have given a free ride to the "Darwin doubters", you mean? I hadn't seen that one until just now.
There was one other critical reviewer who had genuine difficulties with some of the "faith" aspects of that book, Discarded Science, but he spelled out why in a perfectly reasonable fashion so I had no objections at all to his comments. He seems to have removed his review, though -- which is a pity, as perhaps it might have served as an example to other "faith-based readers" that when you seek to review books you should actually, like, review them.
