the hitchens thing

[rone]

To me, it's just like a classic flame on Usenet: biased but factual takedowns combined with good ol'-fashioned ad hominems aimed at a target who's been asking for this sort of erudite, yet opportunistic, invective. It is entertaining even if it is light on content.

Heh. Yeah, the whole thing at this point, to me, reads like a good old-fashioned flamewar. Invective with style.

Possibly a silly question, but what Hitchen's thing? :)
