For my part, I'm pleased that our modest contribution is substantial enough to be considered one of the waves! I look forward to following up with the other threads.

I'm a little surprised, but not displeased, that my book review is still making waves in the ether. I've contributed a couple of posts on the timbosplace thread; interested readers may want to follow them up. John Sloas contributed higher up on that thread, but he hasn't responded to my remarks — and perhaps doesn't want to. Fine by me.
The link to the critique of Plantinga is no longer operative, but you can find one that works here.
Best,
Tim

I did read the comments on the post (very lengthy). Keith DeRose states it well when he says that rhetoric like “moron” is counter-productive and crosses over a line. But by linking to the review, you seem to endorse this kind of rhetoric. Perhaps you don't endorse it since I have not witnessed it on your blog.
In terms of your question

One of the reasons I like this post is because, toward the end, the aforementioned Keith DeRose takes Tim McGrew (the reviewer) to task for just the reasons you mention. McGrew's response, if I remember correctly, is that there are certain situations in which that kind of language is warranted. I don't wish to take a stand on that particular issue, but I am curious as to where on this blog you've found similar examples of unpleasantness and lack of charity?

Did they have minds to begin with?” is mean-spirited. I'm not defending the book (I haven't read it), but this kind of rhetoric does not encourage dialogue or an exchange of ideas. It is bashing other people and it is one of the reasons I find your blog unpleasant and uncharitable at times.
