A few years ago I figured it would be a matter of time before this blog would end up on Scienceblogs. While that hasn't happened, it seems like the teen turned young undergrad has scored the next best thing.
MENTAL NOTE: Always take a moment to read the blog in question before giving it any kind of feedback...
Aside from the first two comments, this is the main one where I highlight my biggest criticism of the post in question, as well as Homologous Legs in general...

"Charged rhetoric, bold sweeping conclusions and cursory analysis? Where have I heard those
things before? Surely not from Casey Luskin, the King of Bloated Rhetoric! My irony meter
melted."
Interesting...
"It’s not “outlandish rhetoric” if it’s true."
"Again, it’s not outlandish if it’s true."
"It’s descriptive and rather accurate, I think."
"I see no outlandish rhetoric here."
"...but, again, it’s hardly outlandish."
"Nothing bad here, just accurate and calm descriptors of Behe’s definitions. Note that the
authors do spend the majority of the paper backing up these specific claims, so they’re
hardly throwaway lines used for argumentative purposes only." (how?)
"It’s emotive and not all that defensible, but again, not outlandish by any stretch of the
imagination."
"Again, that’s rather light stuff. Nothing to get worked up over."

Comments that aren't encrypted with my key and are also digitally signed with sender's own key go to the trash. I might skim them for lulz though...
This is the policy given to me by Janus. They don't agree with my views, but since they are willing to protect my real identity this is the least I can do in return.
Crypto-IDEA WA: Don't waste your time here. We have a far more cryptographically secure outpost than this one...
