Ten Things I "Learned" from the Blogosphere

Yes, those quotation marks are intentional. This could just as well be called Ten Ways the Blogosphere Tried to Pull the Wool over My Eyes:

1. Correlation is not causation.
   
2. Yeah, but the very same criticism could be made of your side.
   
3. Extraordinary bla-bla requires extraordinary bla-bla-bla.
   
4. Correlation is not causation.
   
5. All the saints are always on the same side of center.
   
6. If you're not morally perfect, then you're a hypocrite.
   
7. Everyone in the conversation must always be taken with utmost seriousness; well, except for my opponents.
   
8. Libertarianism is beyond question.
   
9. Answer my argument, or I can make your head explode!
   
10. Correlation is not causation.
