I would be torn by this. While I love to see these guys get their own mud thrown on them, I wonder if giving him the publicity is worth the effort. He doesn’t care what anybody says or thinks of him and the attention he will get from this is more to his narcissistic benefit than warranted.

I was particularly taken with the woman who was a former creationist (I’m horrible with names) and talked about her own experience and how she was motivated by fear of going to Hell if she didn’t believe correctly. I’ve often seen fundies as pridefully and willfully ignorant. Could it be that their ignorance isn’t so much prideful as it is fearful?
