He can't deny that Acharya writes about them, and he appears too embarrassed to discuss the topic. Apparently even quoting Acharya herself on the topic is smearing her.
Pygmies? Will do
Though i think it may cause the person to have a seizure or something
If your "Thor" isn't "Freethinkaluva" et al then he's simply another one of the drone-like hive mind that is http://www.truthbeknown.com - the treehouse club for "Acharya S" acolytes. He's certainly using all the standard Acharya Disciple responses: "you haven't even read her books", "you're just a Christian", "you're a jealous atheist", "Robert Price and two other nobodies said one of her books was good so she's academically respectable" etc etc.
I must say that ex-christians.net forum you linked to isn't exactly a hotbed of informed analysis either though. There's some really crappy stuff there and it seems to be largely a pooling of ignorance where almost anything and everything that's anti-Christian is seized on as "the TRUTH!". The fact that the "Acharya" stuff can't get traction even there is testimony to how totally kooky it is.
