I have not looked until now to see if anyone paid any attention to what I, admittedly in a very angry mood, posted here at the time, but googling around I see here that at least someone did, and maybe I did not go far enough:

On groklaw.net, there was a “let us go through what he wrote” post by a “tiger99″ that took the Oehmen piece apart. But be aware that tiger’s rebuttal was written a couple of days ago, and things have changed–all to the further discredit of Oehmen.

I am no psychologist, but for those who are, this and many other events on the web must teach us something about how people seemingly like to write absolute drivel, and how references to it spread rapidly. There might be enough material there for a few PhDs, at least.
