I quite like Cult of Dusty for his commitment to science and logic, but man, does he have to so gratuitously depend upon expletives to make his points? Maybe it's just me; maybe I'm just getting old; but I still can't help but think that those who use vulgarity in their presentations of arguments do so because their position is weak. This has been a common complaint of Richard Carrier's work, and I think in many instances it rings true (look no further than his deplorable treatment of 11QMelchizedek for proof of that).

In the few videos I have seen of Dusty I tend to agree with most of what he argues, but this is deeply in spite of his turrets-inspired presentation. Just make your points without coming across like a ######; I think it helps to make them all the more convincing.
