Maybe the Davidson folks could write a script to automatically lock any threads started by articles by right wing cranks, racists, and academic frauds like Charles Murray...
I like Charles Murray quite a bit. In some cases he has exposed some truths through data analysis that people find uncomfortable. He explains his data analysis methods, and you can decide for yourself whether he performed the analysis correctly. In other cases, he asserts some opinions (e.g. the importance of religion in society) that I may not agree with, but it is easy to tell what is opinion and what is the result of his research.
But since you mentioned academic frauds, you were probably thinking of Murray's adversary, Stephen Jay Gould, the late Harvard professor who wrote the Mismeasure of Man in response to The Bell Curve. His fraudulent approach to analyzing the data has been roundly criticized in the NY Times, Nature, Scientific American, etc.
