Much of the point of the post was to complain about inexplicably bad ad copy, which presumably wasn't part of the deal PZ signed on to. It's a little unfair to blame an entire group for what was presumably the mistake of one or two idiots, but the frustration is understandable.
There was some C. S. Lewis-bashing without so much as even a reference to Beversluis's critique.
Don't overlook comment #27 by Myers himself:
PZM: Actually, I find Menuge so irrelevant and clueless that I plan to go in and talk about just neuroscience. I can't believe he'll be so foolish as to wander in and start babbling about C.S. Lewis...but then, I have been surprised by the depths of absurdity to which Disco Boys will sink before.
I see nothing but horse laughs on the entire thread. The attitudes reflected here are just cannon fodder for Ben Stein, so far as I am concerned.

Was this debate recorded as an audio or video file? If so, is it available anywhere?
I haven't found out about any audio file or recording. But then they just had the debate!
Vic,
