I see some of the reaction to WrongBot as greater evidence of emotional involvement by people other than WrongBot.

For example, people's emotional involvement with Malthus's assertion that human populations increase at an exponential rate absent limits on resources :) ?

ADDED. I retract this comment since (I now realize) PJ wrote some of the reaction, and obviously I cannot refute what PJ wrote by listing instances in which the reaction was justified on rational grounds.
