... Because one poster is ignorant of the history and contribution of RA (or just plain a dumb-arse), I fail to see why the rest of us should be lumped-in and labeled as the “Purveyors of Unknowledge.” ...

What I actually wrote was this:

"But there is another segment of people on these threads who, instead of asking these learned folks intelligent questions and thus expanding their knowledge and understanding, insist instead upon bludgeoning them with their ignorance, and questioning the patriotism, honesty, and intellect of people who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of scientific knowledge."

IOW, I never said that ALL who doubt science in general and Evolutionary Theory in particular were "Purveyors of Unknowledge" -- just the ones who behaved in the manner I described in the essay. If you didn't behave that way, good for you; you're off the hook.

I hope that clarified my point.

You did and it was wrong for me to assume otherwise. Thanks for the reply.

I'm glad to see that you've appointed yourself to be the judge of this. I'm also glad that I'm off the hook!
