Professor Refuses Letters of Recommendation to Creationist Students

How he actually found a back door to get his posts onto the server after his banning is a side issue.

Reminds me of the time I was innocently shopping for ammo on the web, and next thing you know, there I was in the top secret chat room with the Joint Chief of Staff, as they were reviewing their final battle plans for Iraq. I have know idea how it happened. These things are a mystery. Wasn't my fault, honest!

[Jael]

He used the redirtect function in Eudora. I know just how it works. I used it often when I woked for Ambassador Keyes. Why you continue to insist that something nefarious happened is only showing your true motives. Avoiding the fact that evolution is one big fraud.

<< when you suggested that people who consider the Book of Genesis to be allegorical rather than literal to be on the verge of promoting pedophilia. >>

That's a big enough stretch to make Gumby envious of you. Ever consider a job as a circus contortionist?

<< How he actually found a back door to get his posts onto the server after his banning is a side issue. >>

I didn't find any back door. After I sent the post, the "back door" found *it*. That was out of my control and not my intention. I sent it to the individuals, I had no intention of using the list server to do that, I didn't need the list server to do that.

[VadeRetro]

I sent it to the individuals ...

Who seem to have been universally unthrilled. Didn't getting booted from the forum give you a clue? They heard you enough already.

You're that junk caller who won't stop calling, the stalker who defies the court orders to stay away.

[PatrickHenry]

Finding the back door is easy for some people:

As for the rest of the folks here, the record can speak for itself, and they can make up their own minds...

It does, and we have.....

Carry on, general......

[general_re]

An entire group of people? No, just you.

The theory of evolution is cast as a lie and a fraud, but no, that's not supposed to be a reflection on the people who accept it or support it. The language you use castigates and smears by its very use, and yet you claim your hands are clean in so doing.

Priceless. Thank you. Now I finally have the last piece of the puzzle for my book, which I expect will be the definitive work on the death of critical thinking in America, and may God continue to save us from ourselves...

Have you gone completely mad? Can you really have forgotten your very own post 756, where we were all treated to such exegeses as

Is your system of morality so unstable that you cannot know if murder, pedophilia, and rape are right or wrong each day without checking the Congressional Review and Supreme Court rulings each morning?

or

When Hillary gets into office and enacts the rest of her "child rights" program, and the age of consent is lowered - will that make what the Catholic priests are doing to their altar boys suddenly acceptable? Is what they've done right or wrong? How can you possibly say it's wrong now, but might be right in a few years? That's a "standard"?

Have you completely forgotten your very own post 772, where we came to know and love such awesome logic as could produce

If you are an evolutionist, you are un-American. You have no foundation for the rights we enjoy because they were endowed on us by our Creator. If you have no Creator, you have no unalienable rights.

and

If you deny creation by the Creator, you deny the basis for your rights as an American.

Oh, no you don't. You posted those words, and now you can live with them - I think I'm right on target with my reading of your very words as you have posted them. Deny Genesis as a literal account of creation, and you have no basis to consider things like pedophilia to be wrong. Deny Genesis as a literal account of creation, and you're positively un-American.

But God knows, that's no smear. God knows, that's not a personal attack. Bravo to you, sir - you shall have your eternal reward for doing the Lord's work, no doubt...

<< Oh, no you don't. You posted those words, and now you can live with them >>

I will live with the words *I* posted, but not the words YOU posted:

<< you suggested that people who consider the Book of Genesis to be allegorical rather than literal to be on the verge of promoting pedophilia. >>

I did say they were un-American - and gave the references to prove it. I did say they had an unstable morality and had no absolute basis to determine right from wrong (and nobody has shown otherwise). I did say they had no foundation or basis for their morality, and thereby had no grounds on which to say things like pedophilia are wrong - but I did not say that those who take Genesis allegorically are on the verge of promoting pedophilia. I only suggested they had no absolute basis from which to fight it, and neither you, nor anyone else, has offered any.

<< Deny Genesis as a literal account of creation, and you have no basis to consider things like pedophilia to be wrong. >>

Your words again, but those are much closer. If you have such a basis, please divulge it, or admit you have none.

[general_re]

If you have such a basis, please divulge it, or admit you have none.

No, thank you - rather than reward your basic hypocrisy by playing your fool's game, I prefer to simply highlight it for the world to see. You smear those who disagree with you, claim the sanction of the Lord for it, and then complain that you're being smeared by others. It's rather too bad that you've abandoned the notion of saints as intercessors - you appear to be sorely needing one about now...

[Con X-Poser]

X: If you have such a basis, please divulge it, or admit you have none.

Re: No, thank you ...

I expected another game of dodge ball that would impress Bill Clinton out of you. I was not dissapointed.

Are straight answers against your religion?

[PatrickHenry]

PatrickHenry remains aloof.

[general_re]

And reward your hypocrisy? No thanks. You smear others, claim the sanction of the Lord for it, and then have the temerity to complain that you are being smeared. If you can't understand that you have no claim to the moral high ground in this, after my best efforts to explain, I cannot help you. You will understand someday, I think.

Yeah, anything but deal with the issue. Make ad hominem attacks, evade, avoid, dodge, and dance better than Michael Jackson and Michael Flatley combined.

It seems once your side got caught with your pants down, pretending that Futuyma's book didn't include Hackel's forgeries - when it DID, you've resorted to nothing but laying down smoke. That included misrepresenting me as well, but I am not the issue. You only want to make me the issue to divert attention from the fact that you couldn't offer one iota of fact for abiogenesis, one iota of fact for a transitional creature, one iota of fact that similarity is because of descent, or now even one iota of fact for embryonic recapitulation. Never mind any facts for evolution.

[general_re]

I couldn't possibly do any better at describing your own intellectual dishonesty than you have done here. You ought to look into the concept of "projection" sometime.

Now you'e beginning to sound like Pee Wee Herman ... "Takes on to know one." ... "I know you are but what am I?"

[general_re]

What else should I do in order to point out that you are guilty of the very sins which you so bitterly complain about from others? That you with the unclean hands hardly have grounds to lecture anyone else about how it's time to wash up?
