If we don't, will we hurt the feelings of "science"? As the man said in Cool Hand Luke, "What we have heeya is a failya to communicate."
Unfortunately, I do not believe the proposed "no bashing" agreement can work. That's why they use MODERATORS in real debates, and that's why I will employ the ADMIN MODERATOR when the abuse occurs. That has much more force than a mutual agreement.
Ironically, one of the complaints is that the anti-evos are Christian-bashers by their own definition. I think the Doctor's criticism is dead on.
Oooo! I liked typing, "The Doctor".
