Black Swan.
Yes, pretty much!
I was unfamilliar with the term (had to look that one up), but the concept seems like an old friend. So much of what we call scientific advancement is just fortuitous serendipity.
Thank you!
I still love the site for the news and comments. There is an “abuse” button if needed.
If you don't read those threads, how do you know those people we're nuts?
I say don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Use it wisely!
Why? Does your phone ring at home every time you get pinged?
Cry me a river.....

“Yet, under the protection of the owner of the site, these very few have had the audacity to instill their beliefs into the core of what was once a great conservative site, and is now one that determines your conservatism by your acceptability of Creation Science.”
Uh.... Yeah, right. If I’m reading this right, the writer thinks we should ban people who believe in Creation Science. Sounds more like the Dummie site to me.

I guess someone is disgruntled that THEY couldn’t install their beliefs into the core of a great site, even though they certainly had the audacity to try.
Merry Christmas!
If you leave just go. We don’t need to hear from your ego.
Curious. Taking a look at the posts of ‘Pistolshot’, I can see nothing that he is complaining about in his recent posting history.

Can you explain this???
Darwinists are so deluded about why they’ve gotten the axe.
It feels so much better to pretend that it was because of their belief and support of *science* and evolution.
SO much easier to be the martyr, which doesn’t wear well on a darwinist with the kind of obnoxious, troll like behavior they exhibit when a creationist thread is posted.
Nobody pings them to it and yet they find them, swarm them, and ridicule and mock everything anyone else believes and stands for.
I avoid religious discussions whenever possible. I’m not here to discuss religion, I’m here for the conservative political discussion.
Eleven years at FR and I concur ... if a subject line doesn't interest me, in terms of voicing an opinion or debating an issue, I simply don't go there.
Neither judging nor taking sides it does seem like a lot of the Religion threads are filled with some pretty cranky people on a regular basis.
In a totally gay way.
I go there and piss people off.
On purpose.
“Anytime Hitler is invoked in any form in a post, the debate is lost.”
I know what you mean, and you are right when that name is invoked as a kind of slur without argument.
It is a little broad though, I think. I’ve seen a few posts on the anti-environmentalism anti-global-warming threads pointing out the Nazi origins of modern-day environmentalism and Hitler’s envolvement with that. That is quite factual. For example:

I resemble that first remark, and expect you are spot-on with the rest.
