Junior:
To assist you in responding to a question which has just been put to you, it's about a different thread than this one. I made a response (#370, now deleted) addressed to "All" which was motivated by: post 364 by g3k, wherein the usual creationist spew appeared: "That evolution and Communism are tightly joined ideologically is beyond doubt."

We've all responded to such outrageous lies numerous times in the past, and I did so again, in #370. I provided two links, which you've seen before, and which I will not repeat here. I also mentioned people like Swaggart, etc. And in doing so (here's the context that AndrewC so deftly ignored), I specifically stated:

Why do we bring up all these true but goofy examples? Not to discredit creationism, because such "linkages" prove nothing. It is to show the idiocy of anyone's attempting to link communism and evolution. It should also be mentioned that Darwin himself was no communist, and no evolutionist on this website is a communist either. But the mindless ones will continue to try to discredit evolution in this foolish way.
In post 375, AndrewC complained to the mods, and wildly distorted the nature of an earlier post and that latest one (#370) by claiming -- out of context -- that I had posted "a link inimical to the interests of the Catholic Church". The overworked mod took him at his word and deleted the post. That's the story.

There's a cute link on jennyp's site to a story on the movement to get equal time in High School classes for Intelligent Grappling (versus Gravity).

Yes, Mr Distortion which(post 364) was in response to your veiled attack in post 301 --- Not a bad idea, but they wouldn't get it. By the way, have you ever noticed that the evolution side of the debate, being the rational and mature side, never says equally idiotic things, such as: "Creationism = kiddy porn". (I've been tempted, but hey, there's no sport in kicking cripples.)

I posted your entire response to whattajoke. Gore3000 responded to that trash of yours, listing only the part with the veiled attack. All of this caused by a reference to communism/ID posted by jennyp which I pointed out in post 304.

You can try to hide behind claims of context but if you think the link is innocuous then repost it.

Finally, don't blame the Moderator for your lack of civility.
