I would be much happier if he would post links. A pageful of links is just as good as ten pages of text.

In flamewars, people don't want to read links. They want to score points.

That just makes it easier for the creationists to ignore.

No, it isn't. At least when it's posted inline, the creationists realize how foolish they look when they post lame one-liners as attempted hand-waving "rebuttals", since they know everyone else on the thread has *seen* the size of even a tiny *taste* of the mountains of evidence for evolution.

When it's just links, they can lie about the strength of the evidence secure in the knowledge that 95+% of the lurkers won't have actually followed the links and looked at it.

Now, however, they're fully aware that their lies will be obvious to everyone on the thread. And that's hilarious, since they still try it anyway.

You'd have been wiser to do here what you did on yesterday's thread -- slink away after you were hammered on the facts and caught making grossly ignorant accusations.

But no, here you are again, making the same sort of one-liner schoolyard taunts all over again, instead of repeating the behavior that got you hammered on the facts last time.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
