This thread got out of hand early and should be shut down for shear embarrassment. Threads like this are stereotypical reasons others on Fr probably wonder why they give money to Fr. Why contribute knowing your money keeps bullcrap bickering and bitch fest threads like this alive.

I've slowly and cautiously tried to be respectful to many evo's I've come across here. That hard and patient work by both sides should not topple so fast just because a couple comments are made. NO MATTER WHO SAYS THEM.

I was not here in the past through all the previous garbage, I was not a part of the group that got banned, I am a regular joe schmo lunch pail slob that simply likes to read interesting articles about the origins of life.

I dont mind reading about how other people believe differently. Many times I find it quite interesting that people can hold particular views.

Don’t even say to me, well this group of people behaves like this…so we can too. It sounds like you’re 8 years old.
A good walk away from the keyboard can cure a lot of the arguments on here. People need to quit reading threads with the point of making sure their pride isn’t going to get hurt.

I aint perfect but life has a way of making you realize what does and does not matter. Having someone post a rude comment to you does not mean you have to go ape-crap full of revenge. Don’t take the flame bait.

Recently (over the past couple weeks) I’ve had a couple posts with evo’s that have nothing to do with evo. Do you realize how refreshing that is to realize you probably still have something in common with people of different viewpoints. Do you realize how human you will become to each other instead of an empty screen.

I can appreciate sarcasm and humor but mocking, name-calling and rudeness need not be the typical response we try to needle each other with. Again, NO MATTER WHO SAYS THEM.

Alright rant over, I needed to get that out.

till later…

Why did you ping me with your complaints? I've posted only once in this thread since the first three posts. And I don't recall that I've ever posted to you in my life.

Quit beating around the bush and state your point. :)

In general it's best to hit the back button before posting stuff like that. You want Mommy Moderator to wipe your bottom for you?

It appears one of the proximate causes of the problem has been removed.

I have argued that the discontinuous gap between humans and 'apes' that we erect in our minds is regrettable. I have also argued that, in any case, the present position of the hallowed gap is arbitrary, the result of evolutionary accident. If the contingencies of survival and extinction had been different, the gap would be in a different place. Ethical principles that are based upon accidental caprice should not be respected as if cast in stone.
