Posters here are responsible (and only responsible) for what they say and do on these boards.
And yet you attempt to use their posts against others of their ilk, as you define ilk.
Yes, posters are responsible for what they say or in some cases refuse to say on these boards.
Anyone who rejoices in the beating of another human being because of a political difference deserves to be called on it, and those who refuse to condemn such a beating deserve to be called on that as well.
Oh, great, now are the posting Nazis not only judging what is written, but what is not written.
Well let me get to that, because I have been really T.O.-ed at the "defenders of science" on the crevo threads. But when scientists make total asses of themselves, when science is perverted, when science is misused, or abused, they are nowhere to be found:
When textbooks read like manifestos and respected scientists tarnish the profession with their tarnished professions, there's nary a peep.
But when somebody, somewhere suggests that maybe there might be a hole or two in the theories to which many scientists cling to like a security blanket, well here comes the descending chorus.
Well, if evo is taught in the high schools, junior high schools or elementary schools in any way like earth science is taught by the textbook in the second link, then it is nothing more than religious dogma that is "taught" without any critical analysis or means by which the students can assess the claims.
If scientists care, really care, about science, then they should focus their energies on individuals who practice the art and who claim ownership of the scientific method for their pronouncements. Instead of merely treating ID like a member of the humanities (I contend that there is much more solid ID scholarship than virtually all of the humanities and social sciences. Of course, I think there is more scholarship at DeVry than in the humanities and social sciences.), they eagerly pounce upon it with a fury that has not been seen since the times of Galileo.
But I suppose attacks against science only matter when your grant dollars are at risk.
So, yes, I am willing to hold posters responsible for what they refuse to say.
But back to the case at hand: What beating?
