You mistake contempt and disgust for hatred. The emotions, while negative, are quite distinct.

I recognize many of the quotes you posted; and I know or knew a couple of the people quoted. Many of pro-evolution scientists are quoted out of context to misrepresent them; and some of the scientists do not support evolution. But you've been upbraided for quote-mining before; you've been told it's tantamount to telling falsehoods about people, something your own Decalogue tells you not to do. And yet you persist. How could I not feel contempt and disgust for an individual who spends his time and abilities doing such things, and cannot be dissuaded from that course, even by public shaming?

Nausea and hatred are not the same thing.

It is interesting that some people believe that scientistist can be quoted to demonstrate they don't believe things they obviously do believe. This has to be on the short list of symptoms of insanity.

It helps if the person attempting the public shaming is not a complete jerk in his own right - when that is the case, the "public shaming" and "comptempt and disgust" is chalked up to the source. And since you seem concerned with quote mining and misattribution, you might want to have a talk with what one of your buddies is attempting to do to Elsie and xmission.
