***That’s kinda cool, I like it.

Doesn’t it take two to argue?
***Look at Darwin Central. They seem to have the same spirit of viciousness, even when there’s no religious conservatives to beat up on. Look at a typical caucus thread here on FR — there’s a distinct lack of that kind of viciousness. So if I’m engaging in any pointing, it is at the Darwin Central types who just like to argue over minutiae. Maybe it takes 2 to argue, but some are way more argumentative than others. And who cares, anyways? What we need to do is find a way to reduce the invective. I think I’ve found a way, that wouldn’t require any rule changes here at FR.

All it requires is for them to let you tell them what their religion is.

This thread is the first I have heard of Darwin Central. That seems a little irrelevant to me since the problem you are concerned with occurs on FR and the solution you want would be implemented on FR. When you bring up what happens on a site completely outside the sphere of FR that seems unnecessarily confusing to me.

Practitioners of science are scientists. So if you are going to coin and ism for science and call it "Scientism" then it only follows that practitioners would be called Scientismists. lol
