This is all kind of pitiful in a way. I originally logged on to FR precisely because of these threads. It was refreshing to find that there were fellow conservatives who did not view scientific literacy as heretical. The articles and citations provided by you, Nebullis, Physicist, Vade, PH, RA, js1138, Lurking Libertarian, jennyp, even the irascible (although almost invariably pithy and erudite) AndrewC, were a bright spot in my day.

Now, for reasons known only to management, I suppose, these threads are subject to pointless and juvinile destruction. Seeking a patently liberal and relativistic "diveresity" in science (of all things), ALS and his congregation of book-burners have been granted free reign to silence all discussion by flooding these threads with playground insults and saturday morning cartoons.

Ah, well, all good things must come to an end, I suppose. Let's hope its only temporary, and the kids get interested in something else.

... playground insults and saturday morning cartoons.

Supposedly, it is too difficult to tell from whence the garbage is originating. I find the concept stunning, but we have to deal with it.
