There is nothing wrong with teaching the truth (especially when people want to hear it) but you can't force someone who doesn't want to hear it to listen.

Very true. (Of course, I would give the example of trying to persuade a poofist from embracing his cultish nonsense). However, the point is that people with very different views can live quite well together so long as an armtwister isn't extorting one for the benefit of the other.

Civility isn't about who is right. It is simply about how people are treated, whether they are rational like Darwin or nutty like poofists.

Thank you for providing yet another example of the kind of civility freely available from evolutionists.
