"I agree that posting a list of "righteous creationists" (RC's) is a good idea, but only for a first step. I say just plain ignore the hucksters and wingnuts."

This also interfers with your stated reason for holding up the evo case on these threads: that you want newbies and lurkers to get good information and not be swayed by mush. If you ignore them, you run the risk of someone becoming ill informed.

Nice delimma, huh?

This [ignoring the malicious nut-cases] also interferes with your stated reason for holding up the evo case on these threads: that you want newbies and lurkers to get good information and not be swayed by mush. If you ignore them, you run the risk of someone becoming ill informed. Nice dilemma, huh?

When I said I ignore them, I meant only that I don't post to them, and I [usually] ignore their taunts and insults. But I don't ignore their mis-information. We're usually pretty good about correcting creationists' errors, and exposing their bogus quotes. When I expose a bogus quote, I'm usually quite vigorous in denouncing such frauds. But again, I don't post such denunciations directly to the nut-case.
