[ So you think that it was acceptable for Matchett-PI to fabricate a quote? ]

I know that you're too dishonest and arrogant to accept this, but I'll satisfy your demands.

Matchett-PI posted a "quote" allegedly from Wayne Carley stating that "...teaching evolution is .... a religious doctrine".

This was not something that Wayne Carley said. Typically when we see a creationist post like this we notice the ellipses and wonder what lay between them, as usually there's a lot of important words between them and cutting them out changes the meaning. But it's not even that honest. As dread78645 pointed out, the first part, the "teaching evolution is", was not even said by Wayne Carley!. Wayne Carley's actual quote is that " “Intelligent design is a religious doctrine,”

Not only did Matchett-PI take only a segment of Carley's original statement, he also added words to it that were not there in the first place. That is shameless, outright dishonesty. There is no way to justify that act.

But I eagerly anticipate your attempt to spin this into some situation where Matchett-PI did no wrong by lying about the words of another.
