Abusing a museum volunteer

Abusing? Asking questions is abuse? The article didn't even indicate that anyone raised their voice.

throwing intellectual crap of the worst odor.

Ah, so you find their ideas offensive, so they should be prevented from asking questions or expressing ideas that profane your temple. NO ONE WHO DOESN'T AGREE AND UNDERSTAND IS ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS! IT'S OFFENSIVE!

And you continue to compare asking questions to throwing actual crap.

Get a grip.

And yet no one claimed they did, but that didn't stop YOU from doing so in your last reply, and I quote you verbatim:

" NO ONE WHO DOESN'T AGREE AND UNDERSTAND IS ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS! IT'S OFFENSIVE!"

.... so they should be prevented from asking questions or expressing ideas that profane your temple. [emphasis added]

Here we get to the nub of the matter; it's a Museum; it isn't a public forum for every patron to "express ideas" -- it's a forum for people interested in the science to come learn about it. Haranguing a volunteer docent for 45 minutes with questions that include utterly bogus and thoroughly discredited arguments such as the "2nd Law of Thermodynamics precludes Evolution" isn't for the purpose if intellectual inquiry, it's for the purpose of filibustering and disrupting the normal presentation on scientific knowledge to the patrons of the museum.

The patrons don't get to make speeches at a museum; if it's speech making these people want, then they can fly to England and go to Hyde Park and stand there and get laughed at like the rest of the schizophrenics who launch tireless tirades at the unfortunately realities that impinge upon their delusional fantasies.

Get a grip.

The astutue readers of this thread can see who's shouting and who isn't, and it is apparent to all who are grounded in reality which one of us is losing his grip.
