The two scariest words in the English language? Intelligent Design! That phrase tends to produce a nasty rash and night sweats among our elitist class.
Should some impressionable teenager ever hear those words from a public school teacher, we are led to believe, that student may embrace a secular heresy: that some intelligent force or energy, maybe even a god, rather than Darwinian blind chance, has been responsible for the gazillions of magnificently designed life forms that populate our privileged planet.

Men are primates, but not apes. Apes have no human intelligence, nor a soul, though I'm beginning to question that of some men too. Just because we're genetically related doesn't make us one of them. The common housefly has 97 percent DNA commonality with us. Are you claiming we're bugs too?
To: DesScorp
Apes have no human intelligence
Humans have human intelligence. If humans are apes, then it logically implies that at least a subset of apes have "human intelligence".
nor a soul
You'll need to demonstrate the existence of a soul for this to even begin to have meaning.
It seems to me like you want to redefine "ape" simply because you're not comfortable with humans being classified as apes.

If, as everyone proclaims g3k got what he deserved, why don't those who helped purify the forum step up to the podium? It is possible that they have, but I missed the posts. I didn't participate in the forum where 3k got nuked. Perhaps you would like to call the main perp to the stand, Jim Robinson.

whattajoke has already admitted his involvement and claimed the scalp. (if he wasn't kidding, I can't tell).
My apologies - I'm late to the "conspiracy" insanity. As one who has never pinged a mod, never hit the abuse button in my life, and never even threatened to do so, I can assure you I had nothing to do with G3K's or anyone else's banning.
darby - in the future if you're doubting whether or not I'm joking, check my screen name again.

Re: The infamous g3K banning thread.
I urge you all to read that first page and have a moment of silence for ol' f.christian. JimRob's initial response to him is classic.
What was most odd about perhaps the oddest prolific poster of yore, he would send me perfectl coherent and normal sounding FReepmails from time to time. I had mentioned I was going to be honeymooning in Hawaii back in 6/03 and he offered to show me around Maui. I, however, wasn't going to Maui (rather Kauai, Big Island, Oahu) but damnit, I almost changed my plans just to see him.
so anyway, I DID go to Maui last May and took a cab once in Lahaina (he had said he drove a cab) and the driver was slightly insane. But I was afraid to ask...

As I suspected.. thanks for clearing that up....
To: longshadow
Ah, yes, the "lone asshole" theory. But what you cover-up artists always ignore is the grassy knoll evidence </conspiracy>
To: whattajoke
... he [f.christian] had said he drove a cab ... I don't recall that tidbit. It must be a stressful job.

Bwahahaha - whatever man! He was banned because he made Dales look like a fool in front of his buddies. By the way - weren't you one of the people that started the whole flamewar?

To: Michael_Michaelangelo
He was banned because he made Dales look like a fool in front of his buddies. So basically, you're saying that Jim Robinson bans people who embarrass other posters. Have you asked him about this policy?
To: PatrickHenry; Thatcherite; Dimensio; Ichneumon
Gee, didn't somebody make some noise about whom it might have been who was
CONSPIRING to get the MODS involved? BEHOLD, from the thread in question:
To: CobaltBlue
You do have a lamentable tendency to fly off the handle and take insults when they weren't intended. One more insult from you, I will have it reported for abuse. Bug off.

This thread is getting dull. Lets get back to the important stuff:
I agree... so what would a 3 y/o weight 2.3 mya... and what bird might have attacked a child that size?
Any ideas?
To: Senator Bedfellow; longshadow
Ah, yes, the "lone [bleep]hole" theory. But what you cover-up artists always ignore is the grassy knoll evidence I was on that grassy knoll, lurking, amazed at what the "lone [bleep]hole" was doing in a thread started by Dales, and where Dales said, in post #1: "This would be a very poor thread to choose to engage in flamewarring or flamebaiting." Also, Jim Robinson was in the thread from nearly the beginning. He posted #16, so it was obvious to all that the thread was being observed, to monitor the problems in the evolution threads.
At post 62, Dales said to g3k: "And people are not taking the hint that they are skating on thin ice. Well, they are." And so it went. Now it's true that g3k was probably under the control of some alien device that had been inserted into his torso during one of those UFO abductions that seem to plague creationists -- that much was obvious to all. So it's possible that the probe made him do it. But from where I was standing on that grassy knoll, he did indeed seem to be a "lone [bleep]hole."
