Thou shalt not have a thread of admiration posted on DU? A new commandment?

[King Prout]

given the timing, that seems more probable than not.

IMO, that's a good guess. I saw someone's entire homepage get erased in the past. The owner had some controversial things on it. He never found out why it was erased and it wasn't restored by FR.

I stumbled across that link by sheer accident, while lurking over there. The context of the reply in which I posted it here at FR was in the sense of "even DUmmies can admire common sense and talent from time to time."

Only a "creationist" I'd jointly *pinged because they'd expressed interest in the "admiring" post at DU (I didn't know the party was a "creationist" at the time because I don't usually hang out in these threads) responded to my post, with some silly irrelevancy.

Bottom line: the posting of the link by me was not meant to give ammunition to any of Patrick Henry's enemies (such as they are). I happen to think he is quite correct in his analysis of this issue on a scientific level.

To the extent that it has given such ammunition to his detractors--among both the "creationists" and in the matter of the erasure of PH's profile page--I regret posting it in the first place, and apologize.
