>>>I do hope you aren’t in the crowd who wants the news articles about the polls regarding attitudes towards Darwin relegated to RELIGION. BTW, I read ALL, not just specific forums.

I also read ALL. I’m open to looking at any views. But yes, if the spam is a sermon on Genesis masquerading as a story on Darwin, RELIGION seems the place for it.

More generally these blog editorials are not NEWS by any stretch of the imagination. Placing these spamming sermons on equal footing with NEWS and superior to the various threads on actual science which are automatically pushed off into CHAT is humiliating to this site’s credibility, not to mention violations of it’s own rules.

If the powers that be choose to permit and encourage this, you have to expect some fallout. I don’t know if colleges are or are not filtering FR. But if the censors can point to this it certainly would make it easier for them to do so.

Maybe we should ABOLISH the categories. They dont' seem to serve any rational purpose other than making it possible for one set of snobs to piss on another set of snob's shibboliths.

We certainly don't want that sort of thing going on.
