Well, almost everything I post is from one site; Almost every day there are a dozen posts from each of a dozen single sites; And if you include the blogger/personal stuff, every day people post tiny quotes from every one of their blogs into this site to get hits.

It’s what makes FR work. Contributers have special interests, and each one can post stuff from the web sites they frequent, that most of us don’t, and then we can discuss it all here.

For the record, I can’t remember a single thread posted on creationism in the past year that wasn’t immediately posted to by people calling creationists names; and I can’t remember the last time one of these threads had an opponent that posted actual scientific information.

That’s fine, if they want to say that they are tired of arguing with a brick wall. I know that keeps me from posting to a lot of evolution threads, there’s no point because some people just won’t listen to reason.

But I don’t go to those threads and start harassing the posters who do want to have a discussion.

And since you haven’t even been a member for a month yet, you haven’t had the time to “give up” on making rational arguments, or to establish some sort of history of trying to reason with people before you give up and start sniping about people donating money.

But hang in there. Wait until you find some candidate you stoop to support becomes the favored target of the site, then you will really know the “fun” of defending your position against irrationality. :-)

I have never called anybody names here and Im not going to be told I have. Look at my posting history and you will see that. Secondly I have been called a few on these threads, which I dot care about. And thirdly, I have been a lurker for years. Just because I signed up recently makes no difference. Its the quality of the posts. And I dont go on these thread harassing anyone. I stumbled on the first science keyword post I found and I thought it was a satire piece, but was told by a few different people, this is what passes as “science”.

I then made the pointless waste of time trying to debate, when all is needed is pure agreement with nonsense and nodding of heads. If that is what is desired, thats fine by me. Ive made plenty of rational scientific based arguments that completely contradicts what are in these posts, and I get called names and my argument ignored or twisted.

The same stuff happens on other treads too, especially Palin threads, whom I happen to support. Plenty of name calling and hate from so called conservatives attacking her, so Im already familiar with it.
