Yardstick: "This is like asking someone to explain why, precisely, a joke is funny."

That's supposed to be a joke, right? ;-)

I'm certain, if you look, you can see just below the FR Reply box where it says:

Free Republic regularly bans posters for violating those policies, and so it is a matter of utmost concern that people understand just what, exactly, is acceptable or not.
For example, just when does an insult become a "personal attack"?

The answer is: nobody knows for certain, but the best policy is to stay well away from anything, including insults, which might be so interpreted.
Then you don't have to worry about it.

But I'll have to say -- Free Republic is normally a pretty rough & tumble world.
Most posters here are not overly sensitized to others' delicate feelings, and don't care at all about about being blunt and to the point.

And in over seven years of posting here, this is the first time I was accused of being "insulting" without any obvious reason for it.

So I take it as a bogus charge -- just a smoke screen to hide the fact the poster (TN4Liberty) had no serious response on matters of Evolution.

Honestly, of all the failings I have had in my life, having a rude stranger on an internet forum say I had “no serious response on matters of Evolution” is one I can probably live with. You take yourself and this topic WAY too seriously.
