[For you to suggest that the mere existence of a complaint in this matter (which virtually anyone can lodge, whether the complaint has merit or not) means that letters of recommendation have now been conclusively adjudicated as non-discretionary is pretty bizarre. Is that your contention?]

Do you somehow imagine that Dini's bigotry can be justified on the basis of my "contention?"

No, son, he "somehow imagines" that you might want to clarify your assertion, since on its face it sounds like you've gone off the tracks somewhere.

Judging from your non sequitur response, perhaps he has a point.

What Dini did was wrong. Why do you evos think that it was right only because he held your evolutionist beliefs?

You *can't* be this dense... (Nor can you possibly believe we'd fall for it if you're being disingenuous.)

Far from anyone thinking "it was right only because he held your evolutionist beliefs", you can't *POSSIBLY* have missed the *countless* times in the many Dini threads (*including* this one) where someone has pointed out to you that they would *similarly* have *no* problem with a religious institution withholding a letter of recommendation from a student in a religious class if that student rejected the religious teachings.

So how on *earth* could you be so incredibly obtuse as to come to the conclusion that we "only" approve of it when evolution is on the table?

I really want an answer to this question: Is your boneheadedly false accusation above based on your a) stupidity or b) dishonesty?

Or perhaps c) a tragic form of amnesia that makes you unable to recall any posts more than a page or so ago?

Why not admit it was wrong and bigoted?

Because it isn't, for reasons that have been explained to you a ridiculous number of times now, which you have yet to properly grasp or rebut.

His bigotry does not prove charlie darwin wrong so why are you guys so lathered up?

We're not -- it's the *creationists* who have gone ballistic on this issue. Try to keep the players straight, please.

There's a whole lot of "c" going around. And you forgot to mention d) SARS -- Severe Anti-Rationality Syndrome.

You're not lathered up but this is the 4th sequential wasting-your-time response.
