[insult the participants with falsehoods]

Most of the regular participants do fine on each other.

Ah, the old Clinton excuse: "Everyone does it!" Sorry, but that hardly excuses your own false slander, which is one of the worst examples I've seen recently, so don't try to play Mr. Innocent here, or try to pretend that you're sitting on any high ground. You made a transparently false and wildly overgeneralized accusation. And you were caught at it. Deal with it.

How many bannings from arrogant know it alls screaming at each other have taken place as a result of these threads? Way too many. Or perhaps not enough in some people's opinion.

The bannings have been almost exclusively on the creationist side, by the way.

It would'nt break my heart to see these threads get killed instantly.

Yes, I'm sure you'd appreciate it if opposing views were silenced.

I know. And I find that sad. I would expect a higher level of civility from the those arguing young earth creation.

Now who is slandering? Which point of view have I opposed? My opposition is with the overall tone of these threads. Factually, or faith wise, I don't have a dog in this particular hunt. I would actually like to come on these threads and have clearly stated discussion points, without the patronizing arrogance on one side, and the "You'll burn for that" crap on the other.

I have yet to see one of those on this forum. On at least three occaisons I have got lit up from both sides when I pointed out the harsh level of their conversation. And it really has'nt gotten any better after the "terms of posting on Crevo threads" agreement.

Your reaction to my post, that was not addressed to you, BTW, proves my point. And if you believe that I was over generalizing than you can deal with it, but I reject your assertion.

These threads are little more than screaming matches from people with their positions set in concrete on either side, with little chance for some one that actually wants coherent, decent conversation to participate. I have regretted every single time I have participated in a Crevo thread, and I want to thank you for extending the streak. Good day, sir.
