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

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

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.

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.

I have only recently begun to follow these threads, but there does seem to be far too much ill-will and rudeness expressed. I would like to see a kinder, gentler discourse.

These thread tend to be, moreover, screaming matches not merely between people with positions set in concrete, but between people who have a bed of Procrustes on which to fit all their opponents so that they can't see any nuance, variety or distinction among any possible positions contrary to their own.
