If I printed out #15, not only would it be taller than I am, it would need an elevator and an area code.

Do you goofballs recognize the absurd irony of you complaints re Ichneumon's posts? You constantly appear on these threads (Hoplite, I don't recognize you so I'm using the perjorative "you") and whine about how there's "no evidence."

So Ichneumon performs a valuable service to folks like you, sparing you the trouble of opening a textbook or seeking out knowledge on your own. And then you complain; "Ahhh, it's too much! Too much evidence! Aaaahhh." (Despite the fact that his posts represent less than a thousandth of a percent of the known evolutionary evidence, give or take.)

And then you'll pop up on another thread to whine about how there's no evidence again. Can you feel my frustration through the internet. Can you visualize me shaking my head at you people? Do you EVER stop to wonder why we call creationists head-in-the-sand liars?

Can you visualize me shaking my head at you people?

Can you visualize what's going to happen to you after I've collected enough primes* on these threads to carry out my coup and take over Darwin central?


The Conspiracy That Cares

Promoting the Glory of Hoplite Since 2006


There will be some changes, and oh yes, you will rue that post more bitterly than Lev Borisovich Kamenev his unwise attack on Stalin at the 14th Party Congress as you spend the rest of your days in a re-education camp translating Ich's uber-post into Esperanto!

* Damn you! You made me miss #200! Are you working for the PatrickHenry faction?

Well said.

I've commented on this phenomonon previously; and append it for your edification:

It's worse than that; much worse. In the history of the world, only a tiny fraction of all the people who ever lived have had the opportunity to ask highly qualified scientists direct questions, and learn from their wisdom. Happily, because of the internet and places like FR, it is now possible for people from all walks of life to converse directly with all sorts of scientific experts; we have physicists, microbiologists, mathematicians, astronomers, and chemists, to specify but a few, roaming these threads, and eager to explain what they know and how they know it to virtually anyone willing to ask an intelligent question.

But there is another segment of people on these threads who, instead of asking these learned folks intelligent questions and thus expanding their knowledge and understanding, insist instead upon bludgeoning them with their ignorance, and questioning the patriotism, honesty, and intellect of people who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

I submit that such people are not here to learn anything, but are in fact interested in quite the opposite. I submit they are here to interfere with the dissemination of scientific knowledge that they find offensive. They don't want other people to ask the experts questions and learn from them; no, they are here to attack the experts and cast doubt upon their wisdom, in the desperate hope that others will turn away and not listen to them.

IMHO that is why the same people show up over and over again parroting the same refuted diatribes and misinformation, and spewing the same bogus out-of-context quotes designed specifically to disrupt the dissemination of scientific knowledge. That's why the same people show up over and over again misrepresenting what scientific theories and laws are, despite having had it explained to them 1720th time; they are here to instill confusion and spread their ignorance, not to disseminate knowledge.

The experts here on these threads ought to be revered and thanked for sharing with us their insights and explanations of the natural world around us; instead scorn is heaped upon them and their knowledge by the belligerently ignorant. I submit that these purveyors of unknowledge should be treated for the intellectual disruptors that they are. They stare the best opportunity any of us will ever have to gain more insight and understanding in the eye, and spit in the faces of those who offer and have the knowledge to help make that a reality.

Behold, I give you the belligerently ignorant, the intellectual Luddites of our time. Know them for the anti-knowledge disruptors they are.

The people you refer to as "goofballs" and the people I refer to as "perveyors of unknowledge" are one and the same; the belligerently ignorant, the intellectual Luddites of our time.
