I bought into the "bill of goods" a long time ago. If the site goes down because I don't believe the Marxist lies, so be it.
Please understand what I am not saying. I am not saying Christianity or Judaism is a bill of goods. I am addressing only this notion that a particular branch of science is a socialist lie.
Frankly, you are wrong. Evolutionary theory is enormously useful. It has practical applications beyond well biology, extending into such diverse fields computer science and oil exploration.
I am willing to agree to disagree. Furthermore, the site is not going to go down because you don't believe in marxism. I am solidly anti-marxist, myself, but that's beside the point. The point is if you don't rope in the cranks, it's going to give your site a black eye. Being a relatively prominent site, it's going to give the conservative movement a black eye by proxy.
If you are going to run a broad-based conservative site, you need to have a big tent. The problem is the bigger the tent, the more clowns you get. Even if you, or the moderators, such as the Religion Moderator (Hi A-G! *hugs*) are creationist, you need to lay the smack down on some of these anti-science posters. They are turning some threads into cesspools, just like they did a few years ago. I even suspect it may be some of the same people, posting under new names. In short, they are taking advantage of your sympathy to wage their own personal war against science using your resources.
They hurt your site. Even if pro-science people like me are a minority on your site, we're a substantial minority. Judging by that poll a few weeks back, fully one out of every three of us is in the pro-science camp. While it may be safe to purge libertarians, I don't believe it is wise to chase pro-science posters away from your site by allowing them to crap all over science theads.
Now, I'm not blaming you personally. This same argument is going on at large. The debate here is just a reflection of the debate in the conservative movement at large. As the owner of a relatively prominent conservative site, you have the ability to affect a large number of people by setting the tone of your site. If you don't discourage anti-science cranks, it is going to harm the conservative movement. Maybe not in the election coming up soon, or even in '08, but if the Republican party becomes known as the anti-science party it's going to hurt.
The saddest thing of all is that Marxism is still alive and well. God help us.
