To: <1/1,000,000th%; Alamo-Girl
As far as I know, FR is the only site with an ongoing dialogue on the "crevo" issues.... I learned a lot from both sides.

Me, too, <1/1,000,000th%. If anything, the "crevo" debates have increased my appreciation of, and interest, in science issues, and I've learned so much from the correspondents on such threads, on both sides. So I was disturbed to learn that some eminent FRevos have decided to more or less boycott the crevo threads. This came as very sad news. We all lose when stuff like that happens. FWIW.

Thanks for writing!

Some people don't want to play unless they can just waltz right in and pick up all the marbles without a contest. The Masters of the Universe suffer the greater loss here, but it's true just the same; we all lose.

I agree. It diminishes all of us when either side boycotts.

After Jim Robinson referred to those who believe in evolution in such terms as "socialist dogma" and "Marxist lies," it became pretty clear that the FRevos were on the "wrong" (as in "politically incorrect") side of the "debate."

So the FRevos have been told, in no uncertain terms, that we are not welcome here if we insist on posting contrary to the party line. We're either (a) trying not to wear out our welcome here or (b) deciding to go to some place a little more welcoming.

So, any Frevos are still posting here will avoid the topic of evolution like the plague. I'm sorry you dislike that. But it is a natural consequence of the climate shift here.
