It's to the point where Freep conservatives who want to discuss science from a pro-scientific stance have to either dance on their tiptoes with a sword at their neck or go to Darwin Central to carry on a conversation and find old friends.

If you say so, fine shuckmaster.

I frankly haven't seen many scientific conservations over at DC in my recent visits. The site transparently promotes itself as a place where the like-minded can gather, construct straw-man arguments, and abuse people who dissent from the DC-accepted views. In short, it gives every impression of being an "interest group," not a place where scientific issues are actually discussed.

People over there at DC who relate to that sort of thing probably don't have much to contribute here.

wyattearp just found out that he has been banned. He was studying for finals, and hadn't even posted at FR in three weeks. Reason for banning: trolling. He was inactive for three weeks. How could he have been "trolling"? That is why people are leaving FR. Right there. About the only posting that he was doing was on blam's and SunkenCiv's threads. Courtesy ping to blam and SunkenCiv.
