Ive tried rational arguments which are ignored. I wont be wasting my time with circular debates. And by the way, they are all articles from a handful of the same sites, which leads to the conclusion of spamming. It obviously is ok to do that here, and I really have no care about it. I know I wouldnt spam though.

Well, almost everything I post is from one site; Almost every day there are a dozen posts from each of a dozen single sites; And if you include the blogger/personal stuff, every day people post tiny quotes from every one of their blogs into this site to get hits.

It’s what makes FR work. Contributers have special interests, and each one can post stuff from the web sites they frequent, that most of us don’t, and then we can discuss it all here.

For the record, I can’t remember a single thread posted on creationism in the past year that wasn’t immediately posted to by people calling creationists names; and I can’t remember the last time one of these threads had an opponent that posted actual scientific information.

That’s fine, if they want to say that they are tired of arguing with a brick wall. I know that keeps me from posting to a lot of evolution threads, there’s no point because some people just won’t listen to reason.

But I don’t go to those threads and start harassing the posters who do want to have a discussion.

And since you haven’t even been a member for a month yet, you haven’t had the time to “give up” on making rational arguments, or to establish some sort of history of trying to reason with people before you give up and start sniping about people donating money.

But hang in there. Wait until you find some candidate you stoop to support becomes the favored target of the site, then you will really know the “fun” of defending your position against irrationality. :-)
