You know not whereof you speak concerning EsotericLucidity. His post #174, addressed to me, was a vitriolic, ad hominem attack on people of faith, revealing what I could only describe as a pathological hatred for the Judeo-Christian religions. Most of his previous posts presented with some skill the usual scientific arguments for the Darwinist position, but late in the discussion he began to veer off into assertions about religion and religious figures. I dunno. Guess he just lost it.

Please don't blame me for the ban, however. When 174 was posted I was watching the Detroit/Colorado hockey game, which turned out to be an awful experience for Av's fans. I should have stayed on FR. I didn't see EL's post until this morning after it had already been removed from the public forum. Freegards.

There's no current freeper by the name of "EsotericLucidity". Let me see if I'm getting the story here. EL posted something that made a distinction between two kinds of naturalism and argued that Johnson was confusing them. It was a detailed post that contributed to the debate. It was the kind of thing that anyone wanting to learn more about Johnson's argument would have benefitted from reading. But EL said something else in another post that offended someone's sense of religious correctness and so the post where he made the distinction between two kinds of naturalism was pulled from the boards? Is that the gist of it?
