We seem to have the assymetrical situation where you tell me to shut up at your convenience, Abuse-Button Boy, but I can't seem to tell you to keep your lawyerly blue spew out of my reply queue.

Note that I just outed to yet another person, the activity for which you hit the button the previous time. (Well, this time was more like a reminder to the ever-forgetful but even-tempered scripter.) I will continue to do every time you deposit your mendacious rantings in my lap.

If you want to talk to me, I'd suggest you put it on the Abuse Button screen and send it to the AdminModerator.

Am I drawing you into an argument not concerning you? I posted directly to your post. If that is abuse, press the abuse button. As for blue spew, I almost agree with you on the Scientific American nonsense.

God's Traveler, who satteth at the right hand of God but gotteth banned anyway

I was unaware God's Traveler was banned. He seemed to mellow within hours of what I thought was his first post and didn't think of him as a disrupter.

Hmm. I guess I forgot what I forgot! :-) What have I forgotten? FWIW, I don't read every post in every thread and probably not every crevo thread. That's the first time someone described me as even-tempered. Of course all you see is my writing style. If we were to grab a couple bottles of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale... but I digress. Are you ever in central California? :-)

I suggest the next time you're in a library you read an article in Scientific American's May 2002 issue, The Mammals that Conquered the Sea. Unfortunately, that one's not on their web site. It gives you a somewhat less skewed version than you get from asking the slimy lawyer for one side.

Would that be the same article AndrewC posted in 204? Andrew's comments in 241 give that impression. If it is the same, I find it a little weird AndrewC would post the article if it didn't bolster his position on this issue.

That's about all I could put together from you guys on this thread while at work.

BTW, it doesn't really matter to me what Andrew's worldview is on crevo issues as long as he disagrees with you. :-) Seriously, I look at the data myself and draw my own conclusions, giving little credit and taking very little into account what others say. I see that as the best way to remain objective.
