[Antoninus]

And madg (who, significantly, has not a thing to say in response to the well- documented scientific evidence presented in polycarp's rebuttals, other than to dismiss it all as "name-calling and propaganda"

Madg appears on these threads spouting the same nonsense every time. I welcome him for three reasons: #1 He continues to bump important threads and keep them going. #2 Once you get used to his debate style ("My scientific data is valid, but yours is propaganda.") you find out that he really has nothing persuasive to say. #3 Perhaps his coming here is a cry for help. Thus, when I see him on these threads, I say a prayer for him.

#3 Perhaps his coming here is a cry for help. Thus, when I see him on these threads, I say a prayer for him.

The third option seems to fit best. Good idea.
