I have a hard time believing that anyone could believe such self-congratulatory claptrap as this, but it's par for the course for all too many creationists. Almost inevitably there appears some variation on, "The evos listened and talked for 2,766 posts, they analyzed the weaknesses, they found some amusingly naive, they offered to discuss all the evidence and take some key points as case studies, and when a creationist ran away in frustration that the evos didn't accept the 'obvious' truth of her beliefs, by gosh, it means creationists are being persecuted into silence by the evilutionist conspiracy!!!!!"
The fact that the swan song followed the obligatory Nazi insinuations just makes it all the more familiar.
I'm also always amazed at how often creationists demonstrate a real talent for psychological projection. The following came from creationists on this thread:
"You apparently have difficulty understanding that I have no wish to discuss anything with you."And yet, it's the *evolutionists* who supposedly silence people with opposing views? Pull the other leg now."NOTE TO ALL EVOLUTIONISTS ON THIS THREAD. DO NOT POST TO ME ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD."
Frankly I'll miss DittoJed2. She at least was willing to discuss the actual issues, whereas the majority of frequent creationist posters to these threads have devolved into either empty ridicule or endless variations on "here's what's wrong with you guys" (including, for example, Agreement-lawyering). While DittoJed2 was participating, even amidst all her exasperated declarations that we were "BLIND", "arrogant", etc., we spent most of our time on a science thread discussing *science* for a change.
That's not quite how I remember it. One side was discussing science; the other side was waving it away or bashing it (because it changes with the wind, or because it doesn't deal with the supernatural, or because it refuses to recognize God, or because it's too dogmatic, or biased, or the deck is stacked in the peer review process, or because it's an evil worldview, or because it undermines morality, etc.). And then the Hitler stuff was brought out. And then goodbye. Frankly, that wasn't much of a science discussion. But it was remarkably civil, until the end. And it wasn't the science side that dragged it into the mud.
