One just has to marvel at the amount of rationalization it would take to formulate the above view of what actually happened, and who actually tried to silence whom.

Remember, my alleged sin of "ridicule" was to simply advise, and I quote, "If you're going to make an analogy, make sure it's a valid comparison." Apparently such things are shockingly controversial and "suppresive" to creationists, I hadn't realized. My mistake.

Speaking of slap down, I also seem to have attracted a stalker,

Speaking of namecalling and belittling...

Oh, right, certain people can critique evolutionists, but if one of them posts a rebuttal, it's "stalking" -- at least according to the double standard. I get it now.

or at least someone who has pet names for his invisible opponent.

...because someone else ran to mommy when I used his posting name, so I needed some other way to denote that quoted text originated from someone other than the person to whom I was posting.

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

"Persecution complex" is much less judgemental a term.

It seems to be a popular self-indulgence among many creationists, given their willingness to confuse refutation with "suppression", "ridicule", and "stalking", and the manner in which they blame their inability to pass muster in the scientific community on the "conspiracy" to "silence" them.
