"Thanks for sharing" is a polite way of saying "kiss off". Don't thank me for sharing my concerns. Talk to some of your friends about painting people with a broad bush. If someone says something like "evolutionists believe the Lord is a liar" take the time to explain to them that while you share their view of Creation there are ample number of devout folks who don't deserve to be thusly smeared. If someone says something like "you can't be a Christian and believe in evolution" tell them that there are people of good will who disagree. When someone such as yourself desires to cultivate a reputation for fair-mindedness, such a person could do no less.

Actually, years ago, we tried to negotiate an agreement between the sides of the debate. I was the mediator. PatrickHenry represented the evolutionist side.

We hammered out an agreement, but the creationist side felt I had betrayed them - though I was never the representative for that side. My "function" was to mediate which requires treating both sides the same.

Both sides leaned on us to enforce the agreement. In the end, many on the creationist side wound up banned or left in a fit of indignation. A number on the evolutionist side ended up banned as well. And the agreement went to crickets.

So no thanks, Liberal Classic. Been there, done that. Let the moderators and individual posters take care of the behavior problems.
