VadeRetro is a perfect example of what I was speaking about. Here is someone whose IQ probably doesn't top 110, but who wishes so desperately to be regarded as an intellectual that he clings to the pant leg of those he regards as 'free thinkers'. Unfortunately, he never ads anything to these discussions. He just makes snide comments and slings ad homs around hoping against hope that someone somewhere will view him in the same light as the few genuinely rational people on these threads. It's really kind of pathetic, and it would be sad if it weren't so damned funny.

No, he's just frustrated by the antics of certain creationists on these threads who shotgun these threads with tens of half-truths and misleading statements, and then never defend their misleading statements. I share his annoyance, I just choose to ignore the offender after the first few attempts, while he is trying to get the offender to admit the error of his ways. It's like herding cats, I know, but someone has to try, and I respect him for it.

Gee, Vade's a published author. What have you done that's so special?

Probably half the stuff on the Ultimate Creation vs. Evolution Resource came from Vade. What have you contributed, hmmm?

and what have you added to this thread other than exactly the same you claim the others have done. In the one paragraph I clipped from your post, you make snide comments, throw around ad hominem attacks, and generally say nothing.

Thanks for your input

Articles I've written for the crevo threads:

*Please* Use Extreme Caution In Messing With the Speed of Light -- Perils of CDK
The Evidence for Dinosaur-Bird Transition (A Sidebar Thread)

I seldom do such, obviously, and I don't spend as much time looking for articles to post as I once did. Still, your criticism looks funny coming from you. What have you ever done except exactly what you accuse me of doing?
