Well hello there, Mr. Godwin.

I have been here for eight years, and I have never encountered any of those individuals. Probably because I DO NOT SEEK OUT THOSE THREADS.

Perhaps that advise is a little late in coming, but whatever. See yah.

What has become of the FreeRepublic I joined so long ago?

March wasn't ALL that long ago.

“Yet, under the protection of the owner of the site, these very few have had the audacity to instill their beliefs into the core of what was once a great conservative site, and is now one that determines your conservatism by your acceptability of Creation Science.”

Uh.... Yeah, right. If I’m reading this right, the writer thinks we should ban people who believe in Creation Science. Sounds more like the Dummie site to me.

That’s when Phileleutherus joined. He’s only posting the message on Pistolshot’s behalf.

Oh. What a waste of a good zinger.

Why is Phil posting other people's stuff?

LOL- Assuming htsi is wacka- the ‘great farethewell’ by someone who is guiklty of everythign they’ve stated in their ‘condemnation’ of htose they dissagree with- This ‘small intolorant group’ you speak of has posted science article after science article- and folks like you have taken it upon yourself to hound those articles tryign to shut htem down- keyword spamming htem with insult after insutling keywords, engaged in ad hominem attacks agaisnt hte posters of hte sceintific articles, and you’ve REFUSED to engage in anythign even remotely resembling civil discussion.

you’ve made it your mission to hound htose you dissagree with, and have, as the other poster pointed out- sought out every scientific article you can find posted here on FR to engage i nthis behavior.

Practically every single scientific Article supporting Creation or ID is immediately struck by drive by insulters

[[I will not miss the tolerated religious bigotry, the insulting, uneducated, demeaning tripe that passes for knowledge by those few who would dictate to the rest. ]]

Nor wil lwe miss you’rs- if you didn’t like it being thrown back at you- then perhaps you shouldan’t have started it in the first place- so please- enoiug already- just another ‘farethewell’ thread by someone who can dish it out, but throws a fit when they get it in return. your whole post is NOTHING but religious bigotry, the insulting, uneducated, demeaning tripe that passes for knowledge by those few who would dictate to the rest- insulting htose you dissagree with- but hten again, in your mind, you’re ‘innocent’ of all charges eh?

Farethewell

I get the religious threads and I don't think I've cared one way or another. Read the threads and believe what you see fit or ignore the things. Now, there's a concept.

Frankly I find the evolutionists cranky, condescending and cocky. There can be a thread about an archaeological find and some wise ass on the first or second post always whines, “How can this be? The Earth is only 6,000yo.”. Blah, blah, blah. Instead of intellectual debate there is only potshots and snide remarks.

Good riddance. Go find a humanist forum where you can agree with everyone all day long.

Tell Pistolshot to quit being a baby and get back in the game.

Life is a contact sport. If you need a timeout, take it, but at some point you are going to have to get back in the game.

Play Ball!!

I don’t read those threads. Those people are nuts.

And I will, if ever needed, go without an opus.

[[This type of religious fanaticism degrades this forum to the very thing that the DUmmies expect from FR, intolerance of others. ]]

LOL- seems ot me you’re the o ne being intolorant of those who Beleive in God’s word and stand up for their beliefs.

[[There are many religions in this world, and many beliefs in a different ‘god’.]]

And TRUE Christians beleive htere is only one TRUE God, and I find it pretty intolorant of you to suggest that we don’t have the right to suggest that or express that, and that you suggest that because soem on FR do infact express that that FR has become ‘a group of fanatical Nazis’ (in your own words and intimations)

[[This is the worst kind of fanaticism as it pits a particular religious belief against an individuals ability to think.]]

Mmmm No- not so much- IF you don’t want an argument with a Christian, Don’t attack their beleif, or suggest to them that they are fanatics like you’ve done throughout your thread

[[Yet, under the protection of the owner of the site, these very few have had the audacity to instill their beliefs into the core of what was once a great conservative site,]]

You’ve certainly made it crystal clear that you don’t tolorate opposing views on a public forum, and have becoem so upset that TRUE Christians woudl have the audacity to present material and evidence supporting hteir viewpoints, that you’re goign to leave? Wow! Just Wow!

[[It has now become a site that determines your conservatism based on rejection of Mormonism, the Roman Catholic faith, atheism, on any religious belief but their own, and not on conservative values that have nothing to do with religious beliefs, but on what is best for the country and what we revere as America.]]

Again- mmmm no- not so much- it determiens the DEGREE of conservativism- As you ful lwell shoudl know, there ARE degrees of conservatism- Far right, middle of the road, and left- IF you’re middle or left- then wear that badge with pride isntead of yelling about the far right- Agree to dissagree instead of yelling about htose hwo are different than you- As I said in my last post- that’s ALL that folsk like Wacka did- yell yell yell -following GGG around and yelling- tryign to shut down all his htreads- or derail them- NEVER discussing hte issues-

[[Recently, there has been a new creeping fascism by a small group of Creation Science believers into FR. These few individuals would have you believe that the Earth is 6000 years old, there is no other belief other than Jesus Christ, a great flood killed everyone and everything, leaving only a few survivors on a boat, which make little sense, ]]

Are you so insecure in your positions that you can’t allow them to beleive what they do? To allow them to post their views right alongside beliefs about evolution or atheism or any other topic?

[[Even those who do not adhere to the Christian belief should be free to choose what and how they think, and not be condemned by the few who see nothing but their way and dismiss their conservative values.]]

Again -the whole ‘dishing out but can’t take it’ saying applies here- Evos relentlessly followed GGG’s threads around condemning him and other Creationsits who posted in his threads- cosntantly

[[Please remove my name from all ping lists.

Goodbye]]

Yeah- whatever

Because, as the very first line explains (you did read that far, didn't you?), Pistolshot was just banned and isn't able to post it himself. But it's the post he had composed and decided to hold off from posting in the hopes that things would turn around, when suddenly (after ten years here) he got zotted for disagreeing with the hardcore creationists. So it serves as his epitaph.

Yep. If there is a thread with "Darwin" or "Creationist" or "Intelligent design" or "evolution" or any permutation of those words in the title, you won't find any posts from me. I know what my Christian beliefs are and I have zero interest in those debates or those threads. For freepers who do, knock yourself out. Right now I'm only concerned about the Kenyan communist Ubama and his attempt to annihilate traditional America.
