It's very important to realize that the significant word in this sentence is "force."

......And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to

FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.

It's the forcing of your opinion on others through rude and boorish behavior that gets you zotted. Not your beliefs in themselves. This needs to be well understood and repeated often.

force

Therein lies the key.

Typically, the evos on this thread cannot tolerate a creation/ID post going up. Their typical methodology is to initiate a keyword spam, followed by going onto the thread and trying to stir up a flame war, while largely ignoring the original subject of the thread itself.

I have NOT seen this take place on the (granted, less prevalent, thanks to GGG) pro-evolution posts that go up) from the creationist/ID side.

I've had a few good discussions with evos over the years, mostly with that small subset of evos who are actually intelligent enough to conduct a scientific conversation that doesn't involve asking if Noah rode a brontosaurus. However, the fault lies mostly with the evos who are, indeed, trying to to force their opinions by disrupting discussion of opposing viewpoints.

Perhaps the author of the excerpt would like to comment upon your interpretation of his post; evidentally it would be interesting to many freepers to see if he concurs with you in your interpretation of his words.
