That's nailing it solid. These guys are going to all die out together in a room trying to convince themselves how stupid the rest of the world is and the rest of the world won't care.
Ther best thing we can do is try to teach the world to laugh at evolosers and evoloserism. Laughter is the thing which ultimately kills some of these things which seem to be more than anybody can do anything about. The KKK was one example. Google searches on 'kkk' and 'superman' tell a fascinating story of how that came about.
Thanks for the ping!

“He let somebody needle him into an emotional response. I hate seeing that tactic work.”Hey, its just Natural Selection and Survival of the Fittest at work.
Darwin did say that “the character of the american people” and “the progress of the United States” were both due to natural selection, and therefore hereditary. I bet Americans thought that faith, values, goals, desires, beliefs, self-motivation, love of liberty and hard work had something to do with the character of the American people and the progress of the USA. Good thing we have Darwin and biological science to disabuse americans of such delusions.
Hmmmm I wonder which side sues people because they're injecting their religion into public, schools, science classes, etc. etc. etc.
Exactly.
He let somebody needle him into an emotional response. I hate seeing that tactic work.
That tactic? Ummmm Coyoteman was hoisted on his own petard sort’o-speak.
And frankly, I don’t think it was so much as an emotional response as letting his liberal slip show...he employed the liberal tactic of thinking he controls every aspect of the entire world around him, to the point of controlling a conservative website, one too many times.
He doesn’t.
Reread the thread again. He didn't post any emotional responses. The one that got him banned was when he mouthed back at JR, which hardly qualifies as *emotional*.
The evo persecution complex would have it that it was our fault that he's gone and it's not. You guys (as a group) can stop blame shifting. We're not buying it or taking responsibility for it no matter how much you throw it back at us. It's this thing called personal accountability and responsibility.
LOL! Pitchers and Catchers soon!! Both of us are gonna have to watch them boys down in Fla. though.
As long as the genetic side does not crowd out the Free Will it should be tolerated as a field of study, even encouraged, but not worshipped.

True, but people are loath to admit genes play a role at all in terms of intelligence and personality.
I think it is the hereditarians who are facing the most PC censorship.
I agree with this and I came to this conclusion by raising and showing purebred dogs for 25 years.
Puppies do not learn certain traits from their parents. One of the most amazing lessons of this was that once we had an Old English Sheepdog who loved to sit on chairs, seats of lawnmowers, etc.
Once I was talking to a friend in Canada who had purchased a daughter of our dog. The friend pointed out to me that the dog she purchased was sitting at that moment on a kitchen chair.
At the same moment, her mother was sitting on one of our kitchen chairs.
That fits right in with the idea that whoever has the best propaganda wins.
That looked like a pretty emotional response to me.
That I believe. You'll never believe you ever had anything to do with turning a discussion into a flame war.
Sorry about this. I should have replied to GGG offline.
That’s not true.
In this case, though, the response that got him banned, wasn’t to the newb who made the Satanism comment. The thread hadn’t really devolved into a spitting match yet. Nobody provoked him into name calling or personal attacks.
JR stated plainly where he stands, without name calling or derision. He said nothing that would even be considered strong compared to the usual level of vitriol these threads tend to break down to.
The long and short of it is, if you’re going to argue with the owner of a site about how he runs it and imply that he and what he stands for is *fringe*, you can expect consequences.
Cm exercised poor judgment; he could have stepped away from the keyboard, he could have accepted the reprimand and moved on. This isn’t the same as face to face confrontations where it’s far more likely to result in unintended consequences. At the keyboard, you have time to think it through, compose the response, and hit the post button twice. Flying off the handle is just not warranted.
The other question is why cm, along with other evos, are so intent on making FR *DClite*? If you guys object so strongly to the position FR taking, why stay when you have your own God-free evo only forum?
Is that your opinion, or are you submitting that as objectively verifiable fact?
I disagreed with that. Why is that an issue with you?
