After participating for awhile, I started to pick up on the sneering, condescension toward those who believed in God. When CJ banned fjordman (who I followed frequently), something didn't sit right with me. I've only visited on occasion and have been slightly surprised at the amount of people he has banned. (So many, that they started their own site and laugh about it.) <br /><br />I don't have a problem with someone who doesn't believe in "creative design." I do have a problem with those who get rude about it. If you're a non-believer, that's your choice. Why spend time criticizing people who believe in something you don't? What's the point, other than to show what a puny, petty, miserable life you lead? <br /><br />A wise man said: Small people talk about other people. Average people talk about things. Great people talk about ideas.<br /><br />Thoroughly enjoyed your troll whompfest. ;-)Mary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107504165449607702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-60485055897855803742009-11-21T10:17:30.397-05:002009-11-21T10:17:30.397-05:00Monica,

It is Evangelicals (mostly) who don't like Darwin.<br /><br />The Dust up with Galileo caused the church to re-evaluate how it handles science. The Church (praise the lord) is on the side of science. <br /><br />I'm of your opinion: Evolution is how the Maker expresses his will. <br /><br />I am also of the opinion that the Maker is always talking to us had we only the wit to listen. Of course it could just be my mild schizophrenia talking. But the advice has been good so far (one of the best was when He shouted in my ear - HAVE CHILDREN YOU FOOL).M.

I rarely comment on blog posts anywhere. When I do, it is usualy to point out a flaw or error in the blogger's logic or stance. I am amazed how frequently the blogger then comments back that I am an "f***ing idiot" or I can't see he's right because I am a "moron". No evidence, no logic, just irrational attacks. If the bloggers were correct, pointing to the evidence would confirm their position. But lacking rational support for their position, all who challenge must be destroyed! <br />Such irrational responses to anyone who questions a theory, such as anthropogenic global warming, are hallmarks in science of a weak evidence basis and dubious truth underlying one's theory. This repeats itself in medical science on a regular basis. A theory of claimed benefits of a drug garner billions of dollars for industry; those who challenge the theory are ridiculed by "experts" paid directly and indirectly by Pharma, until the totality of the evidence leads to the collapse of the theory. The true experts who spoke out against the bogus theory have been smeared, while the phony experts walk away rich, and Pharma moves on to its next drug cash cow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-37032207791047343952009-11-21T06:09:05.069-05:002009-11-21T06:09:05.069-05:00I have never understood why CJ calls you a 'wh...I have never understood why CJ calls you a 'white supremacist'.

If you stipulate a Creator, "He" must of necessity exist outside of our Space/Time continuum. Ergo such a Creator could employ evolution as the tool of "his" creative process as easily as a machinist employs a lathe. I understand such thought is too sophisticated for most trolls, requiring appreciation of String Theory and M Theory, which is why their smug sneering amuses so greatly. The self-identified "smartest kid in the class" is wholly unable to understand what a fool he's making of himself.RESnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-75285567060580886612009-11-21T00:38:11.327-05:002009-11-21T00:38:11.327-05:00Hee.

LGF/Charles Johnson's blogimmune ...<b>Joe said... </b><br /><i>LGF/Charles Johnson's blogimmune system is out of wack.</i><br /><br />And I think that has a lot to do with CJ's social isolation, a fundamental risk of blogging, where virtual experience supplants the real world to the point where one becomes a cyber-obsessive recluse.<br /><br />One of the reasons I so enjoy the Shoe Leather Reporting road trips -- and attending events like Right Online, CPAC and last night's Spectator gala -- is because <i>I actually like people</i>. It's fun to meet new flesh-and-blood human beings, or to hang out with friends. If I spend too much time online and go too long without that kind of human interaction, I begin to experience something akin to depression, what Professor Jacobson calls "<a href="http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-years-resolution-beat-blogger-mood.html" rel="nofollow">Blogger Mood Disorder.</a>"<br /><br />After Charles Johnson fired his first shot at me -- a minor comment, several weeks before his 9/12 attack -- I began to ask around, "What's up with this dude? What's he all about?" And one of the first things I learned was that he is essentially friendless, a misanthropic hermit who almost never comes out to socialize and who is very uncomfortable at crowded gatherings. For CJ, as for Sartre, "Hell is other people."<br /><br />That one aspect of Johnson's personality explains a lot more about what went wrong at LGF than does any mere ideological dispute.Robert Stacy McCainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084541621503669804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-79209270601397154552009-11-20T15:13:44.763-05:002009-11-20T15:13:44.763-05:00And by the way, the reason he fails to ever tell p...And by the way, the reason he fails to ever tell people where the "little green footballs" name came from is this: That name, LGF, is slang for when people pick their nose and roll up their boogers, creating "little green footballs."

I'm an agnostic traditionalist, and a fiscal conservative, and I just didn't care to waste my time on a site run by children who think the gravest threat to this country is tea party protesters, Glenn Beck, global warming, and creationism. Again.....very, very boring. His vicious trashy sniping and constant libels against decent people are a turnoff as well. The man is a grade-a loser. In LGF, he had a brand new, full loaded porsche, and he drove that sumbitch right into the ocean. Crash!
