Nobody seems to have commented here for a bit. Have we all been banninated?

I was skimming through some recent posts on UD when I came across the following from the oleaginous Cordova:

Nick Matzke is the famous former employee of the National Center for Selling Evolution (NCSE). For many years, he has been on the frontlines on the war on ID. His finest hour was at the Dover Trial where he provided a lot of technical support to the ACLU lawyers.

Matzke’s attacks on ID are fundamentally based on misrepresentation, strawman arguments, equivocation, distortions, etc. Well, it seems his way of doing business has finally caught up with him. There is poetic justice in his public humiliation at the hands of fellow Darwinists.


Since poor Matzke seems to be taking flak from both creationists and atheists that would seem to suggest that, far from cozying up to religion, he's actually occupying some sort of middle ground because that's where you tend to get fired on by both sides.

Well, he's not in the middle [edit - the exact center I mean], but he if you imagine atheism and theism on opposite sides, with creationists a group on the theist side (with theistic evolutionists a bit closer to the center), he occupies a part a bit closer to the center than them.  He seems to be concerned only with one issue, and when you start firing shots in all directions in service to that one issue, then you can expect that you'll get hit from all sides.
