If you [Elizabeth Liddle] will listen to some advice, I would imagine that the reason you might have been “distracted” is that you spend an inordinate amount of time blogging and debating on the internet. You are often arguing on several UD threads at a time, blogging on your own site, and as far as I understand it, commenting on other sites and/or communicating with other bloggers (e.g., Todd Wood) as well. I estimate that most weeks your total time investment must be 10 to 20 hours. (Probably closer to the higher figure, given the number of books and papers you report you are reading about evolution, design, etc.) How someone who is a full-time university professor of neuroscience and psychology, with research, teaching and adminstrative duties, and family duties as well (which you have mentioned here), can afford the time to wrangle so much every week about evolution is beyond me. I would think that keeping up with all the neuroscience and psychology journals would be more than one could handle, without trying to become an expert on evolutionary biology and trying to destroy ID on the side. Of course, it’s your business how you use your time. But the very scattery kind of life you must live explains how you could easily be distracted from a thread. I would suggest restricting the number of threads you participate in, not only for the purpose of time management, but so that the quality of discussion (both your listening and your responding) can be higher. (Better a dinner at a fine steak house once a week than eating out seven days in a row at McDonald’s, or, if you will, Wimpy’s.) But of course, you are free to reject all such advice.
