I don't recall ever being other than sceptical of ID claiming some scientific validity and nothing has changed on that score. Elizabeth Liddle's approach to ID proponents has been a revelation. Treating ID proponents (at least those commenters on accessible ID site willing at least to attempt the odd bit of dialogue) has been an effective strategy in getting some to at least reflect a little.
My concerns have always been for the free exchange of ideas and I haven't always seen eye-to-eye with Wesley on moderation here. (I have the greatest respect for him, notwithstanding) Thus I felt a little obligated to test the water when hints were dropped that I was "unbanned" at UD. I thought, fair enough, but no compromise! I'll post what I think, as and when I feel like it and not give in to a "death-by-cop" temptation. What a disappointment! I obviously wasn't a sharp enough thorn-in-the-side.
I have picked up some disapproval for contributing to their bandwidth and I apologize for that. Anyway, having reflected on Kantian Naturalist's suggestion, I think it would be fun to try and let's see what happens. I'll try and contact fellow sceptics who might join the experiment but if anyone else has direct contact with likely candidates please help by passing on the idea and joining in. |
After the mass banning last year UD was left to its own devices for some time - it was a revelation. The site never fully recovered. It might be time to repeat the experiment. |
