I couldn't let this pass from Clive:


Quote

Allen_MacNeill,

“In brief, “fitness” is a measure of reproductive success.”

Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy?

And secondly, Darwin must not have been very fit himself by that measure.


So the only reason scientists propose theories is that the said theories make them look good - Darwin's theory makes Darwin himself look bad - ergo evolution is rubbish. Words fail. Actually, just FAIL.

Erk! My first excursion into the TARD mines! What horrors await?

Ooops comment number above in link should be 307724. What happened to my edit button? It used to work. I mildly taunted FtK with it once. *sulk*

What sort of time machine were you thinking of, David? Please answer carefully.


LOL

I wonder if Clive of UD is aware he is just another player in the running joke that is UD.

It took a good thirty seconds for to get it. Is there a sock puppet comment of the week?

Arthur, calling Denyse names is abusive, insulting and obscene.
Clive, I tried searching the site in question, but the facility offered appears unworkable. I scrolled back over as many comments as I could find, and I can’t find any insults to Denyse written by Bob.
By coincidence I did see Amanda Gefter (writing in this week’s New Scientist) referring to Denyse thusly:
Quote
from the staid…-to the silly-”Yer granny was an ape!” (creationist blogger Denyse O’Leary)

It seems Denyse is getting noticed!
You wiill find Gefter's full text here.

I have never posted at UD. I have never run a sock puppet account here, there or elsewhere. I am wondering if my rep as a big ol meanie would mean that I am pre-banninated at UD.

I am tempted to discard my burdensome UD virginity and whore my intellectual parts over at that brothel of bewildered bumptiousness that is UD. However, I suspect the results would be predictable and so I shall resist temptation. Anyway, my status as possibly the only non-banninated AtBCer is valuable, and should not be abandoned on a whim. I shall maintain my UD virginity and defend my virtue from such wanton TARD and thus remain inviolate.

Ah but I can gaze wistfully across the waters and wonder what bannination might feel like....

You can be sure Master Clive esq. rev. ret. will never get it.

anyone want to explain why that is funny?  what sort of time machine?  answer carefully?

the very idea of Darwin=> De Soto or whatever is hilarious to me but i don't get the rest.

and Loose stop playing like you haven't been posting as Borne for two or three years.  the sanctimony would give you away if we didn't already know about your 'common sense rules the world' stratagem.    as gay as you are, you can't resist Everyman.  or any man.  I offer Philip Skell as proof*.

Hi Professor Myers

I don't know if you are aware of Uncommon Descent blog site, formally Bill Dembski's, now run by his minion, the lawyer Barry Arrington. Barry has extended you a public invitation to comment at UD. There are some of us who comment at Wesley Elsberry's "After the Bar Closes" that thought some trenchant comments from you on, "evo-devo" for example, would make a valuable contribution to the level of discourse there. Anyway, I just thought you should be aware of the offer.

George L Farquhar: I’ll address each of your points in turn, in light of your original stagement

That's gonna take some time.

Quote
George L Farquhar: You are a fine one to talk. Your responsiveness to the truth is ZERO. Your ability to correct when found to be in error is ZERO.

Irony, thy name is Kariosfocus.

George L Farquhar is doing a great job. He's like a Pit Bull with a bone. The Argument Regarding Design is always based on one fallacy or another. It's just a matter of pointing out the fallacy or misrepresentation, then not letting go until it's been corrected or retracted.

This example is instructive. No matter how obvious and trivial the error, kairosfocus is incapable of admitting to it, even after many thousands of words. There is never any possibility of any real discussion of the issues because you can never establish a solid foundation on which to build such a discussion.

So it goes.

Quote
George L Farquhar: If you can admit you are in error then perhaps such a discussion can take place. Until you do so, it cannot.

Onlookers take note!

If a civilian stumbles in unawares, they may find themselves sinking in quagmire, because words in ID are slippery and facts are optional. This includes scientists who are not properly trained and equipped for the The Argument Regarding Design™. Even the most highly educated and intelligent people often assume others have a genuine desire to communicate and to learn—a very dangerous assumption when entering the Mines.

About 4.5 hours ago I posted this on Barry's new moderation policy thread (it has not appeared):

         
Quote
I'm a biologist (32 years since PhD) working in genetics, virology and evolution.  I am delighted to hear of this new moderation policy and I look forward to being able to post here now.

I will simply note for now that often scientific findings are counterintuitive.  It is the data that matters, not suppositions based on common sense.


Too confrontational?

I think the word you are looking for is "Vicious". It's a vicious personal attack and therefore unsuitable for inclusion at a refined scientifical forum such as UD. Drop the insults, the foul language, the pathetic mindless mischaracterizations, hate speech, puppy butchering and fascism and try again, somewhere else, in a year or so you racist chance worshipping bastard holocaust causer.

HTH.

Barry Arrington: UD’s moderation policy is fairly simple: As a general rule, so long as your comment is not defamatory profane, or a vicious personal attack, you can say pretty much what you want.

That is simply a lie, a mistruth, a blatant misrepresentation, self-delusion, willful prevarication, a perversion of the truth, not an accurate statement.

Louis - You might last 1 post at UD as your normal, caring, selfless, kind and understanding internet persona - but personally I think you are on their pre-banned list.

Give it a try!  I am sure they are looking forward to building a long-term realtionship with a real working scientist that can not abide stupidity and tard in any form, and that can deliver them the smack-down that they know God wants them to receive and that they deserve for their sins -  in Latin, French and good crisp Anglo Saxon verbiage.

We are looking forward to the ensuing carnage many fruitful posts.



ps:  Please save your posts - or you will vanish into Bannination Land.

I have a confession to make. It is a dark secret I have been hiding forever, but Louis has set an example and I have to confess. I have never been banned from UD. I have never had an account there. I am very ashamed and will hold my manhood cheap whilst those who were banned on St. Crispin's day speak of their legendary bannations...

When I grow up I want to write like Zachriel.  His prose perfectly combines expressiveness and economy, every word pulling its own weight.

It's very clear that the censors at UD are never going to allow open discussion.  The appropriate response is for those who value intellectual honesty and integrity to refuse to participate there, but the siren lure of On-line Statements Requiring Correction is too great for most mere mortals.

I've been thinking of periodically posting the most egregious examples of UDiocy to talk.origins.  The regulars there have way too much time on their hands and well-honed weapons for eviscerating ridiculous claims.  At the very least that would ensure that a Google search for UD topics would cough up some rational responses.

(Zac's) prose perfectly combines expressiveness and economy, every word pulling its own weight.


I've alway thought that of Evelyn Waugh perhaps the finest proponent of the English language in prose.
Who incidently is Dawkins favorite author, even though Waugh was a Catholic apologist, plenty of woo and rustling behind the curtains. Waugh hated James Joyce of course probably because Waugh couldn't hold his drink as well as Joyce...oh and Joyce was putative athiest who spent his whole life rewriting a bible of sorts that is to say a book of nonlinear sleepy pyschotropic fables...Finnegans Wake.

So I guess you could say that I'm saying is Zac is a homo Catholic apologist who can't hold his drink.....oh wait this isn't UD.

Sorry Zac.
