William J Murray: Quote Why give them the satisfaction of disrupting discussions in order to get banned yet again to replenish their reserve of self-righteous outrage? Silver Asiatic: Quote That would not be very good, true. I’ve been away from UD for a while and upon returning it just seems that some very good posts here do not get challenged from opposition. I assumed that it was because we lost many opponents from banning – and perhaps they learned a lesson on how to interact appropriately here. But perhaps the better reason is that ID arguments are so much stronger that nobody can really challenge them. The sound of quietness from our opposition is a sound of victory for ID. So, that’s a very good thing! (I wouldn’t want trolling, empty arguments just for the sake of activity anyway). You just can't make this shit up. Starts at comment 13.

Fer feck's sake lads, what the everloving fuck is wrong with this planet to let let that happen? A few days ago someone on twitter suggested that if you are invited to a Halloween party, you should turn up, break everything & then just say you've come as 2016. Remember at the start of the year when we were bemoaning 2016 taking such great musicians? Turns out, they were just the warm-up act. Oh, no, no, no, no - did you have to make that quip? -------------- We no longer say: “Another day; another bad day for Darwinism.” We now say: “Another day since the time Darwinism was disproved.” -PaV, Uncommon Descent, 19 June 2016

Starting about 10 years ago, I even stopped getting interviews for academic jobs that I am eminently qualified for. Just like Dr. Dr. D.  Unemployable at any institution of higher learning, secular or religious.  Even for jobs he just knows he's eminently qualified for. I think I'll call this phenomIna the Gonzalez Syndrome.  That's when you just know you're qualified to do a job, but nobody else believes you. Besides Messrs Gonzalez and Sheldon, other sufferers from GS include Denyse O'Leary, who just knows she's cut out for a job in the legitimate media and who instead has to content herself with cheering it's demise.

REC Posts: 638 Joined: Sep. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Nov. 13 2016,16:44    I haven't had time to look often, but has Barry lost interest in his own site? Maybe he's busy with other "business": Quote On Oct. 24, two days after this story ran, Rep. Tim Leonard amended his campaign finance filing to correctly identify the consulting firm. It is Rearden Strategic, owned by attorney Barry Arrington. Quote Leonard has so far spent $19,752, with the largest payment of $9,764, for consulting services, to Reared Strategic, Inc.. The company isn’t listed in the Secretary of State’s business database. The Jefferson County Assessor’s office has no record of a building at the company’s address, which is reported in Leonard’s filing as 6372 West Coal Mine Road in Littleton. There is no 6300-block of Coal Mine Road in Littleton, based on both a Google Earth search and an in-person visit by The Independent. Leonard did not return a call and email to respond to questions about the company. Sounds about right..... http://www.coloradoindependent.com/161802....e-races

This gathering will feature scientists and scholars from U.S., U.K., Israel, Germany, and Sweden, plus leading advocates of intelligent design well known to readers of Evolution News, including Stephen Meyer, Douglas Axe, Ann Gauger, and Paul Nelson. If you found the RS meeting less provocative than you might have expected, join us tomorrow morning for a full day of challenging and candid discussion. That second paragraph can be translated as, "Cranks from five nations, including the remnants of the Discovery Institute, have rented a hall in Cambridge for a bitching session." I wonder if Cambridge knows who rented Hughes Hall.  Sounds like another "Cornell ID Conference" to me. Link Edited to add: Oops, you missed it.  The conference was on Saturday, Nov 12.  The same day as the UD posting.  Good show! Edited by CeilingCat on Nov. 14 2016,16:32
