I have shouted in the leaden ears of nitwits. I have expended in long and fruitless debates electrons that could have been used to view naked ladies. So why are we devoting so much time and effort to Uncommonly Dense? It's not as if it was the focus of some potent conspiracy: if anything, its a refuge for the mediocre and insignificant. It's not the fulcrum of fundie fulmination: that distinction goes to AIG and the likes. There is far greater scope for sock-puppet tomfoolery there. Dembski, Densye and Davetard, the Three Stooges of Intelligent Droolery, are simply boring. They have exhausted their potential for scientific ridicule, political pummelling, and even for satire. There is a wealth of talent and intelligence in this forum that could be put to use elsewhere. I propose that the focus of this establishment be moved to places more important to the culture wars (I nearly typed 'wards', which was serendipitous), and which provide far more scope for entertainment.   Certainly, UD harbours a few nuggets of anti-talent whose exploits can and should be exploited. But this could be done more fruitfully in the wider context of the creationist family, of which ID is merely the Son We Sent To College But Who Ended Up A Bum Like The Rest Of Us.

Favourite haunts are usually lurkeries suggested by FSTDT.com, though I have resorted to the odd manumanekin. More tomow: bed beckons; Sleep, sleep, that knits the ravell'd sleeve of care...

As the grand master Lenny Flank said more than a year ago, ID is dead.  All that is left is lineage sorting and ultimate extinction, as none of these morphs are ecologically viable. I think you are presuming that we are not engaged on other fronts of the culture wards.  I am.  I'm not sure of everyone else.  But even if they weren't, UD is just good frikkin tard and that is warrant enough. -------------- You're obviously illiterate as hell. Peach, bro.-FtK Finding something hard to believe based on the evidence, is science.-JoeG the odds of getting some loathsome taint are low-- Gordon E Mullings Manjack Heights Montserrat I work on molecular systems with pathway charts and such.-Giggles

But then a melt-down would happen, and then another one, and now he's given up.  So, be patient.  Another meltdown will be along soon.  It may not shake the handsets of the Baylor Board of Regents, but it'll be worth waiting for. -------------- It is fun to dip into the various threads to watch cluelessness at work in the hands of the confident exponent. - Soapy Sam (so say we all)

Right on Bob. Yes, we must be ever vigilent in the fight against tard, yet tard-watch has its own reward.  Although I never slow down to look at a car wreck on the highway, I am drawn to the absurdity of the UD posters and sycophants, and find it endlessly amusing.  IMO, UD = Is Cartoons For Adults I think that the biggest reason to come here as often as I do though is that the style and content of the posters here at ATBC.  I hate to sound like a UD suck-up, but without the commentators participation here, it wouldn't be as much fun. It's like visiting the Daily Show set, and being to interact with the guests.   Thanks again to all that participate.   We now return you to the regularly scheduled bashing. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11
