Moderator Warning
I'm a participant in this thread, not a moderator, but eugenics is so far off-topic and so many people from both sides are chiming in that I'm going to step in.
Everyone: the topic is whether sense organs could evolve. Please get on topic.

Hi IamJoseph,
You're just going from thread to thread posting nonsense. Please stop participating in this thread.

Re: Eyes, Remember?
Hi Portillo,
Moderators try to discourage insults, but in this case they seem to be born out of frustration. You posted Message 220 two weeks ago, received 5 responses, answered none. You posted Message 226 a week ago, received 4 responses, answered none. If you're going to post provocative claims like there's no such thing as a simple eye and then not respond, you've got to expect some frustration. I think the other participants are beginning to wonder if you've slipped into drive-by mode (i.e., just pass through from time to time and occasionally posting with no intention of following up).
Panda's suggestion seems sound, just respond to Message 230, or at least some messages so that there can be actual discussion, and so that people understand why you would say things that, at least on the surface, seem clearly wrong.

I responded to Granny Magda twice didnt I?
So your response to a moderator message noting your lack of response to recent posts and requesting that you respond to at least some of them is to respond with a message notable for it unresponsiveness? Interesting.
To repeat, Panda's suggestion seems sound, just respond to Message 230, or at least some messages so that there can be actual discussion, and so that people understand why you would say things that, at least on the surface, seem clearly wrong.
Please, no replies to this message.
Edited by Admin, : Minor cleanup.
