Admittedly I'm coming from a different perspective, but I thought Jdjewell's point was an important one to make. I wish that we would see few paragraphs like this:
SLPx writes:
He hasn't been around anywhere for a while (not that I go around looking for him), so frankly, I don't care what a two-bit luny creationist egomaniac is doing, what he thinks, or what people gullible - and stupid - enough to read his disinformation essays with a positive assessment of them have to say about anything.
And that they would instead be expressed like this:
Fred hasn't been anywhere for a while (not that I go looking for him), and frankly I don't care much. Most of what he posts is disinformation, and it's unfortunate that many people unfamiliar with science accept it.
Your reply to posts like this is generally along the lines of, "Well, we all can't be good little doobies," but unless you moderate your tone you won't be here much longer.
