Welcome back, Randman
I was worried when I saw that you were banned. There has to be at least someone to argue with, otherwise the board is boring.
On Jerry Springer:
The quote is mine
It's from a thread specifically discussing the method by which the debate is addressed. I was not refering to the Creationists as members of the Jerry Springer audience. I was refering to the American Public as the audience. An analogy I stand by. (After all, they are his audience)
Too often public debate on this subject (or any subject) is reduced to three word slogans that fit on protest signs.
If we are to have a scientific debate, both sides need to address science - not sound bites.
Additionally, I'd like to draw a distinction between generalizing the kind of debate/tactics being used by a side and an attack on a particular person from that side. (though, I have seen you be admonished for refering to tactics as I did here).
