Re: several things...that are off topic
Hopefully your reading comprehension is up to this: Take your smug superiority and cram it up your ass. We can all recognize gibberish when we read it, thank you very much.
I’m able to produce posts on a basic reading level.
I doubt it. You're certainly not able to reason on a basic level, or any apparent level.
In light of your situation, a note shall be made to refrain from using big words such as rationale, disputability, unascertained, appropriation and such, whenever possible.
Perhaps if you used those words correctly, it would be better. Of course, then it would be immediately obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Seriously, if there's one thing I can't abide, it's people who act like every idle thought of theirs is a treasure that must be hoarded and concealed behind a smokescreen of obfuscatory nonsense. Bailey - you're simply not that smart. And we're not very likely to esteem the intelligence of someone who refuses to just come out and say what they mean.

Re: several things...that are off topic
For one, you have no idea of my background.
Whose fault is that? If you believe your background is relevant, then you should be taking steps to communicate that background in a concise and readable way, rather than using the forum to see how much self-important nonsense you can cram into a post.
Secondly, I’ve declared openly on numerous occasions that I’m mildly retarded.
Oh, I doubt that very much. There's nothing wrong with you except for your monstrous ego, and a bad habit of assuming that intelligent writing means writing that no one can understand.
That being said, obfuscation, arrogance, and sarcasm seem to be a touchstone of this forum.
One out of three. Yes, we're sarcastic sometimes. It's the internet. You'll just have to grow up about it.
Some people here are actually experts in the field of biology. It may seem like arrogance when they communicate their expertise to laypeople, but it's not. And the use of technical language to communicate technical concepts is not obfuscatory; it's a necessary part of communicating scientific ideas. It can't be helped.
When we're talking about evolution, we're talking about things that are sometimes so far outside the common scope of experience that special words and terms are needed to describe them. It's hardly obfuscatory to do so. And it does mean that people who want to talk about evolution are going to have to do a little homework first, and acquaint themselves with the terminology and concepts of the field.
All that, of course, is a far cry from what you've been doing, when you've been using florid prose and tangled metaphors to conceal a complete lack of meaningful content in your posts.
I hope I haven’t pissed you and nator off past the point of reconciliation. I’d hate to lose any of you folks.
So, take your own advice. Be good. Don't try to palm off nonsense on us and pretend like it's Shakespeare. We can tell the difference, I assure you.
