Ad hominem attack against the silly folk who believed fossils were demonic deceptions or tests of faith.
But you attributed it to people who have never held such a belief.

I believe in movies this sort of comment is referred to as a Throw Away Line. You say it and it's more or less filler.
If you want to post lies and potshots and claim it's just filler, go ahead. And we'll go ahead and call you on it and neg you for it.

I didn't attribute it to ANYONE on TOL, and for very good reason. Not even the nuttiest posters on TOL have ever said the devil faked fossils. (That I know of.) "You people" is a blanket statement I use with regularity. But I would NEVER be demented enough to think anybody here actually thinks/thought that dinosaurs are the devil's deception.

The problem is your perception and misunderstanding of a passing comment. If you're this uptight and defensive, it's your problem and not mine.

I may need to borrow your crayons.

Are you unfamiliar with the common idiom, "the pot calling the kettle black"?

I am familiar, however I failed to see how it would fit into this discussion. As well I'm used to people accusing me of being a pothead since I favor its legalization.

Maybe you people should choose your words more discriminately.

Again, thank you for conceding that post #40, as written, was untrue.

Unclear. Not untrue. I should have inserted one or two words to clarify it. Ah well. Moving on, anybody?

I take this as a very good sign.

You people will NEVER rule the country much less the world if this is the best behavior you can cough up.

What a heck of an afternoon. A passing remark blown out of proportion and some of you guys have to make yourselves feel good by repping someone on a BULLETIN BOARD. That's like leaving nasty anonymous notes in someone's desk in grade school.

Hey, if it makes you happy!:cool:
