I'm referring to the practice particularly of quote mining when it should be clear that it is a deliberate misrepresentation of scientists' views. It amounts to lying about what they have said. You did endorse this SoSick. I'm having trouble understanding why anyone would want to do this -- presumably creationists are secure enough that their beliefs are right that they have no need to try to distort what their opponents are saying? And how is making a strawman of your opponent's position an honest way of presenting yours?
