Didn't you mention that you were actually kicked off that EVC site completely, Linda?

Care to share?

Sure, if you want, though I don't think you'll find it very interesting.

The site owner has an ideology which can be described as dogmatic skepticism. You have to conduct your debates there according to the rules that this ideology advocates. I could not abide by that, so when the site owner warned me against complaining about his rules and told me not to reply to his post, I replied to his post, knowing that was the end for me. He was having a clear-out of other people who also were complaining.

This, however, is a matter of how scientific evidence is viewed, researched, and accepted by the mainstream. Most of us who were removed from the site were "evos." I was not insulting anyone, and I always backed up my claims with evidence. I'd never recived a warning there until that point. If I was talking about evolution or creationism there then that wasn't a problem for anybody. The problems arose when I started talking about things like alt med and the paranormal. I did say elsewhere here that some scientists can be insufferably closed-minded and arrogant, though fortunately there are also plenty who are more open-minded and who follow where the evidence leads, as any good scientist should.
