To put it simply, Bex, I think he was referring to the title of this thread, which is "Evolution, the big joke." If I'd very cleverly started one called "Creationism, the big joke," you mean you wouldn't bat an eyelid? If I very cleverly called April Fools Day, Christians Day instead, you wouldn't bat an eyelid? For that matter, if I very cleverly wrote that cartoon about Hovind teaching a physics class, you wouldn't bat an eyelid? What, can't you take a joke?

Some people here are unable to write a post without including silly below-the-belt personal remarks. I try to ignore it now because it's obviously not going to stop, there is no moderation here which has any interest in making it stop.

I do agree, though, I'd much prefer to focus on the issues and avoid bickering. If you could help encourage such a focus here I'd be much obliged.
