Well said, Richard. There is plenty of evidence on this board which substantiates your point. At least one person on this board expresses religious views that, one could argue, are so ridiculous that we could just laugh them off. Unfortunately, his views, though probably harmlessly risible in our own context here, chime with a very significant anti-science movement which has harassed thousands of science teachers in the US and persuaded many millions of people that evolution is a lie. By any measure, this is sheer wickedness. I don't think the perpetrator in question is necessarily being intentionally wicked himself (he hasn't revealed anything like the intellectual prowess for that), but he does not deserve to be patiently indulged and humoured and thereby legitimised. His views are insulting trash and they need to be trashed. Mercilessly, I'd say. He gets free speech and so should we.
