Sigh.

pete does not offend me. No-one here ever offends me. Only people in real life are capable of that (and they don't, generally speaking). In any case, I have no right not be be offended. Religion has no right not to be offended, even though it has tried to pretend to have that right by cutting people's heads off and putting them under house arrest or throwing them into dungeons. Religious people actually deserve to be offended if they open their mouths to children and other vulnerable people with their wicked and harmful lies.

pete is profoundly offensive for the following reasons. He pretends to discuss but his ears and eyes are tight shut. He is wasting your time quite deliberately, and, to me, that is very offensive behaviour. He is extremely insulting to honest and hard-working scientists, using pejorative words to characterise them. He repeats the same nonsense in the same terms over and over again, taking advantage of your good nature. He pretends to be involved in discussion, but he is not here for that at all. He is simply here to dishonestly discredit science and peddle his creationist nonsense. Pure poison. Finally, he writes lazily and illiterately even though he is capable of doing it properly. He doesn't give a monkey's. Now none of this offends me in the slightest, but it is all highly offensive. There is a difference. Now what's going to happen next is that I'm going to be told that I'm offensive too. Worse than him. Which justifies his offensiveness, which you'll say isn't offensiveness at all. He's just a misguided little sweetie, isn't he. Ahhh! Good. Fire away!
