If Messrs. Blandiver and Musket and Shaw think I have insulted them by criticizing their endless attacks, so be it. I don't wish to insult anyone, but I don't think it's right to attack nonaggressive people for what they hold sacred.

Thanks for the name-check there, Joe. Did you see my post of 31 Mar 14 - 06:33 AM in the Creationism thread? Likewise 01 Apr 14 - 07:59 AM? Which was not an April Fool joke - I happen to take such Forteana very seriously as an aspect of human folklore & fake-believe. However, these thread closures are making a nonsense of sensible discourse!

Anyhoo, once more for the record...

I'm not attacking anyone, just calling into question belief systems and their subsequent cultures. If people hold these things sacred, that's their beeswax, not mine; likewise if they choose to take offense at what I say about them, that is their right and entitlement. I do not set out to cause offense, much less do I take any - not seriously at any rate for as Stan Laurel said, life's not short enough.

Anyway, little point in any of this because no doubt this thread will be gone before much longer. I'm not even bothering to read it much less get involved, just someone said you'd mentioned my name in a post.
