"Shimrod, I often agree with you, but your last sneering post is unworthy of anyone who calls himself a socialist."

Well, Ake, "I never promised you a rose garden"!

Generally, I try to treat people with respect but some people are not worthy of respect - particularly people who don't appear to be able to think for themselves. Pete continually parrots stuff from creationist websites but when, on previous threads, a number of us have asked that he present evidence to support his beliefs he has merely parroted back "show me your evidence!" then sneered at any evidence that doesn't fit with what he has chosen to believe in. To reject the whole of modern science because it doesn't support your beliefs is beyond silly!

And, Mo, there is plenty of evidence that hitting people with hammers causes injuries!
