I suspect that Obama bashing more than CSS drivel threw things over the top.

No one is "bashing" of Obama, though some of us are criticising nearly everything about him and his agenda for remaking America into what it is not. It appears that what put things over the top is that somehow, for a few hours, "the community" were experiencing having all their posts vanished, just as they have been doing to me for the past few months (and as they did to me a couple of years ago). Mr Maunder didn't/doesn't appear to mind that "the community's" method of "argument" amounts to nothing more than "Yer stoopid." Mr Maunder didn't/doesn't appear to mind that "the community's" response when "Yer stoopid" doesn't do the trick is to vanish posts. Mr Maunder *does* appear to mind when "the community" gets back its own medicine.

Do you really believe that that's the reason? :confused:

Your :confused: is your own fault (as usual). I stated a plain observation, I made no attempt to explain it.

Don't care. What I AM interested in is you proving you're smarter than the peer-review process and thousands of biologists.

Which is to say, you're not interested in *reasoning* (and doing so honestly and validly) but rather in "authority" and the assertion thereof. Which is, of course, why you kiddies want to silence me.

I'm still waiting.

Questioning authority is fine. Questioning Gods actions is taboo. Oh, wait. That doesn't seem to make sense.

We call that the Zeppelin Paradox. It demonstrates the contradictions that arise with our choice of axioms. Since God is real, we can thus conclude that reality isn't.

And free will doesn't exist, since if it did, God wouldn't be omnipotent/omniscient. Well that and that whole Deus ex machina thingy...

And aliens exist, since if they didn't, my great-uncle Ted would be a liar. And evolution is wrong, since if it was right, I wouldn't like it. And the Holocaust never happened, since if it did, my great-uncle Ted would be a liar.
