I absolutely agree with you 100%! Some ideas are not worthy of respect. People, always.
Always.
I'm human. If I feel attacked I can be pretty snarky, but generally speaking I will attack ideas strenuously and not attack the person at all. There's no sin in having a bad idea. Anybody can have them. I've had bad ideas by the bushel.
One of my missions in life is to teach people about science. I'm pretty passionate about it. And I'm well aware I can be overbearing. It's something I work on. I came to this site to learn how to get up earlier, get my writing on track and to learn how to make money with the work I love. I have already benefited from Steve's ideas. Imagine my delight when I found that there was also a rich opportunity to teach people about science! (Creationists are all breathing a collective sigh of relief
)
Obviously, I think the universe is beautiful and doesn't need to be sprinkled with pixie dust. I want to help other people to see that beauty and let all the pixie dust go into the bushel with all the other bad ideas you embrace, learn from and discard as you grow.
