Someone put an article on "Crackpot" into Conservapedia, and I just
couldn't resist adding "William Dembski" to the "See Also" section.
Banned for life in only six minutes.

Not by far. I do think that article is going to be a tarpit, though. |
Hard for anyone to pass up.

Rational people shouldn't participate. It will be an amusing
experiment to see how far off the deep end they go before someone
pulls the plug or tries to moderate the lunacy.

Amazing, as Dembski fits the difinition so closely, it could almost
have been modelled on him. |

Dembski is an IC: irreducibly crackpot.

I gave it a go over there for a little while, but after my 1st sock
got banned (for suggesting that HPV vaccine might actually be
effective) I've decided to give it a rest. While I was there, though,
I did observe one editor named Auld Nick who had a very interesting
form of reverse vandalism.
He would watch for articles that suggested that any form of evolution
might have occurred, and notified the sysop running the evolution
page. That sysop would butcher the article to remove references to
evolution and add references to creationism, and then ban any editor
who tried to change it back.
He did the same thing with dates over 6000 years and a YEC editor, and
with any page that suggested something other than a literal bible
interpretation, and with any page that suggested that Homosexuals
might not be sinful child molesting perverts. The editors did all the
vandalism for him, it was a sight to behold.
Conservapedia has long since lost a chance to be a reasonable
alternative to wiki; indeed it was probably doomed from the start.
Almost any editor that disagreed with Andy Schlafly got booted off the
site in the last 2 weeks, with most of it happening on May 16, what is
now referred to as "The Night of the Dull Knives." |

Of course not. There is only *one* Cliff Clavin.

What, you're expecting logical consistency from someone whose last name is
"Schlafly"?
I have to wonder if part of why he argues so vehemently against the descent
of possibly-genetically-influenced traits is that he's descended from his
mom, who is, I must reveal, an alumna of my own alma mater (her AB in 1944 at
the age of 19(!), her JD in 1978, when I was finishing up my own frosh year).
Yeesh. We'll graduate anyone.
-JAH, AB 1981 - Go Bears!
as if I care about the Bears. "bears", sure. |
