And that's part of the way things go on this listserve. Some folks 
are censured or even banned for their language, and others are 
allowed to get away with it.

I am interested in an honest discussion on the subject, as Sam is 
engaging in, causing me to think and rethink various evidence and arguments.

I am NOT interested in the name-calling, nor in the moderators 
apparently allowing that to go on, which diverts from the actual 
discussion of the facts, and which is why a number of strong 
activists have already been driven from this listserve.

Chandler, your characterizations really are unfortunate, and block 
real discussion from occurring.
