I suggest that you consider this in the light of your own behaviour.

I try to. It's easier to imagine other's problems though, eh Richard.

No Glenn. I'd hate to imagine what is going on in the incoherent sewer
of your mind.

So the desire to insult me calls you to irrationality. It is easier to
see other peoples problems than it is to see your own. Your own
behavior contradicts your claim.

I don't "desire to insult" you, Glenn. I insult you because your
behaviour on this forum is dishonest, arrogant, infantile and
ignorant.

So you don't want to insult me, but you do. And you'd "hate to
imagine" what goes on in my mind, but you do.
You're beginning to sound like a loon and not just stupid, Richard.
Seems you have a following of same as well.
Don't think that you are insulting me, consider that you are insulting
yourself when you make all these claims
yet don't make one whit of effort in supporting them even when
challenged to do so.

You see, there is a difference between us. When I attack and accuse
you of something, it is almost alway in direct context to an ongoing
event.
For example, the last time was when I challenged your claim about the
DI "acknowledging" that ID isn't scientific. Your behavior
in that thread called for "insult".
When you attack, it is like in this thread. No support, just like an
delinquent lashing out using whatever words he can think of. And it
should show
that you have some problem with me other than belief in your insults.

I don't think it irrational to detest someone who is blatantly
dishonest and crows about their moral superiority.

Really, Richard. Don't you think that "blatant" behavior and "crowing"
would be easy to document? Or can't you be bothered to back up what
you say.

Let's see:
In this thread you mischaracterise the nature of the "ad hominem"
fallacy and insist on your incorrect version. That's arrogance and
ignorance all in one.

There's your silly habit of posting snippets from scientific papers
and press releases imagining that they represent some sort of problem
for evolutionary theory. That's ignorance.

Then there's your habit of misrepresenting what your critics are
saying. That's dishonesty.

There's also your habit of snipping the awkward parts of the posts to
which you are responding. That's more dishonesty.
