    Strange, strange people. I'm accused of being ignorant of biology. Yeah. This will probably be why I seldom talk about biology with occasional dips into herpetology, neuroscience & evolutionary psychology where I have read a little. I study critical theory. What do people want?

        What they want is to marginalize you so they don’t have to contend with your arguments.

        You to stop pointing out the shell game. Don't ever. Your insight into the links of postmodernism psychologically filling the same void religion does probably rings true to many of them too, and I am sure they don't like how that feels much at all.

        Just ignore them and keep doing what you do. I often come away feeling a little bit smarter after having read one of your pieces, which are always thought provoking and informative.

        To find a way to shut you up. Don't let them. These people are fucking trap door spiders...waiting for a trigger to pounce; vultures who circle looking for weakness. Let them get close and make a damned meal out of them. In the meantime -- Illigitime non carborundum.

        Helen, they want you not to have a well informed opinion contrary to their own. Too bad for them, eh? 😉

        Of course, whatever they are arguing proably is not a biological argument.
