[[Intelligent design]] advocate John West offered the following commentary behind the decline of public support of the evolutionary position: "The [[Charles Darwin|Darwin]]-only crowd is losing public support. There seems to be a backlash against [[Suppression of alternatives to evolution|the strong-arm tactics that have been used in recent years to censor and intimidate scientists, teachers, and students who raise criticisms of Darwin]].”<ref>http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/43417</ref>

=== Common behavior of online evolutionists ===
In February of 2010, the news organization ''The Telegraph'' reported that [[atheism|atheist]] and evolutionist Richard Dawkins was embroiled "in a bitter online battle over plans to rid his popular internet forum for atheists of foul language, insults and 'frivolous gossip'."<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/7322177/Richard-Dawkins-in-bitter-web-censorship-row-with-fellow-atheists.html</ref> Given that ''Wired Magazine'' and [[Vox Day]] declared for [[Atheism appears to be significantly less appealing to women| various reasons that atheists tend to be quarrelsome, socially challenged men]], it is not surprising the online dispute was bitter. In addition, Richard Dawkins [[Abrasiveness of Richard Dawkins|has a reputation for being abrasive]].
In 2010, the [[Christian apologetics]] website [[True Free Thinker]] wrote:

There is a widespread problem with [[Atheist bullying|atheist cyberbullying]] on [[YouTube]] toward [[Christian]] and [[creationism|creationist]] YouTube channels. [[CreationWiki]] has developed a web page entitled [http://creationwiki.org/Creationist_YouTube_video Creationist YouTube video] designed to show creationists how to thwart atheist/evolutionist cyberbullies.
