== Vulgar metaphors on the page [[Talk:Theory of evolution]] ==
Ladies and gentlemen, the debate on the above page is getting increasingly vulgar. Here is the latest example:
:Vulgarity TerryH? Are you as clueless of the definition of that word as you are of evolution? Please.
: In any case, both Dimensio and Murray are quite right (as was I): evolution does not give a rat's behind whether a god or gods exist or don't exist, it is utterly irrelevant to the theory.
:Now, what Dawkins writes regarding theology is his own opinion and has no bearing on the science of evolution. As Dimensio says, Dawkins is a piss-poor theologian and his arguments, poor as they are, are his own. In my opinion, both theists and atheists, especially of the rabid variety (Benny Hinn and Richard Dawkins) are intellectual fools: as any deities would exist in the realm of the paranormal, there is no way to either prove nor disprove their existence -- arguing vehemently and vociferously on either side of the equation is a waste of brain cells. Personally, I don't care if deities exist, I'm more concerned with being a good father, good friend, etc. [[User:NousEpirrhytos|NousEpirrhytos]] 07:42, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
Urine, ladies and gentlemen? And the pudendum of ''Rattus rattus''? And the saliva of hamsters, which was what I originally replied to and cited as vulgar? (In addition to User NousEpirrhytos, the other offender is User Dimensio.)
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm too close to this. But if someone is going to use vulgar metaphors, then I think perhaps some short-term blocks would be in order--perhaps for a day or two or three. But rather than take that action unilaterally (because it might appear to be self-serving), I now lay it before you all.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 08:17, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
