:As always, thanks for the input!  I'm sure sure if I have the authority to block him again, since I have not been a firsthand witness of his actions.  Also, I hesitate to do indefinite IP blocks, since IPs get reassigned from time to time.  Then someone who's done noting wrong may end up being blocked.  However, at least a non-IP user block shouldn't do any harm.  :Regarding your other points:

:*They do cite it all the time, yes, and as you said, many other offensive and incorrect sites.  I've even cited HuffingtonPost on occasion as well, for topics which are not controversial, so I'm guilty of this as well.  I will say that for your first two points, it is just generally bad practice to cite a wiki such as Wikipedia when writing like this.  I would be as opposed to citing WP (for anything other than that about PC itself) on CP, and I would be to citing CP on WP (for anything other than the last exclusion).  I think some the the resistance to linking to WP comes from this, not just a dislike for WP itself.

:*I agrees on not overusing "liberal," but in this case, I don't believe I misused it.  I mean no offense to you, but not only do those who are politically liberal promote evolution, but also I believe those who are spiritually liberal.  It is my belief (and that of many others as well) that theistic evolution is just an attempt to fit fake science into Christian beliefs.  Ultimately, you end up back at plain old evolution, with just the idea of God as "The Great Clock-Winder."  No matter the basis behind it, evolution is a new, liberal idea as a whole.  Therefore, his support and promotion of evolution seems inherently liberal.  Before Darwin, Creation was the only widely-accepted plausible explanation for our existence.  Macro-evolution is, therefore, a progressive or liberal concept, which is now being supported by the majority of the western world. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 23:16, 4 September 2016 (EDT)
