Evolutionists have a compulsion to censor opposing or alternative views. This can be seen, among other places, on wikis. So, hypothetically, if there was a wiki whose pro-evolution was locked to prevent editing by anyone except for a single sysop, and where anyone who attempted to add alternative views was reverted or blocked, would that be an example of the type of censorship you have in mind?

- "insist that their belief in evolution must somehow be true" Isn't "their belief" superfluous? "Believing" something is "holding it to be true", so someone must believe it's true to believe it at all. --Toffeeman 09:06, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
- The locking is due to the prevalence of evolution syndrome. If someone can propose a solution, I welcome it.
- No, "their belief" is not superfluous. There are are different beliefs about evolution, but the person who has evolution syndrome insists that his belief is true to the exclusion of other beliefs. Most normal people do not take that attitude.--Aschlafly 09:21, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
