Too Simple to Be Wrong: Atheism's Bronze-Age Goat Herder Conceit

45. Hmmmmm..no response...interesting.

That certainly smacks of the kind of hit-and-run tactics that the bayer clan is famous for. Attack, and then run away and refuse to address any substantive points raised in the response.

Ok, let's make this simple and direct. Here's what cbayer said in a recent post:

And I hope Dawkins is going the way of his much beloved dinosaurs.

Questions for you:

In light of your impassioned call for civility from ALL participants, what do you think of a post that hopes for the death of someone you don't agree with or like?

What does it say about a person who would make such a post?

What is the appropriate response of decent people to such a post, if not personal condemnation?

Is this something that a decent person should apologize for, or should it be given a pass? Will YOU call for cbayer to retract and apologize for this post, in the same light as you've presumed to upbraid others, or will you devise an excuse not to?

Oh, and btw...failure to respond will be duly noted, and will have me and a few other people wondering whether you're actually in cahoots with cbayer on this whole thing..or something worse.
