- Because, of all of those polarized pro-evolution, you have generated a
- rather high level of controversy. Of the newer people here, you have
- rivalled Kalki, and perhaps exceeded Ray Cote, in actual verbage
- generated in opposition. Every so often there will be a minor flare-up
- amongst the regulars, like when Bruce Salem goes into the red with
- an argument over the philosophy of the religo-politico agendae of
- TAE's, or when the occasional cladist picks a fight. But you had the
- entire gallery stirred up into a froth for a while.

- Now me, I never could tell who was saying what and what it really meant
- in the Onar Against The World dialogue. So I was neither on your side
- or against it.
-
- But I was not unaware of it.
-
- So, oddity or weirdo? No, I wouldn't say that. But unique, different,
- unusual? Fer sure! Relax and enjoy the distinction, meanwhile honing
- your old arguments for the coming lull (when KD slinks away to commisurate
- with Druta).
