Wait. I propose we rename ourselves the Virginia Axiomite Suppression Team. We can steal this logo from the Virginia Association of Science Teachers, our brothers in the fight to indoctrinate all in the theory of evolution! The irony is too great! HA HA HAAAAA.

Wait a second. You don't live in Virginia. Get your grubby virtual hands off my virtual t-shirt.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there's no conspiracy afoot against 2x6, Cam, or you.
On these message boards, and in life, if I agree with someone, I say so. If I disagree with someone, I say so. I try to focus on the content rather than who said it. I try my best to listen to and respect others' opinions.
If someone disagrees with me, I look at what I said to (a) make sure I said what I meant to say and (b) reevaluate what I said given any new info. You know, sometimes I'm wrong, and when people disagree with me, sometimes I learn things. I don't have all the answers. Humility will get you a long way.
If someone disagrees with me, what I don't do is accuse others of having some secret agenda or conspiracy against me. For any of you to suggest so, in my opinion, makes you look bad. It's whining. It's playing the victim card for all it's worth. How's that working out for you? I don't see it as an agenda or conspiracy going on. You perhaps might be imagining that. I rather see it as a large group trying to maintain the status quo. This forum is a wonderful social experiment in groupthink IMO.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

So, when people have a disagreement with you, the problem is not a conspiracy, it's groupthink. Got it.

Um, sorry, JP. I already have a VAST in my life. My kids' swim team.  I think it's funny how flexible the definition of "large group" can be. I also think it's funny that some people seem compelled to spend their lives on negativity. I've met real friends here. I've learned a lot here. Mostly, I have fun here. I have an interest in perpetuating a culture of friendship, learning and fun. If that makes me a defender of the status quo, so be it.
