In an eruption dragged from the slime-filled annals of the Holypuke
 echo, Fredric Rice vomited forth:
 FR> Always.  You want to pretend that evolution isn't actually
 FR> directly observed in suti and in the laboratory.
 bs> Wait!
 FR> I'll pause to allow the somewhat slower of mind to catch up, sure.
 bs> You mean a species has been observed to evolve into another,
 bs> separate species in a lab?
 FR> Indeed it has -- and continues to be observed.
    My mistake on that for not being more clear as to my meaning.  I
 meant a new species of a different, or new, genus, family or order from
 the that of the original genus, family or order.  Has this been
 observed?
    By the way, I'm not interested in whatever other slime you want to
 dredge up from the Holypoke echo.  If I wanted to participate there, I
 would be there.  As it is, it is a boring place for me, as you and the
 regulars are not interested in anything but adolescent bickering,
 accusations and name-calling.  I grew out of that about 20 years ago.
 I seek intelligent discussion, which can be had here in Philosophy.
    This isn't a lost message.  It's an ignored message.  As I canceled
 delivery of Holypuke, I deleted it, because I realized that your agenda
 isn't that of honest, open discussion of ideas, but to insult and
 malign anyone with a religion, especially Christians.  You seem to take
 such pleasure out of it, I can almost picture you in front of your
 computer, typing with one hand, your keyboard and monitor sticky and
 white from what you're doing with your other hand, and a big, greased
 dildo stuck up your ass to simulate the priest who porked you in your
 youth and turned you against Christians or anyone who dares to
 challenge your vitriolic hatred of them.
    That nonsense isn't welcome here, at least not on my computer.  If
 you want to be rational and open to the possibility that you aren't the
 most intelligent creature to cruise Fidonet with sole possession of the
 truth, if you actually try to get along with even those who disagree
 with you, then I, and possibly others, might acknowledge your presence.
 However, if you continue to puke up the same vile crap that we could
 find should we decide to crawl under that wet, dark hole under the rock
 known as something like Holystroke, then I'll twit you faster than you
 can say "Fredric's a schmuck."
