You're pissed off that I cite a public debate? I thought this was part
and parcel of online discussion.

Sorry John Egg, you've got little reason to be hurt when you
constantly try to undermine my arguments by attacking my intelligence.
Perhaps your memes are smarter than mine, but they're meanie-memes!

I wasn't "suckering" you, I'd like to see interesting off-topic debate
move elsewhere. I've encouraged Keith to go there, but he replied on
Cryonet. So did Ettie, though I didn't explicitely invite him (no
offense RE).

Just because we disagree on what "genetic drift" means, and whether
"junk DNA" is indeed "junk", it doesn't mean I don't know how fish
turned into Adam and Eve. (That was a joke Johnny.)

Why would I think you wouldn't see it? I quoted you because that is
what you have said. So far, you haven't clarified these odd points,
but because you're smarter than me, you will do so and everything will
be clear. Riiiiight? ;)

Then again, you might just ride away on your high-horse declaring that
I'm not worth it, and thus avoid explaining your version of memetics.

Who would they be laughing at?
