some of you may have seen gavin orland (the guy behind the "thought or the day" campaign) thread on ratz.

here's his latest pronouncement on our community.

http://www.gavinorland.org/human-relati ... /#comments

i've been :deadhorse: trying to replace my comments that keep being deleted on his blogs. my latest comment which so far remains intact references this super thread.

my comment (in the event of its demise) is as follows;

ah that’s better.thank you gavin. maybe my other comments were removed in error in which case i apologise.

now this was my last deleted comment;
“please gavin do publish this venom you are deleting to prove your point. it seems to me that my perfectly reasoned comments are being routinely deleted leaving only those that are in line with your own view. those would be your comments then.”
on the original thread i posted a long reasoned defence of the valued rdf community but no need to repeat it as others have spoken more eloquently than i and from a more informed position.
i referred you to peter harrison’s blog. rather than post a number of links i will post this link to a thread on a new forum for former members of rdf. this is attempting to collate a comprehensive answer to what actually happened.

this open letter to richard dawkins will give an idea of the human story too;

rdf/

i will post a copy of this comment on the other sites to let them know that your readership can have access to the full facts now.

thank you gavin.

ps i do apologise for my preference for lower case. it’s a lazy affectation not necessarily an indication of illiteracy. i think i posted that previously.
