It's not like the OP drove to Mastropaolo's house, took a picture of the man and posted it here with the headline "Look at that moron!"
This guy went to the public to talk about his ideas, so it is legitimate to discuss those in public, be it approval, disproval and everything in between. Yes: Mockery is also freedom of speech.
Instead of complaining how people paint a group with a wide brush (never happened in GT before
), the Creationist folks could just have posted some links which show Mastropaolo does not belong to this group and how the real Creationists tick. (Btw: who is the authority to decide who belongs into this group?)
When I see someone claiming dinosaurs and the homo sapiens co-existed, I label them Creationist, I'm not terribly interested in the fine nuances, it's all the same belief to me.
Same if someone rants about genetic inferiority of races, I'm not particular interested if they call themselves (skin color) power, segregationists, dawinists, etc. It's fair to lump them all together, when their core belief is the same and absurd, read: everything pointing in the direction that it is wrong.
And a statement like this:

is nonsense.
Again: who in Allah's name is the authority to decide who is qualified to discuss
faith?. Freedom of belief much?
Is someone not a Christian who can't cite more than 20 Bible verses? Should us here on this board refrain from discussing tactics in SH3, because none of us is actually a Kaleun?
