Sure, I have a problem if someone says something like that.
Andy's post to me comes off as having a go at creationists' stupidity (in his opinion), not calling for them to be killed.
Guess it's open for interpretation.

It's not me be being holier than thou - its simply expecting a little common decency. It isn't just here - its been running rampant around here for a while, and as I said - its sad to see. It isn't appropriate to call for the death of any large group of people for their belief, as well as its wrong to take one idiot's opinion and use it to mock an entire group. Those kinds of activities - not just in this thread but throughout the forum, have simply gotten way too old. I don't gripe about it in every thread - because I don't respond in every thread. Recent events have made this the "straw that broke the camels back" for me - and so I chose to say something.
GT just being GT, it's a rollercoaster with ups and downs.
What got me in your post was the bit about newcomers coming here and being
put off by threads like this. Again, I must say that in my opinion, this thread
has been so far civil, given the subject at hand.


I agree with the rest of your post more or less.
