That poor poor community. -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 10:12
I didn't even read the story. The comments here were enough to know that I shouldn't read it. -- nm - Jim Mar 17, 10:11 16
- I avoided it when Houseman posted it on Twitter the other day, I'm glad I read the details. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 17, 10:17 14

      - I really hope this is true. I don't know...it just seems like the world - Jim Mar 17, 10:30 3
        
        I think if people talk about it online, the idiots are more likely to be held accountable. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 10:31 2
        
        It's red queen stuff. The idiots are also more likely to find supporters on line. (On balance I think it's for the better though) -- nm - Roger More Mar 17, 10:37 1
        
        true, but in cases like this, it seems l ike common sense tends to win. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 10:41

        And teaching about evolution. -- nm - mara Mar 17, 10:29
        
        yup --nmbz - Spawn Mar 17, 10:28
- wise choice. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 10:14
but she dressed like a 20 year old! -- nm - sycor Mar 17, 10:11 2
