Actually my previous post on this issue was more to the point I was
discussing.

You touched on that when you said, "Remember that this group is not just
about science but also about faith.".

I would agree. But I am not aware that this group is a let's discuss Janet
forum. If you had read my first post on this Bully topic, you would have
gotten the idea that I am trying to suggest that discussions about members
should be either dropped, brought up to the moderator, or respectfully
addressed to the individual off-list. But hey it's just my Christian
perspective of being AGAPE and not spiteful.

Not much remains when removing these from her 'contributions'

And despite being told about this several times, she seems not really
interested in learning.

But between godhood and the total ignorant, there are a lot of gradations.
Personally, I expect myself to familiarize myself with both sides of the
story before presenting something as the 'truth'.
Janice's track record has been quite poor in this area.
That's all. Personally, I believe we should encourage Janice to improve her
background research, as her comments may be seen as ignorance and an
ignorance typical of Christians. Remember that this group is not just about
science but also about faith. As such we should remain very aware of
Augustine's wise words.
