I've gotten a couple of replies (one offlist, one from Iain Strachan)
pointing out how this list occaisionally *does* personally attack YECists
and IDists. However, my point was that it was wrong for Dembski to attack
ASA based on the actions of some of the list subscribers who may not even be
members of ASA, especially when their actions would not at all be condoned
by ASA. Dembski was attacking ASA as an organization for things that ASA
does not condone as an organization, things that just creep onto an email
discussion group.
That being said, I would agree that there is some truth about what was said
at UcD regarding the list. Things are said here that are not representative
of ASA. Here's an idea. Is there any way that the comments of non-members
can somehow be distinguished from those of members? I don't mean to
alienate non-members, but it might help ASA distance itself from perhaps
some of the more extreme views, while also encouraging *members* to remember
who (and Who, capital W) they are representing to the world.
Just a thougth, but just some "member/associate/nonmember" signature might
help avoid some of the misunderstandings that are no doubt being amplified
by UcD.
