That said, who DOES give a fuck what Ben Stein or some religious group has to say about science? Science articles = higher value on real scientific sourcing by real scientists with real support from the real scientific community. Religious nutjobbery is not the scientific community.
How is that not obvious?
I don't think I've seen anyone complaining about the ID Cabal that is doing so from a viewpoint of advocating a straight-faced treatment of Intelligent Design. The problem is that this group of editors apparently adopted a set of group behaviors for driving off ID advocates from these articles - and then proceeded to apply this thug-like intimidation tactic to anyone who crossed any one of them, anywhere on the wiki.
That is what the basis was for the RFAR, but these RFCs are not focusing on that, which I think is the point in their creation... to distract from the real problem. It's been clearly stated several times that the issue is if someone crosses one of these editors, anywhere, the rest of them come running. They keep turning it around to be about the articles. Most of us involved in this RFAR and the RFCs couldn't give a shit less about their article contributions. It's like Orangemarlin keeps mentioning this reversion of his, stating it somehow started everything with the_undertow. What reversion?
None of this has had anything to do with article edits, at least not in my perception. If I missed something, someone please fill me in. It's specifically about their edits
outside of the ID articles.
