I got curious.
Dec. 30th, 2006 06:16 pmI just went back to that blog by the author of the Prairie Muffin Manifesto, to see if she'd posted my comment about her lack of understanding of evolutionary theory. (Nutshell version: the ability of the Ancient Greeks to construct complex tools disproved evolution, because ancient man shouldn't have been smart enough. My response: the ancient Greeks were modern humans in the physiological sense, and you'd have to go back about forty thousand years further to find humans who were less evolved than us.)
Her response, in the next entry: "I have a bunch of comments sitting in moderation which I am not going to post. They are all from people who don’t fit into the Prairie Muffin demographic and who want to challenge some of the recent posts I’ve made. Some have made some good points which would make an interesting discussion, but I haven’t got time to open up any more cans of worms and act as playground monitor or engage in an extended debate. So I’m sorry if you wrote but didn’t get posted, but my time is limited and family comes first."
So, my comment is not posted because I don't fit in, I disagreed with her, and she's got time for lengthy posts but not for honest debate about her opinions. It's her blog, of course. She has the right to not engage if she so chooses. But to not even post it seems rather cowardly to me.
