Gravatar Amazing!

Here was the ideal opportunity for Calvert; along with his buddies Steve Abrams & David Awbry, they could have had a wonderful whine-fest about coverage of ID.

(Did Abrams & Awbry even show up?)

Instead, Mr. "I'm so Christian I don't want my grandkids thinking they're descended from monkeys" Calvert proceeds to behave in a beastly fashion, and alienate a potential ally.

(Why, again, was Calvert involved in this?)

'Spose he'll get a Howler from the boys at the DI?


Gravatar Satan must have intervened on behalf of those evil science educators.
Poor Mr. Calvert.
What a swell guy.


Gravatar What cursing?

I didn't hear that.

Exact quote please...


Gravatar Bias

It's not bias is they are reporting the truth. Once ID has some actual research that can be held up to the same standards as evolution has been subject to for 140 years then we'll talk about bias.


Gravatar Poor little tortured BA.

First it was non-existent witnesses who didn't hear Connie Morris' wish to see America "put the next Sputnik on Mars," now this.

Maybe you get to keep your job as the Evil Overlord's minion because he can't get any better help. What a way to ensure job security.

Working graveyard at 7-11 couldn't be as bad as this. What does he pay you?


Gravatar Exact quotes of the cursing.

I didn't hear any.

Put up or be exposed as a liar.


Gravatar shut up BA, no one cares


Gravatar Hey, BA. I didn't see you standing there by Calvert and Donovan, so how could you have not heard any cursing. The true part of your statement is "I didn't hear any.", because you weren't there.


Gravatar Did anyone tape it? can an mp3 be posted?


Gravatar Perhaps there is enough interest in pseudoscience so that newspapers should cover it regularly.


Gravatar Pseudo newspapers (Enquirer) already cover the pseudoscience.


Gravatar They should only cover pseudoscience if they had the 'gravitas' to take a stand one way or the other. This false wishy-washy 'he-said, she-said' quote unquote journalism is not what I want discussing silly notions like lizard people or water canopies.


Gravatar Dave, I was close enough to hear.

There was no cursing.

Additonal proof.

No one will make a quote.

Ya know why?

There was no cursing.

You are full of shit.


Gravatar I think my irony meter broke again.

I'm going to have to start charging you for replacement costs.


Gravatar BA, you are no longer anonymous. I didn't think you would admit that you were there and close enough to hear. May as well use your name now in your comments. Better yet, start your own blog. And, yes, I am full of it, thank you.


Gravatar I think my irony meter broke again.

I've gone through a couple this week. I think Mat at Pooflingers Anonymous knows where to get them cheap.


Gravatar ok then, BA, turn about is fair play.

Since you claim to have been there, and close enough to hear, would you be good enough to provide a transcript of the conversation?

After all, if failure to provide such a recounting is good enough for you to be able to brand somebody else a "liar", we should expect that this is a reasonable request to make of you, no?


Gravatar Just checking in, and I must ask: why are people reading AND responding to whatever lies and stupidity the troll here serves up? He's a useless turd that not even creationists take any pride or pleasure in (O.K., they take no pleasure in anything, except in a sadistic sense in paining others.)
No possible lurker would ever think less of the position he shits out were he entirely ignored. If you enjoy playing with this doo-doo, I am happy to leave you to your pleasures, but he really should be left entirely to himself and his itty-bitty weewee.

I won't be back to comment about this ever again. Sincerely meant!


Gravatar Bahahahahahahahaha

The audios are up at KCFS.

Listen as I might, I don't hear Calvert cursing.

But perhaps I a missing it? (hehehe, yeah...sure)

If so, please provide the quotes.

Whats so hard about that?


Gravatar OTOH, yours is right above, for all to witness.

This is why you're the henchman, and not the Evil Overlord. He has enough talent to mask his vocalization. You don't.

And a henchman is all you'll ever be.


Gravatar Donovan ran away alright, but not because of the phantom cursing!

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Gravatar As has been fully explained, the Calvert/Donovan exchange was a private conversation after the forum, and therefore was not taped. Among other things, I would not tape a private conversation and put it on the internet - that should be perfectly obvious.


Gravatar Bullshit.

A "private" conversation?

Then why is RSR taling about it?

It didn't happen that way, Krebs.


Gravatar The trolls' comments -- and honesty --speak for themselves, that is why I don't normally reply.

For the record, I confirmed the source Donovan's anger with him in the hallway after he left the room.

Readers will notice that neither Donovan nor Calvert have contradicted our report of the events.


Gravatar Bull to you to, Zedek

I taped the public forum. After the forum, people milled around visiting as is usual. It was during that time that the Calvert/Donovan conversation went on - it was a private conversation in that
it was not an official part of the forum. However it was obviously out in the open among all the other conversations going on, and as people mingeld anyone could drop in on any conversation - that is how RSR heard the conversation

For what it's worth, I didn't even know this conversation happened until I read about it here. I was involved in my own conversations (and my computer was turned off and packed away), some of which took place out in the lobby area.

All of this is extremely obvious, especially to someone like BA who was there, so there is no good reason for Zedek to being making such a rude fuss about it.


Gravatar I have been trying to contact Donovan about this.

He is not returning my calls.

I wonder why?


Gravatar Maybe because you are a nutcase?


Gravatar Well Jack, you were there, but you didn't hear the cursing?

Oddly, nobody heard it but RSR.

And we are to take his word for it?

Why? I haven't noticed particular objectivity on his part.


Gravatar FYI: As explained someplace (maybe in this set of comments, maybe on another), I was not standing around the conversation in question. There were at least a dozen or so after-forum groups discussing things, and I didn't talk to nor stand close to either Calvert or Donovan. Also, I left while many people were still there.


Gravatar I wondered why the media forum was even held. Who can reasonably assert that those promoting Intelligent Design as school curriculum have not received adequate news coverage?


Gravatar Ah, but the ID proponents wanted yet another chance to complain that coverage of ID issues is biased against ID.

Listen to the mp3 files. They contain stunning insights into the processes and goals of journalism: to present the facts to the public, so the public can decide for themselves.

You know, like the "teach the controversy" mantra the DI keeps pushing? Except that they don't want it to apply to media reports.


Gravatar How come we don't have the exact quotes of Calvert's cursing yet?

Just wondering.


Gravatar Jim,

We really need to have a talk.


Gravatar In the second post, BA said,

"What cursing?

I didn't hear that.

Exact quote please...
Basement Activist "

But you weren't there, I don't believe, so how do you know?
