My own view is that the creationists must be winning by this standard
of reckoning, i.e. seeing what sort of behavior you can induce from the other
side.  A Mr. Richard D'Ippolito kept score on this sort of thing for about
a month or so, about a year ago, and posted some of his results, i.e. 
just a brief sampling of vibes from several of what I call the t.o "crew".
You can easily see that some creationist ran up a really big score on Colby...
the funny thing is that I'm not mentioned at all in any of this, having been
preoccupied with other business at the time.

Bruce B. Salem:

        Bob is too lazy
        I think you are lying
        This argument of Bob's is a complete joke!
        How can Bob Bales be so stupid as to think that people who
          read this would swallow this bullshit?
        [He] has not done any science, ...is probably antisocial and
          reclusive and prone to rigdity and passive aggression
        The guy's rhetoric consists of lying, period.
        I picture him as tough, antisociam, and stubboren.
        We probably have a nut case here...
        Bob is not a total waste, but pretty near.
        If you wern't so arrogant or bigoted or just plain stupid...
        I thing that Bob is a parrot.
        When you put your beliefs out to air, so to speak, you had
         better expect to get them splattered with dirt.
        The guy is an ass.
        Jesus, what a jerk Bales is.
        He is a sneaking, lying, fool.
        Lets nail your ass to the cross for what you said, not what
          you have slid into, you snake!
        ...this is just another hollow assertion from a person who has
          shown himself to be both bigoted and ingorant at the same time,
          to that I could add stupid as well
        He is instead a bigoted religionist...
        The demand for absolute proof is the mark of a scoundral and
           a bigot...
        SAME OLD SHIT, but a rehash...
        you are too stupid, or ignorant to spot them

Jon Livesey:

        This is the first direct lie in your posting.
        This is either stupid or dishonest.
        Isn't that carrying religious idiocy just a little far?

Mike Siemon:

        ...creationists are either frauds or their dupes.

Jim Merritt:

        You are a duplicious liar.
        Enough, child.
        You are a fool...
        If you think like you write I doubt if you could make it down the
        block without breaking your leg.
        Widdle Bobby, go look at the fishies.
        Are you ever going to answer those 21 questions you have been asked
          over and over and over, you liar?
        The person is a liar and a fraud.
        I consider him a personal affront to thinking humanity.
        Everyone archive his stupidity for the next go-around when he asks
         exactly the same things?
        So much for your contentions.  What a fool..
        Answer them, you evasive bastard.
        He is a habitual ignorant liar.
        Evasive bastard, isn't he?
        Not an honest bone in his body.
        Evasive child, isn't he?
        You are an evasive liar.
        ...you are making yourself look like a bigger fool - if that
         is possible.
        Nah, you're like a tick.  Irritating but useless at best.
        Whatta twit..
        Nobody else is going to buy your ignorant statements, either.
        What a fool.
        Life MADE the oxygen, dimwit.

Brett Joseph Vickers:

        You're silly.

Philip Nicholls:

        Time to attack the bastards...

Greg Hennessy:

        You seem to make the stupid assumption...
        He...has plenty of time to jump up and down and wet his pants...
        The only scientific conclusion I can make is that Bales is lying.

Bob Braun:

        Why does this blithering ignorant fool keep coming back...

R. Day:

        In other words, we can just get Bales, the wonder doof, to quit
          posting.
        Grow up for a change, and stop being such an asshole.

Chris Colby:

        Not content to be merely ignorant, Luis tries his hand at
         stupidity and dishonesty...
        First of all Luis, I think you are lying.
        You are slimy in addition to being stupid.
        Are you really that stupid or are you intentionally being misleading?
        Learn some genetics you idiot!
        You, in contrast, are a moron.
        Time to back up your assertions, jerk!
        Furthermore, I think your capacity for rational thought is
         very limited
        You are so full of shit, Clayton.

Matt Brinkman:

        To continue this unjustified ad hominem attack makes you appear
         to be childish, petulant and stupid.
        I really think he is a rather boorish ignoramus.
