Swirling Around The Tidy Bowl

I am embarrassed to say that I fell into the Tidy Bowl trap today. After reviewing a lengthy series of "analyses" made by Tidy to prove the truth of the biography of Jesus, I was compelled to comment on a comment left by Drea (yes, the double whammy).

While responding to Drea's comment, I questioned why Ms. Bowl was starting each and every paragraph with a quotation mark without an ending quotation mark. As it turns out, her entire blog entry was ripped off from a religious journal. The punctuation, as it turns out, was acceptable although one would typically offset the entire quote in a written treatise in a more traditional style - had the writer included any of her own ideas. I was lambasted by Tidy for not having a grasp of English and proper grammar.

My favorite moment in Tidy's response to me (other than the attack on my knowledge of the English language) was when she questioned my observation of water forming into a solid matrix at freezing temperatures - her claim being that I just accept this without observing it...just like Tidy and Drea accept god without seeing god. When I attempted to respond, my comments went into cyberspace for screening, possibly. It is also possible that my comments simply went into cyberspace forever.

I have read ranting and raving by others around blogland who warned me to stay away from this blog. I had never been there prior to this week (at least as far as I can recall). It was awful. I am still shaken up by the experience.

I fear that Tidy Bowl is the Borg and we will all be assimilated.

I came back to edit this one more time to emphasize the fact that Tidy Bowl is censoring who can and cannot leave messages on her blog. The comments actually appear to go through some sort of a screening process. If I could do that to block only Tidy Bowl, I would - but I do not want to otherwise chill the interesting and intelligent exchange of ideas. Perhaps if she did not censor the information coming in, Tidy might learn something about the physical and chemical properties of the universe that would permit something as strange as evolution to occur. But as Drea said, "Creation is the only logical explanation."
