Dear site moderators,
I agree with Randy: perhaps the name of this listserv should be changed to 'MUSEUM LOST" and those who wish to continue on towards 'virtual' self-destruction can do so do so at their own leisure - while those who wish to stick to a rolling discussion on a variety of topics do so on a new MUSEUM L2 ?
I only say this in desperation as I don't know who is moderating this site, but I think it's time you identified yourself as such and took some control of the situation - apologies if I missed some moderation, but I can't see any?
This site is being brought into disrepute and it would be a great shame to see it continue that way.
Kind Regards,
Jerry

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Hate speech on this forum--Godwin's Law
I have subscribed to Museum-L as part of a graduate course in museum work in order to be informed of internships, job opportunities and to discuss problems and concerns within these institutions. NOT to receive tons of unnecessary emails full of immature arguments between two factions of people. There is a serious debate between evolution and creationism, but this forum topic has gotten completely out of hand and I'm sure many of us would appreciate it if people who wanted to continue this argument would do so elsewhere.

Yeah bullying is bad. Like when one calls a whole group of people names on a museum list or imply they are idiots or flat out say the are a scourge on society,or is it only bullying if the people making those statements don't hold your opinion?
Now I am a believer of evolution but this statement is what offended some of religious people on the list. Then when they said it felt hateful they where told, NO ITS NOT,
"I would not provide a forum for those jokers in any institution I
worked in. I don't feel that creationists should be given the time of
day--their arguments are not scientific; indeed, they are dangerous, in
the sense that they threaten undermine decades of scientific research
and send society back into the Dark Ages."
Hmm that reads a lot like this quote
“The law of selection justifies this incessant struggle, by allowing the survival of the fittest. Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure.”
You can find the author of this quote on your own.
