Your group was an advocate of Intelligent Design, and you managed to misspell the word "Intelligent" which to many of us was ironic. It certainly wasn't an "intelligent" thing to do. I make mistakes when in IM because as soon as I press "Enter" the message is gone, I can't do anything about it. Whenever I create a group on Facebook however, I double check everything because it matters. Instead of being between two people (IM), most of whom wouldn't care if I spelt something wrong, this is global, and I don't like people pointing out my errors as much as you do. Nevertheless, the rest of my article was on the blatant lies and propaganda your group was spreading, as well as your misunderstanding of Evolution. This is the internet Chelsy. I may not know anything about you, so the only way you present yourself is through the words you type. If there happen to be a load of spelling errors, grammatical errors, punctuation errors etc, this only fuels the opinion that your are not "intelligent".

The subject of spelling was discussed since it was pretty ironic given the whole "intelligent design" thing. It wasn't just in the title though, it was in everything you wrote on the site and in your two comments above. You claim "i choose to rarely use punctuation online because I’m not writing a paper or doing anything that requires me to do so" which is rather silly to me. Punctuation is there to help the reader understand what you are saying. It's very important in every aspect of writing. The only instance where I ever use a lack of punctuation / misspellings is in an Instant Messaging chat where such a thing is the norm (brb, lol, etc). Nevertheless, I find it deeply ironic that when justifying your lack of using punctuation you use it everywhere. I have no idea why someone would want to separate parts of sentences with ........ and then include a comma afterwards. One full stop is enough. "why not become a teacher" I'm currently working towards a degree in Computer Science, and then a PhD in the subject, so I am gradually working towards this goal. -Adrian Chelsy,

I won't stop writing about other blog content though, because the entire blogging system is set up for precisely that usage. Someone writes a great article, and it gets blogged about everywhere. The way I see it, it is getting the message out more, and upping the pagerank, technorati rank, etc of the original blog. Cheers for reading :D Oliver,

Like you said, Hemant is a crazy posting freak, and it can be hard to write about a topic before he can get to it. Now that I think about it, I've never heard of a research facility devoted to creationism or I.D. Thanks for understanding.

Mr. Mathis then tries to tell the journalists and editors at Scientific American that it should be involved in science, but science intentionaly limits it from doing so with its scientific process.

I understand what you mean, since a lot of articles I write about are either found on, or also featured on Friendly Atheist. Whilst I do get the content ideas from Friendly Atheist a lot of the time (Hemant Mehta is a crazy posting freak :D) I hope that I expand on them and write a lot more on the subject. For example, in this article all Hemant mentioned was the facebook group, and the explanation. I went on to attack the entire site description in detail. In the future though I will try to cut down on the amount of articles I talk about from Friendly Atheist. If anything, it proves that Hemant Mehta writes a load of good articles, and I'd be pretty certain this blog isn't the only blog that takes a lot of articles from him. Oliver,
