What is this about? (anti-something or other?)  And why are all zarcus’ posts deleted?

zarcus had some sort of fit awhile back and deleted his old posts. We Admins and Mods really discourage that sort of behavior for precisely this reason. It makes past conversations nearly impossible to follow.

Charles, what you can’t tell what we “are” debating. :^]

It was about a poll offered by the New Humanist - Are Dawkins and Hitchens good for Humanism.

Here is a story about it and other surveys by the New Humanist (the Dawkins, Hitchens poll is discussed below the Harris one) - http://newhumanist.org.uk/1613

Are Dawkins and Hitchens good for Humanism was sort of the topic—are they unnecessarily polarizing the debate or causing a stereotype of the ‘humanist’ position which will result in a pendulum swing of opinion in resistance to their rhetoric.
