| == Politicization of Science == | |||
| Dear Hrafn, | |||
| This entry represents some of my core thinking over the past twenty years as a secondary science educator and a graduate student. Ultimately it has been quite well regarded. Do you understand what I am saying? Can you give me clear examples of extreme POV? | |||
| I refuse to be called an evolutionist or a proponent of intelligent design. Instead, I claim to be a voice for stark intellectual honesty. | |||
| Do you believe that evolutionary theory, absent a theistic tradition, would be presented so forcefully to young minds or effectively placed beyond falsifiability? | |||
| My point is not that ID is valid, but that evolution as we are required to present it in the classroom, amounts to junk science in itself. That dissenting opinions (by experts) and a body of contrary evidence may not be presented, and that this has resulted from a legal ruling, is a great example of the other side of this issue. In both cases, science is politicized--and I really believe that we are all the worse for it. | |||
| I will gladly consider incorporating any suggestions you may have for me. I am glad to modify my entry to adhere to the standards of Misplaced Pages. | |||
| Sincerely, | |||
| ] (]) 22:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Scseig: your proposed section is nothing more than a collection of ignorant creationist stereotypes. As such, it has no place in a wikipedia article. One example of its fallacious nature is your absurd claim that "The scientific establishment treats evolution as a sacred and inviolable truth". Read the article on the ] to see how much this "sacred and inviolable truth" has changed. There are dozens more examples, but a point-by-point rebuttal would be a waste of my time. I pity your poor students being subjected to such an ignorant and blinkered 'educator' as yourself, and can only assume that those by whom you are "well regarded" have had little exposure to genuine science. A "theistic tradition" has no place in public school science classes, per the ].

Wikibreak
I have again had my nose rubbed in just how unhealthy the frustration that Misplaced Pages editing causes me is. I am therefore taking another wikibreak, quite possibly a permanent (or at the very least semi-permanent) one. HrafnStalk 07:39, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I am adding this post-dated comment so that the bot does not archive this -- ensuring that it stays to remind me. HrafnStalk 07:39, 24 May 3012 (UTC)
- Hi Hrafn, feel free to remove this comment. I have been tracking recent edits and dialogue of yours and have, once again, noted the value you bring to an article's development. I am also concerned about your health, as you have reported it. Anyway, your edits have been (will be) appreciated. Thanks for your counsel. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 15:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:13, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
