Lurking Creationists

As the TE/YEC cold war smolders, I wonder what the point is. This fellowship forum doesn't have a lot of traffic.

The origins thread is a war of rhetoric with frequent name calling. Is anyone getting anything out of the latter? I like the opporunity to learn and share information. Is any of the hotly contested stuff being read with any interest at all?

I think there is a lot of "traffic" here. As of this writing there was already 191 views of your post, but with no response. Your topic and post are a little hard to understand as to your point.

I, for one, get a lot out of the Origins forum, and haven't had the experience that you're describing. I would hope that we all want to learn from each other and not just come here to argue. I surely find more people on CF that want to talk about origins issues than I get from my local contacts. This site has been a real blessing, and that's why I'm a supporter.

I, for one, try to avoid name calling as much as possible. I do think there is a benefit to these forums, but that it is often hidden. The number of folks who are truly around here to discuss and learn is much smaller than the number who come to post their position with no intent of growing and changing.

On the other hand, there are a bunch of folks that come by to see what's going on. For these folks, I want to be sure that there are answers available as much as I can. I'm swamped busy at work, so I can't do what I'd like.
