Comment:	I would like to commend Grapesoda on his well-written and fact-filled review. The experience that he brilliantly relayed about a conversation with Parsifal in channel 103 was 'right on' and unfortunately, the use of Parsifal-like tactics seems to be a phenomenon among those on the creation side of the issue in the channel. We constantly see the works of unqualified biased Journalists and Preachers with bunk PHD's from degree-mills being cited in 103. We see selective quotations, misquotations, strawman erections and sometimes, just outright lies and willful deceptions. I think it was a great move on Grapesoda's part to give Parsifal a public spanking. Maybe some of us freethinkers should put in a little time and dish out more of these critiques so that the creationists in 103 might become hesitant too use dubious sources or misleading arguments in conversation there for fear of a public humiliation. Praise the Lord.

Comment:	I entirely agree with JGR. And as far as Mr Parsifal's tacticts go - I dunno, I never had a pleasure to discuss any subject with him (for I, as JGR, do not consider quoting others as a 'discussion'). Everytime I tried to discuss the subjects which are so close to Parsifal's and my heart, he would simply ignore me or call me 'mad'... I tried to support his theories and discuss the real issues, not some numbers and names of other people...he could not even see that I am on 'his side', he could not see, feel, comprehend the 'reality aspect' of the whole subject. Parsifal, sadly, seems to be just another 'scientist' who prefers the world of 'facts', abstraction and illusion to real life. Like Christians who quote Bible as a valid answer to any question, so does Parsifal quotes others, without ever attempting to understand and embrace the subject himself. It can be perhaps entertaining, but is of no practical value to anybody. Sorry!
