Of all the pompous and degrading articles I have read on this net, Ken
Arndt's public reply to a private mailing was the lowest yet.  Of what I saw
of the letter he replied to, it seemed to be a reasonable, well thought-out
argument of what is wrong with the Creationist viewpoint (and religion as a
whole).  Ken, of course, uses the lowest forms of cheap debating tricks just
so that he can publicly humiliate this innocent young lady.

I have never seen such utter uncaring and total lack of regard for a fellow
human being before.  I just can't understand how anybody could stoop so low
as Ken has, just to make a point.  And he even talked about posting a
follow-up article.  If he has an ounce of decency left in him, he should at
least make a public apology to the letter-writer.  But I don't think anybody
who read his trash will ever have any respect for him again.

(Note:  I haven't reposted any part of his article, but it is only a few
        back, if anybody else wants to read it an also become infuriated.)
