Talk:Council of Europe 2007 resolution on the teaching of creationism

Carptrash, could you format your additions in the form of commentary rather than discussion please? (i.e. a little more expansive, and no signature.) I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure I agree with some of what you're saying and I don't want to ruin the meaning. --JeevesMkII 16:59, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Is this an essay or a free-to-edit side-by-side? The signed format seems confusing for a side-by-side. I'm not sure that I'd agree with the existing comments but I'm reluctant to overwrite them.--Bob^{bing up} 17:45, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Edit to your hearts content, it isn't meant to be a single author piece. --JeevesMkII 18:11, 6 December 2008 (EST)

I was not happy with the Carptrash thing to begin with but figured using it was better than not, if I was going to pick the wrong way. As far as expanding, maybe, but here is what dictionary.com has for "carp".

1. to find fault or complain querulously or unreasonably; be niggling in criticizing; cavil: to carp at minor errors.

2. a peevish complaint.

And that's me,
to a "T."

Suggestion

Since there are multiple people with somewhat differing viewpoints editing this, I would suggest signing the individual comments one way or another, just to avoid ending up with a complete cacophony. --AKjeldsen^{Cum dissensie} 19:12, 6 December 2008 (EST)

I'd prefer to keep discussion on the talk page. If there are multiple opinions on articles, or the whole document then I think they should be presented as strands of the commentary. Stock phrases such as some believe... come to mind. --JeevesMkII 19:15, 6 December 2008 (EST)

More talk

Why do folks insist on using phrase such as, "of course" in this sort of discussion? I have banned it and a few others, notably Obviously and Naturally, ...... and more, from my household, workplace and would ban them here if I were God. They are meaningless, or if the have meaning it is, IN MY OPINION and as such have no place here if not labeled as such. And there's more, but I forget. Carptrash 04:01, 7 December 2008 (EST)
