Attention All EvC Members

What do you think made the old science discussions better? And how long ago are you talking about? Was EvC attracting more science-minded creationists who could hold up their end of the debate better, or is there some other reason? I haven't understood why with all the complaining about the deterioration of science here you don't just enforce strict science standards for certain threads and leave others free for the rest of us, instead of trying to get blood out of a turnip, meaning those who can't or don't want to get onto that level of science. In any case, your vilification of people for not toeing some line of your own definition is pretty mean stuff.
