Still reading that old creation/evolution thread.

It seems that our esteemed host Mr. Johnson approved a person who had a name solely consisting of an apostrophe (‘), which caused quite a bit of vexation amongst those in the thread. (Some posited it was Charles Johnson himself, going in that way as a sock-puppet to downvote all the pro-creationism posts. They really were paranoid in 2008.)

I just came across a comment that reminded me of a discussion I had on Yahoo Answers in its religion section - I was accused of being gay because of the way I write. (I wasn’t aware there was a gay writing style.)

This apostrophe person got accused of being a liberal:

re: #2104 ‘

As amusing as it would be to play with the idea, I am not Charles, and have no more connection with him than most other LGF posters.

Dang—you can’t even climb down without pissing me off. You talk like a liberal, you know that? A University liberal. With a graduate degree.

A “university liberal” seems like a terrible insult /s
