Guts' last post became closed and all responses disappeared. The memory hole also has been cleared out. The reason I liked TT was because of it's general editorial restraint.

She complained that in her thread "Armstrong expands on a Theme" a certain other poster was derailing Joy's efforts to get Armstrong involved in a dialogue about her article. I don't want to characterize her post any further since I don't have a copy of it and only read it once before it disappeared. Joy posted a statement indicating she was leaving TT.

AIG and the DI are both marketing their books, tapes and DVDs to the same consumers, U.S. christian fundamentalists. Of course AiG is critical of IDism; they are fighting the DI for market share.
