I absolutely agree with what the Cranach Institute says about the quality of
the conferences put on by the ID group. However, it always amazes me what
Christians want to dismiss and do away with when one of our own is perceived
to be harmed. The Cranach inst. wrote:

Whatever happened to the requirement that we follow the Golden Rule and be
nice to our enemies? It seems to apply to everyone except in this case.
There will be lots of defenses of Dembski over the next few weeks, but I
really hope that we don't throw out the Christian virtues in that defense. I
would point out to the Cranach Institute that Dembski by his own admission,
engaged in a blatant case of disobeying his boss. When you do that you
should be prepared to pay the consequences without squawking. I am blind
copying the members of the Cranach Institute.
