I did not see this until I saw the replies, hence my lateness.
I join with others in expressing my strong disapproval of such ad hominem
comments, particularly among Christians.
It is particularly disappointing when it isn't true. Glenn has never pushed strongly
the sale of his books. Indeed, I have taken him to task in the past for *not*
quoting from his books!
This is a diffiicult medium with no body language possible, and things are said in
the heat of the moment that we sometimes regret.
My advice to all creationist is argue hard, but always argue fair. On one of his
tapes, Phil Johnson says of the Creation/Evolution debate:
"It is more important *how* you win, than *that* you win"
