Comment CmdrTaco, here's an honest suggestion... (Score 1) 1237
In an earlier editorial by CmdrTaco he was lamenting how the comment forums go off-topic for various reasons. And he was looking for suggestions on how to stop or reduce the problem. Okay, here you have a fine example of why the comment forums veer off-topic so frequently. Instead of citing the article on how bees fly and leaving out the unnecessary commentary on ID and evolution, the editors choose to leave these inflamatory statements in the 4 to 5 sentence summary. The fault here lies with /. A good journalist/editor would remove the comments and stick to the topic of "How Bees Fly." But not here. Here we have enough ammunition to spin the comment forums out of control and into another pointless and prolonged debate on ID/evolution. There's only a tiny percentage of comments here actually on the topic of "bee flight." There aren't enough moderator points out there to mod the "off-topic" comments down. Seriously.
