Better? No, it displays utter ignorance of the people you're insulting via your assumptions. I am ignorant of neither biology nor science in general. Likely more qualified than you are, for instance, although that might be self-damnation by faint praise. I have no idea whether you're competent to engage in the conversation.

Unfortunately, some trolls are cunning enough to avoid banishment. Occasionally, they do over-reach, but that usually takes a long time. Maybe it is better to avoid false alarms, rather than thinking we have detected the signature of a troll. However, the trolls ((obvious to some of us) really degrade the quality of the forum.
It’s not a dig, but I can’t help but laugh when you all fall for the same things over and over again. It’s like someone that keeps playing the shell game for a buck then complains they are broke. Maybe it’s because I’m younger than some on here and grew up in the Internet age but what I see happen here is classic trolling yet here they tend to catch the same fish over and over. Spit the hook out for Pete sake!
Well, Twist, ridiculous statements sometime need calling out for the benefit of the newbies. I certainly didn't comment for my own gratification as stooping to that has no clear advantage. dmaker goading members is a chronic malaise and so setting an example of intolerance for blatant jabs at the community lets new members know that there are those who see through the subterfuge.
Marginalizing any scientist, including several forum member scientists who advocate for existence, marginalizing evidence, claiming there is no evidence, marginalizing witness accounts are all in the skeptics tool kit. It is so predictable.
Our best scientists tell us that many forms of hominids or hominins existed in the past and they were proposed to be primitive, hairy, and brutish. So the juxtaposed question is...... Why MUST they have gone extinct? Well, my answer is that they MUST only because it makes us feel better, superior and safer. We can't have monsters out there with human qualities and perhaps wicked intentions.
