Although truthfully, I only read this thread to see if Aldous Huxley specifically named Craig when discussing propaganda. I don't understand how you can call ProfJohn dishonest by comparison; I think they both honestly present views in which they firmly believe, and I read both of their posts. I think ProfJohn is more likely to try to persuade and to post facts rather than opinions, even if the conclusions to be drawn from those facts are, as with all facts, open for debate. Craig just assumes that anyone who disagrees is either fundamentally dishonest or a moron.

I have no problem with the length of Craig's posts either; it took maybe fifteen seconds to read this one.

Ripped it out of my mind. Well said.
