Phobias

 https://barryhisblog.blogspot.com/p/phobias.html

At the time of writing this, I am under a 24-hour gagging sentence imposed by Facebook for posting an "antagonistic post" to groups in which evolutionary science and creationism are discussed.

My crime was that I had used an expression that I had coined, denoting those who have a phobia for the idea of evolution. I say that it can be a phobia, because I think that there are people who are fearful of the consequences, should they allow themselves to become convinced of evolution. This is understandable if you live in a social environment in which deep prejudice is the norm.

My expression was a descriptive one, not an antagonistic one, unlike the expression "evotard". 

I am phobic. I have a phobia in which I panic if I am in a crowded place with no easy means of escape (agoraphobia). I do not regard being called an agoraphobe as an insult. It merely describes an aspect of myself. It gets bad in places like crowded IKEA stores, where you can't see the way out. I suspect that people who have failed to find the exit go into the making of their Swedish meat balls. ;)

There do not seem to be any objections to the use of such terms as Islamophobia and homophobia, so am at a loss as to why my expression triggered Facebook. I suspect that the content of my "antagonistic post", https://barryhisblog.blogspot.com/p/abiogenesis_22.html, upset enough people to report it and make Facebook's dumb 'bot make a dumb decision and gag me. Do not abuse the reporting features. If you have a problem with what I write, take it up with me.
