Looks like Nick is really losing it. I made a post comparing him with Microsoft and it did not last 3 hours. I can no longer find a number of my lastest posts. Oh well, 'nuff said.

Hi everyone! I'm a new poster. Tried to look at the links, but got the message that the forums are down for maintenance. Have ya'all broke poor Nick?

Yup. What you don't hear can't hurt you. Apparently, the only way to defend creationism is to silence it's critics. Nick and Bledsoe were probably the biggest jerks I've met in my life. They definately have superiority complexes. Why do I think that <a href="http://www.math.wisc.edu/~miller/old/incomp.txt" target="_blank">this</a> fits them.

Edited to add:
In his "fuck off" post, the Admin stated that he was going to begin banning anyone who posts links to <a href="http://www.talkorigins.org" target="_blank">TalkOrigins</a>. How come I've never seen an evolutionist board ban links to creationist literature? Some even actively and prominantly post links to them. Just more evidence that the "truth" must be insulated from the real world.

I asked for a link to some of his ludicrous claims on teeth. If I didn't have errands to run, I would have maybe seen a response before he took the boards down for "maintenence". Just like Nixon's "plumbers", mebets.

I got $10 dollars that, when they tell this story to their grand children, they will talk about how the cowardly evolutionists fled from the onslaught of Godly science.

And they were the ones charging us with intellectual dishonesty.

Well the <a href="http://forums.petreley.org" target="_blank">forum</a> is back up, with most of us deleted. Our messages, if they still exists, are posted by "Anonymous Coward."

Just for reference I'm going to paste the owner's good bye message.

Quote:

This was never meant to be a discussion board target for evolutionists to disrupt in response to a call to attack. The evolution arguments are ridiculous and, worst of all, they violate the very premise I set down in one of my first posts (people who post URLs to talkorigins and such as their so-called "proof"). I wish I had posted it as a rule for participation, but it's too late now.

Regardless, nobody here has issued a call to go to talkorigins or evolution boards to evangelize creation, so do us the courtesy of going to interbreed somewhere else. If you aren't happy discussing issues with people who agree, I'm sure there are plenty of other creation and religion forums you can go and disrupt. Out of sympathy for them, I won't list any URLs here.

Anyway, I've got two options for you who obviously responded to the "call".

1. Get lost
2. Get booted

You increase your chances of being considered #2 (pun intended) to about 100% if you start whining about this policy.

There are a few (well, maybe one) evolutionist(s) who seem at least a bit open-minded. That one or more is welcome to stick around. But I'd appreciate it if the rest of you would go somewhere else and evolve - preferably over a few million years. If you don't know who you are, you'll find out when your user IDs start getting deleted.

I'm still going to lurk to see what crap gets posted. I got $1.50 that says that Nick will never be able to tell us why speciation in the London subway mosquitoes is not evidence for macroevolution or identify a "just-so Barney story" actually used in scientific literature.

"anonymous coward!"

He deleted me. Apparently he can only handle an audience that agrees with him.

My account is still there, but I noticed that several threads have been deleted (there's that intellectual tyranny again).

I promptly re-posted my "questions Nick can't answer" post, albeit with a less in-your-face title. We'll see if it lasts...

I'm glad this is still on there...
