Pedro, you owe me a new monitor. I spewed merlot over my current one while reading this.

Wow, it seems like people are getting suspended left and right over there.

Hey, she only has two hands to count with! I found it amusing, as since they don't routinely ban(technically), they sure as hell put people at moderated status like dropping a hat. With me, I didn't take it personally, I set out to see how fast I could get banned...while pissing turkel off at the same time. A win-win situation...as he's a little blister that needs lanced...and I don't have the stomach for his juvenile pandering(I guess you COULD call that debate, but you'll never see him over here.). Do you think Sarfarti and Turkel(socrates and holding) will ever be called to task for their behaviour? Heck no. But don't you start a thread calling into question creationists...

JM: Wow, that was quick even for me. I can't get on the site to see what caused the banning, but I am assuming it was my response to the 'least favorite creationist' thread. There was a complementary thread on 'least favorite evolutionist' so I figured the moderators were letting both stand. I got a message that I had flagrantly violated the rules. LOL, talk about controlling the minds of the weak.

Cheers

Ha! So blame Stephen Maturin - I stole "nutburger" from him.

Joe Meert:

Joe already received several warning for calculated and willful and flagrant rules violations. I am willing to work almost endlessly with people who's intentions appear to be good, and who simply get too impassioned for their own good, or who get caught up in the heat of the moment. This is not the case here. He has been suspended from this site.

In regards to an inaccurate rumor that people are getting suspended "left and right" there have been two such caes for willful, calculated, and flagrant rules violations after repeated warnings. If that is "left and right" then perhaps "left and right" literally means the number of hands on most humans, then that would be correct.

Bullshit. Rehnquist received no warnings.

Ding, ding, DING.

I have also been to TWeb and find it extremely hard to keep my mouth shut. I can no longer stand to read Socrates' threads. I can't think of one that has added anything of value and almost every single one contains something rude. Socrates has only been warned ONCE in the forums that I read, while others get warned for complaining about the moderators in public.

It is absolutely frustrating over there!

Hence, we LIVE here, and occasionally, when the mood strikes us...VISIT there.

Joe,

It wasn't the "least favorite creationist" thread. That has been allowed to stand unedited. It was a response you made in "Uniformitarianism for the rest of us". One moderator (TheFiveSolas) warned you:

And then Dee Dee followed with:

I hated to see you get banned. You were the anti-Socrates.

The new censoring method now being used is the "Lets get back on topic" method. Socrates will go way off-topic, then someone answers him, then the mod steps in and says we are off-topic, instead of just splitting the posts off into another thread, which I had 5Solas do for me regarding coral in North America.

Also I've noticed Socrates isn't as "bad" retort wise, but he is extremely slippery in threads. He won't answer things if you counter him anymore. Socratism is the same way.
