Posted by SC: Actually I have contributed far
more here than you have, SC. My contribution to the Shroud of Turin thread alone is something you
couldn't match in 6 months of posting.
Your bitterness is so deep now that it has even
affected your ability to do simple math:
2100 posts on a 5000 post MB is NOT half the posts, even when the figures are from the same time frame. But they are not: the 2100 posts of
IDurc are from approx. Dec 5 to March 25th (nothing was deleted). The approx. 5000 figure
was for the overall site on a given day but did NOT include those posts that were going to the archives on a daily basis. Bad math from the mathematician.
There was something of a fiasco about the
Shroud of Turin thread: yours. Unless you
edit it out, everyone will be able to see, as long
as it is in the archives, how you tried to bait me
and to draw me off-topic.
About the high school level stuff: yes, I would know: in the 1980s I had a stint in a junior high
in the New York area teaching social studies among
other things. That's why I recognize your behavior
pattern.
Cheers!

Posted by pangloss: Assuming (not a good thing here)that it is a serious and NOT merely sarcastic question:
NEVER. I currently participate in 4 message boards
and enjoy it. My pal, Emily Dickinson, kept up her
silly made-up poems till the day she died. She was
never published. My stuff is amateurish in the extreme compared to hers but we have to do what we
have to do.
(I'm sorry if I angered you again, pangloss)

Cheers!

Posted by SC: I note only 2 things:

1)the ad hominem nature of this part of the post.

2)the accusation that I'm "recruiting" for ARN.

I'm not. This MB is far larger and has some VERY
intelligent people who post here. Many who have disagreed with me here have done so in a courteous manner. I have enjoyed participating in the 6 to 12 threads in which I posted. I've enjoyed reading others. I first began reading posts here when Douglas mentioned his participation here back in November(?).

You will find that I NEVER injected ARN into any
conversation where it had not already been mentioned by someone else(the only exception being when I brought up the subject of message board subversion in the ethics and morality forum in my VERY FIRST WEEK as a member).

Sorry that I've apparently offended so many here on this thread (and that includes SC)

Cheers!

leonarde, I didn't say anything about a claim. I was simply pointing out that you switched from talking about DNAunion's posts in "This is SO dissapointing!" to all of his posts, presumably because you couldn't come up with an example from it. It was your switch, so you find something in need of refutation and get back to me.

Principia

Methinks the gentleman from ARN doth protest too much. Bad math? *laugh* The words do ring familiar with yet another numeromancing denizen of ARN. Yes, that was another throughly convincing plug for ARN, folks, in case it wasn't obvious enough. Apparently, only ARN posters have a sense of what is the Good math. Also, hijacking a forum designed 'for undergraduates and high school students' for high school antics is apparently what ARN is all about.

"Go ARN Go! We're the home of the Humo(u)rists!"

I invite the readers there to judge for themselves from the archives of ARN, and from <a href="http://www.arn.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=12" target="_blank">the futile effort by leonard(e) to resurrect his playground</a>. We are all looking, of course, for something of substance.

*laugh* (No, Koy wasn't a problem, folks. leonard(e) could care less about the throrough deconstruction of his arguments for that all so important piece of cloth. It turns out, it was me all along.) Yes, let's let the readers see <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=50&t=000148&p=15" target="_blank">for themselves</a>, who was the first to crack and make reference to a subject matter outside of that thread:

Once again, leonard(e) is simply a sore loser from a land of sore losers. His measure of 'contributions' to a forum apparently consists of quoting pages from websites and engaging in the defense of ARN. *laugh*

So sad to see you regress from being a teacher back into being a juvenile.

SC

EDIT: to fix leonard(e)'s incompetence in dealing with the Enter key.

Tronvillain,
You last posted: Tronvillain, you were responding to something that I said about a claim
by Kevin (1st post this page). HIS claim
was the one we were discussing. At least I thought
so. Which claim were YOU discussing?
(And no, DNA wasn't refuted in the "This is so disappointing" thread).
Cheers!

tronvillain

leonarde:
Now, can you give an example of something about evolution on that thread in need of refutation?

leonarde

What do you mean by "in need of refutation"?
If you disagree with a statement you MIGHT think
it needs refutation. Since DNAunion knows far more
about biology than I will ever know, it would be
silly for me to even speculate in that regard. However, since I have been reading the ARN message board for something like 15 months (at times very sporadically), I know that there is MUCH room for
debate about things specific and general in the area of origins. I have read dozens and dozens of
posts by DNA at ARN. He argues and he likes to argue. I imagine sometimes he is right and
sometimes he is wrong. But he argues at such a high level, that Kevin's assertion that DNA could
be refuted by an undergraduate biology student is laughable. That doesn't mean that
his arguments aren't capable of being refuted but
it would have to be by someone knowledgeable---ie
a graduate level person or higher--- and the only
"undergraduate" who could do such would have to
be a very, very unusually gifted one. But the details are over my head. It is a matter of gauging the scientific literacy of a person: mine
is low, DNA's is quite high.
Cheers!

Principia

And leonard(e) would know what 'high' level biology is given his ignorance of the subject matter.

More cheerleading folks. "I sure am stupid, but hey look all around me. They appear just that must more knowledgeable about it."

Come now, leonard(e). Let us all know just how much biology *you* took as an undergraduate.

SC

Principia

Oh, but pardon me.

It does appear that leonard(e) has baited me into violating 2 of his cardinal rules of Forum Civility:

1) Thou shalt not question thy nemeses of their educational background.

2) Thou shalt not tag team with fellow Infidels to discredit thy nemeses.

I can see how useful these rules are, now...
SWARM!!! SWARM!!!
