All in favour of banning randman?
I think most of us have had enough of this troll. His tactics and dishonesty are, to say the least, infuriating.
Here is an example of how a typical conversation with him goes: 1. randman claims absolute authority on evolution by copying and pasting or regurgitating stuff he read on AiG or similar creationist propaganda engine. 2. We refute all of his claims and pseudoarguments. 3. randman says we are liars, and either doesn't respond to anything or "responds" with a completely irrelevant tangent. 4. We get mad and tell him to back up his assertions. 5. randman starts acting the martyr, and pretends he is some sort of "lone soldier" against the evil evolutionist power structure, and says we are just using personal attacks and not answering his arguments (ignoring 2 of course). 6. The thread gets moved to the R/R/P forum, because his stupidity is out of control. 7. randman claims the thread was locked and we never answered his arguments. Return to 1. We'll never get through to this nutcase. He's just wasting our valuable time that we could be using to discuss actual, important issues with some of the more intellectually honest creationists that are floating around here. So, to the mods/admins, this is a petition - anyone who feels the same way I do, please say "Aye". Aye! |

Sorry, I see no reason to ban randman unless he starts violating board rules. He hasn't started spamming, or become abusive, or threatened people. Many of his claims are typical of creationists, and it's important for the rest of us to counter them for the benefit of the people who aren't familiar with the issues.
