Unfortunatly, it seems that the Admin jury is still out on how to moderate the new fora.
No matter what happens, I sincerely hope that they do not simply turn into assertion fora where no one is required to support their argument. That is what I am talking about when I say nonsense. Rapid fire posts of nothing but handwaving of a number of important topics because that is just "how you feel" is fine and it is also fine for me to challange you on it.
The only difference in those fora should be when you say, "I disagree that evolution is true because the Bible conflicts with evolution." In that case I can bring up the bibilical and religious reasons for rejecting evolution and debate with you on those grounds.
But if you say, "I disagree that evolution is true becuase the evidence is sketcy and it is common sense that anyone can see the flaws." In this case you move into the realm of reality and I can debate you by calling out your BS and YEC flash tactics. I can also request that you support your claim of sketchy evidence and provide clarification on your meaning of common sense.
No one should be allowed to just yell at the top of their lungs for no reason and with no regard for ......
the debate. I hope that you do remember that this is a debate forum. Therefore if you don't want to debate, you should just leave. Go start a blog where you can rant and rave about evilutionists all day long. Just don't pretend that your posts, "
should be an unassailably legitimate post on this thread".
I cannot believe you would actually assume that anything on a debate thread was unassailable. That is just so rediculous. If you just want to preach, leave.
