Hi Calypsis4,
Summations have been posted, so before I close this thread I thought I'd respond to your concerns.

You may suspend me or ban me from EvC for my statements but it doesn't matter to me any longer. So if you wish your evolutionist majority to be arguing with thin air, then feel free to take that action.
Permanent suspension, known as banning at some boards, is only reserved for the most persistently egregious behavior. You're a member in good standing at EvC Forum, and I don't see any reason why that should change. Moderators here usually only employ short suspensions, and usually only because they feel their requests or concerns aren't being addressed. Short suspensions are a means of getting a member's attention who seems to be ignoring moderation.
The behavior that is causing concern among moderators is your tendency to ignore rebuttal about one piece of evidence to instead introduce a new piece of evidence, to the degree where by the end of one of your threads many pieces of evidence have been introduced and few discussed. EvC Forum was created for the express purpose of making possible through moderated debate something that is rather rare on the web, productive discussion on contentious issues, and failure to maintain focus on a point works against this goal.
If evolution is false then you've already won half the battle, the gathering of evidence. You've obviously gathered a great deal of evidence. But the other half of the battle is sticking with discussion of a piece of evidence long enough to make clear how it falsifies evolution.
