I have difficulty reading every post. I read backwards, forwards, upside-down with equal difficulty. I have a lot more difficulty with posters who don't know what a sentence is than I do with a few missing capitals.
I personally have to put more effort into the style than the content or my posts would look like they were written with an axe. I think everybody should be suspended but me. "I'm Rory Bellows, I tell you! And I got a lot of corroborating evidence... over here... by the throttle!" |

I love it.

I hesitate to be pedantic, with you of all people, but your usage of "flaunt" is nonstandard and technically incorrect. For maximum communicative power, you should use "flout". Of course, conventions change, but the specific ones you are flaunting aren't among them. I'm reminded of a common refrain from Miss Manners against those who claim that etiquette is a burden. Everybody has etiquette. Those who flaunt it and deny it simply don't seem to recognize it in themselves. Ban him, Moose! "I'm Rory Bellows, I tell you! And I got a lot of corroborating evidence... over here... by the throttle!"

Moderation in moderation, like nesting matryoshka dolls, and turtles all the way down.
If you have nothing to say, you could have done so much more concisely. -- Dr Adequate

Prompting somebody to do his own search is often preferable to posting links. "Seek and ye shall find," is more likely to to provide enlightenment than, "Swallow what I feed you." Need we have a forum rule prohibiting barer than bare links? If you have nothing to say, you could have done so much more concisely. -- Dr Adequate

The best (and most heated) discussions I've had at EvC were with people who generally have views similar to mine. See this thread for a recent example. If you just want to voice your opinions, you need a blog, not a discussion forum.
please censor and ban ANYONE who has different views than us.

I used to be full of rage when I was a Christian. I'm not saying that Christianity causes rage. It might have been because I was young and foolish. I'm much older now. I know it is the attitudes of you guys here on this forum that drives the rage inside of me. I don't like the attitudes of people who disagree with me either but I find that the best way to drive them crazy is to stay cool. They hate that.

If the moderators met their own standards too often, I'd want them to raise their standards.
... it's fairly rare for the moderation here to reach it's own standards.

Don't confuse, "I disagree with you," and, "You're irrational." Moose is irrational and Percy is the board director. Also don't expect parents to undermine each other.

Post number 666. Admin is the AntiChrist. That explains a lot.

That's a pretty long oxymoron.
This is extremely frustrating for an inarticulate guy like me who knows instinctually what he believes but cannot put it succinctly into words.

If the moderation was as blatantly biased as you seem to think, there probably wouldn't be many lurkers here. And if Percy's diabolical plan was working, they wouldn't be on the fence.
How is it that Admin (you know the impartial referee guy, who also devises strategies to convince all the fence sitters lurking here)...?

From Faith's point of view, we're the Jehovah's Witnesses and she's doing us a big favour by just coming to the door, never mind listening to what we have to say.
But Faith needs to meet us somewhere close to halfway.

It's implied. ringo writes:
You didn't analogize the part where she gets a free science education that she then spins back at us to suit her own purposes. From Faith's point of view, we're the Jehovah's Witnesses and she's doing us a big favour by just coming to the door, never mind listening to what we have to say. Most of us don't appreciate the "education" that we get from Jehovah's Witnesses either. Granted, we don't usually spin it back at them. We just smile and nod politely and wait for an opportunity to close the door. But if Faith did that we wouldn't be talking about her.

I, for one, am happy to take on all comers. But, yes I've been pretty tough on some non Creationists. Creationists, in general, are poor thinkers (or they wouldn't be creationists), so they'e not much of a challenge.
