I think it would surprise many here to awaken to the fact that claiming critics of ToE don't post here not because they cannot argue their points or are poorly educated, but simply because the childishness, rudeness, and lack of willingness to engage in discussion are so prevalent from the other side.

Why don't you set a good example to everyone, now that you have the special position of Moderator, of how to debate in an honest fashion.I am still waiting for you to support or retract your claims in the "welfare myths" thread, randman.Either provide the evidence to back up your claims, as requested, or withdraw them.I believe this is rule #4 of the Forum Rules:I've challenged you with a fresh new thread which you have woefully ignored. Please support your position there, with more than just "I once knew a black preacher in this one town and he said..."I'd also like you to keep the following rule, #2, in mind as well: I'll look for your new, improved, always-follows-the-forum-rules-persona in our thread.This message has been edited by schrafinator, 11-18-2005 06:56 PM

Edit to add I missed your latest reply and see it now. Please note that I did reply before and it sat there for awhile.

Yeah, well, the reply was in no way substantive.It was avoidant and did not address the specific requirements of the OP, which I repeated for you in the thread."I knew a black preacher in this one town and he said..." does not constitute evidence of the sort which actually addresses the OP.I am looking for better quality from you, randman, and less dodging.Cut-n-paste my questions, and answer them. That's how forthright and honest debate is undertaken. You might try it sometime.

I don't think anyone is saying that having Christian/creationist mods is a bad idea. But how is anyone supposed to respect the authority of a mod that himself has shown a complete inability to respect the forum guidelines, and imo a complete lack of respect for other posters.

Bing, bing, bing!Give the little lady a prize.You don't give the keys to the asylum to the craziest, most troublesome inmate!

This comment is easily explained by the fact that its author is an atheist-Darwinist.

I'm not an athiest.It is actually most easily explained by the fact that Randman is a dishonest debater.I can think of several Creationists here that I would nominate to be an admin before randman.

Could one expect an atheist-Darwinist to say anthing else about a theist-Creationist ?

Sure.Iano, while I disagree with much of what he claims, seems to be a kind chap and does a good job debating in an honest fashion. He doesn't cut and run, he tries to address points rather than avoiding or ignoring them, and when he doesn't know or doesn't understand something, he says so. I have a lot of respect for that.
