General discussion of moderation procedures - Part 7

pd, marking half the thread off-topic, writes: yes. it is. it's a debate about the types of reasoning and arguments that the creationists use to support their particular ideas, and their selective and extreme exception to and acceptance of evolution.

it seems we have a different idea of what my intents were for the thread. they seem to have been more mean-spirited than even i've realized lately. it was started out of frustration, and probably is more of a "look at how ridiculous!" type of ad hominem than anything else.the thread would be better the way you envision it. feel free to moderate however you wish. i'm thinking of taking a break from the board for a while; there's too much frustration on my part, and frankly i have other things i could be doing that are less stressful.continue, sorry for objecting.

is the yec view intellectual laziness and evasion? procrastination in getting to evidence that refutes your point?it's not a scientific standard. it's a standard of debating in good faith.

well, is that the yec standard?if it is, then it's hardly an attack. if it's not, than it's a justified critique on poor debate habits.

PLUS, people here routinely call each other idiots all the time. they just get away with it because they can phrase it far more eloquently.*coughcough*

i think we need a thread for "schizophrenic post of the month."
