Re: EvC becomes more of a joke
Brian: I will bet you a dollar that Creationists are banned and/or suspended and/or censored (in some fashion) at least twice as much as the Evolutionists?
There is no reason why Faith should be banned indefinetly, only persons posting spam or off topic stuff should be banned. Everyone else that Administration feels should suffer loss of posting privileges should be suspended in terms of days or single digit weeks at the most. Anything more indicates anger caused by the inability to refute (in the eyes of objective persons).
You're right - Creationists ARE banned far more frequently than non-Creationists.
However, this is not due to their beliefs. It's due to constantly posting highly offensive and inflammatory comments with the sole purpose of spreading anger and driving away actual debate. It's due to consistently refusing to support arguments with any evidence in the science sections. It's due to personal insults against individual posters. I could go on.
The fact is, the Creationists just tend to resort to such tactics and thus break the forum guidelines more frequently. The mods even give Creationists more slack than the rest, because otherwise all of the Creos would be banned and the site wouldn't exist. Banning is appropriate when, despite multiple suspensions and warnings, a poster continues to break forum guidelines. Eventually, such individuals drive away other members, and become more of a hassle than retaining them as members is worth.

Every time a fundy breaks the laws of thermodynamics, Schroedinger probably kills his cat.
