I hope that you understand my position now.
Sure I understand your position! You'd like to use your evolution challenge as an excuse for issuing taunts and making assertions that you don't feel the need to defend.
I've been moderating these boards for a
*long* time. There isn't much I haven't seen, and you're not doing anything original. If you remember your thread proposal, three moderators chimed in with various concerns, so you're not really fooling anyone. Play it straight, follow the
Forum Guidelines, and try to at least pretend that you have a sincere interest in exploring the evidence where it leads.
You see, it's actually much more important that you understand my position than the other way around. I place a great deal of importance on quality and constructive discussion. The usual enforcement procedure for those not similarly inclined is short suspensions that gradually increase in duration.
So is that clear enough, dude? Just in case we come from such different worlds that it's not yet clear, let me put it another way. This is a serious debate site and I'd like to keep it that way. Any more bullshit from you, a guy who registered twice and is using a fictional novel as the basis for his assertions and who has already been given considerable leeway just in allowing this thread to be promoted and who is studiously refusing to learn anything about the subjects he's discussing, and the suspensions start immediately.
How's that for clear?
So discuss the details of Barbarian's evolution program all you like. If you'd like to actually discuss the topics of artificial life and genetic algorithms, that would be even better. Violate the
Forum Guidelines any further and it'll be vacation time for you.
Discussion threads are not the place for a back and forth about moderation concerns, so if you have anything further you'd like to discuss about this then please take it to the proper thread:
