Re: you can argue , so long as you agree with us..
Naturally I'm fascinated by the rules of other forums. Here's rule 17 from the discussion board at Christianity.com:
​
17. Do not make statements either by posts or posting URLs to other Websites which advocate activities, beliefs or teachings contrary to those of Christianity as articulated by the historic creeds, as understood by Evangelicalism, and as interpreted by Christianity.com its sole discretion.
​
If we were to have an equivalent rule here it might look like this (we have 10 rules now, so I'll make this one 11):
​
11. Do not make statements either by posts or posting URLs to other Websites which advocate principles, beliefs or teachings contrary to those of science as represented in the technical literature and as generally interpreted by the scientific community, and concerning which EvC Forum has full and sole discretion.
​
Such a rule here might cause a few howls!
​
Anyway, for the record, any and all views are permitted here as long as they're supported by evidence and reasoned argument.

Fred has created his own discussion board! What a hoot!
​
Some excerpts:
​
  • We want to have as little editing or deleting of posts as possible, so instead we will seek to edit people.
    ​
  • MODERATOR POLICY
    ​
    Since evolutionfairytale.com is a Christian-operated website, only Christians have been selected to be moderators of the site's forum. If you are a Christian and interested in helping us moderate this forum, please contact Fred Williams.
    ​
  • I use eachosting for all my websites, and I highly recommend them! - Fred Williams
​
I'm curious - what's it like there?
​
Hey, Fred, if you see this, the offer to be a moderator here is still open!
​
I see John Paul is there. Say hello for me!

Maybe we should rename it the Fred Williams Delete Board, or maybe the Fred Williams "Now You See It, Now You Don't" Board, or how about the Fred Williams "Take the plunge and get expunged" Board, or even the Fred Williams "whale of an flailing fairytale" Board.

On the other hand, some of those sites we are complaining about probably are not really debate sites.
​
In my brief conversations with moderators there, they describe EvolutionFairyTale.com as a ministry.

percy banned me for a period of close to two years for this post: EvC Forum: Changes at EvC Forum

Ah, yes - I will never live this down. When I look back on this period I have nothing but regrets, though I still believe change was necessary. We couldn't go on expending so much effort justifying moderator behavior. I'm philosophical about it now. Part of it is the nature of the medium, and I keep in mind an ironically expressed comment I once heard on a podcast: "Oh, a discussion board controversy. What a surprise."
