Re: Minnemooseus banned at evolutionfairytales
I don't even know if I'm officially banned from EvolutionFairyTale. I was suspended "pending review" which I took as a second strike, so I never went back. The only serious warning I ever got was for a joke about everybody wanting to learn except creationists. I momentarily forgot how sensitive the poor babies are.

Admin of EvC are Good Examples.
I want to state that the moderators that banned Moose are either immature/misled, Christians or out-right NOT.
Moose and Percy have never banned me for my constant anti-evolutionist stance at this forum, they only ban people for legit reasons as far as I can see. I have noted that they also ban evolutionists.
The admin at this EvC Forum have behaved objectively and impeccably, according to my own knowledge. I am sorry to Moose that he was treated with injustice and can only hope he does not think we would all silence people in this manner.
I write a blog and one chap provides anti-Creation arguments, and we discuss each others information. I suspect people at that forum are probably acting humanly, "feeling" that if they can't defend the faith, the only option left is to ban any "talk" against it.
Perhaps even well-meaning, but ultimately error. They need to go back to what the bible tells us, in treating people right.
Bye for now.

That would be the absolute last reason I can imagine Percy using for banning. This site would be nothing without anti-evolution positions.
On the other hand, some of those sites we are complaining about probably are not really debate sites. They are instead places for like minded people to talk about how "evolutionists/evilutionists" are in revolt against God. And just as the doors of most Churches are open to the public, the open door is not an invitation to talk smack during Bible study. You will be asked to leave.
There are very few actual evolution/creationism debate sites on the web. And this one could certainly use an infusion of creationists who are willing to put up with the reception you and Faith get here.

To be fair, EvolutionFairyTale does tell you up front what you can't talk about, particularly any smack about their religion. What they don't mention, as I recall, is that you have to check your sense of humour at the door because they have none.

In my brief conversations with moderators there, they describe EvolutionFairyTale.com as a ministry.

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."

Some variety of Moose suspension
I seem to recall Moose suspending himself once for some reason or other. [insert "petard" joke here]
Adminnemooseus got a 24 hour suspension from AdminMod.
The story behind it is:
Someone (not now researched beyond the above link, which indicates it was hooah212002) did a message (message 1?) that was laced with a fair amount of gratuitous profanity, including some variation of calling himself a shithead.
I quote mined it and replied with something along the lines of "I agree".
It was intended as a humorous chiding of his profanity use, but AdminMod failed to connect up with the humor (and judging by the number of (+)'s AdminMod got, neither did anyone else).
A month or so later, AdminMod suspended hooah212002 "For behaviour not conducive to civil discourse".
Adminnemooseus once suspended himself, but that was an act of resigning as an admin. As I recall, I did the admin comeback a month or so later.
For a while, all the ex-admins were reduced to "member" and had "suspended" status. I went and removed all the suspensions, and instead just removed all their permissions to post or edit anything in each of the various forums (which is what I refer to as "an old style suspension").
Minnemooseus has never been suspended.

Or something like that.
