Re: some examples
Randman never seems to bring out the best in any of us. Next time you might consider posting your concerns, which I share, over at Windsor castle.

Re: some examples
Hi Randman,
Interesting response from the thread's originator, given that he's one of our more mild-mannered members. You're reaping what you've sowed in other threads. Apparently people's frustration with you doesn't reset to zero when you change threads. I've cautioned people several times now about not letting you goad them into Forum Guidelines violations, so while it is disappointing to see it happen, it should come as no surprise to you.
Your post probably seems completely inoccuous to those unfamiliar with you, but everyone else can recognize the storm clouds on the horizon.
Did you ever see the movie Good Will Hunting (Robin Williams, Matt Damon)? You have the same gift as the main character, the ability to outrage even the most mild-mannered people.
You know, I've probably issued more than 10 cautions over the past couple days, and not one concerned anyone other than you.
Best of luck in this thread. Please make an effort to bring out the best in people, it'll be returned I promise you.

Now, why should I not be able to discuss their findings within a teleological or ID paradigm?
Let me take a stab at answering this. The reason why you wouldn't introduce this topic from a rejected thread proposal into a thread on a different topic is because you have only the best of intentions. The many warnings you've received in just your short time back has led you to realize that your good intentions could only become apparent to others by scrupulously following the rules.
But apparently that's not the case, so here's your first 24 hour suspension. I don't expect it'll be the last, so I'll mention that each subsequent suspension will be longer.

We try to keep discussion focused on topic-related issues rather than the shortcomings of the participants.
