You are claiming that no opinions are suppressed. Yet no one, Percy or yourself included can explain to me why an evolutionist was able to start a thread as vague as Problems with Evolution-submit your question, and yet I am not allowed to start a thread which discusses the pros and cons of the Darwinian debate evidence.
Bolder-Dash, I cannot talk about the specifics of your case because I am not familiar with it, but I can tell you from experience that there is not a conspiracy against creationists. Percy is very aware that this forum only work if evolutionists
and creationists/ID'ists debate. That means, the site needs creationists just as much as it needs evolutionists. That really goes without saying. I shouldn't even have to say it, but just in case you forgot, there it is...
In fact, before the "meltdown" there were quite a few theist admins that he personally installed to keep the site as fair and balanced as possible. As it turned out, there seemed to be too much moderating. So now we are down to five.
What this site does not guarantee, nor should it, is that you won't get shit for your opinions. I've endured far more hardship than you could ever imagine and yet you don't see me crying in a corner, whining about how persecuted I am.
Granted, there are more atheists and far more evolutionists (both atheistic and theistic) on this site than there are creationists and ID'ists. That means that you
are going to experience more grief than many people, but that comes with the territory. You either need to either embrace that fact or be crushed under the pressure.
Percy is using his control over the forum , to silence a rationed retort to the theory, by forcing dissenters into impossible to manage rules. Every time someone wishes to expound further on weaknesses to the Theory as a whole, Percy, or his attack dogs cut in and try to say that one criticism or another is off topic-thus derailing any attempts to paint a holistic argument.
Give me a break... I don't think you will find a more long-suffering soul than Percy. Percy is more in the business of giving you a platform in which to relay your fringe beliefs than he is in the business of silencing dissenters. More to the point, he doesn't have "attack dogs." No one here is beholden to him, nor is he beholden to us. I'm sure it's more satisfying for you to believe that there are smoke-filled rooms where they dream up nefarious plots for creationists while commiserating with evolutionists. As a former moderator (a theistic ID'ist moderator, at that) I can tell you first hand that no such conspiracy exists. Sorry to disappoint.
All that is required of you is to follow a handful of forum guidelines that are generally loosely adhered to. All the moderators like giving their members the benefit of the doubt unless there's an egregious offense that cannot be overlooked. That's it. So if one of your threads wasn't promoted, I'm confident there was good reason for it.
My suggestion to you is to debate your points, and they will be judged collectively by the members of this forum by their merits.
That is all.
