Unnecessary insults
Dawn is losing it:
"I assume you are actually older than say, 20 years of age, so you should have learned this simple mature point by now. Perhaps I am wrong and you are still a teenage testosterone fueled boy. Are you still just a boy DA?"

And it continues
Go back my simple friend
Instead of taking my advice and attempting a substantive post, Dawn continues to post insults.

Re: And it continues
Admin said it best:
Admin writes:
It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Message 150
Dawn Bertot is right. He came in with a compliment for Iano at Message 185 and was tackled even though he added nothing to the topic of the discussion. His post was off topic. You know his tendencies and you poked him anyway.
Who do you want suspended first?
If the person presents no position, then there isn't anything to address.
Dawn Bertot,
The Post of the Month is the appropriate place to give kudos for posts you find exemplary.

Please, if you would let the thread proceed, I would hate to see the discussion fall off due to a few of our side issues.
I believe we can proceed without such bickering
Thanks ahead of time if you choose to continue

I don't feel it would be a good idea to reopen the thread for more reasons than just the bickering.
1. The originator never participated in the thread and since the topic was centered around what he could do, it left the thread open to drift.
JRTjr writes:
I propose to dedicate a string to whether or not I can, using scientific methods, definitions, and evidences, disprove ‘Macro-Evolution’ {Also known as ‘Darwinian Evolution’ or ‘Natural selection’}.
2. The person who complained because the topic wasn't promoted fast enough also hasn't participated in the thread.
3. As many times as you have been warned about personal attacks, you still openly insult people instead of dealing with their arguments. I don't feel I can trust you not to continue that practice in that thread. Although I feel you were unwisely goaded into participation in that thread, you are in control of what you write. When you get into that mode your posts are more bluster than substance. Keep your posts simple and to the point. Stick to the topic. Remember the delete key is our friend.
4. The others don't see their part in this issue, which is a shame.
Overall, I think a new thread needs to be started if people want to continue discussing Macro-Evolution.
Now another Admin can overrule me and open the thread, but right now I'm not inclined to reopen the thread.

Does this mean I cannot respond to the topic I was posting on or I get suspended for twenty four hours?
another admin pointed me to that topic, I thought it was ok to post.
How does one learn if they cannot ask questions?
Questions are not part of a debate?
thank you

No, it just means don't respond to the admin messages. The admins do not partake in the debate, therefor responding to them in that particular thread will get you a suspension. You did the exact right thing by asking this question here.

WOW, thanks for the answers to my questions, cussing is allowed but questions are not, wondering which adds or distracts more from healthy debate?
I am going to have to learn how to debate, this may be a good experience,

No, you cannot reply to or question messages from an admin in a general thread.

Re: is profanity acceptable?
.., cussing is allowed but questions are not,
That is not at all what I meant. This is really the only thread where discussion with Admins is allowed. The admin "warnings" that come up in normal threads are just that: warnings. They are not there to be up for discussion. That is what this thread is for.
Conversely, you are free to ask any regular member a question anywhere, but it has to be on topic.
