Really?
Is there ever an appropriate time for a post like this. I appreciate the knowledge he passed an but why the need to be a self righteous ass?

The site has not devolved. I do not think there is anything anyone can do if the creos no longer want to debate. The quality of creo/fundie has devolved. There is no one to debate anymore. Seems they have given up.
Best advice I can give if you do not like the political conversations is to not participate in them. It's like the guy that goes to the doctor and says.
"Doc, it hurts when I do this"
Well, don't do it. Really, quite simple.

Message 3341
Come on, everything Petro posts now is beyond the pale. He spews wing nut venom and hate, nothing more. This post is full of personal and ethnic hatred. There is no place for that on this board.

Re: This isn't Facebook, and we don't want ads, JonF
I am actually clueless why Cat Sci has a problem with the post. It is a link to a legitimate new site with an actual news article.
I have no idea why he is referring to it as an ad. We link to news articles all of the time here. Why has this one insulted your sensibilities?
Here is the text of the article.
quote:
Oregon militant accuses feds of committing ‘works of the devil’ in $666 billion lawsuit
Shawna Cox, who was arrested last month during the militant takeover at a federal reserve in Oregon, sued federal officials on Wednesday, accusing them of victimizing herself and her compatriots.
I am asking for criminal and civil penalties for the perpetrators that subjected me and my witnesses to the crimes I have identified herein, the lawsuit stated. I Claim I and the others involved in these actions have suffered damages from the works of the devil in excess of $666,666,666,666.66.
Cox makes reference in the suit to her current indictment on federal conspiracy charges following her Jan. 26 arrest, stating that she intends to ask jurors to pursue criminal and civil charges against state and federal officials who were involved in the ambush that attempted to execute myself and others and executed Lavoy Finicum.
She was released from jail on Feb. 1 and has claimed that police murdered Finicum. However, the FBI later released footage showing Finicum reaching for a weapon twice before being shot and killed.
Her suit also accuses Harney County Sheriff David Ward and state Sen. Cliff Bentz (R) of being directly involved in terrorizing the people of Harney County with calling out their thugs and making the show of force instead of allowing a grand jury to hear the case concerning Cox and her fellow militants.
Update, 10:37 p.m. EST: KATU-TV reported that Cox’s lawsuit was dismissed after a judge said her claims were not cognizable in this criminal proceeding and will not be addressed in this case.
The lawsuit can be read in its entirety below.
It is even complete with the "you won't believe X!" that you see all over Facebook's click-bait.
Wow!
Tell you what, just don't click.
Is your problem the fact that they have a liberal slant? Don't care. What is wrong with the article? Is any of it untrue? Are they making claims no other news organization is? Didn't think so.
It's already a violation of the bare link rule, but this type of post in particular needs to never become a thing here.
Oh yes, arbiter of all that is good and just.
Yes you are overreacting and again letting your biases show.

Can we get some pushback on davidjay spamming us with links to his website. He needs to present all of his ridiculous arguments here rather than attempting to direct us to his site.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Dr. A's endless meaningless insults
David Jay is the worst, most egregious liar we have had here in a long time. He makes other creos look like virtues of truth. This is not a perfect world and debate sites do attract liars. When the mods refuse to enforce rules for a certain subset, their behaviour will continue to devolve. Making up facts, changing arguments in midstream and claiming other posters said something other than what they actually said, are all forms of lying.
Dr. A is not the problem. He is doing the only reasonable thing to do when confronted with a member as dishonest as DavidJay. If mods will not call out the lying it is up to the members.

I do believe that Creationists should be allowed to lie freely without any administrative interference.
Then calling them on it should be without administrative interference also.

DavidJay really?
How long do we have to put up with this guy and the complete lack of moderation of him.
All he is doing is preaching. He provides not argument or evidence. HE has started numerous threads and does not actually respond to the arguments against him. Instead all he does is preach. If we wanted preaching we would go to a church(or a Trump campaign rally). Can the mods at least tell him to defend his arguments and address arguments against him?
If not, why should we bother?

New example. Follow from this post
Message 81
I pointed out that he does not understand basic scientific terms and he should take the time to learn what the terms mean if he wants to discuss them.
Instead of showing he does understand the terms he just responds with word salad, gibberish and deflection.

Re: click buttons for cheers
When I click the cheer button, it flashes for a few seconds and that reverts back as if nothing was clicked. Same behavior with mark as read button.

The personal insults from Faith are getting out of hand. When Faith is allowed to continually make personal attacks the quality of discussion drops drastically. I request that she be asked by Admin to stop with the insults and personal attacks. I do not hope for or want Faith to restricted in any way. I just want Faith to be held to the same rules as everyone else.
Thank you

Concerning the topic
Any practical use for Universal Common Ancestor?
As Dredge has admitted that he will not accept any scientific arguments, this Topic should either be moved to the Faith forum or just shut down. Dredge started it in the Science forums and pretended that scientific explanations are what was sought. We have known from very early on that this was not true. Dredge has admitted that this topic was not started for scientific discussion but instead was started to troll supporters of the scientific method and to put forward a faith based argument.
The whole premise of this topic is a violation of Forum rules and should be either shut down or moved to a Faith forum.
Dredge writes:
I've actually covered this before: I believe "God's finger" in evident every time a species from one genus appears to "evolve" into a species of a different genus
Dredge writes:
You expect a religous (non-scientific) theory to have a practical, scientific application?
