"Argue the position, not the person."
HOW do you argue the position and not the person when the PERSON IS LYING?
Do you get that?
He blatantly posted material which EVEN HE admitted was unreliable, then proceeded to claim the parts he likes as true and the parts he didn't as false.
That's dishonest. But, TELLING him that that's dishonest gets people kicked.
So, why don't we all just lie? ALL the time. That's the new EVC standard.
Further, I find it incredible DISHONEST of admins to KICK people who disagree with their pet Creationists.
The FACT of the matter is that this poster was LYING. Other posters were COMPLIMENTING him for his lies. And ADMINS were NOMINATING those posters for post of the month.
Or, put another way, SANCTIONING THE DISHONESTY.
Excellent position to take - if you want to support Creationism.
Not so great if you want to support debate.
Additionally, KICKING people WITHOUT discussion for a week doesn't defend your position. It just proves to us that you KNOW that you are wrong and have to abuse your power to quell any opposition.
OBVIOUSLY you'll BOOT ME again for pointing that out. Still won't make you right.
What's next? Editing people's posts to make them sound like their supporting your claims? Kicking everyone who won't bow down to your abuse of power?
