It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds
soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world
And so there was only one thing I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry
Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan
Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On
*not an actual doctor

wow.It's amazing!

Mr dennis780 refuses to format his posts properly. He has been shown how on numerous occasions, by numerous other posters (myself included), yet still does not. I know it's petty, but damn is it annoying.{ABE}

Mr. Big_Al35 has been dodging and weaving in the "Unintelligent design" thread, and has refused to name even a single source from where he gets his information.Perhaps an admin could take a look at this?It starts with Message 162. The thread is now about whether or not he will provide evidence for his claims rather than about the actual evidence.Thanks

General impressions from skimming the topic in question:Big_Al35 is Big_Al35.Wounded King is doing a pretty impressive job of interfacing with Big_Al35. Pretty much, the topic would have been much better off if the rest didn't post their messages.If you don't have anything to post beyond griping that the other guy isn't posting anything of value, then you are not contributing to the topic.Or something like that (note Percy/Admin quote in "signature").The above is not intended to say that members should not post problem alerts to this topic. But post them in this topic, rather than bitching at the topic in question.Or something like that.Replies to this message welcome, but please make them good.Or something like that.Adminnemooseus

"something amazing." is spam.

Can we wrangle Buz back on topic in Is personal faith a debatable topic? (not that I think he has any intention of even remotely addressing the topic) starting with Message 36. He has done nothing but address his "thesis premise" about a flood.Buz, you have a thread for your failed hypothesis, in which you have yet to provide a shred of evidence. Don't go around hi-jacking other peoples threads, cluttering them with stupid. If this is not an administrative issue, can we at least stop feeding the troll?

Skip to the short version (it's probably worth it)The Gender and Humour thread, with all of its infinitely long posts is potentially becoming an issue. Hopefully Rrhain will begin to act civilly of his own accord. It is an unfair task to ask moderators to wade through Rrhain's epic posts so I'll provide the quotes of concern so they can be searched for for further context as desired. In Message 198Now I'm sure Percy needs no reminding of what Rrhain is referring to. The attempt to goad me was brushed aside in Message 200But Rrhain decided to continue pushing in Message 218I admit, I nibbled the bait a little in Message 222But I tried to direct Rrhain elsewhere so as not to cause disruption to the thread. It is my view that Percy doesn't want a thread about the differences in humour in the sexes to become a flamewar about how unfair a moderator I was 3 years ago in a discussion about morality. Rrhain did not take that course of action, and continued to push. This time, not a small reference but a wall of about 1,000 words dedicated to the topic. A post in itself for most posters here in Message 224And so on ad nauseam.I have again requested Rrhain take it elsewhere, hopefully he's got it off his chest now.Apologies for the he-says, she-says, I know how dull it is to read so thanks for doing so.So I am not requesting a moderator suspend Rrhain unless Rrhain continues to disrupt that thread with that argument. I am requesting a moderator issue Rrhain with a polite warning, directing him to this post.

The short version

Rrhain wants to argue with me about something that I think might be a problem to do in the thread in question. It's getting a bit personal. Please can a moderator refer Rrhain over here and ask him nicely to desist (if they agree with my assessment) ?Here is my suggestion:Rrhain, you challenged me in 2007. You said in Message 191This I did. And now you bring it back up again. So clearly you feel there are unresolved issues that need addressing. Personally I am happy to let the affair rest - but if you insist that I have to face the music on this issue I am prepared for the onslaught. You want answers? A Great Debate, Free For All format. No rules other than who gets to participate. You may have your satisfaction, sir!Edited by Modulous, : short version added

Starting with Message 318 in the That boat don't float, member Jzyehoshua has started a Gish Gallop Galore. As a new member, he may not know that forum protocal calls for him to be wrong only about one topic per thread. There are plenty of opportunities to be wrong about other things in other threads.Perhaps a gentle reminder from a moderator that he needs to stick on-topic would be more kindly worded than a reminder coming from me.

Has he been hacked?It seems there's something wrong with Adminnemooseus'account.Everytime I click one of his newest messages, I get redirected to another website.

Yup, his account has been compromised. I did have a blast writing a response in his announcement thread and giving him a 1, though. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

It doesn't load right. It flashes for a second then I get:
http://www.servbit.org/EvC Forum: Racist?

Yeah, that's because of Adminnemooseus'hacked account. I suspect Percy will fix it soon.
