Re: Could the thread Did the Biblical Exodus ever happen? be reopened
Sure, and I'll leave it open so Buz can give it another try.

Thanks sir.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

May I please have the necessary permissions to participate in the Intelligent Design forum?
Are there any other forums that I've lost permissions to participate in?

You're such an idiot.
Not when they're idiots like you.
Nuh-uh!
That doesn't follow at all, stupid.
Boo-fucking-hoo. Cry me a river. You gonna go home and eat some baby food, crybaby?
I do it all the time. I already explained to you that its your stupid idiocy that requires me making fun of you in order to have any desire to reply.
I've disagreed with tons of people without thinking they're stupid idiots... except for the ones who are stupid idiots.
From the Forum Guidelines:
  1. Always treat other members with respect. Argue the position, not the person. Avoid abusive, harassing and invasive behavior. Avoid needling, hectoring and goading tactics.
Adminnemooseus posted a general note to the forum expressing concern before your last few messages, and you ignored it.
Restoring your or Theodoric's posting permissions in the Intelligent Design forum does not appear warranted.

Re: Permissions
It wasn't the Intelligent Design forum that brought the worst out of me, it was the member I was responding to...
Out of curiosity, are you capable of limiting the permission of who people can reply to?
I don't see how limiting my participation in just one of the many forums helps enforce the rule.
I just want to reply to RAZD in the Who designed the ID designer(s)? thread.

All of those insults were before the warning, and the last one I didn't mean to insult him personally.

It depends upon whether it acts as a reminder about the Forum Guidelines for you. Moderators prefer to use minimal enforcement, but figuring out what's minimal but sufficient for each individual is hit-or-miss. You have an, uh, exuberant style at times, sometimes reminiscent of Mike the Wiz when he's on a roll.
I'll restore both your and Theodoric's permissions, we'll assume this won't happen again and you don't have to stay out of the Why are there no human apes alive today? thread.
Out of curiosity, are you capable of limiting the permission of who people can reply to?
Not at present, but this is on the todo list, as is limiting participation by thread instead of by entire forums.

Thanks Percy. I'll work on being nicer or just avoid responding when I can't.

A member blacklist would be cool too.

Prophecy vs Freewill
Reference, the Prophecy vs freewill.
We/They do tend to get side racked, but I believe I can keep it on track with IMJ and Butterfly as I was attempting in my last post to IMJ. i also encouraged them both to stay on topic because I knew the hammer was fixing to fall.
Request it be reopened due to the fact that there is much information to be covered in that connection
Thanks,
Dawn Bertot

That thread hasn't been on topic since about five posts in, with you, IMJ, and Butterfly largely to blame for the derailing.

Myself and Butterfly, AKA, mallethead, would like to use the following and our final summations in the Kent hovind thread to reopen it or start a new one concerning, debate tactics used by both sides
I have suggested to Butterfly the Title 'Debate styles and tactics used by Creationist and Evolutionist
Thanks for you consideration in advance
D Bertot
Butterfly writes
Science and evidence have definitions. All words have definitions. The standard definition of words like science, evidence, theory, supernatural, logic etc apply to everyone. Making up your own incorrect definition to a word does not improve your arguement, it just makes it confusing.
Just taking Dawns summation as a source of an example, there is obvious misrepresentation or total incorrect usage of the following words and phrases : evidence, science, secular fundamental humanist, apologetics, scientific method, natural causes (I personaly have written an extensive reply to Dawn illustrating how to correctly use the term). This sort of thing is relatively common amongst creationist debaters.
Another tactic often used is to misinterpret or misrepresent facts in order to confuse the argument. For example, using Dawn again because he is such a good source of poor arguements.
When refering to the TOE, however, they insist thier is direct evidence, even if, like creationism,no one actually wittnessed that event. They change the nature of the word evidence to suit thier purposes and demand and insist that we provide what they are not required to establish the position as valid
There are two examples of common, dishonest arguement here. There is misrepresentation of the ToE. This sentence suggests that evolution is not currently occuring. Even Dawn must know that this is not true. But this is an example used by many creationists, not just Dawn Bertot. I am only using this as an example as it is handy. This can only be deliberate dishonesty in order to further his own cause. He also suggests that followers of the ToE are changing the word evidence to further their cause when this is also not true.

It seems that you are unable to even make a single post that does not contain insulting and inflammatory language.
That alone is enough to answer the question about your (and other creationists) debate tactics and should be a clear indication of your future behaviour in the thread you are requesting to be re-opened.

Always remember: Quidquid latine dictum sit altum viditur
Science flies you into space; religion flies you into buildings.

Re: Prophecy vs Freewill
Yes, you did try to get the thread back on track. Thank you for that attempt.
Buterflytyrant started the snowball.
I will reopen the thread. Try to keep it on track since Frako doesn't seem to be taking care of his thread.

Potential Evidence for a Global Flood
Just Being Real posted here:
Why was the "Potential Evidence for a Global Flood" thread locked off again exactly? It's interesting that I was preparing to respond on it and then it was locked for "bogus messages about to be posted." Was it for my benefit? Or am I just reading too much into this?
My "topic closing temporarily" message:
Temporary topic closure because of bogus messages coming in about 15 minutes.
Damn, I'm good. Shut that sucker down just in time.
Normally I do comma overkill. The above sentence really needed a couple of commas. It should have been:
Temporary topic closure, because of bogus messages, coming in about 15 minutes.
I'll now reopen the topic. Please, quality messages, not snark.
