I obviously didn;t tell you because all you need to know was already present and explained.
If you have a real question concerning the topic, to consider asking it more politely.
Thanks

Considering that your participation at this forum much rests in my opinion of you, you might have responded to the polite (I said "Please") request of sentence one.
Instead, you gave me an implied "Yes" to the question of sentence two.

Do posters lie? Yeah.
As we are not allowed to comment on the other thread. I will repost here
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.
Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Seeing all the complaints that turned up on the discussion problems thread I have to wonder why more of that wasn't reported there before. I haven't followed DavidJay much, beyond some posts on the Messiah thread, but to me it's annoying when there are a lot of one-liner posts calling someone a liar. That's boring and annoying. It should all be taken to the Discussion Problems thread IMO.
Seems to me DJ says a lot of indefensible things, but the lying everyone is complaining about is mostly his refusal to acknowledge the opinions of opponents. It's lying, yes, but it's mostly a strategy, a bad one but a strategy.
My opinion is that he should be warned, and if he doesn't shape up after a couple of warnings then suspend him.
Meanwhile we could use a lot less of this calling people liars no matter what the provocation.

Ban the lying twit
David Jay was already banned for his previous behaviour.
Since being let off his ban he has contributed exactly nothing in the way of reasonable discussion.
Given that he has not changed for the better since the original ban how much more rope must he be given ?

He's trolling us. He's deliberately lying to get a reaction.
From Wiki:
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.
I would have thought that was against Forum Guidelines.

No one who is not lying should be called a liar. Acknowledging reality though is simple honesty. Many, particularly those who constantly lie to themselves, cannot even recognize the fact that they are liars without help from outsiders.

In 1972, with Watergate looming on the horizon, Richard Nixon was re-elected by a landslide. One commentator said that America had chosen a smart crook (Nixon) over an honest fool (McGovern).
Since then, if somebody claims to be an honest fool and not a smart crook, I take his word for it.
So I accept that Donald Trump is an honest fool and Davidjay is an honest fool.

Re: Message 239
Davidjay is deliberately generating and repeating falsehoods. We all know nobody on the evolution side claimed humans are descended from bats, but he keeps repeating the false claim that three have done so.
That's not honest debating--that's trolling, and lying.
That seems to be a part of an overall pattern for this poster.
It would seem that some more substantial moderation might be in order.

Re: To Moose
My recent Davidjay permanent suspension was, for a here lack of a better term, rejected by Admin as not being appropriate because proper procedure was not followed.
I therefore have abdicated most all responsibility for Davidjay control to Admin.
There is, of course, that "don't feed the troll" concept. If the various members don't think a Davidjay message is worthy of a reply, maybe they shouldn't reply.
I think his messages do a pretty good job of displaying that Davidjay is a wackjob's wackjob.

"Discuss the origins of EVOLUTION."
Don't bother to promote Davidjay's latest, "Discuss the origins of EVOLUTION."
He'll just use the new thread to spam and lecture, with no attempt to debate. He's certainly not here to learn anything from us!

Re: "Discuss the origins of EVOLUTION."
Its an honest topic. We discussed Creations exact history, so why are evolutionists afraid to discuss their own history.
Thats not trolling, its called debating. Fair for one is fair for the other..
Evolutionists shouldnt complain and call their opponents liars just because evolutionists should answer a few questions themselves and back up their statements themselves. True debates are two sided, questions and answers.
Lets discuss the Origins of Evolution's History.
The problem is evolutionists dont explain themselves, mostly I assume because they have no answers, sop resort to name calling instead. Lets get back to discussions, and adding to the TOPIC.... in this case evolutions HISTORY

.
The Lord is the GREAT SCIENTIST as He created SCIENCE and ALL LAWS and ALL MATTER and of course ALL LIFE. God is the Great Architect, Designer and Mathematician. Evolutioon is not mathematical and says there is no DESIGN but that all things came about by sheer LUCK.

Re: "Discuss the origins of EVOLUTION."
We discussed Creations exact history, so why are evolutionists afraid to discuss their own history.
This has been discussed in numerous threads here. The study of evolution added lots of knowledge over the past 150 years. The history of the study makes almost no impact on what is being studied and discovered today. Knowledge is built on the foundations of the past, but the fields of study today were mostly completely unknown in the beginnings of biological study.
You have demonstrated throughout your recent rants here that you have no accurate knowledge of evolution, science, biology, history, mathematics, religion, creationism, debate, reading, writing, spelling, or grammar. Have I forgotten anything?
