I've gotten into a bit of a tangle with Terry, over his starting of topics that I view as trite nitpickings, in some sort of effort to discredit scientific methodology.

​

The current particular topic, is here.

​

So, I figure I'd start a topic here, to flame on Terry's thought process in the ever popular evolution/creation debate.

Hmmm maybe I should post the comparison of creationism to believing in the stork theory of reproduction..however, since this clown seems to remove posts by anyone with a brain I have a feeling it would be a waste of time....but maybe worth the laugh of pissing Terry off Have you invited any of those guys to post over here where they cannot delete posts by non-creationists?Cheers,

Unbelievable. You guys are still sitting over here plotting? You were thrown out of my community - what? Eight months ago? Until Percy applied for membership the other day, I had completely forgotten about you. I followed his link here, and was once again reminded of the length you will go to to disrupt legitimate discussion.

​

You guys seriously need to get a life.

​

If there is some civility rule here, I did not see it; in that case, I apologize in advance for this post.

They need to get a life? You are the one that runs that moron cabal at the Talk Origins board. I see how you delete posts of those you disagree with and then ban them arbitrarily. Why not show some confidence in your beliefs and bring your little group here where others can express their ideas without your gestapo censorship tactics? Or are you so shaky in your support for your own beliefs that you don't dare?

I'm recommending to Adminnemooseus, that every individual who posted at the Mickey-Mouse topic be given a 24 hour suspension!

How disgustingly racist! How dare you use the de-N word, especially right before Mickey Mouse.

Explanation to someone from Germany, who may not have heard the U.S. incident.

​

A fair while back, some public figure used "denigrate" in a public speech. Someone else got all bent out of shape, because they thought the word was derived from the dreaded "N" word. I think the guy may have been forced to resign from his job. Much uproar over much ignorance.

******************************Hi Moose,
I remember the incident you mentioned...pretty unbelievable stuff..by the way, this furry elephantid is originally from New York but only sheds in Germany If I get some time I will go register on Terry's site and just post dubunked debunked debunked until I am banned...that should take all of about one postCheers,

Yeah, Mammuthus: You ought to be able to get banned for something really subtle. Try stating that your own research from your own lab shows unequivocally that mammoths died out over 10,000 years ago. That should get you kicked out pretty quick.

[Quetzal apologizes for the digression: he just returned from a reception and is three-sheets to the wind. ]

***********************************Or I would get banned for using the name Mammuthus...after all, large smelly, hairy elephantids are uncivil Alas, I am up to my tusks in work so have little time to post here much less to get intentionally banned at another site.Hopefully things clear up a bit soon so I can rejoin the frayCheers,

See message 50, here.

​

He still has some wriggle room, but I already have a response lined up, for what I anticipate he might say next.

+++++++++++++++++++You have his back against a wall...so I guess we can expect you to be banned from his site soon...and all your messages deleted or edited in his favor.

[B]Here is part of a recent posting by Terry on his Closer and closer thread which illustrates 2 points (see message 27)."It is those that DON'T post that we are speaking too, Salty! Those are the ones that have not had their minds set like concrete on one paradigm or another due to whatever educational system they have been steeped in. We challenge them to QUESTION AUTHORITY! That is the beginning of true knowledge."Firstly I don't know if it is more laughable or pathetic that Terry should challenge others to question authority when his whole worldview is based on unquestioned acceptance of biblical authority.Second, his reference to the silent lurkers supports my view from message 70 that Terry thinks the lurkers agree with his opinion or at least are undecided. I'm sure that Wehappyfew, Mark24, Mammuthus etc (some silent lurkers) would not like to see themselves counted as evolution doubters or skeptics as Terry naturally assumes. ************************Hi wj
I actually have not lurked over there for a while. I find it useless to confront anyone over there when there is such a high probablitiy that when I am in conflict with I will get banned, my posts deleted, or edited to mean something I did not say. Terry declared his unwillingness to debate in a forum where he does not have this power of censorship.And I have been busy arguing with Peter Borger and slugging it out with Wordswordsman on this board. Though I may have a little more time since Wordswordsman has declared his unwillingness to debate evolution any more and has instead shifted to proclaiming he has the characteristics of a deity and that christianity justifies slavery....
why go out to the circus at Terry's when we have a 3 ring circus with Wordy here? Cheers,

What is the total number of registered members at EvC?

*****************Actually I was originally interested because I wondered if the relative numbers of registered members might have influenced the comparison of numbers of posts in specific threads between EvC and Terry's site...but now I find it interesting that there are so many registered members since it hardly seems like 500 people are posting here regularly...so in answer to nos482...most must be lurkers
