Sig Police
But if Tal's sig is forcibly removed, then shouldn't all sigs be removed if found offensive to some? Your sig might be offensive to fundamentalist who don't like the term "fundie". Isn't that a slippery slope? Where will it end?
It seems to me if Tal is respecting forum guidelines, it should stay.
I'm reminded of an old political adage. I've dressed it up a bit for the occasion, but the message is the same:
"I will use my dying breath to fight the putrid venom that spews from the gutter you call a mouth and then use my last breath to shout from the mountaintop your right to spew it."

Re: Sig Police
I just wish people would focus more on Tal's very willful blank assertions throughout this forum. Isn't it time we try to make him post his evidence in the science forums rather than continue on allowing him to make bare assertions about evolution in faith based forums?
You have a point. I don't like blank assertions either or hit and run posters for that matter. But if he stays in the coffee house, what can be done?

Re: Sig Police
While I agree with you about a person's right to voice their opinion, I cannot see any reason to defend a person's right to dishonestly represent another's words. I also believe that this is against the forum guidelines i.e. debate in good faith.
Hmm.... Well, Tal's sig is on the edge that's for sure. His sig would need editing if someone's alias was used without permission. No question. Still, I'd like to hear some more admin opinions.

Re: Sig Police
Hear, hear. We agree.
I'm not sure if it was your suggestion or not, but someone suggested if it is truly offensive, ignoring him could be effective. Nobody likes to post in a vacuum, except maybe Brad.
