Evopeach Suspended 24 Hours
After I appended a note in Message 124 that it was off-topic and there should be no replies, Evopeach posted Message 124 to me explaining that he disagreed and why, followed by a reply to the off-topic post.
No claim of perfection is made by moderators. Though I don't think so, I might be wrong that the sub-topic was off-topic for that thread. Moderators, like all policemen, are imperfect human beings. Nonetheless, chaos would reign were everyone free to ignore them. Someone has to make such decisions, and at EvC Forum this responsibility falls to the moderators. This is why rule 1 of the Forum Guidelines requests that members follow moderator requests.
A moderator request is not the signal to begin a dialog with the moderator. Raising an objection to a moderator request is not permission to ignore the request until the objection draws a response. Supposedly the principles behind making a good impression and minding authority, especially when just having joined a new group, are learned in kindergarten and shouldn't have to be explained.

AdminRandman and Randman permanently banned
Sorry, everyone, for putting you through this. I thought that once Randman was made a moderator he would understand that our goal is balance and not bias and that he would engage us in the administration forum to constructively find common ground. That was not happening and showed no signs of happening. Randman believes that the moderators of this board have long demonstrated and continue to demonstrate a history of biased enforcement of the Forum Guidelines at the expense of creationists, and sees no offenses by Creationists that weren't justified because they were provoked by evolutionists.
What we want at EvC Forum is objective moderation that judges each person as an individual and not as a member of a group, and that finds the same degree of praise or offense in any post regardless of who it is from.
