Re: Big Brother Showcase house
The emerging fracas between Herpeton and JAD is particularly amusing. I love the part where Herpeton calls on "Darwinists" to handle JAD because he's "our problem"; according to Herp creationists are too busy handling their "own wackos." Exact words!
Apparently nobody explained to him how it works in the Showcase? Boy, after they clamored for a place free from objection by the tyranny of science and evidence, it's pretty rich of them to demand that evolutionists step in to fix their mess. You just can't please a creationist, can you?

Re: Big Brother Showcase house
What's just delicious about all that is how it developed. If you look at the start of JADs thread, you have Herpton and a couple of other fundamentalists turning up and saying
"oh you are soooo right Prof! You've sure got that dirty evos on the run!"
because as normal, they will leap on *any* passing idea that says evolution is wrong. However as the thread progresses and he's not willing to fall into line with a concept of a personal god, they go on the attack. wonderful stuff.

How a non-personal God is supposed to bless anyone would be a question this fundi would ask of John.

Ray's [sic] Transubspeciation topic
When this is promoted from PNT I'd like to debate it.
Specifically I dispute the etymology he gives for cannibal and mass - and without these the claim of proving the heathen origin of the Catholic Mass looks somewhat shaky.

I'm interpreting this as a request that rgb be granted Showcase access, so access is hereby granted.

Re: For RGB
This is a response for both admin and herepton. Considering the fact that it's been a very long time since I last requested to be granted access to the showcase, I can't f*cking remember what I wanted to say about what. Even a cranky person like myself have a limit to how long he can hold a thought.
Just give me time to recover from this memory loss syndrome.
PS Is it me or there seems to be some kind of conspiracy against me? All my requests for access to the showcase seemed to have been ignored for a very long time until there's really nothing else to say. Not only that, a proposed topic of mine was also ignored for days and days until I requested for the topic to be closed for reason of insanity (or something like that). Within minutes, an admin granted my request and closed the thread... so they did notice my PNT after all but decided to ignore it.
Maybe it's this ungodly hot and humid weather, but if you guys think my posts suck or that my PNT sucked, then just say it. Don't just ignore me.

I'm only going to say this once. Hot and humid weather makes me cranky, so don't push my buttons!

Showcase access revoked?
Have I lost my showcase access? I have been posting but it kept changing my ID from Wounded King to AdminWounded, I was changing it back in edit and thought it was just a bug and then I realised it might be that I didn't have posting privileges in the forum anymore. Was my access revoked? And if so is it possible to get it back so I can discuss Darwin's racism with Ray?
TTFN,
WK

Re: Showcase access revoked?
Yes, you lost it, but after five minutes of looking I can't find the sequence of two or three posts that led to this. Every post of yours I've just read is constructive and on-topic. My vague recollection is that at some point you were addressing the deficits of either JAD or Syamsu himself instead of their ideas. Anyway, I can't find these posts, seems like a minor nit now as I look over all your positive contributions, I'm restoring your access.
