So terribly sorry to have put you in such a position

I kind of find myself being in the clumsy position of defending Scott's behavior.
Aw, how terrible that must be.
Better to sit back and have salty claim that you are not a scientist, that evolution is mysticism, that anyone that doesn't buy salty's pap is a bigot, etc.
At least that you'll lool like a 'good guy' to the Terries and Ilions of the world...

Re: So terribly sorry to have put you in such a position
Yes, because I am not adopting salty's and Ilion's tactics. Terry seems to be trying to produce some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
He continues to characterize all of my posts as insulting even when they are not.
It is a common creationist tactic.

Re: So terribly sorry to have put you in such a position
Indeed - and he is now describing my pointing out of facts as insults as well... Afterall, facts are, I suppose, offensive to creationuts...

quit
I have had quite enough of the antics there - particularly by 'Don' and 'salty'.
I resigned my membership. Now they can go back to giving virtual back-pats to each other fopr proving YECism....
Apparently, salty is upset that nobody here is bowing down to his Grasse/Huxley/Broom allusions, and ran back to TalkOrigins and posted this:
quote:
I'm sorry now that I was demoted. SLP is nothing but a malcontent and a troublemaker. He contributes absolutely nothing of substance to this forum. I am sick of his complete intolerance to anything that does not conform to his own private convictions. salty
So, I responded with this:
You have continually made such baseless assertions against me, yet they are devoid of substance. At no point have I exhibited "intolerance" - that is pure fabrication. Taking offense at your many and repeated insults directed at those that do not bow down to your self-aggrandizement is not intolerance. Ignoring your empty rhetoric and your refusals to read the postys of others is not intolerance.
Responding to insults directed at me without provocation is not an indication of me being a "troublemaker."
I think that you are just upset because the "kiddies" at EvC has devastated your manifesto and your 'hypothesis' without even really trying. That is not 'troublemaking,' malcontent, or intolerance. You have been completely unable to address issues of substance and there, like here, you are content to spew content-free one liners or lengthy 'I'm just like Grasse and DeWaal agrees with me, so I must be right' nonsense. Unfortunately, unlike here, that doesn't fly at EvC.
Or are you upset that you can't ban me because I am not getting "inflamed" at your constant badgering?
Too bad.
I will do it for you. I resign my membership to this group. The only malcontents I see are those that post here on the "anti-Darwinist" side.

Re: Gogonasus Fish topic at Terry's Talk Origins
quote:
Terry (aka AmPaTerry), at message 7 writes:
ONE transitional form from fish to amphibian is evidence for evolution, TGS.
A dozen is evidence against it, by showint that they are not actually transitionals -
Unles you care to claim that fish evolved into amphibians over and over and over again - - - ?
Which begs the question of the mechanism that would cause such a thing -
Terry
Well, this is the engineer that has claimed:
putting a drop of mercury in a glass of water is exactly analogous to freon being released into the atmosphere;
the 'shadows' produced by 're-wiring' the retina so that there is no blind spot would interfere with vision while the 'shadows' that exist now from the way the retina is already wired are just fine;
Warren Bergerson did not have ot actually do any calculations to "know" what the results of his multiple decrement analysis [sic] of Darwinian evolutioin would be;
etc.
He's like a child.
