Re: Give Refpunk a Thread
...but because when someone is rushing around dragging other threads off topic, it seems a good idea to give him one of his own, so he can get all of his obsessions off his chest...
Seconded.
I've suggested having an introductory forum before ...
Besides I have a junkyard to dump on him.

Re: Give Refpunk a Thread
You fellows are gluttons for punishment. Refpunk only knows a few pat phrases, clichés and will never discuss any details or evidence. He has not demonstrated any substance or provided any evidence that he has ever thought at any depth on these issues.
He is probably right now at a church bbq bragging to his mates just how he is slaying and confounding the evilutionist online with his razor wit and keen bible wisdom.

Yes, and I have a name for such people. I call 'em "cat toys".
What did you say that I was a glutton for?

Right. He's a YEC, you're saying. We know that. There's no such thing as a YEC who's brought any substance to the issues we debate here, and a YEC who's thought at depth on these issues is a contradiction in terms. In depth thinking would make him into an ex-YEC.
The reason that I suggested that he should have his own thread was so that he could rant away in one place, instead of dragging potentially interesting threads off topic.
(Incidentally and off topic, the "prayer from Rob" post on your great debate thread was thoroughly enjoyable, and very much to the point).

Re: Give Refpunk a Thread - in coffeehouse ...
Looks like his topic would have to be promoted to coffeehouse for him to participate. That would suit his inability to deal with reality eh?

Being representative of YEC as an admin and being your insolent remark was boarding closely to violation of the guidelines, I had to restrain myself from utilizing my admin mode here, but I decided your false and demeaning comment could slide this time and I'll just protest as member Buzsaw instead.
Imo, you should climb down off your haughty high horse and acknowledge that in some areas we YECs have brought substance and yes, perhaps even to the point of debunking soundly some of the stuff some of you and yours do on this board.

Well looks like that is what happened. Nem called it the "Drunk Tank" - that is funny.
Well lets see if he has more than one refrain (ie Unless you guys can breed a human from an ape you're loser's hah!)

Re: YEC Substance
While I have little to dispute with your moderation style, which I usually find rather mild, I have a few questions concerning this post.

For example the term "we YECs" I thought you were a YCC? Is the topic concerning your stand still open so you could clarify?
Also, do you have any examples of this "debunking soundly some of the stuff some of you and yours do on this board?" This thread is of course the inappropriate place to continue this discussion but I would like to know what you may consider when and where YECs have come even remotely anywhere close to overthrowing the natural sciences as I am unfamiliar with anything of substance. Once again, would you be willing to clarify your position in the appropriate venue?

Which of the guidelines did you have in mind? If it's the "don't make bare assertions" one, it doesn't really apply, because EvC members see the evidence which backs up my points all the time, so there's no need to give examples.
I stand by my comments. There's truth in them, so there's no insolence.
Imo, you should climb down off your haughty high horse and acknowledge that in some areas we YECs have brought substance and yes, perhaps even to the point of debunking soundly some of the stuff some of you and yours do on this board.
IMO, that does break the "bare assertions" guideline. I think you should back it up by starting a thread on which you could give examples of YEC posts which bring substance to the debate. I could do the same for evolutionists, if you want, but that would be so easy as to be pointless, because real scientific information comes into the framework all the time.
As for debunking stuff, feel free to make a list of what's been debunked on your new "YEC substance" thread. I'd be genuinely interested to know.

Re: YEC Substance
Personal position = YCC.
Admin position = YEC representation
YEC at EvC has pretty much been a coverall coloquialism pertaining to all Biblical fundamentalists, so don't be surprised when it's applied to me, especially in my administrative role.

Angeleic and Demonic Perceptions
In the Angelic and Demonic Perceptions thread AdminBuz is complaining that he thought that the topic was intended to refer only to demons (and maybe fallen angels).
quote:
I'm concerned that where you are going from the OP is another topic, i.e. the good angelic realm. There may be occasion to incorporate reference to the good guys but only when it has some application to your OP perse.
But the first half of the OP is about the "good guys". So surely references to them are to be expected and are as relevant to the OP as discussion of demons are. So why the concern ?
I would also add that I personally see nothing wrong with dealing with both in a single thread.

Angeleic and Demonic Perceptions - The resolution
There was (as PaulK/AdminPaul already knows) a fair amount of discussion of this matter, in the "Private Administration Forum", more or less concluding here.
AdminBuzzsaw has posted his summary here, at the "Angelic and Demonic Possessions" topic.
Case closed.

Has anyone considered....
....that what we have here is a Troll?
I know the acceptance level is high here on this board for what we believe people to be capable of retaining a large amount of "the crazy". But common, a UFO believing creationist?
I admit I could be wrong. But reading this thread really raises my suspicion a little bit.
I'm afraid I must agree.

Rob and iceage two among a crowd
Not that I'm asking to be suspended myself, but there were several of us contributing to the abuse of the POTM. Any reason why Rob and iceage got singled out?
