balanced forum or evo echo chamber
I believe that this forum makes a genuine attempt or operate fair and unbalanced. However given the examples such as coyote here in this thread
http://EvC Forum: Abiogenesis -->EvC Forum: Abiogenesis
I believe that the forum fails in this regard and allows itself to be duped by the posters such as coyote. The forum tends to give them great leeway in areas of personal attack, labeling other long time posters as 'trolls', not backing up their claims, changing the subject and so on. Simply making an appeal to science should not cause the mods to look the other way, but apparently it does.
In this way the forum unwittingly becomes a tool of such individuals, and a evolutionist-atheist echo chamber.
Now that is okay if that what you want, just represent it as such without any false pretenses.

Camel's Noses, Trojan Horses, and Cultural Aggression)
A certain evolutionist {Coyote} suggests that he is a scientist and his appeals to science as if he is an authority on science are a large part of his repertoire.
But the problem with that is he regularly makes outlandish claims such as he did on this thread (Camel's Noses, Trojan Horses, and Cultural Aggression) on the rare occasion someone as me catches him out on it, he never substantiates and is never held to task when he does not.
Now I cant force him to act any different and I cant force the mods of this forum to act any different. You want to give him a pass so be it, you want to give fellows like him a pass becuase you like what they say, cant stop you. So I'll just say my 0.02$ and be done with it.
On the latest example, Camel's Noses, Trojan Horses, and Cultural Aggression, he starts out pretty clearly suggesting that 90% of the Indian population died of from The Franciscan missionaries and their 20 missions
On Message 5 of 93 (550823) he says The Franciscan missionaries built 20+ missions along the California coast to save souls, and that the death rate from those missions was close to 90%
Message 11 of 93 (550937) I correctly peg him as Another evolutionist on a crusade against Christianity.
Message 13 of 93 (550961) what he said 'was fact'
Message 29 of 93 (551071) Now that some one else has questions 'his books are at the office'
Message 31 of 93 (551073) Oh, now it is is unlikely the missionaries were the source of the diseases.
Message 33 of 93 (551080) Then finally in this post we end up with the change in population of the indigenous coastal peoples in the mission zone during the mission era (1769-1834). Quite different from where he started out at.
I guess rather than registering a second complaint I will include here his 'steaming pile' steaming pant load' yada yada yada replys
My message, I correctly pegged him as someone with an ideological agenda, and what he is doing is not science. It is my opinion that he gets a pass here because what he is saying resonates with a large segment of the members of this forum, not because it is correct, clever, or science.
What would I like to see? Truth in advertising from fellows like coyote and from the forum overall, but again I doubt that will get to far.
