Catholic Scientist needs to learn how to be civil
There is no reason for the kind of abuse Catholic Scientist hurls. I have been trying to have a civil debate with him, but because I disagree with him I have to put up with the following.

This is not the first time a debate with him has devolved into him resorting to name calling and being rude.
Needless to say I will not be debating with him at all in the future.

I see you went with my latter suggestion:

Abuse...
This is an internet discussion board. You are here by choice and you don't have to read anything that you don't want to.
Civility is, like, the 10th rule here. Its all the way at the bottom. Its not that important. Plus, it ruins all the fun.
This is not the first time a debate with him has devolved into him resorting to name calling and being rude.
Awe. Poor baby. I think I fell a tear comming on.
"Somebody on the internet was rude to me.... WAAAaaahhhhh!"
Needless to say I will not be debating with him at all in the future.
If you can't take take reading my posts then don't. Nobody is forcing you to.
Grow up already and stop being such a crybaby.
I also find it funny that you ran crying to the mods as soon as I won the debate.
Poor loser too, perhaps?

Taking the lead from studies showing that people tend to remember the items nearest the beginning and end of lists, the most important rules in the Forum Guidelines were made #1 and #10. Probably the 3rd most important guideline is staying on topic.

Admin response requested
Thanks for your replies, I answered the non personal ones which was zero. As I said I would trade my educational credentials and other achievements (I owned and ran an R&D/and testing lab for four years) with anyone here. That should shut up the posers here. So if you must try and discredit my education and belittle my intellegence etc put up or shut up, got it?
From Message 81 of the Starlight thread.
Our new member, RevCrossHugger, is growing increasingly hostile and counts disagreement and correction as personal insult. I think an Admin response regarding EvCforum's policy regarding credentials, debating in good faith, and a call to calm down may be of some assistance.

Smooth Operator in Big Bang and Cosmology
A very bad case of "la la la, no it isn't, la la la, can't see any evidence, la la la"
He's obviously not going to budge, and he's better off in his own la-la land, where he can be happy and we can cling to the last threads of our sanity...

Will someone tell Straggler to shove it?
I would appreciate it if some administrator told straggler to stop misrepresenting my position.
We now have a new thread he is starting and still has to misrepresent my position in it.
He has absolutely failed to justify his straw man versions of my arguments by actually going back to the original sources as challenged to do so on Message 332, a challenge he accepted in Message 334
I will put up or shut up.
He has done neither. This shows dishonesty. Again.
You can pretty much assume that if he needs to refer to a position as "RAZD" in his argument that he is wrong.
He is free to make whatever claims he wants about what he believes, but it is just plain false and dishonest behavior to attribute his continued false straw man positions to me.
Personally I think Is My Hypothesis Valid??? should be closed, it's well over the 300 post limit, and no new concepts have been discussed. Straggler is like a broken record.
I also think it would be pointless to promote the new thread, but that is not my decision.
I do take exception to using my name in vain.
I would have thought that "going postal" in Message 138 and again in Message 301 would have knocked some sense into him. It didn't.
I would have thought that the Message 332 message would have drawn some admin admonishment for him to support his assertions according to the forum guidelines
Thank you.

Smooth Operator and Stormfront
Smooth Operator may be a highly amusing crackpot when it comes to geocentrism and aether theory, but he's also apparently affiliated with the well-known white-supremacist website Stormfront.

I don't believe EvCforum has a specific policy on violence-inciting racist wastes of oxygen, but I very strongly suggest that this poster be permanently banned.

Re: Smooth Operator and Stormfront
Has he posted anything here for which he should be banned?
I think he will not be able to follow the forum guidelines (even with the wide latitude he is getting now) and will deserve a ban before very long in any case.

Re: Smooth Operator and Stormfront

Only in that he's demonstrated terminal stupidity on the order of Flat Earthers. Without his racist trash I would place him on the level of a tesla, except that he likes to bring childish insults into the mix as well.

I simply don't think evcforum wants to provide posting space for the type of violence-inciting racist feces that frequent Stormfront. Others have copied some of SO's actual racist diatribes, including assertions that blacks are incapable of forming a civilized culture, support for eugenics, etc. The same username was (as I linked above) posting the same sort of pseudoscience that our SO was - I think it's clear they're the same person.
You guys run the place, so the decision is up to you obviously. But I for one am not going to respond to any post of SO's. I see no reason to dirty myself through correspondence with racist garbage.

Just to reinforce what AdminNosy already said, Smooth Operator will be moderated on the basis of his behavior here, not at other sites. He tends toward very brief unsupported statements of his position, but he has also contributed evidence and rationale. Naturally the more he tends toward the former at the expense of the latter it could become a problem, but it isn't possible to predict the future.
