Politely, no. This is not the subject on which I want to pop my Great Debate cherry.

Spell check changed my original draft from priori to priory so I mistakenly took that that I had been spelling it wrong. Had I stayed with my original spelling, there would have been a problem. I have made a statement in the thread for the benefit of those with whom I was dialoguing.
I will edit the mistakes for correction. ABE: In making corrections I discovered that spell check only flagged it when it was capitalized which was the case in my message title. That's what threw me off. Edited by Buzsaw, : No reason given.

According to Message 114 in Suspensions and Bannings Part III, DrJones* is suspended for 1 week due to his post at Message 163.
I suspect that the offending post was seen as an insult. But I don't think it was. Rather, I am seeing it as a reductio ad absurdum of the "I maintain that ..." style of argument. I'll grant that DrJones* chose an example that some would find offensive in his reductio, so I am not objecting to a suspension. But I think 1 week is a bit excessive. Jesus was a liberal hippie

I agree with nwr. If I'd been writing the post, I'd have used murder rather than sex with sheep as my example. It's not an accusation, it is, as nwr says, a reductio ad absurdum of the shifting of the burden of proof.

Edit. If adminmoose must hand out 1 week suspension, I volunteer to take half of that time so Jones can get back faster. Heck, I'll be spending the most of my time buried in work in the next few weeks anyway. Edited by Taz, : No reason given.

Adminnemooseus asks:
Just for the amusement of the peanut gallery, how about answering the message 120 questions anyway? This is my answer: Hi Adminnemooseus, The topic of this thread is whether or not bluegenes has a theory. This includes him providing evidence that supports the transition from hypothesis to theory in the scientific method.
Just for the amusement of the peanut gallery, how about answering the message 120 questions anyway? (A) it is not the topic of this thread: the topic of this thread is for bluegenes to support his assertions with objective empirical evidence. (B) why don't you ask bluegenes to provide the evidence -- he claimed he had "plenty" of it so why is it not already presented? It's been 7 months without objective empirical evidence, a rather extreme breech of forum guidelines if you ask me. (C) why don't you ask bluegenes to answer the questions in:
(D) note that I've said I'll answer the questions once bluegenes provides the objective empirical evidence that supports his six (6) claims. Note that I have asked for the evidence since "Now try the topic: can you defend your theory?" (Message 4), that it was recapped\repeated in Message 78 and I haven't seen any moderator step in to ask bluegenes "for the amusement of the peanut gallery" to answer these questions. I think bringing this thread to a close, by demanding that bluegenes actually provide the "plentiful" objective empirical evidence he should have, and claimed he had, -- or to withdraw the claims -- would be a much more productive use of moderation. This should have been done 7 months ago, imho. Enjoy.

Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.

Moderation in moderation, like nesting matryoshka dolls, and turtles all the way down.
If you have nothing to say, you could have done so much more concisely. -- Dr Adequate

I've lived by that sentiment, but I stand by my advice.

Yes, and that's one big bale of turtles.

Did you miss Message 63?
Now rather than doing your usual trick of seeking to moderate your own debates by blitzing daft accusations around the moderation threads why don't you actually engage bluegenes in the debate in question?
the bluegenes Challenge (bluegenes and RAZD only)(bluegenes and RAZD only)[/color] Try explaining why the evidence he has cited doesn't qualify without proclaiming that unsupported and unfalsifiable beliefs somehow constitute counter-evidence. Try answering his questions regarding your own nonsensical position that baseless beliefs do somehow constitute counter-evidence. Stop hiding behind "off-topic" as if this somehow justifies your silly stonewalling.
