Hi Dr Adequate,
I perused this thread for the first time today and noticed that Marc9000 had begun complaining about the behavior of some anonymous others, so I said to myself, "I wonder if Dr Adequate is participating in this thread." And sure enough, you are! And I find these gems:
Dr Adequate in Message 43 writes: You do make a lot of stuff up, don't you? Dr Adequate in Message 68 writes: You seem to be more interested in discussing your fantasy world than any particular scientific issue. Perhaps you could stop amusing us with your paranoia and talk about ... abiogenesis? I'm removing your posting permissions for the Origin of Life forum.

marc9000 writes: But I see this forum has one thing that I've seen so much of before, one poster that seems to gauge his success on how quickly he can bully someone out - make someone who disagrees with him stop posting. Such behavior is discouraged here at EvC Forum, but moderators can't read everything that is posted, so we have a thread for members to post to when they're encountering difficulties: Report discussion problems here: No.2

I know that there are instances of what some see as very erroneous assertions, but please, as someone already said, no matter how much you think a claim demands a response, if it's not on-topic then don't respond in this thread. Find an appropriate thread, or propose a new one over at Proposed New Topics, post a response there, then post a short note here providing a link to your response. Thanks.

Hi Stephen,
Please post on-topic replies that fit into the current flow of discussion. Even if your posts had been something you had written for the first time today, they were neither on-topic nor a response to anything anyone had said in this thread.

marc9000 writes: Maybe we’re getting somewhere, you’re right, my problem IS with science, because it’s controlled by atheists! Whether science is controlled by atheists is a topic for another forum.
Why is the exact location of a discussion within forums all that important? Because changing topics is a common evasive tactic in debate.
This thread was started by me, and its location is where the administration put it. My posts have followed my opening post, combined with the responses to it. When I promoted your thread I assumed that your comment about atheistic science was a side comment because you had titled your thread "abiogenesis" and had argued abiogenesis did not qualify as science, and that it was only considered science because of atheistic bias. I can see now that atheistic bias and control of science is what you really want to discuss and that abiogenesis is just an example, so I'll move your thread to the Is It Science? forum.

I’ll announce it when I’m finished posting in this thread. The time has come. All closing insults are welcome. You're not a moderator, you do not make these decisions. If you do not wish to participate in this thread any more then that's fine.

The only constraints on what you post in this thread are expressed in the Forum Guidelines. If you'd like to post a summary and withdraw that's fine. If you later change your mind and come back that's also fine. You can also request that moderators begin the thread closure process, but for this thread that feels premature to me. The disconnect in views on the scientific nature of abiogenesis seem reconcilable to me.

Hi everyone!
I know we're still short of 300 posts, but this recent resumption after a period of idleness seems somewhat unfocused, so I'm going to begin the thread closure process. Please post your closing arguments or summations, one per person. Do reply to a specific message, please use the General Reply button, there's one at the top and one at the bottom of each page. If anyone would like to continue the discussion please post a proposal to Proposed New Topics and I will look at is as soon as I can.

This thread was in summation mode, but a discussion seems to be taking place, so I'm closing the thread now. Anyone who would still like to post a summation send me a PM.
If anyone would like to continue the discussion, please post a proposal over at Proposed New Topics.
