gay thread problems again
Starting at around Message 42 and it continues from there. Rrhain's defence when he feels he is being attacked seems to be to become sexually explicit. Onifre's response to this is to push buttons. It could probably do with an admin's attention. Given the history, I'm sure Rrhain wouldn't take moderator direction from me, so someone else I think needs to do the dirty work.

Re: gay thread problems again
Would it be a good idea to post a warning and then suspend everybody who ignores it and posts anything not to do with the actual topic? I keep checking back to look for relevant discussion on an interesting subject and am sorely disappointed.

Purpledawn in "Not the Planet"
I never thought I'd write these words, but Purpledawns evasions and dishonesty sicken me to the point where I can no longer take it.

Re: Purpledawn in "Not the Planet"
I read through it, and I don't see any significant problem. I mean, I see two people disagreeing, but it does kind of look like you are just arguing past each other. It doesn't seem to me to be dishonest or evasive. Towards the end it got hard to understand your position more and more since it became one line responses to single line quotes.
Perhaps you could post a summary of your actual position regarding the thread topic is as a means of reinvigorating the debate? A lot of the time, I think purpledawn is having the same difficulties with what you are trying to say as I am, and a detailed outline of your position may help overcome the problem of arguing past one another.

Re: GD Spinoff Request
Perhaps, due to the fact that most of the debating in the Buz/Moose thread is essentially Buz debating the PG, it would be wise to grant me a waiver from the Science ban so as to debate the Peanut Gallery on this topic.
What's going on now is essentially just what I have been asserting, i.e. the creationist argument that they are using circular flawed dating methodology for supporting their false premise.
Now the PG is merging into nothing but personal attacks on me leaving me with no recourse.
The following is their same ole circular argument.
1st lap on the circular track - Dr Jones Message 44
date measured at time layer/strata deposited.
The various radiometric dating methods produce the age of the igneous layers measured from the time that they were deposited.
1st lap on the circular track - Dr Jones Message 44
date measured at time layer/strata deposited.
2nd lap on the circular track - Coyote Message 42 layers/strata dated using direct dating methods.
The current example is your "circular reasoning" argument--it's straight out of the creationists' Handbook.
Here's how it works: scientists date volcanic layers using direct dating methods. That's pretty accurate. Even the RATE boys didn't put a dent in those methods.
3rd lap on the circular track - Coyote Message 42
layer dated by fossil in layer/strata
But that sedimentary layer might have a particular fossil that is not found in any other layer. This would be called an "index fossil" -- this means it is confined to a relatively narrow time period and (hopefully) is widespread. That fossil, then, can be used as a dating method to date a layer in which it occurs without the need to do radiometric dating of volcanic layers above and below.

That fossil, then, can be used as a dating method to date a layer in which it occurs without the need to do radiometric dating of volcanic layers above and below.
4th lap on the circular dating track - Coyote date of layer/strata measured by time deposited. (In this strawman example, date foreknown before determination)
An example you might be able to relate to: the pop-tops on beer cans were produced only between 1962 and 1975. They are widespread, nearly indestructible, have a narrow temporal range, and are easily identified. They are, like the index fossil, a time stratigraphic marker. You find a layer in a dump with a lot of pop-tops and you are looking at the 1962-1975 range.
We have explained these things to you over and over, so stop trying to play dumb with these dating questions; you are succeeding all too well.
After this circular track, a barrage of personal attacks on me ensued by several members, all, in chorus agreeing that the circular arguments aired by Jones and Coyote were spot on and Buz is the stubborn nucklehead refusing to espouse their circular arguments.
This is what's going on without my ability to respond directly. Admin PD advised that no direct responses should be aired between PG and GD.
Imo, the above is why it would be advisable to spin off this as a separate topic allowing me an exception from my ban from the Science Forums to debate this topic.

Ignore the PG
...due to the fact that most of the debating in the Buz/Moose thread is essentially Buz debating the PG...
Buz, an advantage of doing a "Great Debate" is that it frees you from being dog-pilled in a topic. You shouldn't be debating the PG content, there or in the GD topic. You would be best off ignoring the PG entirely.
