Re: Wanted-New moderators, apply within
Evolutionists have been preaching for a long time that its not a good idea to debate creationists, because they always lose.
Interesting lie. Whom do you hope to deceive by telling it?
Do you know that Emory University has decided to implement a policy of doing background checks on all award recipients or honorary degrees, to make sure they don't have doubts about evolution, even if they have nothing to do with evolution? They want to send the message that if you doubt evolution, you will be shunned from the universities, no matter what science field you are in. This is typical of your communities censorship-which is quite widespread.
And do you know the Institute For Creation Research won't hire evolutionists?
OMG teh CENSORSHIP!!!
Also, AnswersInGenesis won't publish my well-reasoned article proving that the book of Genesis is a load of crap.
As for the Discovery Institute, they won't give me a grant --- purely on the grounds that I'm vehemently opposed to everything they stand for.

Hooah
Adminmooseus,
Am I missing something about the reasons for Hooah's banning? From the little bit that I can see I would suggest that his banning for four weeks is completely out of line. But let me reserve the right to be wrong about my assertion barring some unseen evidence.
What the hell is wrong with you for doing that? There must be forces at play completely foreign to my experience. Whatever.

Re: Hooah
Not sure how long I've been gone, but I know I'm truly home when I return to find that Hooah, yet again, has been banned by Moose, yet again for a ridiculous period of time for a ridiculous reason

Re: Hooah
I dont get it either..
The thread that got him banned, is two years old, hooah only has one post from 2012 in it, and really cannot see why the content of that post would get him a 4 week ban.

Re: Hooah
Sure wish you would come back more often. Bunch of new stuff in physics that could seriously use your input on. Evidently Susskind came out recently with new stuff about Black holes that I for one would love to at least make an attempt at knowing (with your help).

Re: Hooah
Indeed! The only thing that even remotely makes sense to me is, if this were some sort of modern internet equivalent of an apron wearing mother scolding her son for reading comic books and sending him off to play in the summer sunshine.
Or perhaps, a situation where Adminmooseous takes in some summer sun without any guilty feelings of leaving the other mods with too much work by banning the most probable disruption (Hooah).
Edited by CosmicChimp, : I mistakenly named the wrong mod

Re: Hooah
The title change was probably the issue. If you are asked to change a thread title by the moderators you should try and change it to something sensible...

First off, Cavediver, you are truly missed here. Though I don't agree with a lot, you have taught me a lot about science, relative to how and why evolutionists believe what they believe.
You have helped me get things right, pertaining to mainline science, so as not to get it wrong in the debates. That's not saying I don't mess up on occasions.
As for Hooah, I applaud Adminnemooseous's action. Hooah, over the years, by and large, has posted more trollish stuff than edifying substance. He's too often there cluttering up threads with yada, sometimes in an offensive manner. It's not good for the site. It's like debris lying around in public places.
Moose, once tried to tone down a lot of this sort of nonsense coming from Jar, from whom I still get repetitive little one liners demanding evidence for the same oles when he knows in his own mind that he's lying.
Moose got heck from about everyone and Admin let him off, so Jar is still the same ole.
Adminemooseus get's a lot of unwarranted criticism but all and all, he's done a lot to maintain EvC's quality.

Yeah I'd like to know why too. 4 weeks is very unreasonable.

Hey Buz, you old goat - thanks, that means a lot.
As for Hooah...
The Hooah issue is that he plays it close to the edge, obviously winds Moose up no-end, and this results in Moose overreacting to the wrong things. This ends up gaining Hooah far more support from the crowd than he would otherwise.

The problem is that Hooah came from off the edge.
Moose has to do what Moose should do for the good of the board, regardless of how popular that makes him.

It was AdminPD who suspended him, wasn't it?
Apart from that, I agree. Hooah thought that he'd make a joke. It was a joke relating to something that a moderator said, but it was still just a joke. I thought it was moderately funny, not laugh-out-loud funny, but with a certain amount of humor, and it was just a joke. About a whale blowing cheeseburgers out of its blowhole, or something. Pythonesque, if you will.
What I'd say to the moderators, and to AdminPD in particular, is that that's OK. You should suspend someone who repeatedly defies the forum rules, but hooah was just making a joke. There is a distinction between someone who flouts the forum rules and someone who makes fun of the particular things posted by a moderator.
Nothing hooah did deserved even a day's suspension, let alone a month. So he made a joke against a moderator? So what? A joke is a joke, and moderators, because of their position, should be, if anything, even more tolerant of this sort of thing than ordinary members.
Unless I've missed something, hooah should not have been suspended at all, let alone for a month.
