Re: Still, there is the problem of dogpiles and jerk evolutionists
How many evolutionists on this site are suspended or restricted from posting in certain forums for supposedly being off-topic? I am pretty sure there are none.
I know of at least 3 creationists who are-so I guess that is about 75% of all the creationists who post here currently. I think that kind of makes your theory about what they expect as fair treatment a little inaccurate.

nobody gets banned for being off topic, wink.
You are right nonukes, nobody REALLY gets suspended for being off-topic, what they really get suspended for is for complicating admin's stated purpose of convincing fence sitters. But of course he needs a good looking reason to suspend someone other than that, so its called "being off topic."
Its easy to call someone off topic isn't it, if any words you type don't match the title of the OP you can say someone is off topic. Its the easiest way in the world for admin to just ban someone he doesn't like. Its kind of odd that only creationists get banned for being off topic, don't you think?
Or we are just to believe that evolutionists are just so superior at staying on message, and that's the real reason?

I think you have your own cognitive dissonance. Its an easy charge to make isn't it?
Just say you have the evidence and the other side doesn't. If you say the evidence points to what you say it does, that's all you have to do right? You can paste a graph and say see, look these fossils look similar, evolution is true! Or see, bacteria can adapt to different food sources, Darwinian evolution has been proven! See, we have evidence, its you who has a hard time accepting reality!
You whole claim of who has cognitive dissonance has no evidence, but that doesn't stop you from repeating the claim ad infinitum.

Re: nobody gets banned for being off topic, wink.
Right.
Like calling a post off topic and hiding it, in a coffee house forum that is not supposed to be moderated you mean?
I guess every other post in this thread is exactly on the topic of creationist shortages. I can see that clearly.

To be fair, they never intended to be fair.
This is a coffee house forum after-all, there is no moderation.
But at least this message is entirely on topic-its exactly why there is a creationist shortage here. My message is the sole message that is moderated, and the sole message that is off topic.
You know Fox News has Bob Beckel.

This is an excellent discussion of a topic, it just doesn't happen to be this topic. If you'd like to discuss Genomicus's views on ID then just propose a thread over at Proposed New Topics.
What, under the biological evolution forums? Is that a parable or a very subtle joke?

Revisionist Revisionist history;
That's very interesting research you did there nonukes. And gee, it almost gives the revisionist appearance that it was ME being trite and insulting, if one were to completely ignore what I was responding to..i.e Dr. A calling another poster a conceited i d i o t. Of course, I don't call people idiots here, because the software doesn't allow me to (insults are reserved for evolutionists use only). Fortunately that doesn't stop Dr. A , as he has the green badge to insult all he wants.
So yes, sure I was being provocative. Who else is going to point out the duplicitous-ness of how this site is run? You? We don't want the fence sitters to be confused and think this is an actual debate site, where BOTH sides get to present their opinions with equal rules do we?
Otherwise all those fence sitters might start to get confused and think that the reason creationists don't post much here is because they have nothing to say, or because they are idiots-since Dr. A always gets to call them that-rather than the truth.

Re: Revisionist Revisionist history;
I am confused nonukes, was I suspended for being off topic or for being insulting?
It can't be because I was insulting, because the software doesn't even allow me to be insulting, I don't have the Dr. A Seal of Approval for being an insulting bore.
The topic is why is there a shortage of creationists. I have given you the reason-unequal treatment.
But I won't recommend to admin that you be suspended for being off topic. Your propaganda is safe here.

Re: Revisionist Revisionist history;
There is a giant elephant in the room, I don't know why its so hard for you to see.
EVERYONE who posts here could be considered to be insulting at times, and everyone could be considered to be off topic. The one difference is that ONLY creationists who rock Percy's applecart are ever suspended for this (don't go saying its equal). Its not hard for anyone who is honest to see why that is so.

First,
Modulous's ridiculous attempt to show that some evolutionists occasionally get a 12 hour suspension, to me illustrates just how dishonest some posters who want to win an argument can be (oh no wait, maybe its cognitive dissonance!) Does Modulous wish to make a comparison of what creationists have gotten here for far less egregious posts-did any of those evolutionists get permanently banned for any of that, ever? Does he want to compare what's off topic, or discuss what DR. A or Panda or Theodoric or coyote write on a daily basis. Does he want to compare the treatment to Buzzsaw or Kaichos Man or Dawn or Alfred or the obscene and unforgivable way in which Viv Pope was treated here? Oh nevermind, modulous already knows the answer to this and wasn't really trying to be truthful here. He can deal with his own cognitive dissonance, it doesn't matter to me.
Secondly, the post was asking why there are less and less creationists posting here. So on and on the evolutionists babble about why they claim it is..while when creationists tell them the reason, they say, "no no, that can't be it, the real reason is because...."
Its like a wife who files for a divorce from her husband and the husband says, "Why do you want a divorce?"
Wife "Well because you never listen to anything I tell you, and you always spend time with your mates and you ignore me when I call you."
Husband says,"Is it because I bought that new fishing boat?"
Wife: "No no, I don't care about that, its because when I tell you something is wrong and I want to talk, you never listen. Remember when Billy was sick in the hospital and I called you, and you said, not now, I am with my mates?"
Husband "Is it because you don't like my job, I can change my job!"
Wife "Its not your job, its because you never listen to me. If I call you to tell you the house is on fire, like I did last month remember, when the house was burning, you told me to leave you alone, because you are busy with your mates...."
Husband "Its because you think I don't earn enough money isn't it? I knew it!"
Wife- "No! Listen! Remember on Friday when I called you to tell you I was mugged, and beaten and the car was stolen, and I needed a ride home from the hospital, and you said stop calling you, because you were with your mates...."
Husband-"Gee all you care about is money! You are such a golddigger!"
