Imagine yourself (as in any of the evo side) being in a debate in a creationist dominated forum, and you are the one against the many.
Imagine you were Napoleon but nobody believed you. You might expect the hospital administration to put all of the staff in straight-jackets - but then the hospital administration are all crazy too.

... you really managed to come off as condescending, sarcastic, faux-innocent and potentially other fun stuff in a relatively short space of time.
Whereas it takes thousands of posts to build a solid reputation for condescension, sarcasm and faux innocence.

Re: Admin's heavy moderation of certain topics
Faith writes:
What's bothering me today that brought me to this thread is that now he seems to be micromanaging me to extreme excess. Can't use this phrase, can't say that.
Are you sitting down? I was thinking the same thing myself.
But on the other hand, I suspect that Percy/Admin second-guesses himself once in a while too.

I was looking for a place that might be more welcoming of my arguments at a point when the futility of it all at EvC was getting to me.
Evolution Fairytale is not by any stretch of the imagination welcoming of arguments that are one iota different from their own. Percy is a double saint compared to the "moderators" over there.

It's lying, yes, but it's mostly a strategy, a bad one but a strategy.
In 1972, with Watergate looming on the horizon, Richard Nixon was re-elected by a landslide. One commentator said that America had chosen a smart crook (Nixon) over an honest fool (McGovern).
Since then, if somebody claims to be an honest fool and not a smart crook, I take his word for it.
So I accept that Donald Trump is an honest fool and Davidjay is an honest fool.

Calling a person a racist is a truly underhanded personal attack...
I would rather be called a racist than be one. Sometimes "insults" should be taken as a motivation for self-improvement.
Faith writes:
... not to be compared with calling a person a Leftist....
I take being called a Leftist as a compliment. At least I would if the person calling me a Leftist had any clue what a Leftist is, which you don't.

I don't think you can convict me of treason since I'm not an American.

Been there, done that. They spat me out. Must have been right-wing crocodiles with bad taste.
But keep making my point. Right-wing logic: When you're in a hole, keep digging.

But I don't see the point in debating with her on any topic.
The point is not to let her insane ideas go unchallenged. We've seen from the 2016 election that there are plenty of people who think like she does. There may be a tiny fraction of them who will recognize the insanity if it is exposed.

It is my opinion that such debates have little value beyond entertainment.
I would say that those debates have the most value. No offense intended to the smart people but if you just want information about science, there are probably better places to get it. The value of this site is in pointing out the idiocy of young-earthism and its ilk.

I can read science papers all day long, but having the opportunity to discuss astrophysics directly with someone like cavediver is way more valuable and informative than just reading a paper.
Its the back and forth, and the direct responses to my questions, that I can't get from a paper.
Granted, but the teacher is not expected to replace the textbook. And both are better sources of information than a playground argument. The reason we have the playground arguments here is because we can't get the creationists into the classroom at all.

Yes, your misreading of the Bible has been pointed out repeatedly.

Ringo, your record of being right is pushing something like oh maybe 2%. Your one liner potshots are very seldom accurate.
If your assessment of me is as accurate as your knowledge of the Bible and science... thank you.
