Suspension lifted; no change in behaviour at all.
Or am I missing something?
I noticed the same thing.
I used to be a fairly active moderator, but I found it caused reduced participation by Creationists and no change in behavior among those that remained, even when I engaged them in dialogue about what I thought the problems were. It seems to require a certain mindset to think like a Creationist. You can ask for evidence until you're blue in the face, but almost all Creationists who have been here have no conception of objective evidence, and/or have no concept of cause and effect.
This element seems to run through even the most rational Creationists. Grace2u argues excellently and yet can't seem to see that her source of moral standards has no more objective reality than that of atheists, in fact perhaps less so. Wmscott understood the importance of evidence but had no ability to assess its validity or relevance. TrueCreation mastered the jargon of science without ever being able to think logically about any of it. In other words, even with the best Creationists you feel constantly like you're in some kind of wonderland where nothing makes any sense but strangely enough the inhabitants don't seem to notice. Even more incredibly, in the real world these supposedly irrational people are actually able to turn on a computer and use a mouse!
So I guess I'd have to say I'm not surprised that Whatever has returned no different from when he left. But Creationists have no monopoly on resistance to change. Evolutionists Budikka and SLPx are currently suspended for the same reason.
