balanced?
Ichiban, thanks for your concern.
JohnFolton has been around for a long time. He never supports what he says in an honest way. He has been given lots of information on the topics he keeps bringing up-- he ignores it.
Simply making an appeal to science should not cause the mods to look the other way, but apparently it does.
If someone 'makes an appeal to science' by supplying real information and reasoning then of course the mods 'look the other way'. In the science threads that is what is expected.
If the opposing individual doesn't get enough information or has disagreements with the logic he is expected to ask for and receive what he needs. That is what honest debate is about.
JohnFolton has shown many times that he is not interested in honest debate.
He is, indeed, a troll. If you wish to defend him I suggest you can start a separate thread for that and examine what he has said before. It will prove futile.
It might be a better use of your time to pick up on some point where you feel JF is correct and defend it yourself without reference to JF himself.
ABE
I also have to point out that the post you don't like is in "free for all". This is a pretty well unmoderated forum. Pretty much anything goes there.

Evidence
Your understanding may or may not be correct.
All you need to do is show evidence for points 1 and 2. You need to also offer quantitative values for "smoother" in point 1 and to what "significant" means in point 2.

So you already have permission to continue posting. You don't have to ask for it. You just have to supply evidence for your first point and then logically link that to your third point.
Once you have that done then you can move on to trying to make that connect to the Biblical flood. You don't have to do that at first, of course.

Re: looks like spam
I think it is not spam RAZD. I think it is someone who actually thinks they have some mystical arithmetical revaluation. We don't automatically ban loons until they become a nuisance.

Re: erikp and Rrhain
...but, in all fairness, I don't think Rrhain is innocent. Although Rrhain may not have meant it as an insult, "You don't know what a _______ is" really does sound just as personally insulting as what Erik said.
There is a major difference. erikp doesn't know what he means with the big words he throws around so freely. A smallish hit at his arrogance is not, to my mind, out of line. Rrhain seems to have an arrogant vein as well, but his is based on actually knowing something.

Appeal to others
I for one think that Dr Jones is only stating facts and being very generous. Don't ask for help here.

Re: Smooth Operator and Stormfront
Has he posted anything here for which he should be banned?
I think he will not be able to follow the forum guidelines (even with the wide latitude he is getting now) and will deserve a ban before very long in any case.
