Professionalism or Prejudice?

Today I received the following message from AdminNosy:
Another break

That was your last post for awhile.
I have left you with rights in Suggestions and Questions and the FFA.

You have not been responding in a manner conducive to good debating. A large number of resonable requests have been made to you and you show no signs of being willing to pay attention.

{Added by edit footnote - To DarkStar: This seems to be a good place to ask you the question "Why do you go through the extra trouble to add extra formatting to your messages, such that they are more dificult to read?" Might I suggest to adopt the standard format. No reply needed. - Adminnemooseus}

This post was in reply to a post in which I wrote:
Get Stronger Lenses

You poor fellow.....and I thought my eyesight was bad. My sincere condolences on your near blindness.

Cheers

That post in turn was a reply to a post by custard in which custard wrote:
Re: My "For The Record" Post Location

DARKSTAR, COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE YOUR SIGNATURE FONT BIGGER? I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY SEEING IT.

Now my question is why should one person be penalized for submitting an obviously sarcastic reply to another obviously sarcastic post and yet the poster of the original sarcastic message does not receive the same penalty?

AdminNosy's claim that I "have not been responding in a manner conducive to good debating" is a hollow one in my opinion when all of my posts are viewed. What is true is that my opinions are not shared by the vast majority of evolutionists or creationists, neither of which I claim allegiance to.

And as to my style of formatting, which Adminnemooseus made mention of, it is done for my benefit alone, allowing me to read more easily, as my style is the only one where I am not forced to highlight the post in order to be able to read it without having my eyes hurt. Should I be penalized for problem eyesight as well? Not one person in this forum is required to read my posts other than myself.

So what is it? Are the Admin's in this forum simply used to practicing their prejudices against certain individuals who may occasionally skirt the boundaries of appropriate behaviour while totally ignoring others who do the same based on the fact that the others may hold opinions which are more in line with the Admin's personal opinions? Is diversity of opinion discouraged here?

Cheers

Re: Professionalism or Prejudice?

If there is a continued pattern in my posts, it is that I stand firm in my position, am willing to respond in like manner to obstinate posters, and have answered questions to the best of my ability. I am neither a scientist nor a theologian, thereby any response I give is automatically limited to my own knowledge in areas of both science and religion.

In my defense, I have asked numerous questions that remain unanswered and yet have noticed no response from Admin's instructing others to do as I am instructed, have provided a requested post clarifying my personal position, have had numerous responses from posters where my words are twisted to fit their own bias towards my position, and have made every attempt to debate in good faith with those who have practiced reciprocity.

While you may personally disagree with my position, it in no way invalidates my position. While my opinions on science and religion may not be acceptable to either evolutionists or creationists, they are my opinions and the only responses I have received to date concerning my position that have been positive can be counted on one hand with fingers to spare.

Should I then alter my position in order to please a specific majority? Should I side with evolutionists only? Should I side with creationists only? Or should I remain true to my own convictions, allowing them to be shaped by the evidence as it is offered, while interpreting that evidence based upon my own understanding of the universe, and the nature of individual thought?

Cheers

DO YOU GUYS EVER READ YOUR MAIL?

Do you admin's actually read your mail? How often? I have already sent two e-mails requesting that my posting privileges be restored and have received no reply, not even the expected "forgeddaboddit" from the admin with the congestion.

Perhaps I should have put this in the http://EvC Forum: Professionalism or Prejudice? forum but I felt it best to place it where it may actually get noticed, assuming the admins are actually on the ball at EVC.

The theory of evolution is a viable theory, absent the myth of macroevolution.
Once the myth of macroevolution is included, the viability of the theory of evolution vanishes as it slowly evolves into just another example of an implausible story,
nestled amongst the numerous fairytale's of our youth.-----DarkStar
