Don't give evos a plausible reason.
Percy, with all due respect, every single thing you accuse me of is par for the course among evos, and yet you don't see their remarks as rules violations.
So because they are doing it - that excuses you from doing it?
If I go to a creationist run board - I make an effort to stay within their guidelines and be as polite as I can. I know that any perceived rudeness will likely result in them banning me. If you honestly think that is what it is like here - then why don't you take more care? If you stayed within the forum guidelines you'd have proof that evos are trying to silence the debate.
By giving the evos a good reason to suspend you, you damage your point. If you stay within guidelines they will have to do more twisting and contorting to justify suspending you when you challenge their statements irrefutably. It will be clear to the bystanders then that this board is a heavily biased evo back slapping forum and you have made your point gloriously. You can then retire to a fairer forum, or start your own fairer forum.

Re: Don't give evos a plausible reason.
That facts you mentioned are not irrelevant to the debate. They are very pertinent. Also pertinent are other facts like how the ID movement were encouraging and eagerly awaiting to put ID into court. It is not a rules violation to state what you just stated, though some elements of its wording are debateable.
However, that is not important.
My point was exactly that - as long as you actually did stay within guidelines then the bystanders will see that and conclude that the evos here are twisting and turning to come up with reasons to silence you. Your point gets proven, and you can go to or start a fairer forum where you can discuss this victory without fear of suspension.
Its a win-win situation...as long as you avoid blemishing it with off topic posts, ignoring moderator direction, insulting other members and other obvious and visible rule violations. I wish you the best of luck with this tactic - I'll be keen to defend you when they try and suspend you when you have been within the forum rules.

Re: About those Forum Guidelines
An example of even-handedness would have been your permanent banning for repeatedly falsely calling someone a liar. That was presumably the reason given for banning me, and yet you have merely been warned despite your infractions being far more severe on this point.
Actually you received a string of temporary suspensions first. Dr Adequate receievd a temporary suspension for calling you names. If he continues to be so disrepectful despite continuous warnings he may face permanent suspensions.
It'll take a long time before that will happen though - you have posted ten times more often than Dr Adequate.
