The problem with this is that it takes a LONG time and a LOT of posts to walk a creationist through the process of critical thinking.
One post of Gish Gallop usually spawns 10+ posts of replies. Follow that up with one post of "Of course you guys say that, you are agents of satan". And suddenly have the forum has "exceeded their post limits" for that given thread leaving nothing but fly by night Creationists who drop one offs of PRATTs.

I have a message responding to points PaulK posted, opining his position which I plan to prepare for posting this evening. I look forward to reading your message. What thread will it be in? This one would be inappropriate since your Message 42 as well as PaulK's Message 43 were, for the most part, well off-topic for this thread. Maybe "The Powers" will grant special dispensation?
psst ... If not, you could surrepticiously add a dog pile joke to the front of your message, then maybe they will just kinda miss the rest of your text. Just don't tell anyone where you got this idea.

quote:quote: What is truth, Paul? Truth is relative to whose perspective truth is deemed credible. By all means, keep on telling your perspective of what is true. That's a lot of what debate boards are about. No? Some intelligent, educated and renowned creationists view some of conventional science's abstract methodology, defying logic, for arriving at truth as poor science.
quote:quote: Reasoned? Logic and reason are related. Again, whose hypothetical perspective is reasonable is debatable. We're demanding nothing of the pack. The pack is the unreasonable majority who's methodology often defies logic. The pack and their leaders demand their way or the highway.
quote:quote: That depends on whose/what hypothetical perspective you are reading.
quote:quote: You mean, like the singularity, abiogenesis and multi verse theories, deemed by many as inventions arrived at via abstract methodology, defying logic, some, unsupported by basic thermodynamic scientific laws? Many don't think valid reasons are given to render the above the status of theory.
quote:quote:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------These are all elitist who have had their minds programmed through the assembly line of academia from kindergarten on up to graduate level; whose prestige, peer status and livelihood require pack supported hypothetical perspectives. quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------quote: I know. Sigh. Nevertheless, a few of us thick skinned creationists keep on keeping on, the best we can over the years, on behalf of our creationist hypothetical perspectives, in spite of the handicaps imposed upon us by the pack. Perhaps the day will come when one or two of our counterparts will come to realize that some of our perspectives make more sense than what had been programmed into their packman POVs. I'm not asking anyone to accept anything relating to the creationist perspective as to whether it's evidence or not. All we ask of the pack is to allow us to air our POV, debating from our hypothetical perspective relative to evidence and science. Lennart Moller, renowned marine biologist claims to have photographed corral shaped forms citing numerous corroborative acclaims to evidence. From the perspective of many creationists, scientist Moller has cited evidence from scientific research. Counterparts argue that none of it is considered evidence, ordering Buzsaw to produce what is considered by the pack as evidence or leave off debating the topic,
quote: Back to square one. Whose perspective of what is true and renowned by whom? By some credible institutions, yes, Moller is considered renowned as a marine biologist, having the marine craft, equipped with the scientific technology to do scientific research and the knowledge to use it effectively in his profession. Of course, the pack mustn't acknowledge any of Moller's corroborating evidences as evidence, supportive to Moller's photographed acclaimed evidence. No, none of that for the pack, who's secularistic mindset is at stake. quote:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Look, there's no point getting frustrated because people prefer facts and sound reasoning to your imaginings. That's the way it has to be on ANY forum which tries to get to the truth. So stop whining and demanding that the forum must be biased in your favor. Accept your (many) defeats and move on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yah, I know, Paul. How many times do I have to be told? I shouldn't be responding to the pack's arguments relative to thread topics like this. These sorts of threads are deemed the pack's turf. That's considered whining; not debate. Whining is considered off topic by the pack. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW. The Immeasurable Present Eternally Extends the Infinite Past And Infinitely Consumes The Eternal Future.

My points posted above show how dog piling tends towards, pack tactics, somewhat like coyotes go after deer and other larger animals. By virtue of numbers the pilers working together and aggressively agreeing among themselves that their way is the only way allowed and alternative hypothetical perspective must be debated on the piler's scientific methodologies and viewpoints about what is acceptable in the science for and what should be disallowed. Unless the pack pilers consider evidence as viable debate creationists must be moderated motheringly, post by post, as per the Exodus Thread, etc. I am told by the pack's leader that none of the piler pack accept my acclamation of evidence. Therefore my evidence is considered nil, no matter how many I have cited corroborating one another. So AZPaul, though I still oppose limiting the dog pilers perhaps moderators would do good to keep a better handle on how dog pilers sometimes abuse their privilege, making unreasonable demands on the lone or minority member/s whom they are piling on.

Science isn't like religion, Buz. Science has standards. I understand that just anyone can say "I'm a christian, yay!" and you can't tell them they are wrong. Sure, they may not be your brand of christian, but they sure as shit are christian. Science, on the other hand, has procedures. You're either using the scientific method, or you're not. You don't get to define evidence as it suits your worldview. You don't get to just say "I'm doing science, yay!" and qualify it as science. So no, there is no "hivemind" that you are alluding to. It just so happens that the "pack" knows the scientific method and we all use it properly. Of course we will all agree when you are wrong. maybe because.....you're wrong?

RAZD writes: Maybe that would encourage people to put a little MORE QUALITY into their posts rather than just post off the cuff remarks and snide comments? Hi RAZD. I hope all is well with you. Last we heard, you were out and about. Perhaps if the pilers and piled on were all moderated equally about poor quality in posting there would not only be less dog piling, but better quality of messages aired. Some of what I get from the pilers on would never be tolerated from some of us being piled on to. BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.

All of my Exodus row of ducks-in-sequence pertained to physical evidence cited. Dog pilers often support one another's false claims that it's all about doctrinal religious stuff and not about visible evidence. Your misconception posted above appears to bear that out.

Wow. I knew it wouldn't sink in, but I didn't think it would completely go over your head.......
None of the evidence cited in the Exodus thread or in matters about space properties, etc had to do with religion perse. No shit. I didn't say that it did....
All of my Exodus row of ducks-in-sequence pertained to physical evidence cited. Your ability to mangle even the simplest of phrases is truly amazing.
Dog pilers often support one another's false claims that it's all about doctrinal religious stuff and not about visible evidence. Your misconception posted above appears to bear that out. Read again what I wrote. However, this time do it slower....and in full. You will notice, after actually reading (and hopefully comprehending this time) that I did NOT accuse your post of being "doctrinal religious stuff". Please, read before you respond.

quote: In other words you assume that all truth is relative so that well-established science is on a par with some indefensible nonsense you just made up. Of course I disagree.
quote: Which only means that they attack science because it comes to conclusions they don't like.
quote: As usual when you say that it is "debatable" you mean that you refuse to admit that you are wrong. And if you cannot understand a position, you cannot know that it is "lacking logic". In short this is more of the same, whining that people do not unquestionably accept your silly opinions.
quote: Of course I am assuming a basically honest reader rather than someone who unquestioningly worships you.
quote: No, I don't. ALL of these are better supported than your opinion, which relies only on "Buzsaw says so". The singularity - assuming you mean the state at the start of the Big Bang = is obtained by applying known science. Naturalistic abiogenesis is not cited as a fact although we have evidence to support the idea that it happened and no better explanation of life on Earth. The multiverse is cited only as a possibility that is consistent with known science. None of these defy logic or thermodynamics. If you could actually give a real valid mechanism by which the Flood would consistently mess up all the dating mechanisms I would admit that you have a point, But you don't even really try.
quote: All unsubstantiated accusations.
quote: In fact counter-arguments were given which you could not address.
quote: Sp what do you mean by "allowing your perspective", if not agreeing with your false assertions ? Do you mean that disagreement should be censored ? If you put your claims out for debate or tender them as evidence then we MUST be free to disagree and even to show that they are false. You refer back to the Exodus thread where I personally debunked much of your "evidence" and showed that the rest was of no real value in supporting the Exodus myth. And that is simple, absolute truth. All you are complaining about is the fact that Admin wouldn't let you drag out the thread uselessly by repeating the same assertions after they had been dealt with. Since you dishonestly attempt to use the length of the thread to argue that you were doing well (when you were only dragging it out to avoid accepting defeat) Admin's actions seem quite appropriate. Certainly they were directed to making progress in the discussion. The fact that you diid not want the discussion to progress because your case had been shattered is irrelevant.
quote: That's simply a lie. Moller's speciality is Environmental Medicine.
quote: All the "evidences" were shown to be either false, questionable and/or had no clear connection to the Exodus. That is simple fact.
quote: Of course you are whining. You are attacking your opponents because you were badly defeated in a debate. You are complaining that your assertions are not unquestioningly believed. You are complaining that you are expected to produce real evidence for your claims when they venture into the domain of science. How is any of that anything but whining ?

PaulK writes: quote:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yet the pack considers the Singularity event, having no space into which have happened, no time in which to have happened and no outside of into which to expand, as evidence based. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By which you mean that "the pack" accept the opinions of leading, expert, scientists over that of some ignorant guy on the internet. This would seem to be a rational position. PaulK, that is a baseless comment right there. It's no better than the one's you're critisizing. What makes you think the "leading" Scientists "opinions" ( a word YOU used) Yes, opinions are any better than the "leading" Creation Scientists'? Both Creation and "real" Scientists each have a set of opinions and facts to backup what they say, what makes the Scientists YOU believe anymore qualified than the one's WE believe. Don't tell me they have facts to back it up either, so do we, which you just discount as pseudo Science. So what seperates good evidence from bad? What makes Dr. Steve Austin, for example( who's a Geologist and provides evidence of a world wide Flood) personal work on six continents unreliable? Saying he's a Creationist doesn't count. He has done hands on research AND is educated: B.S. (Geology), University of Washington, Seattle, WA,1970 M.S. (Geology), San Jose State University, San Jose, CA, 1971 Ph.D. (Geology), Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, 1979 So, why are the "opinions"(your words) of YOUR sources any better than ours PaulK?

Oh, and for anyone who missed it, what you guys are doing to Buz, is a good example of what "Dog piling" really is.
Way to get into the TRUE spirit of the post. Thanks for the hands on lesson. Now we know!

I see this as both undesirable and simply not working well. These sort of restrictions penalize individuals for behavior presumably the community wishes participants to engage in (assisting others, trying to get threads back on topic) and would even reward individuals for behaviors the community doesn’t desire (game-playing threads, running opponents replies out). Another concept would be to limit a members posts per topic, subject to review and a reset/extension. Say, a member was limited to 5 posts per topic. S/he would be wise to not squander his/her messages on a dog pile.Just a rough idea. How would such a system not cause people to create multiple similar threads? If one only gets five replies then when done, they’re reduced to not being answered or starting more threads. I think you’re looking at this though the myopic lenses of having full access. You don’t see the issues which come with restricted access as they don’t much exist for admins.

Should I stop replying in this thread now that I've exceeded five posts? This isn't to snark, but to demonstrate the point.
