Re: Topic Direction
I'd like to see improvements in your ability to engage in true discussion with fellow debaters before promoting any more of your thread proposals. For example, in the Numerological Arguments that the Speed of Light was Designed thread you've ignored all the responses pointing out math errors. You still haven't figured out quoting and how to use the dBCodes (again, see dBCode Help). I'd like to see you begin quoting specific points that you then address. When we begin seeing improvements of this kind we can reconsider promoting this thread proposal.

Re: Open Discussion Needed and Valuable

I repeat Open discussion and two sided debate is valuable and much needed. Evolutionists need a chance to understand and know and explain their origins
Agreed, I love discussions..... debate...and stimulating the mind
Your quote isn't from any text in this thread - where did it come from? Did you put your own original text in a quote box and then respond in agreement to it? You're just increasing my doubts that you understand how to participate in a discussion.
When in other threads I observe you engaging in back-and-forth discussion with other participants then I can consider this thread again.

Re: Evolutionists propose topic and it gets promoted but ...
Until you demonstrate the ability in existing threads to stay on topic and engage in back-and-forth discussion, none of your thread proposals will be promoted. For example, your thread Debunking the Evolutionary God of 'Selection' is at risk of being dropped into summation mode because you won't discuss the topic.

Re: Evolutionists propose topic and it gets promoted but ...
I told you what it would take for your topic proposals to get promoted. I suggest you pay attention of what I wrote instead of making misinterpretations. There's no need to read between the lines, I stated just what I meant. Most of your posts consist of insulting comments about evolutionists, bald declarations with no supporting evidence or argument, followed by absurd declarations of victory. This is a board for serious discussion, and if you can't do that then you'll find your participation becoming more and more constrained.

Hi Davidjay,
If you have specific complaints about discussion, make them in the Report Discussion Problems Here 4.0 thread. See the Forum Guidelines for what might be considered violations. So far all I see is people noting with increasing frustration your refusals to discuss and your violations of the Forum Guidelines. You keep declaring your willingness to discuss, but you rarely seem to actually do it.

Which guideline did I break ?
I think your contributions would be greatly improved if you paid greater attention to these from the Forum Guidelines:
  1. Please follow all moderator requests. Concerns about moderation should be taken to the Report Discussion Problems Here thread.
  2. Please stay on topic for a thread. Open a new thread for new topics.
  3. Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
  4. Avoid any form of misrepresentation.
  5. The sincerely held beliefs of other members deserve your respect. Please keep discussion civil. Argue the position, not the person.

Hi Davidjay,
I wish you were more open to feedback. Shutting this proposal down.
