Dishonest behaviour?
We're discussing the use of information in a dishonest manner ie using incorrect information to support a position even though you know its false.
What I wondered about was dishonest behaviour. For example, a Creationist who deliberately sets out, not to debate or provide evidence for their assertions, but goes Hell for leather in breaking forum guidelines in order to get suspended. I suspect that somewhere out there ther are a bunch of these people using their suspensions as evidence of bias towards evolution on this forum and claiming that they were only suspended because they were "whupping" the evolutionists.
I realise that this is much more difficult to substantiate because you are having to guess what people's motivations are, but one example recently has been so blatant that I thought I'd just mention this.

Re: Topic
Sorry Ned. I'd forgotten the original reason for this thread being started and got myself wound up to a frenzy last night. Back to dishonest facts! PS you're still my Knight in Shining Armour
