CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I hope they don't think I ran off. I just happened to not get on my computer for 36 hours or so.

That forum is way to cliqueish. Debate over there seems to be about who can "thank" and "no thank" people's posts more rather than anyone actually trying to discuss the issues.

My computer at home has been undergoing major upgrades so the only access I've had of late is at work.
The sacrifices I'll make to get a RAID setup

I haven't been able to access their forum for several days now (it just kicks me back to the web site's main page). Could I have been banned?

Apparently. I left for a little while to upgrade my computer (and because I got tired of arguing creationists) and it appears I can no longer post there while logging in.
Oh well. At least I gave it my best shot!

Looks like I'm still able to log in. I posted as of 9:45 am and it looks like that was the last post to the evolution thread.
Scotz must be too busy doing his Zoology work to have responded to a number of us who have called him out.

I thought what was more amusing was that certain creationists backed him up as if all the other pages of evidence had never been posted.

Aye. It's their System. They found a Way to Flame the "Undesirable" off the Board without violating any Rule of Common Desency. All the have to do is Neg Rep you to -15 and you become instantly banned (Or rather, your Account is locked.) That's what happened to me too.
I wonder if enough people Pos Rep you to above 15 then maybe you can regain your Privaledges.

Can we get enough people here to do that? To swarm the rep system so much that they are overwhelmed?

But it has to be beatable.
If anyone wants to positively rep me back, feel free. I only need 16 points LOL.

I guess I'm banned too. Trying to access the forums kicks me back to the main page in IE. But I can view them fine with Firefox (where I am not logged in) and noticed my profile now reads, "My Hattiesburg Troll". Nice.
Oh well, I guess silencing the opposition is better than trying to confront the issues. After all, not one single person there was able to address the usefulness of modern evolutionary biology.

No kidding. What people don't seem to get over there, is that nothing he posts actually disproves evolution. He's simply pointing to, like anything in science, areas of speculation or incomplete data. So because we don't have perfect knowledge of evolution, therefore it's false? What a dumb argument.
I had a response planned to discuss actual evidence in favor of macroevolutionary descent, but I guess I won't have a chance to post it now.

Regrettibly, I find the not to be possible. Once banned, your posts all become Locked-out as well. You can't Rep them either way.

Here's an idea.
Make a New Account and pretend to argue for the opposing side and make all the Arguements that the rest of these guys refuse to do. Then, maybe no one can say that it's an unfair fight while, at the same time, disect their whole position bit-by-bit.
They probably won't read it but, Hey! At least they can't use the Excuse "If no one told us, we can't be held responcible for being wrong!"
Wish I can do that. I wish I can put up a convincing debate.
