Are you bipolar? I mean, I have been reading over posts on this board for a long time. I read much more than I post, if that is an indication of how much reading (I suppose the example would work better if all that was lost in the crash had not been, but cest la vie) I have done.

Here is what I see:

1. You propose a hypothesis
2. It gets shredded scientifically
3. You respond with personal attacks
4. Others respond with personal attacks and show you scriptures saying "don't return evil with evil," "Love one another"
5. You write off scriptures that certainly must convict your heart (they would mine if I said what you have said), and then show scriptures that refute the personal attacks of others.
6. You ask if anyone likes you

The above works like an infinite programming loop. You've gotta end the cycle, man. If you plan on coming to the science board, plan on discussing science and being able to back it up. Don't take it personal when people disagree with you, this is a debate/discussion board...there is no way everyone is going to ever agree 100% on any real issue (so whether murder is right or wrong is not a real issue ).

I decided to post this to try and offer help, I hope you see it as such. I posted this after reading the entirety of the "Does Geology shows YEC, OEC, or GAP?" thread that you posted.

The reaction you had to PhantomLlama's post was evidence that you didn't get that he wasn't talking about you/your wife or anything of the sort. As was already noted (but since you haven't apologized to him yet, I still don't think you've figured it out), Phantom Llama was showing a comparison between the title of your post:

Does Geology shows YEC, OEC, or GAP?

and the statement:

Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

Both questions inherently define the answer set for a reader. Your question only allows for the answers of YEC, OEC or GAP. Llama's question only allows for the answers "I still beat my wife" or "I don't beat her any more" - thereby implying that you used to -- do you get it now? It wasn't a personal attack, he was trying to get you to see how to re-word a question.

You can not even get out of the gate without stumbling and falling into error. I do not get "shredded" at all. I present the truth and when they see they can no longer defend their error, then as an act of desperation they turn it into a personal attack on me.

If people could defend their beliefs, then there would be no need for all the personal attacks, we could just get on with the discussion.

I haven't bothered with personal attacks and have shredded some of your scientific arguments I think... could be someone else though, but I have only heard one good argument so far (it was omnipotence, and it was pretty clever.)

Indeed. I prefer the term 'pulverised'.

I present the truth and when they see they can no longer defend their error, then as an act of desperation they turn it into a personal attack on me.

My irony meter is emitting a slowly rising whine...

Have to finish this post quickly, now the stupid thing is spewing smoke everywhere. The manufacturers really need to put a higher tolerance on their newer models.

I estimate this thread will go a couple of pages before we get into the whole 'I know you are, but what am I' thing.

Please stop this!

The rules are still there - and personal thread were not allowed. Take it to PM if you want to take this further.

Now where the heck is the "report" button in this new layout.

Freodin...right under someone's signature file is something that says "Report Post." That's how you report a post.

And as for this thread...it's an attack against a member as well as it's aimed towards one member...both of which are not allowed. The first is a violation against the forum rules the second isn't a huge violation but is usually frowned upon greatly.

Therefore this thread is closed.
