  • 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.

Think you might have been Poe'd, AV.
Hmmm -- it looks like it, I guess. I don't sit in evolution classrooms and hear what they teach and don't teach.

Here's his original post: 1000.

One of the few times he didn't use his signature array of ":Ds".

I knew as soon as I saw the name that a forum called Evolution Fairytale would probably be run by Fred Williams. Is that where you are getting so many incorrect ideas about evolution and science? I remember Fred from the late 90's even before that incident on OCW when he was both posting and secretly moderating. If I had time I would go over there and try correct some of the obvious errors I saw on a brief perusal but I don't think I would last long a a board Fairytale Fred moderates anyway. I am sure there are a few other people here who have interesting memories of Fred.:D:D

So, I'm no detective or anything, BUT:

That post you linked is from someone named Taikoo, not Hespera. I'm also pretty certain that their posting styles are very different. I'm also not sure that Hespera is Chinese, and (sorry Hes) I'm pretty sure that Hespera is quite a bit older than that poster.

I might also be wrong.

Nope that is me. Taikoo / Hespera. Same fibula broken in the same number of pieces from the same car at the same time. Dunno whats the problem supposed to be here but forum rules suggest not responding to harassment and flaming so i wont say anything further about that post.

There is no "evolutionist doctrine" where souls are concerned.


Nor "doctrine" where anything else is concerned, (whatever a "soul" is supposed to be)

Kind of like what i said, what is the christian geometry on ectoplasm. Meaningless question.

Would you happen to know if this remark is standard rhetoric with atheism:
May his soul rest in peace!
I wasn't aware they said that -- but again -- I don't think like an atheist.

I know that rhetoric is just that -- rhetoric.

I'll leave the discussion of words without meaning to you.
I must admit -- I about fell off my chair when I saw an atheist say those words.

I don't know if it was a faux pas (I'm assuming it was), standard rhetoric, or what.

On the other hand, perhaps evolution teaches we have souls.

I don't know, but trying to find out is starting to be an exercise in futility here.

Why do you pretend it means something?

Are you a closet-YEC or something? Because you seem to stalk us around the net, joining our forums...odd

Judging by the date you and she joined this forum, it would seem more likely that it is you who's stalking her, champ. ;)

For a white supremacist you seem to be fixating on an Asian girl... hmm.
