Why were so many of the PhDs and others banned? How did you avoid the same fate? Feel free to private message me if you don’t want to tell the world. I’ll be discrete.

I really have no idea, I just went back through the thread and checked on the names, many have been banned, some haven’t posted for years = and I was never active enough to draw attention to myself...I guess.

Maybe when science and dogma conflict the result is annihilation?

There was a gradual escalation of the conflict between the science guys and the religious people and some of the science guys reached the 'tipping-point' and used the wrong language which caused Jim to ban them....this just inflamed the situation further and, more language, more banning,etc.

Many of the science guys just up and quit in support of those banned.

I was able to hold my tongue through all the fighting.

FYI, Jim had been ocassionally banning the serious religious disrupters to my science threads through all my posting history. One particularly persistent disrupter, FReeper 'f.Christian' was banned by Jim.
(I'm told) He went on a criticizing campaign against both me and Jim on other conservative sites. I seriously considering leaving FR too. So.....(Everybody Lost!)
