No one was banned for simply supporting evolution no matter how many times you say it or how much you wish it were so.

Sorry mm -- that is just not true. Many or most were banned for their views on (read: understanding of) evolution -- including me. Yes, some were frustrated and resorted to snide retorts, but not even CLOSE to what they were met with. You have only to see E/S and wendy####s responses on THIS VERY THREAD. Those types of responses got many DCers banned. Creationists had immunity. Including you.

Revisionist history is not a good thing under any circumstance.

But, FWIIW, you were honest in your discussion and always tried to keep it on an objective level. Not so, many of your colleagues who just resort to name calling.

Some asked to have their accounts nuked, some were banned for taking liberal positions on political or moral issues, some threatened lawsuits against JR, some made incredibly obscene comments to and about DLR, some were nuked for being retreads.

For all the bannings that I remember seeing, they were all for violating forum rules and defying the mods corrections regarding behavior and post content.

There are copies of pulled posts that resulted in the plug being pulled on some of those FReepers floating around. They were nuked with good reason.

So, please, which FReepers were banned for merely supporting evolution and why then, weren’t more banned, and why were you allowed back if that’s the criteria.

The bannings haven’t been one sided either. There are more than a few on the creationist side who have incurred FR’s blue screen of death.
