Darwinist Ideologues Are on the Run

The two scariest words in the English language? Intelligent Design! That phrase tends to produce a nasty rash and night sweats among our elitist class.

Should some impressionable teenager ever hear those words from a public school teacher, we are led to believe, that student may embrace a secular heresy: that some intelligent force or energy, maybe even a god, rather than Darwinian blind chance, has been responsible for the gazillions of magnificently designed life forms that populate our privileged planet.

From the Compact OED:

conspiracy

• noun (pl. conspiracies) 1 a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. 2 the action of conspiring.
[emphasis added]

We have some set of events that occurred, most of which are not in dispute, yet the origin/genesis of the process appears unknown but not unknowable.

Why don't you just pursue your quest with those who were in a position to know the answers?

Or are you incapable of figuring out who they might be?

End of argument.

Ho Hum....

In 810 I introduced "conspired against". Your idol manipulated it into "conspiracy" in 825 . And his disciples have grabbed on....

Your motives are obvious and I don't fault you for trying, hang in there.

This barrel fishing is kinda fun ya know.. ;)

someone enjoined the mods to help relieve the EVO/CREVO threads of some abusers...

Of course it has nothing to do with the high volume of abuse reports that went flying when a crevo discussions got heated. And it couldn't possibly be that a creationist asked the mods to engage in such a search. No, it must have been a collaboration of those on the evo side deliberately seeking to have gore3000 banned through no fault of his own by asking the mods to "investigate". And by "investigage", they really meant "ban gore3000".

It's just a vast evo-wing conspiracy, isn't it?

[darbymcgill]

Why don't you just pursue your quest with those who were in a position to know the answers?

Because it doesn't matter, and I could care less.

My point is that those on these threads that call people names, tin foil hatters, psychos, etc. expecting us to believe the only way someone gets banned is by being abusive.

Being abusive alone will not necessarily get you banned. It's obvious that is not the case or there would only be a handful of posters left on these threads anyway.

There is an extremely remote possibility that the mods may be randomly monitoring some threads and notice random abuse and take action. But you know, I know and most everyone else knows that someone must notify the mods that there is an abuser present. When that happens, the person making the complaint and the mod/s are "conspiring", "working as a team", "planning", "negotiating", call it what you will to have the abuse stop.

It is my contention that whenever someone gets banned, not withstanding their posts, it's because a complaint was lodged and more importantly more than once...

If you guys want to continue to abuse those who understand the process, you do so at the peril of your cred...

It's just a vast evo-wing conspiracy, isn't it?

OK. You got me. It's all true. I orchestrated the whole thing, along with Robert Catesby, Mata Hari, and someone who I never saw, but who always met me in a carpark and called himself Deep Throat.

We were the same team who discredited Piltdown Man, when we realised that that fine real fossil didn't fit in with evolutionist fabrications.

And I was on the Beagle, pointing out differences between Finches to Darwin. The naive fool was so easily led. Also I helped Jack Ruby shoot JFK at the theatre in Washington. Shortly before handing the H-Bomb secrets to the Belgians. I confess it all.

All Jim Robinson needed was a million-dollar bung. That kind of cash is small-change to Darwin Central and the Grand Master was happy to oblige. I only kept 10% commission myself. Any story from Jim that he only got $50k for banning gore3000 is just his bad memory. You ain't got no proof.

[darbymcgill]

And it couldn't possibly be that a creationist asked the mods to engage in such a search.

It very well could have been. I never claimed it to be either side....

Of course it has nothing to do with the high volume of abuse reports that went flying when a crevo discussions got heated.

You are obviously privy to more data in that regard than am I. If your statement is factual then you are helping make my points.

Thank you....

The demise of g3k was in this thread: Scientists find evolution of life. It was a thread started by Dales. In post 359, g3k summoned Jim Robinson. JR appeared at post 363 and told g3k: "No one is compelling you to participate on these threads or even on this forum. If you don't like what other posters are saying on these threads, why don't you just stay off of them?"

The thread drags on, but g3k went rapidly downhill. On his own. His last post was 421. Post 425 seems to be the banning.

[Thatcherite]

So, a nefarious conspiracy between Gore3000 and Gore3000 to get Gore3000 banned. The dog. We don't want that kind of dirty conspiratorial behaviour round here...Oh...Wait...

[darbymcgill]

you think when you press "report abuse" on yourself that you get a "cool it" and a "we handled it" ping at the same time?

[longshadow]

g3k summoned Jim Robinson.

IOW, he invited the executioner to his own execution.

Or, to put in a way that even the most brain-addled delusional paranoid can understand it: g3k summoning JR of his own free will and volition, and subsequent bad behavior, was the proximate cause of his own banning. No "War Room" at DarwinCentral™, no conspirators, no conspiracy. Just a lone, out-of-control asshole getting his just desserts, as a consequence of summoning and then insulting the owner of this forum.

Thanks for helping to clear that up.

"As I am an ape myself, it would be astonishing if my ancestors didn't include apes."

Better you than me.

"I am also a primate, a mammal, and a vertebrate."

You can be all those things and not be an ape.

Men, with a few exceptions, are not apes, are not animals.

If men aren't animals, what are they? Plants? Fungus?

This thread is getting dull. Lets get back to the important stuff:

---

Fossil: Taung Child

Site: Buxton Limeworks, Taung, South Africa (1)

Discovered By: M. de Bruyn 1924 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 2.3 mya * determined by Faunal & geomorphological data (1, 4, 5)

Species Name: Australopithecus africanus (1, 3, 7, 8)

Gender: Unknown (1)

Cranial Capacity: 405 (440 as adult) cc (1, 3)

Information: First early hominid fossil found in Africa (7, 8)

Interpretation:

• Juvenile (3 years old based on deciduous teeth, first permanent molars) (1, 3, 4, 7)
• Bipedal hominid (based on position of foramen magnum, brain endocast, small canines) (1, 3, 4, 7)
  
• Killed possibly by bird of prey (based on fractures and puncture marks on skull) (1, 10)

Better you than me.

Why? Do you think that God wouldn't love you if you shared common descent with the other apes?

You can be all those things and not be an ape.

Why are you not offended by the idea that you are a mammal and a vertebrate, yet you are apparently offended by the idea that you are an ape? Ape is simply a tighter classification.

If you are not an animal, then what are you? Some kind of AI program? You seem very confused.

[Thatcherite]

you think when you press "report abuse" on yourself that you get a "cool it" and a "we handled it" ping at the same time?

You are impervious to the facts of the matter. Or just trolling. Or both. Gore3000 summoned JR to the thread himself, and then proceeded to insult him. What part of that suicidal behaviour are you trying to turn into a conspiracy that involves anyone other than Gore3000?

I'm confused??? I'm not the one that thinks I'm an ape...

[Thatcherite]

So, are you an animal or not? If you aren't an animal what are you? Why do you think it odd to classify oneself as an ape or an animal, but not as a mammal or a vertebrate?
