I agree and disagree on a regular basis with normal people however this is creepy.

This is not about "agreeing or disagreeing". This is about someone posting material they know to be false, because they have been shown extensive documentation of its falsity in the past, and then they continue to post the false claims.

As an old saying goes: "You are entitled to your own opinions. You are not, however, entitled to your own 'version' of facts."

What kind of a person would keep files on other

Someone who is tired of seeing falsehoods repeatedly put forth to mislead other people.

Upfront I am a Creationist who has NO DOUBT that God created ALL we see and don't see in seven LITERAL 24 hour days - just as He stated in the Bible.

Feel free.

Objective science also supports that.

You're kidding, right? You've been corrected on this point countless times previously, and you have been unable to support this claim when asked to do so.

As for you, you prefer to believe in evolution.

No, wrong. We "prefer to believe" whatever the real-world evidence and vast amounts of cross-validating research indicates actually happened. It happens to turn out that it overwhelmingly indicates evolution. If you're still unclear on this concept, please read: Do You Believe in Evolution?.

You, on the other hand, "prefer" to disregard reality and cling to whatever beliefs you *choose* to have, and if that means rejecting everything the real world actually shows, you're happy to do so.

That's your choice, of course, and no one is trying to deprive you of it. But don't expect us to appreciate it when someone not only *ignores* the actual evidence, but actually *make up* claims about it which are simply not true and then passes on these misrepresentations to pollute the minds of others. We don't accept that kind of behavior from Michael Moore, and we won't accept it from anyone else either.

That is your choice however you have NO RIGHT to attempt to intimidate people into silence with "files" that you know you selectively edited.

He has not "selectively edited" them, and he'll be glad to provide links to your original posts so they can be read verbatim. Nor is he trying to "intimidate people into silence", he's trying to shame them into no longer telling blatant falsehoods over and over again.

What kind of a person does that?

Someone who actually cares about protecting the truth from being destroyed by false propaganda.

Are you so cornered that you must refer to Nazi tactics to stop debate?

No, actually there is another party to this debate which is more at home with those sort of propaganda techniques.

As best I know, only desperate people have to resort to your tactics.

"Only desperate people" have to "resort to" pointing it out when people are posting falsehoods? Ooookay...

I'm sure glad I have better things to do with my time than to save replies in files, edit them to suit my purposes, which in your case is to silence or embarrass people.

If you actually feel that avoiding falsehoods would leave you with nothing but silence, you might want to reconsider your material.

I can't imagine wasting my time like that nor having such a hateful grudge on someone who does not agree with me.

This is not about "disagreement". And I think you know that full well.

There's something VERY DISTURBING about a person that does this.

Yes, I can see how some kinds of people might find it disturbing to be held to sticking to the truth.

Perhaps you ought to back off this evolution myth.

It's not a myth, it's supported by over a hundred years of solid science.

You seem to be obsessed with it - this is not normal.

The only thing he's "obsessed with" is the belief that when people engage in a discussion, they should do so honestly.

I don't understand why you believe you are above the rules on THIS forum.

Which rules are you referring to?

Hopefully someone will enforce them for ALL who participate here. You're way out of line.

He's merely saying that if someone consistently posts falsehoods instead of facts, he's going to call them on it, and he's even letting them know in advance in the hopes that they'll behave honorably. How exactly is that "out of line"? Wouldn't you do the same if you found someone distorting the truth?

"As an old saying goes: "You are entitled to your own opinions. You are not, however, entitled to your own 'version' of facts."

Why is nmh not entitled to his own version of the facts? You hold on to the myth of evolution as fact. Is that not your entitlement?

You readily accept 100 years of conjecture as truth but reject 5,000 years of written word and human experience as false. Cannot nmh do the same but visa-versa?

You propagate the falsehood of evolution. Cannot nmh propagate the falsehood creationism?

You see, neither of you have fact on your side. Only faith.
I, for one will side with nmh and the faith that God made all and it is He that I must follow. If I'm wrong, I'll have to answer to Darwin. Whoop-de-doo.

You care that some people around here don't tell the truth? That is deeply disturbing. Why can't you think outside the box and disregard reality like your debate opponents?
