I've even said science cannot use God as a causation because He cannot be tested for; we were making this point long before Aric2000 ever showed up. Now, I'm going to have to go back through the entire TUCvER resource looking for examples from prior years. Maybe I'll get some help and have something for you shortly.

Seriously- is there a reason behind your posting style?

JimRob can do whatever JimRob wishes. I have let him know my displeasure at being named as a "harasser" of Alamo Girl.

Should he have said "Ogmios" instead?

He is free to ban or keep whomever he wishes.

Maintaining a minimal level of polite discourse means booting the adolescent disruptors when they act up. Just like in real life.

What does this shouting match between "y'all" have to do with this quote from the article that started this thread?:

""Many laboratories are now working on identifying pathogenic mutations,"

It is a rotten shame that not one piece can be posted on anything to do with DNA that isn't turned into a philosophical marathon; worse yet, the same cast of characters always seem to bloviate back and forth until the debate becomes a donnybrook.

Umm... okay. I wasn't looking to get insulted, but that seems to be par for the course. I was simply asking why you write the way you do, nothing more.

Interesting that someone who was specifically warned against harrassing AG is now back accusing her of misusing scripure. I guess thow who profess to believe scripture are exempt from the admonition not to judge others, exempt from the requirement to forgive, exempt from any obligation to behave better than the heathen.

And I really like the veiled threat embodied in the reminder that we will all find out the truth someday. Nothing like holding the spider over the flames to learn it the truth.

Coming from someone who called me a "lying sack of sh!t" and a "shameless hussy for Satan", I will take that to be a slam against yourself. I've never said anything as egregious as half of your statements, and yet I'm called out as a "harasser". Go figure.

Also, I wasn't harassing. I wasn't even posting to her. I was answering Vade Retro's specific comments. Whatever.

I'm not at all surprised, since your friends are on record at that other site, conspiring to get us banned. Oh wait, I didn't make the "A" list, so I shouldn't be complaining. But I do think folks who plot -- in public -- to get freepers banned, should not expect the warm hand of friendship.

Junior,
Save yourself the trouble if you have to go back that far. A2's post and Oggy's post were only a month apart. He was pulling out his shiny new toy every chance he got. The wording and phrasing is the same. So all that is left is for him to answer the question. Is Ogmios the same person formerly postin as Aric2000? Yes or no.
Regards,
Boiler Plate

P.S. I don't think Vade wants to be part of this anymore.

And flagging Alamo Girl was exactly trying to accomplish what? As far as I'm concerned, there are 4, maybe 5, troublemakers on these threads. They come on creationist threads with the usual insults and wreck threads and get them pulled. That's what happened with the threads that Vade spoke of. They (the evolutionist posters I am speaking of) can't post on a single thread without baits and insults. If this were my forum, they would be gone. Instead, I'll probably be gone because Alamo Girl will complain that I'm still harassing her. Thanks JS. You really show you care about the truth.

Well, its because of these shenanigans that I didn't give in the Freepathon this year. I was planning to, but after I was singled out, I realized things have changed. It's been a fun 5 years. It's just not the same though.
