Another example of pishpoor deshign.

Seriously. Too much acetaldehyde produced in alcohol metabolism - any reasonable designer ought to have anticipated this hangover thing. Plus, it's slow and involuntary - alcohol metabolism should be a rapid process, and one controlled consciously by the drinker. That way, I could drink as much as I liked, and still safely drive myself home. And this whole metabolic pathway is way too inflexible - drink ethanol, and you'll likely be okay. Drink a different alcohol - say, ethylene glycol - and you're in real trouble from the metabolites that are produced.

Yeah, this whole booze thing could be greatly improved by a competent designer, if you ask me...

I notice you don't say one word about effdot's behavior.

I rarely look at his posts.

Unlike evolutionists, I do not condemn people for telling the truth.

Now they all have blood on their hands

You are supposed to present a factual basis for charges when you make them. What is the basis for this charge?

You have received the required "polite warning" in post 551. The agreement (from which you have withdrawn, but by which I am bound) provides:
If the conduct continues, any of the otherwise complying posters may engage the non-complying posting with harsh language otherwise prohibited by the agreement. However, there is never any obligation on a complying poster at any time to refrain from pressing abuse on a non-complying poster.
You then posted 554, which says:
You used the agreement to persecute ALS. Part of which persecution was accomplished by the totally immoral publication of a private e-mail. The dishonorable actions of the evolutionists and their fellow traveller are abundantly proven in the following posts Post 2496, Post# 2541, Post# 2619 , and Post# 2688 of the Phoebe Debates thread which of course the Clintonian hypocrites of evolution ignored.

I had nothing to do with ALS's freepmail. Nor have I "persecuted" ALS. You have therefore posted an accusation without providing any evidence to support your accusation. Your links to the Phoebe thread are all to posts by you, which have nothing to do with, and which present no evidence of my alleged persecution of ALS.

In that same post (554) you used the demeaning expression "the Clintonian hypocrites of evolution." This is yet another violation of the agreement.

Then, in post 557, you again violated the agreement when you said: "Your hypocrisy and that of your fellow evolutionists is abundantly proven in the links in my post above." You have not demonstrated any hypocracy on my part, so this is another unsupported accusation.

You have therefore, by your actions, shown yourself to be a "non-complying poster." The agreement, by which I am bound, provides:

After having made such a good faith attempt to bring the offending poster into compliance, if the problematic poster continues in the offending behavior we may post a warning (such as: "Don't feed the trolls!") to other posters that the problematic party has chosen not to comply. If the problem persists, the offender may thereafter be called a provocateur, troll, spammer, or disruptor, and doing so will not be a violation of this agreement.
Therefore I now declare to all: Gore3000 is violating the agreement. Don't feed the troll!

If your conduct persists, please be advised that you "may thereafter be called a provocateur, troll, spammer, or disruptor, and doing so will not be a violation" of the agreement.

If ### is banned, it's because of something he did and for no other reason.

No, no. It was on account of illness ......... the management here apparently got sick of him disrupting every thread he didn't like, and trolling for food fights when he needed some attention, IMHO.

Absolutely. Unless I am mistaken, none of us have banning capability.

Very careful wording as usual. You did have plenty to do with his being condemned by not raising your voice against the indecency of using a private communication publicly. Further, it is the evolutionists that started the food fight on this thread, the Christians have just been defending themselves against the lies and hypocrisy of the evolutionists which has been thoroughly detailed by me in Post 2496, Post# 2541, Post# 2619 , Post# 2688, and Post# 2692 of the Phoebe Debates thread.

So neither you nor any other evolutionist or fellow traveller has any moral authority to condemn anyone. The ink was not dry on the agreement when you and your fellows used it against the specic purpose which the agreement had been founded on - to end disruption of these threads. And you and your fellows have continued in the same mode ever since.

And no one I've talked to seems to know by post, thread, and time exactly what got ### banned, anyway.

Not that I don't think a lot of other countries would be thrilled to have them, etc. etc. (Ahem! Harrumph!)

OK, I'll raise my voice. I don't see this a problem. There used to be a tacit rule on usenet against posting private email, but even there it did not apply to insulting or harassing email. I am unaware of even an informal rule on FR against posting FReepmail.

Speaking for myself, I would generally err on the side of respecting someone's confidence, but would regard myself under no obligation to do so if the email were abusive, threatening, insulting, or otherwise objectionable. And I certainly would not apply some personal unwritten rule of this sort to others.

I'm glad you clarified that, and I suppose one shouldn't post wise-cracks of that sort, even if they happen to be seriously funny.
