You have made several accusations in your post 2455. One is that the thread displays "obvious attack against Christians." Please support that accusation. You say:
It seems to me like it muzzles the creationist and gives the evolutionist free reign to insult, name call and taunt until the creationist no longer wants to take the time to post anything.
Please support those accusations.

You insult the education of the evolutionists when you say: "I wonder how many evolutionists on this thread are even out of college at this time." As you undoubtedly know, among the evolutionists are physicists, biologists, geologists, astronomers, etc. Your post is an obviously insulting provocation.

You further engage in provocation by saying: "Back to Arica2000. My calling her a crybaby ..." It was typical of a former freeper, ALS, that he would "insult" posters by calling them girls. You are engaging in the same kind of schoolyard, provocative behavior.

You further insult by saying:

We already know that the ACLU, NEA and other organizations are liberals and we also know what their agenda is. That they want to destroy God In America.
You are thereby saying that the evolution side are liberals and atheists. You cannot support those statements.

Under the agreeement, with which you are already familiar, if we (the complying posters) observe a poster causing a problem on a thread, we are obligated under the agreement to first politely ask that the poster come into compliance using words such as the following:

Hey concisetraveler, that post of yours (2455) was a bit provocative. Under our agreement, the actions of provocateurs, trolls, spammers, and disruptors are prohibited, as is the use of obscene or belittling words to describe another poster or his beliefs. I understand that you're momentarily swept up in the debate, but please restrain yourself.

If the non-complying poster (whether the poster has signed the agreement or not) continues to provoke, troll, spam or disrupt then warnings will be posted to others on the threads, to avoid posting to non-complying poster (or a specific non-complying poster) since it could lead to flame wars, etc.

If the conduct continues, any of the otherwise complying posters may engage the non-complying posting with harsh language otherwise prohibited by the agreement.

This is your "polite warning" which the agreement requires. Please conduct yourself in a manner which complies with the agreement.

AndrewC, I do not know a single poster who wishes you were not here and thus I can see no motive for anyone wanting you to leave.

concisetraveler, we invite you to join us in the Agreement of the Willing on Science Threads. There is understandable concern at this point-in-time regarding previously banned posters returning to post under false IDs. This concern is based on past history and remarks made by f.Christian on this thread: post 505 and post 540 “oops --- resurrection - trouble ahead - coming !” Following those posts is a discussion of past incidents of false identity postings.

At the moment however, referring to other posters as “crybaby” and calling them girls and using the “PMS” remark will be taken as a provocation and thus I also recommend to all complying posters who wish to avoid flame wars, please either ignore the provocation or the poster.
