AHH, AHH, AHH!!!
goodseedhomeschool did that all by her lonesome.
She got Pissed off, sent a note to Jimrob telling him to cancel her donation to the site, and that she would not support a liberal website like this one.
She did that all on her own, all by herself.
She TOLD him to cancel her account.
Don't go blaming us for something she did ALL on her own.
She CHOSE to do that, we did NOT get her banned, nor wanted to, I had some VERY NICE conversations with her, and believe it or not, I miss her a bit.
Yes, she was a creationist, and yes, we disagreed on some issues, but we had some very nice and very civil conversations, Bondserv can attest to that, considering he was in on a lot of them.
Sorry, saw that post and HAD to respond.
Again, good night.

(If the history of science shows us anything, it is that we get nowhere by labeling our ignorance god)

I personall saw the thread where goodseedhomeschool got herself banned. It had nothing to do with evolution. She was complaining to JR himself that FR was (not a quote, but close enough) RINO site. Poof! End of goodseedhomeschool.

Nice facts! Notice how little facts mean against the propaganda requirements of those whose science is all "Twist and Shout." Supposedly, you
dreamed this about GSHS. Well, I dreamed it, too. Here's my dream tally of the bannings I can remember. (Remember dreaming?)
Creo:
- medved -- Perhaps the only creationist ever certifiably for sure banned for his actions on crevo threads.
- goodseedhomeschool -- Appalled at FR's liberalism; resigned on a non-crevo thread.
- PegTheProphet -- IIRC, banned on a political thread.
- RickyJ -- Ditto.
- God'sTraveler -- Specifics of banning unknown. Got away with plenty on crevo threads but some of his ravings may have been considered impious by the powers that be.
- ALS -- Specifics of banning thus far unknown. The PTB at FR had already demonstrated considerable indifference to the complaints of evos regarding his spamming and flame-trolling. He seemed to have ridden out that storm weeks if not months earlier.
Evo:
- EsotericLucidity: -- returning bannee. Anti-semite, pro-Palestinian. Not a crevo-thread-related banning although there was much confusion on this point at the time.
Perhaps my memory is too selective, but it looks like there's some basis to the idea that creos get banned more than do evos. However, with one glaring and historically famous exception they don't get banned for acting up on the crevo threads. In fact, Jim Rob's contention that he prefers to ignore the crevo threads would seem to be borne out.
In keeping with the Agreement of the Willing, I will refrain from speculating on factors which might lead to more creos than evos acting up outside the context of crevo thread postings. Indeed, it might be no more than a rather startling statistical aberration.

It's sad that some view science as liberal. I consider it very conservative myself. In order for a scientific viewpoint survive the test of time, it comes under massive scrutiny. I doubt that there has been any theory that has come under more peer review than the theory of evolution.
