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.
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.

Jedigirl got dropped for non-crevo issues too. Someone proposed bringing back medved - I'd almost be willing to make that trade if we could bring JG back as well.

Most of the evos generally don't tend to post a whole lot outside of the science threads, so if (1) JimRob leaves the crevo threads alone generally, and (2) more creationists than evolutionists post outside of science threads, then it would be expected that more creationists would be banned.
Medved also came back under false identity multiple times. And there seems to be a recurring D.U. plant who occassionally registers & posts as a YEC (and he gets banned soon after).

Here's my dream tally of the bannings I can remember. (Remember dreaming?)What exactly is this for? It looks like baiting to me.

Dont forget JediGirl. Banned from an abortion thread I believe.

An evo for sure, but I think she got banned for her aggressively atheist posts in some religion threads. I'm not really sure.

Don't forget jedigirl, though she was banned for a posting on a non-crevo thread.
