Not that Junior can't fight his own fights, but where has he broken any of the posting guidelines that would get him banned? His postings are way less insultive than yours.
Again I repeat myself...banning someone is the last resort of the desperate.
What's wrong, can't take a little critisism?

Then send Jim Robinson an email message telling him you'd like him to eliminate the basic rules of FR and allow FR to become another forum like talk.origins.

That's what the abuse button is for; if you think I've insulted somebody in an unwarranted fashion, tell the moderator about it and see if he agrees with you. If he does, he'll (minimally) remove the post. Is there anything complicated about that?

As far as I know, I am basically insulting an ideological doctrine and not individuals other than for Chuck Darwin, Stephen Gould, and a handful of such public figures who can deal with it. What several of the little evo clique have done recently is not the same thing at all. They've posted what amount to vicious personal smears which are borderline for libel and which the FR moderators clearly do not want on their forum. Anybody who can't see the difference is basically blind.

American libel law does not stop at the internet. The fact that I lack the time, money, or inclination to really go after the idiots on talk.origins who keep that kind of thing around on their web site or people who post those things or links to them on other forums does not make having that kind of thing on forums a reasonable idea and the FR moderators know that.
