If I were to spam these threads like you spam these threads, why would I have to "claim innocence"? Are you admitting that the kind of spamming you do here is wrong?
Are you admitting to using more than one identity on this forum?
I mean, I never felt I needed more than one voice on any one forum myself.
Basically, I figure I've done a fairly good job of condensing a number of fairly unanswerable arguments against evolution into a fairly short and readable package and I figure I'm doing a kind of community service in posting it around enough that anybody reading one of these threads for the first time has a good chance of seeing it. That gets these arguments out into the public arena and public hands and I'm convince that THAT, and not having to spend an extra third of a second scrolling once in a while is the reason I see the continual crybaby act from you and a halfdozen others.
Tell you what: If you think I'm committing some kind of abuse here, all you need to do is hit the abuse button and, if the FR moderator(s) tell me to stop it, I'll stop it with a smile on my face. But don't expect me to stop it on your orders.
Done:
Oh Most Benevolent & Merciful Moderator, We need some guidance here. As you can see, in the last 8 days medved has spammed these threads with identical copies of his two big essays, "God hates IDIOTS, too!" and "Some useful references". A couple times he's even spammed them twice in one day.
Several of us have asked medved to post his essays as a vanity post once and for all, and then he can link back to them whenever he wants to advertise his masterpieces. But he shrugs off our requests and keeps on spamming. (See this thread for a sample of people's frustration & his attitude.)
So the question is: Is the kind of spamming medved does consistent with the FR posting guidelines? If not, could you please tell him to cool it with the spam? (Nobody wants medved banned - we think he just needs some counseling on FR etiquette.)

A request is not an order. Nobody is ordering you to do anything, we simply want you to exhibit a little consideration for the rest of us. By creating your own thread and linking to it, you are not "giving in" you are simply showing that you are an adult with a modicum of empathy for the rest of the folks on these threads.
