Robert Byers,
Robert,
When Patrick says its intentional abuse He knows a thing or two (or three yo) about intentional abuse!
Is there anyone on this site who knows more about intentional abuse than Patrick? I mean he has probably informed all of the schools in his area about child abuse. Probably his neighbors too!
Patrick not only knows intentional abuse, he practices what he preaches. And practices, and practices. Carnivals, ChuckECheese,… look where he practices is not important. The pointy is, animal balloons don’t make themselves, but if you can get some animals and some balloons (and maybe some Nutella), Patrick is here to tell you, he won’t just tell you what is child abuse, he will put on a one man (or two soon to be men) stage show complete with hand signs for the hearing impaired (do you think he is prejudiced), and evil goblins that will scare your knickers off.
So don’t you dare question Patrick’s experience with child abuse. He is the Pied Piper in green leotards, with the velcro openings, of child abuse, ok?
dazz,
Is it worse than the Pied Piper teaching them?
LoL! Water turns into ice and ice turns into water. They have different matrix and different surface tensions.. They are not the same. By your “logic” we can say water is made from ice
That is a lie as that never happened
That is a retarded statement. The genetic code is arbitrary in that it is not reducible to mere physics and chemistry. So again yours is a retarded statement
This post is against the rules, according to Patrick’s new rules.
Sorry Mung, I just want to inform you, Patrick has rewritten the rules. Your post is addressing Sal, this is now against the rules, according to Patrick.
You will need to adjust going forward. So will Patrick, as he always addresses the poster.
Sorry Adapa, this is now against the rules (actually your posts breaks several rules, some that already existed).
Patrick says all posts must now address only the post, so your is clearly in violation. Just wanted to help you out.
Walto, please understand, your post is in violation of Patrick’s new rule, which says all posts must only address other posts, and not the person posting them.
In this post, you appear to be talking about Sal, so that would of course be against Patricks new rule, which he sometimes applies.
Just wanted to let you know. I am addressing your post, not you.
Are you asking about Sal? That is not addressing the post, I am afraid. His beliefs are irrelevant.
You must address his post, not him.
Again, I am talking about your post here.
Again, please see Patrick’s new rule in moderation.
Thanks.
Since when has Mung needed an excuse to behave like a horse’s ass?
LoL! Evos do not exhibit “good faith”
Dr. Moron,
When are you going to explain to Mung why your very first question is asking about a “non-photosynthetic chemoautotrophs” when all chemoautotrophs are by definition not using photosynthesis?
Its like saying, how many non-arthropod giraffe species are native to Africa. Wait, its even more Moronic than that, its like asking how many organic non-arthropod ungulate type giraffe species are native to Africa?
You are a teacher, right Mr. Moron?
Calling someone an IDiot is Ok though right Patrick? Fat is also Ok right? Chubs? Portly?
Please let me know which names we are allowed to call people here Patrick. Because I think you are a child abuser.
I guess I could have just called Moran a Fat Idiot, then Patrick would have had to be even more of a hypocrite to move my post, since it has been established that we are allowed to call people that here. Also child abuser is ok. So Moran is a Fat Idiot Child Abuser, just like Patrick. All of those are within the rules, right?
You know when you, creos, use terms like gospel, or religious in a derogatory sense to mock evolution, we can only point at laugh at you, right? Do you realise that exposes your pathetic inferiority complex?
Remember when Alan removed Frankies post because he claimed it was insulting to evolutionists?
Yea, me too.
He will probably forget though.
If it bothers you quit doing it, if it doesn’t quit whining about it.
Butthurt much?
Or just play by Patrick’s rules? You know, Fat Patrick, the Idiot child abuser?
Lizzie had intentions for this blog, Alan. Perhaps you should read about those for ten first time. Just click on “about this site” and “Rules”. It’s all there and you and yours don’t follow what she had in mind
The post you moved didn’t have anything to do with moderation

No, an observation of lying by omission.
Your history is your undoing, again. You know the scientific consensus, and how strongly it is supported by the evidence, because you’ve have the opportunity to have your nonsense addressed by numerous experts over the years. You avoid presenting that consensus and evidence because it solidly refutes your ridiculous YEC beliefs.
You’re not a good person.
Take a look at dazz’s ignorant spewage:
And now we know that dazz is not only ignorant but also a coward
Totally clueless. Thank you for admitting that you fibbed. CSI and UPB are ONE method and not the only methodology ID has. The explanatory filter is standard operating procedure used by anyone who is investigating root causes.
AhmedKiaan,
Ahmed, once an idiot, always an idiot.
Finally Richie has given up on trying to pretend to be honest. (Kind of strange there is a blog post here titled How to Test Intelligent Design )
Blame your empty-headed rhetoric. I bet you do that self-satisfied head-wobble every time you post
So Richie can’t actually formulate an argument? No surprise there. Richie cannot do what it asks of others? No surprise there.
All Richie can do is spew false accusations. Again, no surprise there.
Mung,
Both walto and KN have stated that they can’t refute it. If you think that you — of all people — actually know of a refutation, then let’s hear it.
Here’s what I wrote, doofus:
You don’t even see the difference, do you?
FrankenJoe is still hung up trying to explain how blind and mindless gravity, blind and mindless erosion, blind and mindless plate tectonics all work. It got his tiny little toaster repairman brain all confusimicated. 😀
newton, I don’t think that I am winning. There isn’t any doubt about it. Robin is frantically trying to define its way out of having to test the claims of evolution by means of blind and mindless processes. That alone proves you guys aren’t interested in science, which requires that the claims be testable and tested.
You people have to be the biggest intellectual cowards ever
No, but I am sure that you do
Dear Jesus,
You must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel when you accepted Mung as a follower. I know you’re all about loving “the least among you”, but even you must have a lower limit.
If you’re having second thoughts and would like to offload Mung, I hear that the Scientologists are short of members these days. Don’t worry about the believability issue — Mung will swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
Sincerely,
KeithS
Mung,
Keep in mind that by all indications, Patrick is far more intelligent than you are, and capable of grasping the fact that the logical problem of evil is just a limiting case of the evidential problem.
If someone actually produced a good rationale for a benevolent God’s tolerance of evil and suffering — say, if Vincent’s “promise defense” had actually worked — then I’m confident that Patrick could see the implications and take that into account.
With you it’s the opposite. I have to spell everything out for you, including the obvious, and even then you don’t get it because your reading comprehension is so poor (see the preceding comment).
The second pointlessly guanoed comment can be found here.
Alan,
Stop inventing your own rules and stick to Lizzie’s.
I shouldn’t need to remind a moderator, of all people, that there is no rule against linking to guanoed comments.
There is also no rule requiring complaints to be lodged in the Moderation Issues thread. And even if there were such a rule, it would be idiotic to guano a comment based on the single word ‘pointlessly’, as you have done.
Back off, Alan.
Here is a link to the second comment guanoed by Neil.
Alan,
Stop abusing your moderator privileges. You are bound by the rules, just like the other moderators.
Here is a link to the comment that Alan just guanoed, and another to the earlier comment that was guanoed by Neil.
KN,
Your tendentious use of “artificial”, “not genuine”, and “idle” is noted. However, these are real doubts that you have been unable to refute, logically or otherwise.
To ask the question “What can we know, and how?” is extremely important philosophically. Your unease regarding the answer is no reason to lie to yourself about the importance of the question.
And with that unnecessarily personal remark, I’m putting keiths on ignore from now on.
I’ll be sure to quote him if he says anything interesting. But it could be awhile.
As if Mung, of all people, would be in a position to judge.
This is the third time that KN has flounced from a discussion of Cartesian skepticism. Apart from a short-term self-righteous glow, what does it gain him?
Here’s some advice I gave him after the second flounce:
KN,
While you’re off in Flounceland, please take some time to ponder why you get so emotional and irrational about Cartesian skepticism. Why, for instance, did you write that Cartesian skepticism is “existentially devastating and utterly nihilistic with regard to all thought, meaning, and value”, when that is obviously false?
Could we have less of “KN as drama queen” and more of “KN as philosopher”, please?
Mung,
It’s too late for you to walk back the lie, and lying about the lie just makes things all the worse for you.
Don’t lie next time. If doing the right thing isn’t motivation enough, then remind yourself of this episode and how crappy you felt when you got caught.
Mung,
Now look at the rest of that sentence:
And the next sentence:
Intelligent folks can see what Durston is getting at. Why can’t you?
keiths:
I agree with you entirely, up to this point:
Please don’t do that here.
Mung: Please do not go tit-for-tat.
Mung,
Read this again.
You wrote a program. It failed because it ran out of memory. You gave up at that point.
Afterwards, you got caught lying about the fact that the program ran out of memory.
Dazz and I diagnosed the problem, and I fixed your program for you. Now it works.
End of story. Time to move on with your life.
Mung,
If you want respect, you’ll have to earn it like everyone else.
Want to be seen as honest? Then be honest.
When you get caught lying, and then lie about lying, and then lie about getting caught lying, you aren’t doing yourself any favors.
Want to be seen as a competent programmer? Then learn to be a competent programmer.
You’ve learned some languages and some tools, which is good. But that doesn’t make you a competent programmer, any more than knowing English and how to type makes you a competent novelist.
You gave up when your program failed due to running out of memory. Good programmers know how to debug and fix problems. Dazz and I had to do it for you.
And again, lying about all of this isn’t doing your tattered reputation any good.
Crave respect? Then be worthy of it for a change.
walto,
Why is dishonesty your tactic of first resort? Couldn’t you at least try to act like a genuine philosopher, for once?
I understand that you regret your earlier position, which you now regard as weird and ridiculous. That’s fine; you’re free to change it. Don’t pretend that you didn’t hold it, however.
You know perfectly well what I said:
Again, why immediately resort to dishonesty? Don’t you see how it backfires on you?
My questions stand:
