Another example of the man keeping the brother down, right phoo?
Alan Fox,
Is this ok in your opinion? Should I respond or just put this person on ignore?
By no means learn from it.
Oh right, you weren’t going to.
Glen Davidson
My guideline is that if that person has nothing informative to say, no really good challenges and questions to what we say, if most of what they say are just insults, if they have a tendency just to reflexively disagree and misrepresent what I say, I put them on my ignore list.
You can always try the ignore button and then undo it later. 🙂
GlenDavidson,
Learn that the adaption view is declared the only view of biology- case closed?
That origin and creation of new genetic information is completely understood-case closed.
Do you believe this Glen?
colewd,
Bill, it would be helpful if you’d include a link to the comment as it is helpful to see the context. Also, I’ve only just seen your comments above. If you want to be sure I don’t miss something, PM me.
Regarding “you’re obviously incapable of learning” – I’d say that broke the rules. As it is a few days old, it seems pointless to move it now. Regarding your other comment query, I don’t think it breaks a rule.
The ignore feature is available for anyone to use or not use as they wish.
Alan Fox,
The post was made by Rumraket less than an hour ago on biological information.
stcordova,
Thanks Sal. 🙂
Yes Bill, better put people on ignore who are in a position to tell you the facts but who might disagree with you. After all, you have luminaries like phoodoo, Frankie and Sal to tell you what you already want to hear and agree with. And what could be better than be fed nothing but agreeable material by an echo-chamber?
You want to be spoken to in another tone of voice Bill? Then stop engaging subjects you’re not equipped to handle and start paying attention when people who could spend their free time doing much more interesting things, but are willing to devote a significant portion of it here in the vain hope you just might want to learn something, rather than declare with staunch conviction what you’ve gobbled up from your tiny corner of cherrypicked sources.
Rumraket,
Adaption is evolution. Is this the type of fact you are referring to? Random mutation and natural selection along with neutral mutation and drift explain the diversity of life?
Universal common descent is a fact? Another part of the dogma you are trying to cram down my throat without real argument.
Mikkel, your command of biology is certainly superior to mine however I know when you are full of bullshit. When you continue to make bold statements without supporting your claims I have no reason to respond to you.
If you continue to break the rules by making personal attacks I will put you on ignore if Alan does not enforce the rules of the blog as he failed to do so today.
Literally dozens of posters have explained your ignorant mistakes concerning evolutionary biology to you with a lot more patience that you deserve. You arrogantly have rejected every last one and just keep on making the same false claims. Now you whine like a little baby because people are fed up with your dishonesty.
If you don’t like getting your ass handed to you on a regular basis then quite making such stupid claims after you’ve been corrected so many times. Or just leave. Take your lies and your bullshit to some nice safe YEC site where all the pro-science posters are censored. You’d love it there preaching to the choir.
I didn’t decide the rules here (though I agree(d)* with the aims) and I’m not the sole arbiter. I can elaborate regarding why I don’t think Rumraket’s comment broke a rule if you want or perhaps Neil or Patrick (or Jon even) would like to respond.
*I’m tempted to elaborate on that, too, but I don’t have time for “grumpy old man” mode, today.
That Rumraket comment did raise an eyebrow here. However, I chose to let it pass (just as I let many phoodoo eyebrow raising comments pass).
Alan Fox,
If Glen accused Sal of child molestation would that qualify for guano 🙂
Have you ever considered what a lying asshole Sal is?
Whine away, dumbfuck, your dishonesty is only slightly less than Sal’s.
Christ, you’re a puling little shit.
Glen Davidson
Probably not. Patrick’s accused him of child abuse.
More comments than UD!
Yea Right Neil. I am the rules breaker.
Trump is looking for a spin-doctor. He could use your prodigious experience. Maybe Fox can let you out of your contract.
You can fix that by leaving here and posting there. You’ve reached that level..
You mean Alan Fox, right?
Well, technically I meant Fox-Liddle Propaganda Media Corporation. Part of the Guerrilla Skeptics Network.
No, I pointed out that the behavior he admitted to constitutes child abuse.
ERV was far too kind in her assessment of Sal.
Liddell-Fox
colewd you should also know when Sal ran his own now defunct blogs (Young Cosmos, Creation Evolution University) he had the nasty habit of changing the wording of people’s posts without attribution. He’d delete salient points they made, even went as far as adding sentences making it look like his opponents agreed with him. To this day that was the most despicable and slimy thing I’ve ever seen anyone do online. Sal didn’t earn the sobriquet “the human shit stain” for nothing.
Adapa,
Creation Evolution University isn’t defunct. It’s still under construction… after almost three years.
Great progress, Sal.
More hilarity from CEU:
You think Sal is angling for the job? Hey, if Dr Dr Dr can be the Fig Newton of Information Theory why can’t Sal be King Turd of Creationist Shit Island? 🙂
We have considered what lying assholes evolutionists are.
Dear admins.
Is there a plugin available that shows the last date a comment was posted to a thread? It would be nice to be able to just scroll through the main page and see the last time a thread received a comment, or otherwise have some way to view the list of OP’s and when they were last commented upon, perhaps sorted by most recent comment date.
Thank you for your service to our great cause.
The Donald thanks you too.
The best that I can think of, is to read the comments page (accessible via the dashboard). This lists comments in reverse posting order — nearest at the top and 20 per page.
An alternative is to use an RSS reader, which you should be able to set to only show the new comments since your last check. That’s what I am using.
Yes, it was by someone who is very likely to be on your ignore list.
You should have posted that comment in moderation. And because you didn’t, I should have moved it to guano.
(Note: I think you can read guano in a private browsing window, and you should be able to see all that way, since your login to the site won’t be recognized).
IMO, if a mod moves a post to Guano they’re under no obligation to notify anyone of that fact.
I sent a thread through the system. I forget if i have to notify anyone.
Or where and so here.
Thanks.
I agree. And I occasionally do that.
However, posting a notice also serves as a reminder to other that they should watch what they post.
Yes, posting a note here is appropriate. The thread should now be available for reading and replies.
“Moved a post to guano” fails to identify who or why. Better to move the post and say nothing about it.
I disagree. Interference with the free flow of discussion, even if mandated by the rules, should be transparent.
It identifies which admin moved a post and when. As guano’d comments are not too frequent, simply glancing through the comments in guano just prior to the date and time of the admin’s comment should find it for those who wish to look.
I think it’s a simple courtesy to point out a move.
A smiley at the end of a sentence fixes everything.
Been laid low with a virus and Trumpression so not been reading or commenting.
Seems to me that the idea of a move to guano is to quarantine rule-breaking comments but allow them to be seen by anyone who wishes. I quite like the Amazon system, where comments deemed “not meeting standards” or some such are hidden but rendered visible by clicking a toggle.
Hiding a comment (leaving it in it’s original place and still visible via a click of the mouse) would have the same effect as moving to guano, I think. Ideally, this would work by reader input and voting up or down but I don’t see anything with that sophistication available for free.
Why would anyone want the moderators to operate under even more darkness? So a comment just disappears into guano, no one is told, and no one thinks to look there. So they are free to censor opinions they don’t like even more readily than now.
A bad system gets worse.
Ooh, phoodoo has a comment on Moderation Issues! [clicks eagerly]
Allan Miller,
Well, Lizzie needs her clicks.
I always look in Guano. First thing. It’s usually worth a laugh or two.
Phoodoo start your own place. Show us how it’s done?
Alan Guanoed my remarks attacking the stupidity of Glen Davidson’s comments, not Glen Davidson himself.
I request restoration of my comments. Or at least tell me how to re-phrase my comment so I can point out the tard quality of Glen’s comment. I will restate it.
Way to ignore me, fuckwit.
Anyway, my remarks were guanoed, you mindfuck.
Christ, is anything you write ever honest? You’re about on the level of Frankenjoe for rank mendacity and blind hatred.
Glen Davidson
This is an attack on Glen’s arguments, not on Glen himself:
That statement is moronic and worthy of tard award of the day since Silica (SiO2) has no carbon in it, much less Carbon-14.
There, I didn’t attack Glen personally, just the idiocy of his statements.
I leave it to the reader to decide it the reasons Glen make such ignorant remarks, but I feel under no obligation to be polite to stupid remarks like Glen’s.
LoL! Glenn you are on the lowest level there is
It was a complete lie about what I had written, you spawn of Satan.
The idiocy of your lies, you mean.
Let alone any obligation to be honest.
By the way, there still is inadequate remedy for someone who lies wholesale like Sal does. Threads that allow one to call him on his blatant dishonesty help, but they certainly do nothing to prevent that sack of stupid from shitting over the forum with numerous repetitions of his lies.
