That may be, except for the fact that I had not, and I am assuming we are talking about jplegacy here, done anything else. Aside from that thread, my only discussions had been surrounding cannon and speculation about the new movie, with no warnings being issued at any points, so I highly doubt other causes. As for the dinotoyforum, yes, there obviously was more than just that, but I do not see how it in any way "Pushed it", as the admin said. I was asking for it to be closed, specifically because the purpose of the thread, at least the one given by me upon making it, did not align with the forum. How that is in any way an offence, I do not know. |

What annoys me so much is being shut up online. Something goes wrong, someone does a wrong thing, so you're banned/blocked immediately, without even a chance to justify yourself. I just got dumped from a long distance relationship (Think of me what you will, I quite frankly don't care), and in all honesty if it made her happier I'm glad for her, but now she has left the impression on all of her friends, and is telling herself that I was a bad influence, when she was seeing someone else. Anyways, backstory aside (I don't want any compassion or attention, just want to put it somewhere and that's what this topic is for), she has now blocked my account on twitter, skype and snapchat, in the middle of our conversation. I just wish I could tell her the things I wanted to tell her, and then just leave, but she didn't allow me and that's what's killing me. Tl;Dr: Always let people justify themselves before regarding their opinion as irrelevant, and forcefully shutting them up. |

Now replace YEC's or 'Creationists' and say these all about Atheists and see how you feel about the subject. I hate it when people act so superior and say 'Oh I should be able to mock, insult and degrade -insert other group here- because I'm right and they're wrong, they deserve it for being -insert group here-' Regardless of who does it it's just horrible. --- Also unrelated, you know what annoys me, not being able to get the cookie I deserve. Nomis I'm looking at you, I want that cookie |

Here is the thing, and it is the fact that makes you(as in, me) seem incredibly, incredibly, arrogant at first glance, but is also vital to this whole thing: The reason I slag of YEC's, and not climate scientists, or geologists, or astronomers, or any other form of legitimate scientists, is that YEC's are always, without fail, wrong. I am not simply asserting that I am better, on a personal level, I have no clue, I am not here to judge the content of anybodies character, just their actions and beliefs. Stating that a YEC is wrong, is not arrogant, and saying that a person who believes that all of science is wrong, that the bible is the literal word of god, and that women have no right, gays should be stoned, and little kids slaughtered, is wrong, is not arrogant, it is sanity. I am not personally necessarily a better person in any way, but I am, in this regard, right. So yes, I think, or rather, I know, while they do not, that I am correct, and they are not. It is not a matter of opinion, but rather, of science. I also do not go after YEC's to troll them, or for any other such malicious intent, I genuinely am worried about the harm that they may cause society. You may disagree with that last bit, and I will admit, that is highly debatable, so I will not try to pass it off as certainty, but do know that while we can be sure that some YEC's say things they know are wrong just because it earns them a ton of money, I only say this because I worry for both the YEC's themselves, and the people they affect. Oh, and if a mod wants to warn me for that for some reason, do say why. I only listed things that the bible does say, and people do identify as bible literalists, hell, that is what most YEC's say they are, so I do not see how it is offensive. As usual, my caveat is that if my descriptions do not match you, I am not talking about you, so if you are a creationist who does not believe that all of science is an evil lie created by the devil, don't be offended, I have no quarrel with you.

you guys are forgetting one thing about tris situation on JPL, context if the context is a paleontological debate, than its perfectly acceptable to not accept YEC beliefs because they contradict the context entirely, in a paleontological context evidence is what matters, fossils, cladistics, etc. and not "belief", you can not argue paleontology based on religious beliefs, and so in context its completely reasonable to not be willing to tolerate them being used on the subject but that has nothing to do with the incident at DTF anyway, what happened there was that the admin thought tris was "back-talking" him (he hadn't meant to) the guy we were arguing with on DTF was/is a complete moron anyway, and keeps hating on every single accurate reconstruction he finds and he seems to think Jurassic Park is the all knowing accuracy point paleontology should be based on, considering everyone except the one guy is actually educated about paleontology, the fact he continues to defy reason is incredibly annoying and frankly we've tried dealing with him more politely (many times) in the past but he continues refusing to accept the evidence we show him |

Then ignore him..... if he doesn't want to accept what you believe to be the truth, is it really necessary to target him like tris did? Granted, I have never seen, as you put it Star, the "context" of the situation and so I have no idea if he was acting aggressively towards you as well. But come on, if the only reason he's annoying to you is because he doesn't accept your argument, be the bigger person and just ignore him. Yeah it might be hard for you to do, but had tris done this, he would probably not have been banned. |

tris was banned for the way he responded to the admin we have tried, but every time he sees a dinosaur that isn't shrink wrapped he flips out saying its to fat and its inaccurate, and attacks people who support accurate reconstructions its pretty black and white debate really, we have 100% evidence, he has devotion to some outdated opinions, hes wrong and its that simple, but when we show him proper source material he just says its wrong and gives no evidence to back up any of his when you go so far as to make your opinions into claims, you should be prepared to back them up with real evidence, of which he lacked any Edited by stargatedalek, Aug 15 2014, 03:41 PM.

I still stand by saying that if I had been banned for my previous post before the last one, I would have understood, if still felt rather miffed. The thing that so confused me was that the actual post he did ban me for was basically me agreeing with him. I asked for the thread closed because its entire purpose was to rant at one specific individual, and that did not fit in with the forum, so, in realizing that, and how it could not possibly lead anywhere well, and that more people could get banned, I asked for its closure. |

The thing about this guy, is that he did not seem to be a fanboy. He was clearly against feathered dinosaurs, yet he also somewhat believed in him. He did not specifically herald JP as the bestest thing ever, he just occasionally mentioned it and seemed to think they were accurate. It was very odd. |
