What annoys you about paleontology?; Rant on about moronic theories, complaints, or just animals that annoy you.

Ah, good point. I certainly agree with your statement when it comes to extremist YECs and other people of the like. As long as they keep their ignorance away from society and keep it to themselves, I think they are alright... in other words, I'm with Bill Nye on this one.

Plus, on an unrelated note, the final most irritating thing relating to paleontology:
Esther's ridiculous rant
A rant that's almost as ridiculous, of course by the same person.

Really? Complaining that science ruins everything?! You're adults, not five year olds! "Wah, stupid science, ruining my hopes and dreams. Stupid feathered dinosaurs, they're stupid pieces of crap who look like chickeeeeeeeeeeens!"

I don't like people who complain about nature. Also, these people sound like they don't exactly know what they are doing at all.

"Dinosaurs have to be Scary, thats the whole point of them, why else where they Created"

Excuse me, but i need to find a Base 14 Liquid and drink a gallon of it.

I honestly think that feathered & quilled dinosaurs look pretty sick compared to the old scaly ones. But that's just my opinion.

I assume by sick you mean the good one right? Anyway that might have been one of the most ridiculous things I have read/heard since Big Al was here. I mean really science doesn't do things just because you think it looks cooler or more awesome. Give me break. >_<
I wish a Yutyrannus would gobble both of them up.

Should we really be saying these things about Tris? We should probably wait until his account is banned before we insult him.
It is difficult to be banned when you are no longer posting anything.


What I will say is that several of you have violated the following rules in your comments:

"Flaming || Flaming is not allowed anywhere on the board. If you are angry at someone, PM them and discuss it respectfully. Refrain from arguing to prevent the possibility of a flame war. If you are "false flaming", make sure that it is clear and that it is not taken offensively. Even if you mean it as a joke, it may be hurtful."

"Respect || Refrain from negativity or rudeness towards any other member. Do not use offensive language or images. If a post contains language that could be taken offensively, please hide it in a spoiler with a warning. Disrespectful behaviour may result in a warning. If you have a problem with any member, please discuss it with the staff in the Staff PM Box or keep it to yourself."



So let us not throw up double standards by insulting others for being rude and annoying, while simultaneously breaking several rules in doing so.

I'm not usually looking in these topics because I'm not a paleontology fan myself, but if this is how you're going to conduct yourselves, I'll monitor you like children.

Even if you don't agree with someone, it doesn't give you a right to openly insult them, banned or not. I won't toss out any warnings since other staff were apparently here and didn't and "let it slide" but should this happen again, you've had your verbal warning.

I'm agreed insulting tris was uncalled for, but did you have to be so demeaning about it?

Considering the fact that this section more than any other on the board has conflicts that lead to rule breaking?

I'm annoyed when people say "dumb as a dodo." The dodo had no choice and adapted to living without predators.

I am not going to sit here and play tit-for-tat with you. Neither am I going to waste my personal time doing so, you can go back to the topic at hand. Without flaming other members or other people's beliefs (it's fine to mention your annoyance with creationists or their actions, it isn't appropriate however to call them all sorts of names).

What annoys me about paleontology? It evolving into this. Seriously stargate, that reply was uncalled for, and certain members had no right to talk behind trisdino's back like that.

Man sometimes I think it'd be beautiful if we could all just get along.
