I am being pretty civil too.

Watch the straw men, Gem. I know you like them, but tearing them down gets tiresome.

I'm not the one strawmanning here, the one above me is pretty obvious, just as an example.
It's pretty lame imo to make your response to my honest and considered replies "you're strawmanning". It's a variance from previous attempts at completely write me down as either being dishonest or insincere, but it's getting pretty tired.

Doesn't matter what you think, if I say you're not being civil enough, you're not being civil enough. End of.

Well, sure...but it would be helpful to know how I'm being uncivil, so I can not do it, don't you think? PM me if necessary.

All this talk about ToE only being a "theory" and not fact hurts my head. NOONE would doubt nuclear theory to walk into a nuclear reactor or into a nuclear bomb test site a minute after detonation....
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

There hasn't been any need? We closed it down once, and when we opened it again things went mostly smoothly, and there is nothing to say that someone might not desire to start a new (heh, 'new') discussion in the future that is perfectly civil and interesting. Hell, most of the veterans don't even post on the board any more all that much, so old grudges are less likely to come into it. *shrug*

I'm not even a mod and yet I groaned when I saw this thread resurfacing.

Alright, I'll lock the thread. :D

This one is certainly outdated and prone to flame wars, trolling, and chronic passive-agressiveness. :p


Otoh, re-reading that "Inherent Good vs Inherent Evil" thread, in which I probably made my most continuous logical, civil, wordy, detailed series of replies ever, was really nice. O.o I can't believe that just a year ago (bit more than, but whatever) I was having such a nice debate here...totally forgotten. Good stuff Dolmen, noothergods32! ;)
