Argument #1: Transitional Fossils

[SteelCurtain]

Hold on just one cotton pickin' minute! You guys are putting me in a no win situation here.

1. I present an argument and it is ok for everyone to quote any source they want. I use AIG and I get lambasted.

If any of us were to quote an unreliable source, we too would get lambasted. You're not special. If you want to quote sources evaluating science, you had better quote scientific ones, and not sources that start with the proposition that science cannot be correct.

2. I put down a link with info to address an issue and I get a warning.

Not involved with this process, but I would imagine it came from when you plagiarized in this post. This is an example of you outright lying, representing those ideas as your own.

3. I use quotes from Darwin and other scientists and I'm quote mining and called a liar.

You, intentionally or not, used people's words out of context. Coyne's and Schwartz's quotes in particular. You posted part of a quote, leaving out the important parts that would make the author's position clear, and most importantly different from the use you were making it out to be. This is another example of you lying.

4. I share my beliefs and I'm called a nut and a ignoramus

Welcome to atheistforums.org.

5. I make a slight joke and I get raked over the coals

When everything you post is superficial and disengaged, forgive us for not recognizing when you are joking.

6. One of your atheist buddies tears me down and they get kudos and high fives

Around here, you get kudos for an especially astute refutation, a good joke, or just a thought well put down. Kudos doesn't necessarily translate to quality of post, though. Don't read too much into it.

what gives?

What gives is that we are tired of the same old Rev. You refuse to engage, you cannot back up your assertions, you continuously post links to wholly refuted websites, you have lied to us, been completely disrespectful to us, and then you act like a martyr when we call you out on it.

Sorry, but it doesn't work the way you want it to just because. Earn it.
