Daystar's ban - Discussion

[Tiberius]

The ban must stay for using multiple identities on this forum, not for the content of his discussion and certainly not for his refusal to accept your reasoning.

I urge you to rethink your policy on banning and to base it solely on complying to behavioural etiquette (personal attack beyond what's accepted informally here, and taking on multiple identities) and to avoid the suspicion that the content of arguments or disagreement about conclusions itself might be relevant for the right to participate in debate.

I thought I'd told you before that this isn't our policy at all; you misunderstood my explanation. A person can disagree with our points as much as they want, but if they start repeating arguments that have been refuted (in scientific debates) in an annoying fashion then we will warn and ban them.

This policy is only going to be used when a member keeps on insisting there is "no evidence" for evolution, or some other completely unfounded claim, despite being told multiple times that there is, given the evidence required, etc. Otherwise, any debate is simply going to go sour very quickly. There is no point debating people who do not want to debate. In other words, if you get on the nerves of forum members because you consistently ignore debate points and always thrust your own view without consideration for the counter-points, you will get warned and banned.
