DaveScot uses the classic excuse "I meant to do that".

I’ve been informed that the peanut gallery (Panda’s Thumb) is accusing me of covering something up for deleting my very brief post about the Simmons/Myers debate. I made the posting a few hours before the debate and included a hotlink so people could listen to it live. I’d intended at the time of writing to remove it after the debate was over as the live link would no longer be working.

No mention of the comments that were deleted, of course.

Sure, DS, sure. It's not the post being deleted that people are being critical about. It's the comments, moron!

That must be why on the "restored" page the comments admitting PZ had the upper hand were not "restored" along with the post itself. DS, why not also restore the comments to their original form, if being perceived as honest is a concern?

There's no evidence anywhere on UD that anyone perceives them as dishonest, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. According to all the comments I can see, every single commenter at UD is perfectly happy with UD's comment moderation practices.

I commented on this, pointing out that the criticism was that the comments had been deleted, but I don't expect it to see the light of day, as my comments never get past moderation, no matter what I write.

Keep up the good work here. With potty mouthed freaks like you and lesbians trapped in a male body like LouFCD speaking against ID it makes our work a lot easier.

Has it been all downhill since then, UDudes? Huh?

WAIT!

Lou FCD is a Lesbian (according to UD)? Kristine is a Lesbian (according to Hipple)? Just how many people from Lesbania are there here? Which part of Lesbania are you all from? I hear they have really good food there. Sadly there's no Lesbian take away near me so I very rarely get to eat Lesbian, unless I go into the city. Isn't Lesbania near Israel somewhere?

Have I missed something somewhere?

Patrick explains the situation so that we all can feel better about UD.

Quote

I think they might be complaining about the comments that were deleted in the page created by Cook. I believe the accusation was that these comments were deleted because some were negative of Simmon’s performance in the debate. But I spent some time myself responding to one thing Meyers said and that was deleted as well.

So, Patrick, are you OK with that editorial decision? How about the others whose comments disappeared?

And Dave, here's a hint. If you were so worried about a link that wouldn't be live after the debate was over, why not just delete the link and replace it with a link to the mp3 after the event was over? If UD deleted a thread every time a link went dead, there would be very few threads left on the site...

Well I might as well admit it now, I too am a lesbian. I've had thing for women since I was a wee tot. It could be genetic, my father was (and still is) a lesbian.

This is fantastic - from an genius, but anonymous contributor:

Sir / Madame, I salute you, and doff my Tardcap.

I've been lurking here for about 2 years now (mucho impressed btw) and in all that time I've been seeing various images of DaveScot being posted and it's been bugging me why they look so familiar.

Just now it struck me and I could lurk no more - DaveScot, self proclaimed master of all has another hidden talent:

He's been hiding in deepest rural England, playing cricket and using the name Ian Botham.

I wonder why he's never mentioned it?

Ha! I think the lesson is that Dembski once again demonstrates that ID is perfectly able and willing to predict... after the results are in.

If he had any credibility, he would have posted about his hard-on for the G_men before they played the game.

As it stands, Dembski should get flagged for Piling On, and Gross Malfeasance.

Let's see, Darwin's had a winning record going on what, 150 years more or less? American football wasn't even evented 150 years ago.

Let me clarify, DaveScot is not worthy of licking the boots of Sir Ian Botham. I merely pointed out the similarity in appearance, the only other similarity I can discern is that Sir Ian once played for Scunthorpe and that at least 4 letters of that town's name would also describe DaveScot.

Oh, and I lived in Scunthorpe for 3 years!

DaveTard of Scunthorpe punches rot, a stench pour and a porches nut. He torches pun. Has perch snout and likes corpse hunt. Always con he spurt; often scorn he put. Often cops her nut, but doesn't cup her snot. Eats trench soup while chore punts.

That's why we like him.

I hesitate to correct you Shirley, but DaveTard has no air con in his house because it is always kept breezy and fresh by the whirring, rotating legs of desperate women begging him to let him plant his seed in them etc etc etc. Surely any woman would cry with glee to have the offspring of such a union bestowed upon them? According to DT they form queues around his house for the privilege. This is of course the real reason why Blipey wasn't allowed to visit him.

P.S. I think Carlson is coming on to me. I'm flattered of course but I don't do that sort of thing. Any more. Unless it's a Thursday. Well not EVERY Thursday you understand, and even then not only on Thursdays... oh dear!
