Some posts have been deleted as well.  Did anyone capture them?  I ought to have as I was actually MaxEntropy (A little reference to the Maximum Entropy Production Principal) but I didn't save any of the stuff I wrote..

Hmm, I didn't last nearly as long that time.

This interchange between ribcynski and Dave on the Olofsson thread is classic UD. It starts when Dave sez "yer wrong!":

True, and the results did not contradict NDE.

Rib even agrees with Dave at this point, but Dave, being the pompous prick he is, has to bluster, and in doing so contradicts himself:

Of course not. How can an outcome contradict NDE when NDE predicts all outcomes? NDE predicts major evolutionary changes happen except for when they don’t happen. I guess you didn’t get the subtle point that NDE made no prediction at all - a theory that predicts everything predicts nothing.

Then rib calls Dave's bluff, and politely but decisively shoots him down:

A contingent science cannot make predictions in every instance. And by the way, that applies to ID (which is contingent on the idiosyncrasies of an unknown designer) as well as every other theory. Even the “Theory of Everything” being sought by physicists won’t predict the weather on August 13, 2045.

As for NDE predicting “everything”, that is obviously false.

NDE does not predict that rabbit fossils will be found in Precambrian strata, to use Haldane’s classic example.

NDE does not predict that sheep are more closely related to paramecia than they are to goats.

NDE does not predict that the Cubs will win the Series this year.

I could go on.

Davey don't like being shown that he's wrong. Now he's pissed, and thinking "Clearly we can't have someone this articulate posting here.  What to do, what to do? I know! Quick, change the argument":

NDE doesn’t predict when or if significant changes will happen. Since you cannot seem to acknowledge that simple fact you need to move along. Don’t post any more in this thread. Other authors here may continue to entertain your obstinance but I will not.

When it's clear that you are outclassed, silence the opposition by any means, even if it requires trumped-up charges.  In this case, insubordination by rib for failing to acknowledge Dave's ridiculous bluster provides a thin excuse.   Probably Dave wanted outright bannination, but that would clearly violate the "new moderation policy", and since poor Dave lost his position as Czar, this was the best he could do. I'm sure everone at UD are just itching to find a reason to ban ribcynski, but so far he's been able to dance close to the edge. It won't last. I predict within a week, they'll find some paltry excuse to give him/her the boot.  I'm rootin' for ya, rib!
It's the entertainment value of exchanges like this that are leading me into incurable tardaholism.  I'm an addict, and I can't stop myself.

FYI, I have been unbanned at UD, to the extent that I can log in and get a comment box. I haven't seen any of my comments show up yet.

No sockpuppetry involved, I just asked politely.

For those of you scoring at home, congratulations!

Neither Mike nor Mark seem to understand the point of the post. The post is not about the nature of consciousness. It is about the hypocrisy of trying to have it both ways — saying it means nothing and that it means everthing at the same time. Mike and Mark should move along. Those of you capable of grasping the basic point of the post should feel free to post comments.

“I didn’t ask for an apology. I asked for a single standard to be applied to ID supporters and critics alike at UD.”

I am applying that standard, and we may need to get something straight first, the standard is not whether one asks for an apology, it is whether someone is decent enough to give it. You aren’t. I am. That’s a double standard, even by your estimation, and I won’t allow it. Either you realize that you don’t have autonomy to treat UD folks however vile and disrespectfully you want on that other site and expect for us to grant you privileges on this site–That’s a double standard too–or you will no longer post here. I don’t need any suggestions from you. Either you apologize for your insults, or you will be gone. Understand?

Was google chatting with the girlfriend a few minutes ago:

me: what do you think of this sweater?


her: that's horrible.
#1 it looks like an old man's sweater
#2, it's a sack on him

steve:
lol
the guy wearing it is named William Dembski. He's the big head honcho of "Intelligent Design". The biology website I help moderate has made fun of him for years. And for 3 years now, we can't get over that sweater.
Like i'm actually trying to track down where it was made and order like a dozen of them just because they're so awful.

Meredith:
aaack no!
one of them in the world is too many!

steve:
it's a perverse thing. it's like it's so bad it's good

Meredith:
no no. it's so bad it's bad.
i know there's a fine line there, and all, but it crossed it
or hasn't crossed it
one of the two

“Dembski’s latest pile of tard” you say?

I expect an apology, not to me, but to Dr. Dembski, or you will be “banninated,” as ya’ll like to say :). And I don’t mind the bannination button for folks so blatantly disrespectful. And all the rest of you sock-puppets that expect privileges of commenting here with anonymity, all the while being vile on another thread, if your cover is blown and you don’t appropriately apologize, you’ll be gone too. So you’ll have to keep the bragging down and not blow your cover too soon if you want to comment here.

I'll apologize for him. WAD: he meant "horseshit." Sorry about that.

You have my word that--although I think it's a bit draconian to ban someone for what they say off-site--I  *shall* apologize to Dr. Dembski when an apology is forthcoming from "BaylorBear", who posted on this website an objectionable cartoon depicting a "humourous" threat to the safety of people who accept evolution.

Incidentally, since there have been two topics on UD specifically directed as replies to my comments you would think I would be somewhat welcome here as I've at least given you something to talk about.

YellowShark,

This is your last chance. Whatever BaylorBear said is irrelevant between you and Dr. Dembski. I won’t argue anymore with you, no more rabbit trails, either you apologize, or you don’t, and if you don’t, you won’t see anymore of your comments here.

At least he isn't spouting Lewis and Chesterton at the moment.  Maybe we can permanently distract him by supplying a continuous stream of puppets for him to ban.

What you really need to do is start dropping hints here that you're also posting as Kairosfocus, Batshit 77, angryoldfatman, Joe Gallien, etc.

You'll have UD banninated clean empty in a week!   :D  :D  :D

You laugh, but that actually would happen. Most of the UD regulars at this point are long-term sock-puppets, who don't give away the game. When people joke about 'we're the only people who read that site', I only half-laugh, because we really are. If the UD mods were aware how many of their long-standing commenters were us, they'd lose it. Talking to people behind the scenes, I'd say about 75% of the regular UDers are actually us, just acting retarded.

It's actually a problem, because while I want to laugh at that site, I know three quarters of the time it's one of our guys just trying to act like a dim bulb--and usually getting away with it.

I get the feeling that Tribune7 may be "one of us".  
:D
