Quote (The whole truth @ Feb. 09 2012,02:17)
The reason I brought up importance is partly due to some comments by you and others and partly due to this question from Erasmus:

"who gives a fuck what they think?"

I think it's fair to say that most or all people here (at ATBC) care about what's said at UD (and elsewhere) by the IDiots (and by their opponents). Otherwise they likely wouldn't be here, or at least wouldn't stick around for long. The level of importance from one person to another undoubtedly varies, but I don't think that anyone here can honestly say that what the IDiots do or say (or "think") is completely unimportant.

I realize that we all have our own way of dealing with things, and I'm not trying to 'make' any ID opponents change their methods. I'm just speaking up about something that bugs me and hoping to influence EL to consider some things. I do feel strongly about it but I know that she can, and will, ultimately do whatever she wants.

To prevent any misunderstanding, by "this site" I meant ATBC.

I agree for the most part, though I could quibble with you about your choice of the word "important". I certainly don't find what goes on at UD important in a strict sense of the term:

 
Quote
Adjective:

   1. Of great significance or value; likely to have a profound effect on success, survival, or well-being: "important habitats for wildlife".
  2.  (of a person) Having high rank or status.


For me, UD is more compelling than important. The discussions and behavior there are indicative of a mindset that I find a little shocking, a little frightening at times, and unbelievable, but also fascinating. I'll engage in discussions there every so often just to see how they defend what I see as an obviously ignorant and erroneous claim.

Still, I agree with you in principle - a lot of us would not come to AtBC if not for UD, so clearly most of us care about UD...at least in the sense that we care enough about what they say and how they behave to gather and comment on it.

I am still curious though - what do you think one of the UD folks "pouncing" on a weak Lizzie would look like? What do you think would happen that would be significant in some way?

Robin, I just want to let you know that I'll respond late tonight. I was in the middle of a response when my power went out, and I should think more about it anyway.

--------------
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. - Jesus in Matthew 10:34

it was on the BW during the feminazi war, maybe not so much a flounce but a "screw you guys i am going home".  i think after someone compared him to KF for typing too much or something.  a pity, i would read it even if i disagreed simply because that fella really knew how to swear

Things that might get Lous to post again:

5 - invidious comparison of rugby and (American) football
4 - lolcat involving a Welsh goat in estrus
3 - lolcat involving Lous' Mum and Tarden Chatterbox
2 - revival of Mornington Crescent thread
1 - bonafide FtK posting

I realize that 4 and 3 overlap significantly.

I"ll try a #5.

Hey Lewis, American football players don't eat their dead.*  Nyah, nyah, nyah!


*Except for maybe the Chicago bears and only pre 1952.

Sorry, can't help you with the Welsh goats.

Well, champignon has been silently banned.

KF, you are a pious fraud and a liar:
Quote
That such feel it necessary to conceal their might and manipulation makes might views shows that they realise — deep down — that they are morally abnormal, or even warped, even monstrous.

LOL.

You have no evidence whatsoever that any of us who have been criticizing the Old Testament God for his genocidal tendencies secretly believe that “might and manipulation make right”.

Another false accusation for you to retract.

Ironically, in the comment I was trying to post when I discovered my bannination, I defended the right of KF and JoeG to make stupid and baseless allegations, and my own right to respond to them.

For shame! Many good posts under the mushroom banner. Anyone would think they didn't welcome critical examination of their scientific position...

I did wonder if you were sailing a tad close to the wind calling KF a liar and hypocrite! Interesting that Joe gets away with it, but then evos are not human, and therefore not in need of the same protection of delicate ego.

The fact that both are fair comment ...  hey, let's all get banned! KF! Over here, mate! I'd like a quiet word if I may. You are ...

If they had said that Christians struggle and sometimes say wrong or even foolish things in response to cases of destructive judgement of nations, that would be true and fair comment.

But that is NOT what we are seeing.

We are seeing insistent false accusations of genocide that seek to make cheap, poisonous rhetorical points.

You see, it's "ethnic cleansing"... er, hang on, I mean "the final solution"... no, just a minute... "manifest destiny"... oh bugger, let's go with "destructive judgement of nations".  But not genocide.  Genocide would be bad.

Well, my goodness. I go away for 24 hours and find that I’ve generated quite a discussion. Let me try to get caught up.

It's full of tard, of course, but here's my favorite bit:

(Responding to champignon who has said "I can assure you that no one has found a single macroscopic violation of the second law by any system")
         
Quote
The reason no one has found a single violation in spite of the fact that the earth itself is one massive violation of the Second Law is because they are simply unwilling to see it. “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

Added emphasis, I believe, is not necessary.

That whole thread is weird, starting with the OP:      
Quote
Inasmuch as the paranormal and spiritism are “personal”, possessing the characteristics of contingent personality, then it is dangerous to study them as a machine.
...
More precisely, the Bible condemns even the exploration of the occult, because of its parasitic relationship to persons.
...
Inasmuch as the paranormal is personal, it is forbidden for the same reason that the occult is forbidden–it infects our mind.

"it infects our mind"?

In other words, they have nothing to worry about.

going to UD is a lot like going to a glory hole.  protect yourself.  don't even read the shit without anonymizing because the same dick dribbles that have butthurt tantrums about using their real names (like kairosfocus i.e. Gordon E Mullings of Manjack Heights Montserrat) and make hypocritical hash of the blog rules by letting banned commenters like our limp wristed friend Joe Gallien continue to troll for man meat there under another name also like to out critics of UD.  if you remember that there is no honor among these derelicts and thieves then it remains the purest of joys to go over there and take the piss.

LMFAO

It is asking “what the hell do you know you arrogant prick?”

A prick is a penis in popular parlance. How could a penis be arrogant? I suggest, DrRec, that you get immediate anger-management counseling. These services should be available from evolutionary psychologists in your area.

Interestingly, it was brilliant attorney Phil Johnson’s book, Darwin on Trial, that was in some ways instrumental in my realization that Darwinism is unsubstantiated materialistic philosophy passed off as “science.”

Phil points out the rhetorical tactics used by Darwinists to obfuscate and redirect legitimate challenges into areas that are completely irrelevant concerning scientific evidence and logical analysis.

The elephant in the room is design, and no amount of penis argumentation will make it go away.

Regarding the discussion about UD I would argue that sites like UD are the best Idiots like Dembski could have done fot their oponents. The comments by their followers display what ID means. Without them Dembski and the othe Idiots would just run fake journal pages like "Bio-Complexity" and fake labs like "Biologic Institute" and pretend to being serious scholars who are just ignored by mainstream science. Thus, the best thing for our side is if UD is kept alive and even better if it is run by people like Barry Arrington.
