That's nice. Why not go back to lurking?
Here's a gem from the other camp:
There is a woman abuser here (YOO), who has been going around claiming
that all drugs are derived from the ToE. Then this other idiot, Chris,
insists that it's more important to differentiate between modern and
other types of drugs because, well...just because.
Then, there is this Casanova that believes that everything religious is
bad and that all ills of the world stem from belief in some God as if
Stalin didn't even exist.
If you want idiocy, look at the people that share your ideology.
You're welcome.
You have limited intellectual skills and they aren't helping you make
your case.
You have no knowledge of YOO abusing any women. This is a made up
story. It is pure desperation on your part to make him look
dishonorable. Yes he fumbled the ToE and drugs relationship. But it
has only led to you looking like a cyber-stalker with no sense of
Christian charity or moral character.
So! Take your own advise. "Why not go back to lurking?"
You're also welcome.
If all you're going to do is ridicule the dufus why are you de-
lurking. Of course, he's an imbecile but he does participate in the
discussion and it is mildly amusing to watch him. You have brought
nothing to the discussion. We can ridicule our own dufoi, thank you.

Thank you for demonstrating that "all seeing 1" has a thought process

And rememebr that Hitler was doing the work of God. He says so several
times.
you know i'm right about the dinos. huh?
There's an example of Nashton's continuing self-alienation from the
truth just downthread.
You see, he made the initial claim, "All drugs are modern." It's
obviously stupid and wrong, and I called him on it. He is
constitutionally unable to admit error, and since he's wrong about
everything, it means he has to lie all the time. This is one of the
reasons he stalks me now, and cannot stop fixating on me. It's some
kind of brain-damage thing he's suffered.
Chris
He is a well known troll AKA: Adman, (M)adman, Uriel. There is a very clear
pattern in his material and style, at a broader level including the attempt
to bait certain regulars and right down to the detail of his spelling
mistakes and odd turn of phrase.
His game is to post silly CnP creationist stuff and then try to extend the
life of each thread with misdirection, insults, non sequiturs, reference to
"ancient texts"etc. Anything to avoid actually addressing the weaknesses in
his material or to answer the criticism of it. It is a game to him played
for his own amusement. He doesn't care how retarded he seems - that's part
of the game.

IIRC, Bob was taking apart all of Suzanne's arguments re Werner von
Braun which lead, ridiculously, to the charge of abuse.
Wombat
Seconded.
Eric Root
Aka the Unholy Trinity. :-)
The most reasonable explanation is that he/she/they just crave
attention. These are not your typical creationists like Ray, Pagano or
Nashton who have a long history of a deep fear of "Darwinism" and at
least some feeble attempt to concoct a stand-in origins account -
though the details of *their* "what happened when" scienario keep
getting fuzzier with time - losing confidence perhaps?"
Thanks to Poe's Law, we may never know about the likes of ASI (aka
"Madman" and other "nyms") or spintrpnic (aka "Bill" and other "nyms")
- detecting a pattern yet? - but they must know that they make
creationists look awfully pathetic to most lurkers. Might that be
their real goal???
Wait, so when Nashton is doing his constant whine about woman abuse,
he's talking about that argument about Werner von Braun in this
forum? What about it could be construed as abuse? And IRC, Ray made
some really brutal and sexist remarks a few years ago about one of our
female posters.
Several times I have asked him for an explanation of the "woman abuse"
charge, and he has always run.
Eric Root
A lie. Nashton can point to no evidence at all, otherwise we would
have done so at some point when requested. And you know that you are

share of atrocities over the centuries, in response to a
religious fanatic's post claiming that everything evil has

Most of us do, anyway; Nashie's mother probably

But the belief he claims for me is not one I ever posted,

The next step is to realize that he works for the evolutionists to
keep the discussions at a cartoonish level so that serious questions
about the elite religion of evolution can be avoided. It's a religion
since the upper echelon elite worship themselves as highly evolved
god-men who have the right to rule the sheep-men and to sicken,
disable or exterminate them to whatever degree they see fit. Of
course, there are many who would be happy to support any such policy
as long as they can assure themselves that they will have a seat at
the master's table, not so happy otherwise. Rather a sordid little
affair, is it not?

Bingo! He's actually pretty good at what he does too, even if what he does
is more than a little sad. But still, it amazes me how seriously people

Yes. It is increasingly obvious that you are a joke.
Boikat
thats not objective in the slightest. no wonder you would choose it
over a real intellectual competition.
What objective measure did you have in mind? GRE scores?
Degrees conferred? Peer-reviewed publications?
Or were you thinking of a more subjective use of the word "objective"?
I think under the "Pagano Rule" of engagement on ToE, the person who
first declares him/herself to be a winner wins. This is pretty
objective, as you only have to check the date of the posts.
What do you have in mind as an "objective" competition? Be
specific.
whats the matter? cant eric root speak for himself? or can he only
spew shit about me when it appears that im not around?
note for the future, all coward like root, i check for my name every
so often even when i dont have time to post. so if youre going to talk
shit, back it up when i come challenge you.
Well, snex is definitely the more objectionable of the two.

I see; you have no "objective" competition in mind and must
resort to invective as a distraction. More like a fundie
every day...
I can't disagree. He responded, and it's interesting that
the "Great Guru of Objective Evidence As the Only Real Sort"
had no suggestions for any sort of objective standards by
which such a "competition" could be evaluated. Duelling
Googles, perhaps. Or, taking a page from the UC Handbook of
Idiocy, duelling dictionaries. Scientism at its worst.
hey moron, read my post again. i said "any." whats the matter, too
stupid to come up with one? is "whatever the sycophantic religiotards
on talk.origins will vote for" really your idea of an intellectual
competition?
whats the matter moron, arent you aware of ways to determine
intelligence? if not, why arent you telling root to fuck off with his
claims about my intelligence? explain to him that he has no objective
standards by which to judge my intelligence.
you cant have it both ways, moron.
We were waiting for your to announce your idea of an intellectual
competition (of the objective sort, of course).
I think you've come to the realization that this is not the type of
competition where you're going to do at all well.
We know this. You know this. It's only a question of how many
posts you want to make reminding us of this.
Perhaps you should let it drop.
or perhaps you are just a complete fucking moron. i can come up with
many intellectual competitions right off the cuff. how about chess for
one? im not even good at chess, but i bet i can knock the pants off of
root. he will be praying to his invisible god to save him.
1. It's too easy to cheat. As soon as Eric beat you you'd be whining
that he must have used a chess engine.
2. It's not considered a proxy for intelligence, not even for machine
intelligence.
3. You've made your reputation by your inability to think, read and
write. Playing chess is not going to affect this reputation.
Sorry.
Really? Who would that be?

You issue the challenge, so I get to pick the weapon: not intellect,
but personality. Oops, you lose.

Plus, I don't pray for anything so shallow as victory in nonfatal
contests. That would definitely be taking the Lord's name in vain.
If snex (note lack of capitalization ) is such an intellectual giant,
how come he hasn't figured that out?
Anyway, the only way he could defeat me would prove that I'm wrong:
that he actually does have a better personality than Nashton. He
could do it in a heartbeat by showing an ability to admit he's wrong.
Maybe he could apologize to Garamond and offer to wash his car. That
would definitely defeat me, because I don't think it is in his power.

Eric Root
I didn't make any claims about your intelligence; your thinking I did
speaks volumes about your intelligence. And I don't have any problems
with your intelligence (well, you do seem to have stuck in the
concrete level of intellectual development.) it's your personality and
manners that inspire pity, just like your pea-pod brother-in-spirit
Nashton. You're both angry and hateful, arrogant, incapable of
admitting error, and , very, very shallow. You've been bested at
every discussion here, and, just like Nashton, you somehow think that
collapsing into paroxysms of invective have the power to rescue you
from defeat. In fact, I don't think anyone, even Nashton, would be
better off being you (althought the rest of us would be better off if
Nashton wasn't a creationist.)

From
http://ask.metafilter.com/68163/Specialized-Phrases-in-General-Usage
"The words idiot, imbecile, and moron were once official
psychological terms to describe certain IQ levels. Moron was
an IQ of 50 - 69, imbecile was 20 - 49, and idiot was below
20. Now we use all three words as slang for someone who's
not too bright."
Note the last sentence. It's not up to me to defend you
against vague comments.
> explain to him that he has no objective
>standards by which to judge my intelligence.
The standards by which we judge the intelligence of others
are always somewhat subjective; there *is* no truly
objective way to measure intelligence. I imagine Eric was
referring to your often-demonstrated claim that anything
which can't be evaluated by science doesn't exist. And I'm
*not* interested in your usual attempt to cast this as a
question about religion There are many things which
demonstrably exist but which we can only evaluate
subjectively, or at most semi-objectively.
>you cant have it both ways, moron.
Have what both ways? I tend to agree with O'Shea; Eric's
comment was of no interest to me.
Bad example for at least two reasons. First, a chess game
demonstrates primarily the relative chess knowledge of two
players. Second, and related, a computer has defeated human
chess masters; is the computer therefore "more intelligent"?
Intelligence is a *very* slippery concept, as you'd know if
you did any serious reading on the subject.
> im not even good at chess, but i bet i can knock the pants off of
>root. he will be praying to his invisible god to save him.
See, that sort of comment is why you're often judged to be
objectionable; it's obviously incorrect (no one prays to win
chess games) and is based on your dislike of anyone who
doesn't embrace scientism. It also indicates your emotional
age, which is low.
My apologies. I did not take his comments about her intelligence etc.
into account.
Wombat
chess is an example of an intellectual competition. the intellect is
used to play the game. anybody who isnt a moron knows this. but like i
said, it is only one example, since you were too stupid to think of
any yourself.

How are you going to get him across the table? Buy his airplane ticket?
Let's see what you can do with this:
White:
Rooks at c7 and c8, queen at f8, king at f5.
Black:
Rooks at e7 and e8, queen at b8, king at d6, pawn at d5.
White retracts the last move and mates in one. How?

Eric Root
Oh, I see, you are right (that was not difficult for some of us,) I
did mention your intelligence, in comparison with Naston's.
So, to prove me wrong, you would have to beat _him_ in an intellectual
contest. Who knows, you might be able to do it.
Eric Root
Hmm, so i did. I guess it is related to the idea that you couldn't be
very smart and have such a rotten personality.
Okay, I'll admit you might be as smart as Nashton, and I'll even grant
you no worse a personality.

So you *do* think that a computer which defeats a human
chess master is more intelligent? And you say "I'm" stupid?

....which means that, according to you, you're less
intelligent than a chess master, and therefore even less
intelligent than a computer...

Sorry, but I refuse to discuss intelligence with someone who
considers himself less intelligent than a computer.
No, I really don't care if someone else calls you a moron.
Is that childish? I disagree.

What "shit-talk" is that? Or is it "shit-talk" to point out
that you practice scientism, and that you're a foul-mouthed
twerp who probably knows as little about science as he does
about social interactions, and who retreats to ad hominem
and epithets when contradicted or when presented with
anything which would tend to refute your "science is all
that exists" quasi-religious beliefs? If that's the case, I
plead guilty.
beating you would be more satisfying, as well as proving you wrong -
that is - unless you think nashton is smarter than you are.
exactly where in this thread did i say anything to make root bring me
up?
no, things like that are what enable religion and other superstitious
bullshit to exist in the first place.
Well, snex? I know you're still here, so why haven't you
responded?
You didn't have to; the similarity between your posts and
those of Nashie, in tone and lack of maturity if not in
actual content, is too great to overlook.

How's that retractor problem treating you?

But I already beat you, in a personality contest. That was _very_
satisfying.

Any better luck over the weekend?
