I was just on Uncommon design, the weblog of Demski and other ID
people, ( Site: http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/what-do-design-detection-and-nazis-have-in-common/),
arguing about the Darwin-Nazi connection.

Then, suddenly, all of my posts disappeared! No explanation was given.
I never used any profanity, or any other kind of questionable
language. I simply backed up my claims with Wikipedia links, and made
sure that I addressed every issue raised. Oh, well...

I guess it's too much to expect from Creationists to actually allow a
dissenting view.

So I made a new account, and posted a new reply that went:

"Umm...

I can stay away if you want me to, but I kind of want some closure on
this. I didn't use profanity, and thought I conducted myself politely,
and did not use any ad hominems or attack anyone. I really would like
to know why I got banned and my posts deleted, because I don't know
what on earth offended you.

If you go to After the Bar Closes , you'll find that the Official
Uncommonly Dense Discussion Thread (
http://www.antievolution.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=487e627e14186e27;act=ST;f=14;t=1274;st=0
) is very close to its 1000th page of watching UD. You may want to let
Reciprocating Bill know about your banning in case he missed it, they
have a thread which records those also.

They probably blacklisted your IP address too, not just your user name;
so you can't post anymore even under a different user name.

I've had that same experience. I've been kicked off of blogs just
because of my dissenting views, which didn't match the views of the
moderator. Even though I always maintained a civil tone, even though I
always backed up my points with hard evidence. Just being a dissenter
was ipso facto considered being a "troll"--and I was banned on that
basis. My IP address was banned too, so I could not even get another
account under a different user name.

Examples:

Until 2007, anyone critical of the Bush Administration's conduct of the
Iraq War was summarily banned from Little Green Footballs.

For many months, anyone who was supportive of Rudy Giuliani's candidacy
for President was summarily banned from FreeRepublic.com, because the
moderator of that blog insisted that "Giuliani is not a true conservative."

Political blogs are NOT a substitute for Usenet newsgroups. Because
each blog is heavily moderated to support the moderator's point of view.
Most posts consist of agreeing with the moderator. Only a few
dissenting voices are tolerated, and these are tolerated only on
relatively minor or largely irrelevant issues.

Truly free-wheeling blogs as free-wheeling as Usenet are rare.

Of course Biblical typology is proven true: those who represent the
views of God are hated and rejected by mainstream majorities.

I guess on some level I have to support their right to do this. If
you want to have a cozy little blog in which everyone gives each
other little online backrubs, well, that's not so bad. Maybe they
don't want a discussion.

Well, duh. That's why it's called "Uncommon Dissent". Dissent is
uncommon there because they like it that way. And this shows a lack of
common decency. Creationists communally dissemble.

So you are accusing UcD of being a "mainstream majority" that "hates
those who represent the views of God" right? Heck, what else can you
mean; I essentially quoted you verbatim?

Anyway, there's a *huge* difference between UcD's and PT's criteria
for banning. UcD deletes almost any post that's inconvenent to its
propaganda, and bans any poster who doesn't take their warning. OTOH,
to be banned from PT one must be an incorrigibly obnoxious troll.
Changing one's username in order to continue hijacking a thread is
what they tolerate least. I don't know why you were banned, but you
might want to try to come back. I will put in a good word for you.
Even banned posts are usually just moved to their no-specific-topic
thread called the "Bathroom Wall." Some of my posts have been sent
there along with those of many other "evolutionists."

How the fuck do you know that **YOU** "represent the views of God",
Ray.

Did God tell you that himself? Did he give you a laminated

I simply don't believe that you "represent God", Ray. In fact, I

he's holier than everyone else alive, even though he's just an

You are just a man, Ray. Not God's Spokesman, not God's Prophet, not

Since these places have rules (unlike here) of course.

Of course Dembski doesn't run UD----Dave Scot does for him. Dembski,
placing trust in a closet Atheist-dirtbag, has executed traitorous
judgment in this issue. The fact that Dembski doesn't care as to who
gets shafted, based on the capriciousness of an anti-Theist dictator,
tells me that he has gotten way too big for his britches. For a
soldier of the Cross to allow a soldier of Satan to be his secretary,
shows the power of Satan. The way something is done is more important
than what is done. Dave Scot diminishes Dembski's authority and
reputation----but Bill is blinded to this fact. Dembski doesn't give a
rats ass----that's the problem. The published credentialed author is
exposed to not be as morally superior as his accomplishments insinuate
him to be.

But if I were extended a personal apology and invitation by UD to come
back----I wouldn't----not for a minute. I wholly disagree with the
format: a handful of "superiors" introducing the discussions to a
perceived inferior fan base. In other words I wouldn't place myself
beneath persons who I know to be intellectually inferior to myself (I
exempt Dembski here). Nor would I deign to place myself above a group
of other persons. The best format is here at Talk Origins.

That is exactly what I meant. If you are accepted by this majority,
Catholic or Protestant, you are not representative of God's real
message.

In the Bible, those who are in God's will, are rejected by both
secular and religious majorities alike.

Paul said, "all Asia hath forsaken me....only Luke is with me...."

Except for a handful of women and the Apostle John, Christ was
forsaken by all as He hung on the cross. The religious majority
rejected Jesus; and where were any of the persons that He healed and
delivered during His ministry?

The Pope is loved by everyone.

So is Billy Graham.

Sorry, but the truth is the truth. I have no doubt that both the Pope
and Graham are good people. Obviously so were St. Paul and the
Saviour.

Well not according to the bible.

Paul:
Ephesians 3:8 - Unto me, who am less than the least of all
saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the
Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

In the Bible and the contemporary world alike, serial rapists, raving
lunatics, and the occasional cannibal are rejected by secular and
religious majorities alike. I think that is not sufficient to
establish that Jeffrey Dahmer was a representative of God's real
message. Even though I'm fairly sure that you don't have any half-
eaten human heads in your refrigerator, being rejected by both secular
and religious majorities isn't enough to establish that you represent
God's will, either. After all, not merely lunatic serial killers, but
Jehovah's Witnesses, the Nation of Islam, and assorted flying saucer
cults all claim to represent God's true will, are rejected by secular
and religious majorities, and are, I'm pretty sure, rejected by you
too.

By the way, Ray, you have repeatedly advanced the claim that half the
U.S. population are creationists. Given that the vast majority of
these creationists align themselves with the Catholic or Protestant
religious majorities, why do you imagine that their views have any
value? On your own arguments, they're wrong about the things that
matter most; why assume they are right on more peripheral matters?

I did look into the matter of Pope assassinations. Only one, one of
the earlier Benedicts, was definitely assassinated (he was
strangled). Some others died untimely, but though poison was
suspected in some cases, it could not be proved.
If you have a more accurate list, I would like to see it.

Oh? I can think of one who was definitely assassinated, one who was the
subject of an attempted assassination, and three who quite probably were
assassinated, but there's insufficient evidence.

The list at
<http://media.isnet.org/kristen/Ensiklopedia/AssassinatedPontiffs.html> is,
quite simply put, bullshit. He's got the definite, alright (Benedict VI) but
the others simply didn't happen that way, with the exception of Boniface
VIII. And, while it's true that Boniface VIII was severely beaten by French
thugs on the orders of the French king, and that he died later of what were
(probably) the results of that beating, this is not an assassination. For one
thing, the object of the beating was not to kill him, but rather to get him
to agree to do what King Phillip IV wanted. (He didn't.) That he took about a
month to die is rather indicative.

What were the exact circumstances and reasons given for your bans,
Ray?

I suspect your ban from UD happened pretty much the same way as your
ban from Conservapedia: You displayed kookery so outrageous that even
other creationists considered you a liability.

As to the Panda's Thumb, I've never seen them ban anybody merely for
disagreeing; they have their own little squad of regular trolls. Did
your ban perhaps reference one of your little explosions of
scatological invective? Or several of them?

That's the point----none were given----like Psycho Dave said. Suddenly
my posts disappeared and I was unable to post or my posts did not
show. When a banning that is illegitimate is going to occur it is not
announced or addressed. The victim is shut out with no recourse and,
of course, no one misses him.

It doesn't matter what anyone says: Psycho Dave was banned because he
could not be refuted. The same with me. As long as we engaged in no
profanity or spamming or invective we were banned because we were
pissing people off who could not refute. If our posts were nonsense
then a smart person would leave them be and not answer and allow the
nonsense and silence to speak for them self.

I see no insult in being banned by Fundamentalists, that is, persons
who accept a young Earth and microevolution at Indy 500 tempo. That
is, persons who accept microevolution like all Atheist evolutionists.

By the way: I was asked to come back at Conservapedia by
Administration. I have refused. I was initially asked to write the
Charles Darwin bio article by Andy and Admin Conservative. When Andy
changed his mind at the urging of a closet Atheist Admin is his ranks
I wrote a stinging piece of criticism and then was banned. I am not a
conservative. I am a middle to left leaning independent who rejects
the death penalty, supports abortion (except final trimester) and I
was glad to see a corrupt Republican Party lose control of Congress in
2006. I support Barack Obama for President.

No one can produce one scrap of evidence justifying my ban at Pandas
Thumb----none. I believe that I was banned by the caprice of one power
mad person of whom I forgot their name. My banning at UD is because I
infuriated Dave Scot and dared to point out his militant anti-
Protestantism Atheism. William Dembski could care less about any given
individual on the Internet----even a supporter----shame on him. I
would never again participate in his (or any) forum that is structured
on a superior-inferior format. The best format is here at T.O. where
everyone knows and finds their place. The few real nuts who post here
are few and far between because no one answers. This is the way it
should be----no censorship: the price of freedom is association with
kooks, meaning those who abuse their freedom. Censorship is when
legitimate persons get banned by persons in charge who abuse their
power by ajudicating a personal grudge, derived from the discussions,
under the appearance of official duty.

Pardon me if I find your claim dubious, but you have been shown to be
a liar on several previous occasions. You also tend to creatively
interpret your bannings from various discussion forums-- you get
angry, you throw a temper tantrum or three, you get yourself banned,
and then you claim it happened because those big bad atheists couldn't
refute your invulnerable logic. I personally suspect you deliberately
try to get banned when you find you're getting your ass kicked-- it
allows you to slink away feeling justified. Remember when you started
spamming the same post to t.o over and over again?

At any rate, I've emailed the Panda's Thumb to see what they have to
say about the ban.

> It doesn't matter what anyone says: Psycho Dave was banned because he
> could not be refuted.

That's common practice for Uncommon Dissent, but not for the Panda's
Thumb.

> The same with me.

I don't buy it. A reasonably bright ten-year-old could refute you,
Ray; your statements are often demonstrably counterfactual and
logically inconsistent to boot.

To the contrary, Ray, refuting nonsense is the whole point of the
Panda's Thumb, as well as talk.origins. Antiscience bafflegab must be
opposed, or it will triumph by default.

Your ideological division with other creationists is just one more
reason they consider you a liability. You rip holes in the Big Tent.

Correction: You posted a frothing rant and then you were banned. I
read the entire exchange, Ray. I have to say I was impressed, though;
it's no small achievement to be so kooky that even Andy Schlafly
thought you an embarrassment.

Still, I wouldn't take that too personally. Andy has little patience
for people who fail to massage his ego on a regular basis.

On the contrary, the real nuts get lots of responses. Nearly every
post from Pagano, Nando, or yourself starts a monster thread with
dozens of replies. People do it because they're fans of science, and
don't want to let your anti-science screed stand without challenge.
And the creationist posters get pasted again and again; their
ignorance is exposed, their dishonesty is brought to light, and the
scientific vacuity of the creationist position is demonstrated again
and again.

If you can cite evidence that the Panda's Thumb banned you without an
extremely good reason, I'll happily join you in protest. Heck, I'll
ask them to unban you. (They'd probably do it if *you* asked for it
politely.) But you've demonstrated many times that you're a self-
aggrandizing liar with a persecution complex; I don't buy your version
of the story, not for one second.

I doubt that Elsberry even knows who I am. But, like I already said,
my posts were suddenly gone, that is, the most recent ones AT THE TIME
and no posts were posting. So I got the picture. At the time my posts
had been infuriating a small handful of persons including a particular
Mod (whose name I forgot).

Again, you have not been able to post any post of mine that shows
justification for banishment.

And, are you saying that Elsberry is saying that I am free to post at
PT?

Should I attempt a post?

If it does not appear then what?

If you supply me some names of those who have Moderator powers I am
sure to remember the name of the Mod who surreptitiously banned me.

Of course one could expect an atheist, or an "evoltuionist" to say something
else, if there had been any evidence for it. However, since there isn't
any reason to assume that the previous poster was an atheist, or a scientist
who studies evolution, how is that relevant?

Also, Ray, your own statement has become quite predictable as well. When
someone doesn't support your assertion of "slander" (libel is the correct
term), you assume the person is an atheist, or "evolutionist".

So in other words, there's absolutely no evidence that you were

You made the claim, Ray. The burden of proof is on you. Can you point
to at least one post you made that remains on the Thumb? What user
name did you use when posting?

> And, are you saying that Elsberry is saying that I am free to post at

That seems to be the case.

> Should I attempt a post?

Go for it.

> If it does not appear then what?

Then let me know. Send me a link to the thread in which you attempted
to post, along with the name you used and the approximate time of your
post. I'll email the Panda's Thumb and ask about it.

> If you supply me some names of those who have Moderator powers I am

I don't know the names of the moderator or moderators at the Thumb. I
don't have access to any special information; I merely clicked the
"Contact Us" button on the front page and asked if you'd been banned,
and why. I haven't done anything you couldn't have done.

Seeing all the unbeliavbly idiotic stuff posted at PT by people even more
'advanced' than Ray, I find it very hard to belive he ever was banned there.
But OTOH, I don't see no reason why he should post there nor here; he should
just hurry up and get his paper out. Then there will no longer be any
dispute about evolution and people will 'flood' the churches.

Martyrdom has always been sweet for xtians.

You know, that could explain a lot. Have you ever looked up at the
ceiling of a cathedral and checked out the size of that guy's finger?
Geez, fixing the typos alone could eat up eons, especially if He was
using a laptop or, God (forgive the irony) forbid, a hand held device.

Although, it might be even worse. It might be the Finger on the clay

I now remember who banned me at PT. It was some asshole who calls
himself PVM. He became enraged with my arguments and quietly had the
SS silence me.

I just came back from PT and reviewed the topics. The only ones that I
was even mildly interested in had no responses posted and there was
nothing to click on to make a post. No reply box no nothing. PT has a
very stupid system and format. Nothing makes sense. Any person finding
the site wishing to participate cannot, but must spend time and effort
just figuring out how to create a post. It seems those who run the
site have never tried to access their site as a stranger. I challenge
anyone from Google to make a post to a topic that has none already.

Impossible. It has nothing at all to do with Google. Google is one
website among billions on the internet. I access Google Groups through
Internet Explorer and I accessed the Panda's Thumb through Internet
Explorer. I found a link to PT using Google, but left Google behind
when I clicked the link. Google is a search engine for information and
it is an information and service provider, ie maps and email. Please
separate in your mind the browser (Internet Explorer) and web pages
browsed (Google, PT). Also, separate in your mind, information
provided by Google from links provided by Google to other websites'
information.

I have never been to the PT forum and don't have a login. Not having
anything specific to chime in on, I decided to not go that far but
after clicking on the Forums link from the main page, I noticed a
thread titled "After the bar closes" that allows you to comment on
threads after they are closed. It seems that a thread is closed after
some period of time and no further posts are allowed, so naturally
there would be no functional buttons. From the thread mentioned, I
chose one at random, noticed a "quote" button for each post, and
buttons to "add reply" and "new topic" at the bottom. Without creating
a login, I couldn't go further but it doesn't appear to be difficult
to post.

My results are the same. I also don't have a login, but the "add reply"
button was present on one of the topics that I looked at, which was a
post without replies as Ray requested. So obviously "no reply box no
nothing" is false.

Ray's assertion that "PT has a very stupid system and format." and
"Nothing makes sense." appears to me to be a result of his frustration
and impatience at not being able to figure out how the PT web site works
as opposed to anything else.

Obviously you were not paying attention to what I actually said.

I said that I had no problem finding how to post to a topic that
already had posts. I said there was no way to post to a topic that had
no posts (the only topics that interested me). There is simply nothing
to click on. What is clickable results in page refresh and still no
reply box----no way to post.

Are those threads open or closed. Did you notice what I said about
"After the bar closes"? You won't be able to respond to *closed*
threads no matter how many responses exist but you could respond to
open threads, even if there is only one post, or I miss my guess.

Blah blah blah. Spare us your martyrdom speech, Ray.

Did you try to post at PT yet? That will show the whole world,
definiteively, whether you are bullshitting us or not when you say you
were banned. Either your post will show up, or it won't.

So have you tried to post yet?

If so, what thread, what time, what username, and did the post show up
or didn't it.

If not, why not? Don't have the ping-pongs for it?

It's looking more and more to me that you were NOT banned, you're
lying about BEING banned, and you don't have the balls to SHOW us that
you are banned -- because you know you were NOT.

So spare us your whining, and either try to post something and show us
that you are banned, or sit down and STFU.

Liar.

Ray is just making idiotic excuses.

He knows just as well as *I* do that anything he posts will go sailing
right on through, and he is NOT banned.

So Ray will wave his arms, make all sorts of excuses, and tell us all
a billion reasons why he can't try to post ------ he will do anything
and everything except POST A GODDAMN MESSAGE ------- all because he
knows he is lying to us, and he knows that any post he DOES make to PT
will PROVE that he's lying to us.

Then quit waving your arms and POST SOMETHING.

SHOW US that it won't get through, and that you really are banned. OR

You are still not listening (no surprise). I am talking about open
threads on the first page----asshole. I said threads with preexisting
posts had a reply box. Now, for the third time, threads with no
replies had no reply box, like this thread from the Main page:

http://www.pandasthumb.org/

12 topics down is this thread:

http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2008/07/the-alliance-ag.html

AGAIN, threads with at least one post have a reply capacity. Threads
(like the one above found on the MAIN page) that have no replies, that
means ZERO have no reply box. It just so happens, LIKE I ALREADY SAID,
that *this* thread was the only thread that interested me.

So, how does a person add the first reply to this thread?

It's a link to another man's blog. It's not a PT article. There is no
comment box at the bottom, which is probably the reason there are no

Ray,
that is not a forum thread, it is a link to an archived article where
no posts
are allowed.
Try going to the forums, especially After the bar closes section, and
you will probably

If you had bothered to read the replies you would have found that reply
1544 posted about 48 hours after the original posting on July 1 says

OK, everybody put down those smoking keyboards and take a step back,

I got another email from Wesley R. Elsberry, by the way. He mentioned
that nothing is ever actually "deleted" from the site; even when
posters are blocked, the posts remain in that database-- they just
aren't visible "from the outside." He did a search of the database,
including deleted posts and banned posters, and found ZERO incidences
of your name.

So not only have you never posted there (at least, not under your real
name) it seems like nobody has ever so much as mentioned you.

Conclusion: It seems like your ban from tPT is entirely in your
head... or something you made up on the spur of the moment so you
could beat your breast about those evil evilushinnists and their evil
banning ways. Of evil.

Looks like you're once again caught in a lie, Ray.

Postscript: The Thumb's commenting system is simple, easy, and utterly
typical of blogs. As with usenet, you're just too proudly ignorant to

Ray is beginning to sound like McNameless. He was never banned, he
just wasn't smart enough to figure out how to post there.

With his proclivity toward vulgar language, Ray's paper will be
written at a third grade level but with an R rating. The only people

Remember your silly complaint about this site 'being broken'?

Funny, I have always assumed that without questioning it. A good thing too
that, we have enough of Ray here.

Good point. That usually just means that comments must be posted on
the linked blog, and not PT. Sometimes I do that, and sometimes I just
don't bother, as it's one more forum that I have to keep track of.

Thus there are many more "Darwinist" sites that Ray is free to
participate in. If he has any free time while competing that paper.

And even they will not take too kindly to the language. After all, in
fundamentalist "logic" 4-letter words lead to sex, drugs and rap
(apparently rock & roll is no longer the "music of the devil").

Apparently Ray is so joined at the brain with Gene Scott that Ray
can't even TALK on his own -- he has to ape Scott's language as well
as his, uh, "teachings".

It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

Ray, have you EVER had an original thought? Ever? Any at all?

Don't you be too sure about that. I saw /John Denver/ being trashed as
Satanic lately.
