Kevin is a dickhead....

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Kevkev has been on a banning spree...

He banned you for something in the "anti-depressant induces suicide" thread, or maybe in my introduction thread. I need to read more though. None of the posts have explained why we were banned, only that we were.


How do you know this? I am banned as well, and I don't think tkster knows about it. I am waiting for him to come online so I can talk to him about it. I think this is just Kevkev acting up again as well, but I'm not sure. When I talk to tkster, hopefully more will be revealed.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I used your link to the Skeptic Times search, and just did a search on user-name Dr. Mabuse.
Kevkev had responded to a couple of the threads, and the last post in two of the threads said "banned".

Tkster knows. We had an email exchange about it... He just isn't doing anything about it. Also, Kevin is bragging about it.

By the way, tkster says he is planning to close down the forum...

Are you serious? Jimi didn't post his rebuttal...

Anyways, that is the best news I've heard August 4th (the date I joined their forum). This is a big mission accomplished for me, they will no longer be able to spread Creationism to others, at least through the forum. 1 forum down, 23905209592590 Creation forums to go....

I think the most important thing being there was trying to get skepticim to a site that falsly called itself skeptic.

You can say what you want, but Rapture Ready Bulletin Board has never pretended to be anything else than a hangout place for whacko Fundies(tm). For that, I consider them more respectable than Skeptic Times.

Good point, Mab. That the site called itself "skeptic" always bothered me. While the term 'skeptic can technically mean simply "one who doubts accepted beliefs" in most contexts-- including both SFN and Skeptictimes-- it clearly means "one who is looking or inquiring for what is true; an inquirer after facts or reasons" (these from Websters. Obviously, when a forum states

quote:
The first rule is that atheists are only allowed to post in the 'All Member Forums.' No attacks against Creationists or hostile attitudes towards Creationists is to be shown. No attacks against their sources either.


one should ask just how "skeptical" its going to be.

And, of course, it's not just creationism that goes un-questioned. He did have a strange rant against the value of bottled water, but much of his "skepticism" is expressed in various "debates" between him and what appear to be made-up people (poorly) defending whatever claim tkster is questioning. (Witness this"debate" (scroll down) with an employee of some sort of knife-selling company, followed by an argument with an "evolutionist.")

But all this is probably moot, since tkster is known for saying one thing and doing another...

Haha, Kil, way to go. I'm reading your posts at Skeptic Times now; you crushed that angrybellsprout person (about the entire blowing away of the nation of Israel)... very, very amusing.

OK, so I am not banned anymore. But I had to update my profile so, for some reason, I can't sign on. Tk said Kevin gave reasons for the other three bannings but none for mine. Just doesn't like me. I can't imagin why? I think Mab and I were banned for talking about how careful you have to be posting there and not getting banned or deleted in Mabs introduction of himself. Kevin marched in and made our point for us. He is an idiot. I have no idea why Ricky is banned. I doubt very much that there is a good reason for it...

Banned because you actually think outside the proverbial box.
Simple as that.
