Since this thread won't die here is my comments:

Your mods and your helpfullnes when someone asks questions clearly deserve a fiver.

I personally don't like your political views, but I would never rate anyone because of a difference in opinions.

I have rated you low because you have a tendency to flame every idea not your own. I think this is very counterproductive to the SEIV society and also SEV development. Several posters have dropped completely out of the forum after one of your very rude responses.

To end this post, I am gonna quote you:
“Please don't be so arrogant to assume that you hold absolute truth and anyone that disagrees with you is naive. The only one being naive there is the person that believes they hold absolute truth.”

See... now we are making some headway. Much more useful post than most made in this thread.

It is always nice to see quotes taken wildly out of context. There is a significant difference between arguing against something someone posted and refusing to accept any criticism of things you have posted. That was posted after someone repeatedly refused to accept that some evidence he/she was using was wrong, and continued using it. It does not apply to myself because when I am wrong, I admit it and amend my views appropriately. I just happened to be right in the debate that was quoted from.

If someone was offended by something posted in an OT thread, then that person should not be reading OT threads. They nearly always get somewhat heated, and it is very easy to be offended when people post things that contradict your own world view. If I offended these people enough to make them leave the entire forum, then I am sorry. It was never my intention to drive anyone away. But, they should lighten up and not take things so seriously.

Also, I do not "flame every idea not [my] own". There is a world of difference between flaming someone for their ideas and holding more or less civil debates. When someone Posts something I do not agree with, I am well within my rights to post something arguing against it (as they can argue against anything I have posted). I do not flame these ideas, I just argue against them. Flaming them would consist of posting something like, "you're a moron, with stupid beliefs." I have never posted that.

... that was a bit long-winded. Oh well.

Edit: Upon reading Fyron's profile i'm finally happy to find another person who has their birthday on september 11th, you have no idea how immature school kids can be "OMG Your Osama Bin Laden!" *sigh* and i thought 16 year olds were beginning to mature! So maybe you can send a couple of vorlon ships to incinerate my school, or do you have connections with the borg? I've always suspected my teacher as one...

Nah, 16 year olds are still children. Most people don't start to mentally mature until around 18-20, if not later. Females usually mature at a younger age than males, but rarely by 16.

I will not incinerate your school. That would be a violation of policy.
