It's quite obvious he hasn't studied evolution in the slightest as he lacks the most basic rudimentary concepts on the subject. Heck, I have only read a few books and have more knowledge on the topic.

what you were actually asked was how do you know what he has studied? and the fact is that you cannot possibly know with any certainty and as a direct consequence you cannot possibly say whether he was lying or not, infact your whole stance is based upon an assumption, that you know what he has studied and for what duration when infact you don't know anything about his study habits. Do you?

Proper Knob has plenty of evidence that galveston75 has not 'studied evolution all [his] life'. Do you have any evidence that he has?

It's called the 'evidence'. If I had claimed to have studied the Bible 'all my life' and then in our conversation it transpired I didn't know who John the Baptist, Mary and Joseph, Angel Gabriel, Pontus Pilate or even Jesus was you'd know I was not being truthful.

No, you are deliberately misrepresenting me here, in fact so much so that I'll call on being a liar straight to your face (metaphorically speaking)

I have said several times in this thread that Galveston's mothers illness is genuine.

I'm calling him on using it as an excuse not to post replies to me in several threads (while playing chess and posting elsewhere). THIS is the issue.

Furthermore, where is Galveston? More hiding, this time under your agreed conspiratorial guise of "bullying". This is more of the same, can't you see this?

I'm sure the rest of the forum can. It's hilarious.

Call me what you like, i don't care, as far as I am concerned and I think there is more than sufficient evidence based upon an examination of your forum behavior and the content of your posts that you have engaged in the systematic harassment, targeting, vilification and bullying of another forum member.

You have in addition used the circumstances of his parent illness to allege that he utilities this as an excuse to refrain from posting when in fact you have no actual way of knowing to what extent and with what frequency he must attend to their needs. To use that as a further pretext to target, harass and vilify another forum user compounds the charges against you for he is under no duress to post regardless of his circumstances as even you yourself have acknowledged.

I repeat this again, this forum is for the discussion of spirituality, but you time and again in the case of Galveston reduce it to the level of personalities as this suits your targeting, harassment and vilification of him, further evidence of the charges against you. Will you explain of what concern is it to your spirituality where Galveston is, what he is doing or what has or has not transpired between him and anyone else? and the answer is nothing, but you consistently utilize such elements to target, vilify and harass another user, making you entirely guilt of all charges against you, bar none.

Alert the web site if you want. As I said, I don't think you have much of a case.

edit: I see you say you think the process has already started. Let us know what they say.

Well......morning to all.

I'll keep this short if I can. I'm cancelling my subscription here at RHP as of this morning. It will allow me to finish my games if I want but will not renew as of my renewal date.
I have other issues in my life going on which some here doubt and seem to take lightly and have to me insulted the issue of alzheimers that my mother has and dementia that my Father has. I hope no one here has to see their parents live with it and will no doubt die from it.
I could say a few comeback statements to a couple posters here but there is no need, people are who they are and their hearts are what they are.
My time has become very valuable with my parents and need to concentrate on them and not with the issues here at RHP which is not important on the grand scheme of life.
I also appologize if I haven't handled my responces thoughtfully to anyone as of late. I have been distracted and I'm sure I haven't thought out my responces well.
Thank you and take care....

Let me be clear; Why don't you shut your cake-hole and go complain to the admins?

So is etiquette for some people just about avoiding backlash? Is this the case for all of us?
Your points are valid. I try to be as honest here as anywhere in life but a chess forum where some of the people are shiesty to begin with I personally just don't take it as seriously as I would if I were having a face to face with a person. I remember getting nasty with the JWs but I've sense taking a step back and thought is it right to go ballistic on these guys? No they're human beings like the rest of us. I would give them respect if I met G-Man or R.C. face to face so why not in the chess fourms too ? I guess though if someone wanted to go off on me I would still take it as a grain of salt.

Also It is easy for someone to shoot cyberbombs from the comfort of their being anonymous.

Galveston, everyone here will have the deepest sympathy with your domestic situation. Ageing parents are a concern at the best of times and I can only reiterate my sincere best wishes to you and you sick relative. These real life matters are of infinitely more significance than petty arguments on the internet, which mean absolutely nothing.

As you are leaving RHP to deal with this situation you should forget about this arguing crap, forget about chess, forget about this forum and focus entirely on matters at home.

I look forward to engaging in new combative situations between us in the future and at a time when you are in a frame of mind to fully engage in the fray. Until then, take care.

Sincerely.

Lets see if your memory is good Divegeester.
How many times in the last 5 years has Galveston done this same thing .. ie cry to everyone about his personal problems and threaten to leave [as if thats a big deal], just so that he can escape answering questions posed to him about topics he raised.

No lets be clear, why don't you stop targeting, vilifying and bullying members of the forum.
