Alright, please don't make me go into my rant about how mods need to use better judgment. Yes, Jinx is wrong, but you can't warn him for not changing his (wrong) belief. You're a very smart person, you should understand that.
I view the situation like this: You believe that you prove Jinx wrong with every post that you make. Jinx believes that he proves you wrong with every post that he makes. What's the difference between you two? You have the power to warn him, and as such, because he is unwilling to see that he is wrong, he must be trolling or spamming the thread.
Think of it as if Jinx were a mod. He'd be threatening to warn you because he's clearly proved you wrong (in his delusional mind), yet you keep insisting on posting. Why, you're spamming the thread! Unacceptable!
I'm just sayin'
As I've told Jinx; it's not the posting of material that contradicts or refutes anyone else's material. It's repeating what you said before, almost verbatim, while ignoring the responses of other people.
Example:
Person A: This is wrong because A claims (this).
Persons B, C, D, E: A
doesn't claim (that).
Person A: This is wrong because A claims (this).
Persons B, C: We just told you A doesn't claim (that).
And it continues over and over again. It's not a debate over the subject; it discourages actual discussion.
Jinx, in five separate posts, insisted that (through his own words, and through the youtube videos he posted) that evolution is false because of its stance on abiogenesis. As numerous people posted, evolution makes absolutely no claims
about abiogenesis.
Then, after people had posted evidence for evolution, comes out and says "Well, where's the evidence?" Everything indicating that he doesn't actually read people's responses (at least, understand them) while continuing to repeat the same thing over and over.
Then latching on to the difference in the meaning of the word "theory." What people normally think of a theory is actually a
hypothesis. He was told this by multiple people.
Everyone is free to refute evolution. But use actual arguments, data, studies, etc, that refute it. His recent arguments, while I consider wrong, are acceptable. He's free to argue "intelligent design" if he wants to. But before, the repeated (ad. naseum) insistence that evolution is abiogenesis, when if he had done thirty seconds of research would've told him otherwise, is spam.
It's the same thing if I went into a thread about Dragonball and said "this show sucks because it's made in Russia."
People respond to me, say it's not, and I continue to babble on about how it's made in Russia, and therefore sucks. Now imagine two pages of the the thread are devoted to how Dragonball isn't actually from Russia, despite my repeated insistence.
That's spam, which derails the thread.
