Still waiting on an appeal in the Ban Hammer section after months of silence from administration, and now the system is blocking me entirely with a "you do not have permission to access this page" error.
I need the admins to clarify something: are we allowed to present findings from Natural Science that clash with mainstream ideas about nature here on the FBI forum? I’ve noticed the moderators and several users—both directly and indirectly—rely heavily on what's "popular" to shut down arguments. Some people even get visibly emotional when popular theories are critically examined, resorting to ad hominem attacks. Based on the moderator's response over in the Ban Hammer section, that’s exactly why I got partially banned on the FBI forum. Apparently, presenting biological findings that show evolutionary outcomes don't align with popular interpretations of evolutionary theory is a problem.
It's obvious to me that these ideas are being pushed because of the philosophical viewpoint (Naturalism) held by the moderator and certain users. But a philosophical stance doesn't erase physical findings, nor does it sit above the scientific method used to uncover them. Besides, the subforum isn't called "Naturalism," it's called Natural Science. Even if it were, it would be absurd to kick out anyone who critically questions Naturalism. In that light, it's even more bizarre that this crackdown happened in Natural Science. So, I'm looking for a clear statement from administration.
