    SkinWalker says I'm not allowed to use logic and bring up the fact that (atheists) use logical fallacies...

    He says if I do that my post will either be deleted, moved, locked, etc...

    Why is this and why is it not allowed?

    No he doesn't. I don't even have to see what he said to know that he doesn't. Because I know you, VitalOne, and that's enough.

    Why do you continually misrepresent everyone else's viewpoints?

    [Simple answer to your question: it isn't. And no-one has said that it is.]

    No, he says it, go look for yourself...

    Also you dodged out of the entire argument (again), your argument is "I know you, case closed"

    For instance right here:
    Source - http://sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=1614778&postcount=10

    Note that is under the "religion" sub-forum

    Also this post by me, originally entitled "Agnosticm, Atheism, Theism, wtf?" was also considered trolling and moved:
    Why is asking questions like this disallowed?

    Sounds fine to me. What's the problem?

    Then he got upset and says that pointing out logical fallacies of atheism is considered "trolling"

    Ofcourse it's fine to you, you're an atheist, you don't want anyone to be able to point out the logical fallacies of atheism...right?

    Why is this fine? Can you explain pleasE?

    Why is it not ok to point out logical fallacies?

    The first note is in a thread on the origins of life on Earth. The thread had just been moved into the Religion subforum, so the warning was issued apropos of nothing in order to make sure the thread stays on track.

    The second message was a notification of merged threads. He accuses you of creating multiple 'rants' (threads) on very similar themes. I have to say that I've noticed the tendency.

    Again, I don't see a problem with either of those.

    And, for the last time, I'm not an 'atheist'.

    You need to read his post again. He's not saying that you can't "point out the logical fallacies of atheism". All he's saying is: don't introduce any logical fallacies of your own in doing so.

    No, you're wrong, the thread wasn't originally in the Biology section, SkinWalker says that I can't use logical fallacies, you didn't address anything at all

    Also, atheists repeatedly post similar things all the time, it's fully allowed and tolerated...why is this?

    He's not saying: "you can't point out the logical fallacies of atheism".
    He's saying: "don't use logical fallacies".

    No, he's saying don't point out logical fallacies...didn't you read the post? That's why the post originally entitled "The irrationality of atheism" listing logical fallacies of atheism was renamed to "VitalOne's fallacious rants..." and considered trolling for some unknown reason

    Also the post about the Origins of Life was originally in the Religion section

    No-one ever said it was. It was in Comparative Religion. Moved to Religion.
    And what - you think these should be allowed?

    I neither know nor care, to be honest. My interest in discussing this has rapidly waned.

    I meant to say SkinWalker is saying that I can't point out logical fallacies when I said "use logical fallacies" while debating

    Hmm...why can't you explain?

    Clearly he's saying don't point out logical fallacies, otherwise why would the therad pointing out logical fallacies be considered trolling?

    Your argument is "NO NO NO you're wrong, case closed"

    Well, the post you quoted wasn't even addressed to you. It was in a thread that you hadn't thus far participated in. So what the hell are you on about?

    Show me where he's said to you what you say he's said.

    SkinWalker doesn't directly say that, he just moved any of my posts pointing out logical fallacies into the thread "VitalOne's fallacious rants..."

    I'm talking about the thread 'Origin of life on earth'. From which the 1st Skinwalker quote comes. Not your thread. Began in Comparative religion. Moved from there by it's moderator Avatar into Religion. Read the thread before you dispute the accuracy of this again.
