| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

this is from johnfaa's journal on deviantart. i propose we lift the bann on johnfaa, yes he can be offensive but that is because he is very aggresive to people who try and suppress/oppress him (at least in his eyes). so lets give him a break and let him back in and let him have topics/ threads that allow for him to express himself ok? seriously this place won't be the same without him |

Is the ban all-powerful? I swear to God I saw him on this morning. I missed by 11 minutes, but he was on the Active Users List. |

Okay, okay, let's talk about this for a moment shall we? He talks about how we spent time making him feel uncomfortable yet he actually compared my faith to fascism, and talks constantly about how it's full of hate and then how much he hates it. The facts are this, while I do like John Faa and hope he comes back, I do not want him to leave, but he did go to far overboared. He was banned for a honest reason and logically I have to agree with it. His constant hate speech about religions, especially mine, should not be tolerated. Keep in mind, my sense of loyalty lead to me being the only person standing by him when he moved to get rid of Metazoica from the affiliates list, so I obviously don't want him to go. I have a question for you Seascorpion, if someone on the site did nothing but talk about how evil Australia was or about the evils of homosexuality, would you tolerate it? If he does go through with his threat to leave, I will miss him. I will miss him a lot. If Faa is reading this, which I don't know one way or the other, I do want you to stay, I'm pleading with you to stay, but I must support the ban, it was done for the right reasons. But, for the same token, why would you threaten the site? If you do that then you'll be no different then Metazoica, wouldn't you? What's the difference? |

...You take his insults against Christianity seriously? I'm sure he means them, but this is the internet. People say all sorts of horrible, stupid things. I've said plenty of horrible stupid things. Don't take 'em seriously. I don't. If one of you started ranting on about how the British Isles deserve to be bombed into the ground and how all ginger people should be raped, killed, raped again, cut up into tiny pieces, have those pieces raped then burned and then have somebody dance on the graves singing 'Hallelujah', I'd just say 'And a gah-lah bala to you too, laddie.' and ignore you. |

Even so, that doesn't change the fact that he does say them and mean them, iand then accuse US of making him uncomfortable. I don't care until that specific moment. |

Even though I agree it was a bad time to do it (his birthday), I have to agree with it. Temporary put it nicely. |

Maybe we should do something for his birthday, not because of this, but he is a relatively long-time member. Besides, this is one of the few times I know about a birthday ahead of time. Any ideas? |

I could try to un-ban him for his birthday, after all it is his birthday. But I don't know how to. I do have an idea though. But no unbanning before his birthday. |

So he's being whiny and hypocritical. And? MOst of us can be at times. I've probably been very whiny and hypocritical quite recently, with that new post in my DW topic. |

Hesaid to me that heonly hated the religions he found illogical. He also told me that he couldn't form an opinion on Shinto simply because there was a god for every blade of grass. Let's play it safe and say that he only hates the religions that he speaks out against. |

Yes, religions he said he hated, like mine. @Singemeister: Yes, that's exactly it. And while most of us can be at times, that single sentence pushed beyond any reasonable manner, we've even let him know that it makes us uncomfortable and he never stopped, then he expects us to stop for him? |

I hate to say it, but we kind of need JohnFaa here. He's the only one who will be properly straight to us when we're wrong, he is completely up to date, and his expertise in prehistory/anatomy is the broadest and most detailed i know. He makes interesting topics and never wastes a reply in the project topics. So he hates religion, i would be lying if i said that was just him. His difference is that he speaks out, says his mind. This offends people, for intolerance and thanks to him striking so close to home. But only in certain topics, which will inevitably follow these lines. |

We could always trash the topic immediately rather than ban him... |

Exactly. There are some topics that shouldn't be started in the first place, because it's obvious that they will lead to someone being offended for whatever reason. Delete the topics as soon as they start, and stuff like this can be averted. |
