The only criterion for posts to be archived here...

...is that the post contains a dismissive or offensive comment about me (or some other poster whose views are contrary to the board's administrators).

The "skeptics" here (in fact they are dogmatists, not skeptics) are always quick to attack anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint, but they themselves will not tolerate any kind of criticism. Thus, posts which they deem to be supportive of their "position" (even if these are nothing more than insults or unfounded allegations against other posters) are promptly nominated for archiving; while posts in which the argument for "skepticism" are rebutted (or demolished) are ignored.

Previous posts in which I pointed out this fact, and which I requested to have archived (because I posted them in threads that were archived), were never archived. Because, of course, the board's administrators would like newcomers to think that the people who run this board are objective, impartial, fair etc., when in FACT archived posts are carefully selected, and threads censored, to give an entirely false and misleading impression.

Don't forget to archive this post.

Of course you would like my post archived...

...because that way you can point to it and say, "Look, this guy is complaining that the archives are censored and biased, but how censored can it be when we have actually archived his complaint!"
But the fact is that posts consigned to the FACTS archives are carefully selected and contrived to give an entirely false and misleading impression - ie, that the resident "skeptics" (ie, dogmatists) are clever cloggs who win all the arguments, when the truth is that they are a generally witless and uneducated bunch who are rarely able to defend or substantiate their views.

What's more, the very fact that you have called for my post to be archived is underhanded and disingenuous, since it has already been agreed (or so I have been assured) that when a particular post is archived, the rest of that thread - ie, all the follow-up posts - will also be archived. In which case my reply above should automatically be archived, and your call to have it archived is unnecessary. Is this the case, or is it not?
