My thoughts
Nice to see you again Crash!: I too, did not like the behaviour of NJ hounding Berberry and think it was wrong.
The admin may have erred on that matter (and the many worthy posters falling on their swords lends credence to this): they felt strongly enough to leave this place and become exodites in http://www.worldwideword.net/dreamcatcher/ .
I think though, that this site has changed somewhat (for better or for worse) and wonder what (if anything), is to be gained from raking over the past.
The mods at the time were sacked and came back (to mostly their previous form, mostly*). I can't see what's to be gained from going back over a real mess of a time that I'm sure some people would have played differently if given their time over again.
And the the 'hack message' from our fearless leader is real: Dr A (I think) got totally hacked!

Re: Are you joking still?
There is no way under any God's green earth that you can say that people who do not share Percy's (or your) ideas about science or philosophy get equal treatment to those that do. Absolutely no way.
Completely correct.
Creos get away with post after post with no evidence and merely assertion after assertion.
Just look at the Buzzsaw Hypothesis threads.

Re: Without precedent - or well documented history of capriciousness?t
If people with a religious orientation stuck to the non science threads where evidence need not be bought to the table I'm sure that at least some of the suspensions in the past (Faith for example) would not have happened. Not to specifically pick on her but she has said before that she would not believe ANY evidence that contradicted the literal truth of the bible. Buzz once said that he did not want to get "bogged down with evidence".
The honest fact is that more creos commit the crime of not backing up their arguments with scientific evidence (a requirement for science threads).
If more creos get suspended (and you have yet to compare all the banned members for affiliation and bring the evidence to the table) you can't automatically conclude it is because of bias you need to do some qualitative research to discover any themes that come up and systematically analyse them first.

Fair enough.
What evidence would satisfy you?
