Re: nosey's attack
Hi Ben,
​
See Message 86 (which is from me) and work backwards. I've already asked AdminBuzsaw to take a look.
​
In effect, randman is saying things like this, which is from Message 78:

If there is any paranoia around here, it is among the rabid Christian haters posting things like Christians want to hurt small children, molest them, ruin science, take over America, impose theocracy, etc, etc,....
​
He seems to feel that that characterizing this as paranoia is a violation of the Forum Guidelines which therefore justifies his abuse of other members by ignoring their arguments, calling them liars, etc.

Re: ray's ad hominem remarks
Rays remarks and conduct are so outlandish that there seems little fear that anyone would take them seriously. My own opinion is that those who engage with known loons shouldn't request help from moderators if the loon turns on them. Moderators have no special talent for talking sense into the irrational.
​
Moderators are not all of one mind when it comes to people like Ray. I would prefer that those like him be permanently suspended, and that was actually our approach for a while, but the reality is that once you start enforcing reasonable standards of decorum then suddenly there's no Ray, no Randman, no Faith, and no discussion. I couldn't even guess why the opponents of evolution are such a volatile group (not all or even most, of course, but far too many of the most active), but that's the reality.

question. where and how do we request moderation action then?
​
Here is fine. Just don't get into a discussion here with the person your complaint is about. Interaction here is with moderators, not with other members.

Topic Drift Alert
This thread is for discussion of moderation procedures with moderators, not for members to engage in discussions with each other.
​
AbE: I didn't express that well. Discussion between members is fine, but it should be about moderator procedures, not member behavior.
