General discussion of moderation procedures: The Consequtive Consecution Sequel

I am unable to reply in the Rise of Faith Schools thread in that forum and I don't see any Admin messages to me there.

Why is a thread about the subjectivity of morality in the Science fora?This message has been edited by Faith, 04-12-2006 09:24 PM

Logic is not the exclusive property of science. It belongs to all of us. How about Social and Religious Issues?Besides, it's NOT about logic. As Robin said, a logic-based morality would be an OBJECTIVE morality, and that can be derived from the authority of religious revelation, which hardly belongs in the Science fora. But this thread is about SUBJECTIVE morality, which belongs in Science even less, as it is NOT based on logic according to Robin's proposition.It belongs in Social Issues.This message has been edited by Faith, 04-12-2006 10:00 PM

You bet I'll direct my comments to the Moderation Thread, Purpledawn. I don't call people bigots. My opponents call me that. If I point out that the term fits them to a T you jump on MY case.http://EvC Forum: immigrants -->EvC Forum: immigrantsThis message has been edited by Faith, 04-13-2006 11:17 AM

I do equate it. He accused me of bigotry. I returned the compliment.

I don't think the Great Debate indicators are obvious at all. After a thread is underway it is rare for anyone to start at the OP, so the banner in that post is missed. The standard practice seems to be to go straight to the latest post displayed on the All Topics page, and for most threads this is fine. In my experience on the All Topics page nobody notices which Forum the thread is in either. I know I don't. The only way to alert people to a Great Debate topic is to put a banner notice in EACH POST or at least every few posts. I did this in the last two GDs I was in and it seemed to help, but even then if too many posts went by without a banner people would again miss the warning.This message has been edited by Faith, 04-16-2006 02:22 AM

means of course that I can't answer anyone who posts to me there, so this is an announcement to them that they won't be hearing from me there.And also to ask if those bannings are permanent or what?Thank you.

A WEEK? For a quip in response to an insult?Overreacting a bit aren't you there, Moose? A bit hair-trigger there?Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I find it hard to understand this situation. Robin has been posting at evc a long time and never been regarded as a problem poster that I'm aware of. Recently he apparently got angry at how he was being dealt with on some threads and got pushed over some line.Why did he bring that question about what he doesn't know to this thread? I took it that the other thread was shut down and that it had been shut down for some reason related to whatever it was he didn't know, and he didn't understand what that meant so he brought it here to find out, to the thread for that purpose. He sounded irritated on that thread so I'm not going to say there was NO challenge to admin being expressed, but I'd guess most of it was just to figure out what that closing was all about.In retrospect it might have been a bad idea for him to title his thread "The Problem of EvC" because that suggests something wrong with the adminstration of EvC. At one point he answered that idea very specifically saying that wasn't the case, that there's nothing wrong with EvC in its concept or administration and that he appreciates Percy specifically. So it was merely about his frustration with how some members had been dealing with him about questions he regarded as important, an atmosphere here, an attitude, apparently on the science side, about his way of approaching the questions.Maybe administration took it personally. He got irritated and testy though not anywhere near the level Percy is characterizing, and admins overreacted.That's how I read it, but he's not here to clarify and I may be misrepresenting him.

Now I get what you were saying. I didn't at first, but I just said it myself so now I get it.Yes, it seems to you and me that Robin was merely questioning the reason his thread was closed, when he asked what it is he knows so little about. That question got tagged "off topic" and jar had this apparently inexplicable response to it.From what Percy said above, that's not how he took it, and I suppose jar also read it some other way, judging from his put down about shortcomings and saying it didn't belong on this thread.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Hi Robin, you may be misremembering:I do remember seeing that phrase and have wondered where, and all I could find on a search was Supernintendo Chalmers in a post to me, one in fact that got hidden because it was part of a flameout:http://EvC Forum: What are the odds of God existing? -->EvC Forum: What are the odds of God existing?
