PEH closed

Thread closed - and unusually - the closer remains anonymous. As does the reason for closure

Any explanation?

Re: PEH closed

There may be something going on here in an area to which I am not privy. If so, there is no need for urgency in responding to my enquiry. If some greater goal is served then let it lie for now.

Re: PEH closed

I missed your post sorry.

In your reasoning for closing the thread you mentioned that the thread was pointless whereas a point was most certainly given. Could you comment on how a thread with an express point can be labelled pointless?

In the thread I mentioned that I was open to suggestion as to improvements for a time saving standard letter. This can obviously no longer occur.

You also suggest that people are free to take up my suggestion for petitioning messrs Dembski and Dawkins to challenge John A. Davisons position here at EvC. However, having closed the thread almost instantly, it will fall to the bottom and off peoples viewing pane - denying them exposure to the idea. Thus ensuring that they are unlikely to be free to take up my suggestion.

Comments?

Re: PEH closed

Rapidly? It didn't even get of the ground to go anywhere rapidly. My comment: "your absence from the relevant thread" dealt with the objection that 3 posters made which simply denigrated John an/or his argument. That their comments are hollow is made manifest from their unwillingness to put their convictions to the test. Did one of them even attempt to gain entry to the Showcase PEH thread?

Wounded King didn't get that response for obvious reasons - but the thread was closed before I could respond to him.

Your proper role would have been to warn those posters that their comments were off topic. The OP didn't say anything about debating the wisdom of the suggestion and that is all the posters were doing. Why didn't you warn them off instead of closing the thread?

And yes, it will quickly fall off the first page. The fact that you missed my message was yet another indicator of why the thread was going nowhere. The balance of the thread is folk saying that it is a bad idea and you responding with your message of absence. They were coming so fast that my closing message got passed like it was standing still.

Dear oh dear....

Forget it Jar, I'll ask Percy to comment.
