General discussion of moderation procedures - Part οκτώ

Unfortunately, Neutralmind did not link to any thread or post that he considers an example of the problem. Without an example, it is a bit difficult to know what the problem is supposed to be.

AdminPD did not flag your entire post. She flagged only the part where you were becoming too personal and confrontational. And that part was off topic.

I can't speak for PD, but it seems off topic to me.The topic had to do with whether you believe the Bible is the word of God. It was not a topic on whether you believe God exists, except that non-existence might be a reason to not believe it is the word of God.The post in question does not appear to mention the question from the OP.

And you respond with arguments or half arguments that crashfrog feels compelled to respond to. And then you respond with what crashfrog likely perceives as insults. And thus the cycle continues.Neither you nor crashfrog seems to know how to disengage from a "conversation" that you probably both find disagreeable.You feel compelled to respond. You need to apply your knowledge of your own psychology to try understand crashfrog's psychology well enough to avoid making him feel compelled to further respond. Sometimes a simple "That's a misunderstanding of my position, but I won't respond further since this is off topic" might be enough to disengage. And sometimes it is best to not respond at all.

It is that kind of remark that is likely to result in holmes feeling compelled to respond.I'd like to suggest that you each try to avoid hints that you are ascribing motives to the other.

---

I'm calling that the last word on the holmes-initiated subtopic here. Let's not make this into a debate about members.Future debating of the subtopic will be labelled as off-topic.

This is not the place. You are off-topic for this thread.

I am not seeing any problem with firefox, with opera, or with konqueror.So I booted to windows, and tried IE6. Sure enough, it is ridiculously wide. I cannot find any reason for this. It seems to be an IE6 bug.But I will look some more.

I'll add a little more info here.The problem is in message 246. I determined this by starting an administrator edit on several messages, which displays that single message above the edit screen. Message 246 displays far too wide. (I did not save my "edit" results).In message 246, there is a paragraph that begins with the sentence "But we don't know what the fraction was for homozygous versus heterozygous." (without the quotes). That paragraph shows up as 7 lines in the edit window, 4 lines on my firefox display. IE is attempting to display that as one very long line. I was unable to find a reason for this, except a possible bug in IE.I wonder what IE7 does with that line
