If you have a suggestion for improving my writing style, please let me know.
Your writing style is fine. It's just hard for us non-philosophy folks to wrap our minds around what you try to say, especially for those of us who have spent years hating the post-modern style.
If a someone must be blamed for the communication difficulties, it'll have to be me. I consider myself to be somewhat of a minimalist, and it is far easier for someone like you to understand me than it is for me to understand you. So technically speaking, it is I who should be improving my reading skills to catch up with your writing style.

This is NOT the place for such discussion. Anyone responding to this will be suspended.

Re: AdminPD's warnings are misguided

The originator of the topic gave examples which show that "dumb" was used as in "not brilliant" and possibly "not logical", but there is no implication that "dumb" referred to immorality.
I normally don't want to argue with an admin, but this time I have to say something. I see morality as having a direct connection to "not brilliant" and "not logical". For example (and please understand I'm only pointint out an example to show my case), God gave moses the 10 commandments, one of which forbids the act of murder. He then later commanded his chosen people to murder innocent women and children. Yes, they were at war but only the dumbest of a whole line of dumb gods couldn't make the connection that murdering innocent women and children had absolutely nothing to do with their war campaign.
This is why I said my atheistic morality seemed to be superior to that of god's. In this particular case, reason and logic actually play a role in determining the morality, or immorality, of the situation.

Re: Neutralmind: General Comments on Forum Behavior
I agree with AdminNWR. You've failed to provide a single shred of evidence for us to nitpick.

Re: OT posts made invisible
"the possibility of collapsing OT posts (by vote or something) so that only the relevant posts appear with a personal option to see all of them" = more work.
I think Percy said somewhere before that he who proposes implements.

Yet another incarnation of foxjoe, jazzjoe, etc.
I'm just curious. It has become apparent that some people, whether they're spammers or just trolls, continue to come back with new usernames. Is there a reason why you guys don't IP ban?

While I am beginning to understand your past frustration with holmes, I'd have to say that I haven't seen any rule putting limits and restrictions on the types of POTM being nominated. I say let Tuddy nominate whoever he likes.
PS - Believe you me, I'll respond to holmes when they reopen the thread.

It used to be fun here correcting all the odd balls, I enjoyed many a read over a cup of tea before I became a member here, but now I just feel that the mods are jumping on everyone, the proposed new topics is a pain in the arse, the showcase is an embarrassment, and the site is becoming extremely boring.
I completely agree. Sometimes I feel like the mods purposely leave a proposed new topic hanging in limbo for days and days and days.
Make CK president of EvC!!!
I'd go with Prime Minister CK. Percy can be the queen... king of EvC.
