General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 14.0

It is best not to make requests to a specific admin, but to allow any admin to respond. In any case, I responded.I have suspended obvious Child for 24 hours, consistent with the warning of Message 178.Had it not been for that specific warning, I would not have given the suspension. It seems to me that there were two people goading each other. However, only one continued after the warning, so the penalty in the warning has been applied.

I took him as asking an admin to adjudicate on whether he was required to define "intelligence."In a sense, his opening post implicitly defines "intelligence" to be the same as "instinct". Unsurprisingly, people disagree.

A suspended member can send an email to an admin, asking that it be posted on their behalf. Several of the admins make their email address accessible.Of course, the admin would use his/her judgement on whether to post the email content. But if it is a reasoned argument and not an inflammatory reaction, it would likely be posted.Note: I am not opposed to your idea of allowing suspended members to post in this thread, but that would probably require changes to the site software, so might not be easy to implement.

This is not a debate thread. Your question is off-topic for this thread.

That is not what you were doing in Message 103 to which I had replied.You have continued to debate in this thread, despite the earlier warning.
