General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 14.0

I'm out of time this morning and don't have time to look at the thread, but it sounds like it would be worth it if Adminnemooseus wants to give the issue a second look.

I hope moderators are able to keep discussion in the gay issues threads focused on the topic and on a fair and even keel, but members who participate in such threads should recognize that for moderators this is challenging in terms of time and draining in terms of finding within themselves some hint of Solomaic wisdom.Threads on gay issues have a long history here of careening out of control. Please recognize that the resources of time and wisdom are scarce commodities, and that gay issues are not the primary focus of this creation/evolution site. Nothing against gay issues, just a fact.My own opinion is that NJ engages in gay-baiting in these threads, and that he does so subconsciously and isn't aware he's doing this. Some rise to bait and become indignant, enraged and self-righteous to the point of abusing the very moderators to whom they make their appeals. My own inclination is to disallow the topic at this site. It's divisive, it's far too consuming for our limited moderator resources, and it's a Coffee House topic.

I'd like to thank all the moderators who have given so much of themselves, some of them for years.I think EvC Forum needs one voice, one direction, so I am now the only moderator.I am closing this thread. This will be the last of the moderation threads.Please keep discussion focused and on-topic. Thanks.
