Plea for Calm
Please refrain from posting while feeling particularly passionate.

Administrative Note
I'd again like to request that members refrain from posting while feeling particularly impassioned.

Administrative Note
If I could elaborate on my earlier request to not post while too impassioned, on the flip side those with their fingers on other peoples' hot buttons should not try to turn administrative requests to their advantage. Exhibiting a cool rather than impassioned demeanor while making outrageous statements can also be highly inflammatory. I don't really care what style people employ in being inflammatory, it is merely the fact that they are being inflammatory that I care about.
Hopefully this more complete statement will prove helpful.
Please, no replies.

You certainly don't have to agree with me, and can question my position firmly. But please no name calling (i.e. that's just stupid/BS), guilt by association, nor extrapolating my arguments to cover activity I have already rejected. On that last point, if you think my rejection is inaccurate and want to use a reductio, please make a clear argument as to how my position would lead to such activity, rather than rely on incredulity.
Please leave moderation issues to the moderators. If you feel you're experiencing difficulties that aren't being addressed, please post to the Windsor castle thread.
Please, no replies.
Edited by Admin, : Add last sentence.

That you did not understand what a hidden premise was, is rather clear. And of course you will know without question whether you have taken a course in elementary logic or not. If you have not, then I would recommend it so that you will not make such errors in the future and will improve your ability to analyze your own arguments.
Please keep your focus on the discussion and not on any supposed deficiencies of your opponents. If you feel you are having a problem with any message or person, please post a note to Windsor castle.

Re: An impasse or an opportunity
To everyone,
Stile writes:
In my experience, no one ever "goes up the chain" to seach through a thread anyway. So, if you know where something is, and think it's of importance, it's best to just show it again. I feel that since I wrote it I best know where to look for it, and it's only courteous to provide it for anyone else who may be looking.
Except in those cases where someone obviously hasn't read the thread and can therefore appropriately be advised to just read the thread, it is most helpful when giving a reference backthread to provide a message number. This usually requires that you first find the message yourself, at which time it is often discovered that the point you thought was made in that message does not apply as readily to the current context as you thought. Good to know when that's the case. But if the message contains the information you want, provide a link to it using the [msg] dBCode, as in [msg=-246] to refer to Stile's message that I'm replying to, which provides a nice link like this: Message 246. If you want the message's title included, just remove the minus sign: Message 246.
