Re: Banning of dangerous ideas.
Well, I am glad you haven't suspended him for more than a day at least.
I don't really know why you can't just let him talk and leave him alone. He is going on towards the end of his life, he obviously is very educated, more than most on this site, and he just has some intriguing, and unorthodox ideas he likes to share. If you feel the way he has posted them is a little contrary to your guidelines, well, so what. His posts are no where near as contrary to the rules as what Dr. A posts every day, but you just happen to like him, so you let him do whatever he wants.
I don't think it would kill you to just leave the guy alone and let him talk if he wants. He is not destroying your website, he is adding some entertainment and food for thought. Who is he hurting? He is an old guy who has spent a great deal of his life studying a serious matter. I say have some compassion, let him be.

Re: NOT SURE where to place this
Hi Bolder-Dash,
I'm sorry you're not happy with the way this site is moderated, but if you're having problems with discussion then you should be posting to the Report discussion problems here: No.2 thread. Please be specific.

Re: NOT SURE where to place this
I thought this topic was about thoughts on moderation and bannings? My remarks were ONLY about thoughts on moderation and banning, and yet you censored them.
I also thought this board doesn't erase posts? I guess that is also a lie, because what I wrote was not contrary to any of your rules. It simply was critical of your moderation. Have you now decided to start censoring any posts that are critical? If you think my post was against the rules-repost my comments and let others judge if they were in any way against any rules.
Am I now going to be suspended for talking about your moderation on a topic about moderation?

Re: NOT SURE where to place this
But Percy, my post was EXACTLY about moderation, and banning-which is the exact topic of this thread.. It could not possibly be more clear. And yet, for some reason you still chose to hide it.
