Has the bias made this forum essentially irrelevant?

How would you know, I hardly used any numbers at all?

So, you started a thread questioning if natural selection worked, and when evidence was provided that it did you tried to broaden the subject, instead of starting a new topic. (Random mutations are not and never have been a part of natural selection.).Then you tried posting a thread on a very broad topic, against forum policy and the moderators actually followed forum policy instead of doing what you wanted !And then you were allowed to start a thread asserting that all the evidence for evolution was found in bacteria and thus evolution should be characterised as explaining everything in terms of changing bacterial diets. And so you got subjected to evidence contrary to your assertion ! You are actually literally complaining that it is wrong to allow people to post factual evidence against your claims !And then you object to a perfectly fair comment from Admin simply giving a personal opinion on the disagreement.I think we can conclude that your problem is not that moderation is biased. Your problem is that it is NOT grossly biased in your favour.

Nope. Wrong again.'Dog' is not a "description of an observation". It is a label - or to give it the correct name: noun.
'Carrot' is not a "description of an observation". It is a label - or to give it the correct name: noun.
'Natural Selection' is not a "description of an observation". It is a label - or to give it the correct name: noun. So you didn't know that 'muffin' and 'top' were words until recently. That speaks volumes about your education.
But ultimately, your level of education does not affect reality.'Natural Selection' is a noun - no matter how many toys you throw out of your pram.

My dog weighs has curly hair. Carrots are orange.How much does natural selection weigh?

The clearest way to show evidence of bias is if you act impeccably politely, report any issues in the moderator reporting thread as early as possible and don't react to anyone that might be trying to rattle your cage.If you still find moderators actively biased against you, this would be a lot clearer to more people.The alternative tactic of causing a big fuss, calling people names, sarcasm, complaining in a series of different threads about the bias of the moderators and the perceived shortcomings of others is doomed to fail. If there is bias, that self-same bias will prevent it from being clear under such muddy circumstances.The days when the moderators used to suspend a lot more regularly for respect related infractions was kind of good, but we were accused of bias then, too.I know you are capable of polite discourse, so keep that side of it up.

If there is some specific incident where you see that I am being very impolite in stark contrast to the other very well mannered posters here, could you please point that out to me. Otherwise I don't have the faintest idea what you are talking about.But your comments are not unexpected all the same.

So in a thread about the bias of the moderation you would like me to talk about?The incredible insulating power of goose down? The weather?

I don't know. How much does a burn weigh?

There is no moderation in any of those three posts Buz, just another member here asking you for the thing you NEVER provide, and that is evidence Buz.Where is the evidence?

I believe that many productive arguments have been held at these forums, or else, why then discuss anything here?Many long time posters have a tendency to argue positions and views.To try to clarify a productive debate vs. a non-productive one let me propose two debates:In the first debate both individuals only agree there is an issue worth discussing and debating. Both individuals are open minded in their opinions.After much debate the two have scrutinized the data of their topic and arrive to two different conclusions, while both agreeing both are potentially false until they discover more evidence. or perhaps let’s say they both come to the conclusion the topic is purely subjective when interpreting. (Such as Plato would suggest when attempting to discover definitions of words like 'friendship’ in which he simply leads the reader to discover their own understanding of why or how they choose friends)In the second debate, which would be a better model for debates here: you have two or more individuals with a decided position who argue the evidence that supports their conclusion and the first one that walks away could be considered the least evidenced (even if this is not the case)I believe if many here could learn to debate more along the first method; that it would better convince those like-mindedthat is: in the pursuits of investigating their own knowledge and beliefs on topics: to stay and learn. In a nutshell : Debate methodology could be the cause of waning activity, as well as: lack of scientific support for a creator that could give people who believe in God leverage for debate.Edited by tesla, : typing errors

IOW, you're assuming moderation from my member mode because of constructive criticism I provided in a PM in Admin mode before you posted the topic yourself.There was no bias concerning the topic itself and since you wanted it in the Coffee House anyway, nothing stopped you from posting it.Oddly enough, I was trying to help.As far as in the thread, I wasn't moderating. I was trying to participate. There was no switching back and forth from my member mode to my Admin mode to moderate which is what you implied in Message 128. Looks like a case of reverse bias to me. Sorry that's electrical. Suffice it to say, you're not the only one whose been a victim of bias.

I gave constructive criticism over PM to avoid causing a bias in the thread because I was suggesting that he needed to provide some links and support. I guess I didn't weigh in on the points he wanted. Last time I try to help.

If you want to exhibit your ignorance of grammar, you could make this at least tangentially related to the topic by claiming that "bias" is a preposition or that "forum" is a conjunction.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.
