If we only could get the such as Simple ignored.
Whatever was given a short term suspension, that ended up being 48 hours.
This one I think I'll leave in Admin Percy's hands. Simple can e-mail him at admin@, if he wishes to ask to be let back in.

Bump for Admin
I suspect I've slipped another event under your radar.

The 'Simple Syndrome" vs. the "Crashfrog/NosyNed Syndrome'
Call the "Simple Syndrome" troll, willfully ignorant, or oblivious to enlightenment - It all comes to the same result.
Now, I'll define "troll" as one who deliberately posts garbage, just to cause trouble. The "willfully ignorant" are those so confidant that their position is correct that nothing is going to change their view. The subtle distinction between the "willfully ignorant" and the "oblivious to enlightenment" might be that the "oblivious" might be open to enlightenment, but are just incapable of understanding the opposing viewpoint.
Anyhow, say we got 5 creationist posters that fall under the "Simple Syndrome" classification. At the same time, we have several of the evolution side side (the "Crashfrog/NosyNed Syndrome"), that are subject to responding to most every creationist posting. Result - A mess - A lot of heat with little light. The "Simple Syndrome" member does not operate (at least well) in a vacuum. Feedback from others is part of it all.
Now, I encourage non-moderator members to function as moderating influences, in the absence of "the real thing". But "pile on" moderation is not much, if any better that "pile on" rebuttals.
There is not proper room for every so inclined evolutionist to each respond to many of the creationist postings. Each individual evolutionist needs to have restraint. Try to limit the number of your responses in an individual topic. Try to not post redundant messages. Perhaps limit yourself to certain topics of particular interest to you.
I would be great, to have a creationist moderator, to exert his/her influence on those of the "Simple Syndrome". I think that AdminTC and Adminquility (admin modes of TrueCreation and Tranquility Base) could be good at this. Alas, they were never active as moderators, and were thus retired from such status. TC currently does make an occasional appearance, but TB has totally dropped out of sight. TC, where are you? We need an active AdminTC to return.
Mike the Wiz has been showing signs of being a moderate "enlightened" creationist, of forum moderator potential. But for now, I can't help thinking "Who are you, and what did you do with the real Mike the Wiz"?
Various members, from both sides of the issue, are welcome to contact me (mnmoose@lakenet.com), with suggestions for new moderators (or even to volunteer as such). These communications will be kept private, to be only between the involved member, and those of the current "staff".
Well, I had one more point to make, but the thought has left the building.

I think the only sensible thing for me to do, is to pass this one on to AdminBrad.

ps: Pending AB's opinion, I'll tentitivly concede that you are correct.
