HIV Research - 2nd Edition.. There is an existing part 2 topic Closing this one down. Adminnemooseus  There was no Part II in my post or its title. My post wasn't about HIV research. Too much do-goodin' for us? Let's open an umpteenth Flood thread instead. And remind me to never let you prune my trees.  {The message concerns Team EvC @ World Community Grid. - Adminnemooseus} Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.

Folk seem to scuttle off after a post or two due to the ridicule. But under normal EvC circumstance they never do that. They ask a question that cuts to the core. Something that silences the ridiculing opponant Scuttle, iano? That's nice talk. Have you been hanging out with Dr. Davison?  Dr. Davison set the tone in his thread. He refused to present his case for the PHE, insisting instead that he be attacked. Initial, courteous questions from a succession of members were waved off with contempt. Who needs it? Unlike the usual interlocutor here, he is subject to little moderation, while the member participants are bound by the forum guidelines and can be removed at his request. Despite this uneven field, working professional scientists attempted to engage him in calm, productive discussions: that willingness was the remarkable thing, not the no-thanks attitude of the majority here. His refusal to reply substantively and to refrain from insulting ad hominem replies would get a member suspended. How many of us have to hop in the muck before we conclude it is, indeed, muck? As he says, his HEP is right out there for anyone to read. Having read the thing, I don't need to step up so that Davison can add insult to injury. Still, important ideas are not always welcomed, or their creators nice people: the Showcase is a sizeable soapbox, and it is in his hands to make of it what he will. These may be early days.
And its not like PEH fits my own views in anycase. Hop right in, then! God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ”Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’ --Ann Coulter, Fox-TV: Hannity & Colmes, 20 Jun 01 Save lives! Click here!Join the World Community Grid with Team EvC! ---------------------------------------

deerbreh writes: My vote would be to outlaw "idiot" "liar", the "f-word", "yo mama" insults and anything deemed to be the equivalent or derivitive by the moderators. Everything else goes. Does that mean I could call Ray a ninny? Or a nattering nabob of negativism? A numbskull of nincompoopery, nimieties, and niminy-piminy? If I shouldn't, I won't. I am exploring my boundaries now so that I won't have issues later. God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ”Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it.
