This is primarily directed towards Admin in response to my suspension from yesterday. Since it is not a reply to anything already being discussed on this thread, I’m no sure how to correctly respond to Admin, so I guess I’ll post it as a General Reply.
Ok, it was only a 24 hour suspension, and I should probably just let it go. However, I’m not really sure why I was suspended, and since this is a thread dedicated to questioning the motives of the moderatorswellhere it goes.
In the Is it Science Forum, schrafinator started a thread entitled Evolutionary science is fraudulent and/or inaccurate? Eventually "Mike the wiz" responded and I responded to his post. He responded to me and I again countered, asking him to support his claim(s), actually trying to keep it on topic. Mike the wiz’s post (no. 11) was flagged as being off topic. However, in my defense, I had already started writing my response (post no. 14) and had no way of knowing that I was not supposed to respond. And my response was again an attempt to draw Mike the wiz back on topic by asking him to show me where scientists reached inaccurate conclusionsthe very essence of schrafinators challenge.
I did question why that post (no. 14) was off topic (which I still feel was not) and was simply given a 24 hour suspension. However, holmes did virtually the same (questioned why his post was off topic) and schrafinator responded to holmes, yet neither of them were suspended.
If the suspension was because I responded to post 11 after it had been flagged, I will reluctantly accept that, but nonetheless, I feel it was unwarranted, seeing as how I had no way of knowing that I was not suppose to respond. If the suspension was because I questioned why post no. 14 was off topic then that, I feel, is completely unjust. Personally, I feel that a warning would have been niceI was a bit surprised to see post no.25 informing me that I had been suspended.
I know it’s a little thing (a 24 hour suspension) but it is not in my nature to accept what I feel are unjust accusations (in this case, that I violated guideline rules). Hell, I’m still mad at a classmate that way back in second grade accused me of stealing her crayon (and I’m 45 now!
). (Just so ya knowI did not steal her crayonlol).
Anyway, I just wanted to throw a bit of a temper tantrum and try to explain my position.
