General discussion of moderation procedures - Part οκτώ

Well, I guess I can't let my lone defender go it alone like this. Suffice to say that there's an avid discussion on this topic going on right now in the private admin forum, so I'm not sure why Buzsaw saw the need to make further public comment while the admin discussion is still in progress, but anyway: I think it would be illuminating for you and any other interested moderators to present some actual passages of me doing this, naturally being sure to provide any context necessary to making an accurate presentation.Insight and understanding develops out of discussion, so I see this as healthy. It should help us all reach a better understanding of what constitutes constructive discussion.--Percy

I didn't single you out for bringing this public. I was just wondering why you saw the need to make *further* public comment while there was an active discussion in progress in the admin forum. Neither do I. He called it as he saw it. This is what I ask all administrators to do. He acted in good faith. But as has been pointed out in the admin forum, there are a couple very fundamental issues critical to the nature of debate here at EvC Forum which perhaps didn't receive adequate attention. Or any attention at all, actually, which has me perplexed. But more on that when the discussion is concluded. Yes, of course it's all public. But I do request that if you're going to continue making characterizations of offensive and demeaning behavior while the admin discussion is ongoing that you support these assertions with specific citations that include sufficient context to accurately characterize things.--Percy

After your Message 201, which is the message I was responding to? No they didn't.Yours was the only public comment after the discussion in the admin forum began. That's what I just finished saying: "I was just wondering why you saw the need to make *further* public comment while there was an active discussion in progress in the admin forum."My only point is that in the interests of fairness I don't think it right to keep repeating things along the lines of "demeaning and offensive comments" without providing some substantiation. I think serious issues have been raised concerning such a characterization in the admin forum. Perhaps in the end we'll conclude that my behavior was offensive, in which case I'll take full responsibility, but the other outcome is possible, too, so I think this it inappropriate to keep repeating the charge publicly while the issue is still being discussed privately.But if you want to continue repeating it, I think it only fair that it be substantiated by citing the relevant portions in context and making clear what is wrong with them in light of the Forum Guidelines.--Percy
