Re: admin buz
First, it's questionable to be posting and moderating in the same thread. If you're going to use nwr as a model poster, use Percy as a model admin.
Second, it's questionable to use your admin status in a partisan manner to defend your buddy's bullshit.
Third, it's laughable to use your admin status in such a petty manner - to bitch about one little word.

I'll leave it for other admins to rule on, given the controversial aspect of it.
Now you've got it right.

Crankiness sometimes tends towards uncivil and inflamitory behavior.
Maybe some members are just too flammable.
(Amazing how you can misspell "inflammatory" even when you quote it. )
King Solomon said something like a soft answer turns away wrath.
quote:
Pro 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
That cuts both ways. A soft answer turneth away brenna's wrath too.

Why is it that the person who made the original insults is so sacrosanct as to be above even the mildest admonishment as an individual?
Because there's a close correlation between bigotry and creationism and we have a shortage of creationists. If we get rid of the bigots, there won't be any creationists left and we might as well call the site E.
It's complicated by the fact that one of the most outspoken and vilest bigots is also one of the most articulate creationists and an admin (and we need creationist admins, so the mantra goes).
The double standard is there by design.

It seems to be your position that creationists will not participate on this forum unless they are allowed to compare gay people to rapists and pedophiles.
No, that's the position of the management (though they won't put it quite that bluntly).
And for the record, I never said anything about "getting rid" of anyone.
Understood. And if Nemesis_Juggernaut - to pick a random example - was admonished for his bigotry, I don't think it would chase him away from the rest of the board. But that seems to be the official fear.
