Observations Of Communication
Hi Rand. I'm plugging to get you out in the forums where I think you're needed, so I'm citing these examples of problems which hinder this to happen. It's not that these would be considered so bad on rare occasion, but it appears that these inflamitory remarks are what continually get you in hot water. My suggestion is that you work to choose less inflamitory means of conveying your messages to counterparts in debate. If we all seek to keep the peace, the time and effort we put into these discussions becomes a whole lot more pleasant.
There are times when one's opponent may violate the standards of peaceful dialog/debate. However, if each of us concentrates on our own conduct, regardless of what we see someone else do to us, at least our own record is not damaged and that's what each of us needs to concentrate on. Eventually other violators will be called on the carpet also if they persist in inflamitory remarks.

ABE: For clarification, it may be that you or I may regard some aspects of evolution science as not being precise. Imo, it would not be wrong to cite such aspects with evidence. It's when we make generalized statements implicating all, i.e. "you evos" that makes the term problematic.

Re: Observations Of Communication
I hear you Rand, but I don't do a lot of reading, thus not a lot of moderating. The reason I cited you here is because I really want your stuff out in the science forums. I don't know whether that will happen, but I'm working at it. I have only read this page with a critical eye and I noted the two cited examples just in this small segment of your input. Not good.
Again, I don't know how much you want to be in the forums, but if you want out there please listen. Imo, you have a lot to contribute to the creationist debate, regardless of whether our counterparts agree. We need you and you need us. Forget what others are doing and keep your own nose clean, so to speak. Folks in Showcase are somewhat on probation, so critical eyes are on you. Don't give reason for complaint and you'll do fine.

Is it too difficult for you to answer ? There is a point to it.
Hi PaulK. I suggest we not belabor this in this thread. You're implication here that Rand may be incapable of answering your question is also somewhat inflamitory. I'm quite sure that it would be an easy task for him but to get into this here may lead on a rabbit trail.
