AdminNosy banned?

All I know is that he banned himself....

Yeah, I noticed that, too.I recall long ago (before he became Admin, I think) that he wrote a post saying he was sick of the whole argument and was leaving. He eventually came back, though.

That's unfortunate. At least it is voluntary on their part? (I'm still smarting over Faith's banning.)

This is Percys site and Percy is the Boss. I dont know the particulars of why Omni and Jar chose to step away from the building, and I dont really feel Percy owes anyone an explanation either. Quite simply, this is Percys ship and not Jars nor anyone elses.

Sure. And if Percy wants to sail his ship alone with the few people who share his vision of where the ship is going, that's fine to.Brian, I think, was suggesting that if Percy is interested in maintaining an interesting diversity among the participants here then he might want to alleviate the concerns generated by what may be the beginnings of an implosion.

Kings were put to death long before 21 January 1793. But regicides of earlier times and their followers were interested in attacking the person, not the principle, of the king. They wanted another king, and that was all. It never occurred to them that the throne could remain empty forever. -- Albert Camus

Thanks for this post, Percy. I appreciate it.

I'm sorry to see you go nwr. I didn't always agree with your positions, but I found your contributions valuable.As you say, you must choose your own path. But I hope that one day, perhaps soon, your path will lead you back here.Cheers.

If Faith had been an evolutionist she would have been permanently suspended a long long long long time ago.

I don't know if I quite agree with this. There is one on the evo side who is almost as bad as Faith and, in fact, for a period of time was behaving in a far worse manner than Faith ever did. I don't want to mention any names, just giving my opinion.On the other hand, I do agree that for a while the creationists were given more breaks than the evos. Personally, I don't find anything necessarily wrong with that; in my rather biased opinion creationists need all the breaks they can get. However, I can see the counter-argument that this is unfair.However, I don't notice it as much as a problem currently. Maybe I'm not reading enough threads, but it seems that moderation in general has lightened up considerably overall. Most moderation I see now is mostly when the name-calling gets serious or the thread goes off-topic; it's not consistently applied, but I don't notice much bias here as much as it seems that sometimes it's caught and sometimes it's not, or some days patience is wearing thinner than other days.Anyway, just expressing my opinion. Besides, I like Faith, even when she calls me names.

Or make us all admins! Hmm. AdminChiroTheGreat....

I can't remember: did Rob quit voluntarily, or was he suspended? I can't find his account info in the members list.Edited to add:Never mind, I found a post he wrote and was able to view his topics page. He is inactive, which suggests he was booted. No button for his profile. So, do inactive members have no profile page, and therefore do not show up on the membership list?Edited by Chiroptera, : No reason given.

It seems that Ringo also decided to leave.Everything I said about nwr also applies here. I'm sorry to see you go and hope that one day you'll be back.

Yup. There it is in my profile page: the inactivate button. Thanks, Percy.

Thanksgiving Day Massacre indeed! Although it seems not so much a single massacre but a series of dominoes knocking each other down.

Huh. The creationists are right, then. Modern cosmology is a disruptive force in social stability. I hope cavediver is happy.

My thoughts will be with you, holmes. Good luck.
