Where in the Coffee House

quote:
Regarding behavior, it is anathema on nearly all boards for moderators to debate on behalf of their own ideological positions in threads they are debating in as Admin and AdminPD have done on this board, both in the science forum and the Coffee House Forum as I have cited.

What thread are you talking out specifically? I looked at the what I've done as AdminPD back to 2007 and I don't see anything related to you in the Coffee House.

I'm also having difficulty finding anything where we've discussed the Roman Catholic Church.

Would you please provide a link to the offending thread?

Thanks

No Bias Just Constructive Criticism

I'm referring to Message 77 Message 106 and Message 108 of the thread, How New Testament Fundi Christians Bless Atheists, Roman Catholics And Others (Forgot how to access the tid#.

I see your moderating was as member but, nevertheless moderating me via your member account, prefaced by your messages in the PNT pertaining your reluctance to promote the thread relative to you opinion about evidence. I can't find the PNT thread but perhaps it was deleted when you later suggested via messaging me that I go ahead and do the OP??

IOW, you're assuming moderation from my member mode because of constructive criticism I provided in a PM in Admin mode before you posted the topic yourself.

There was no bias concerning the topic itself and since you wanted it in the Coffee House anyway, nothing stopped you from posting it.

Oddly enough, I was trying to help.

As far as in the thread, I wasn't moderating. I was trying to participate. There was no switching back and forth from my member mode to my Admin mode to moderate which is what you implied in Message 128.

No evolutionist was required to produce evidence in the Coffee House forum by PD, who moderated me while debating her position demanding that I produce evidence on a debatable non-science Coffee House Topic.

Looks like a case of reverse bias to me. Sorry that's electrical.

Suffice it to say, you're not the only one whose been a victim of bias.

Re: Where in the Coffee House

The PNT thread is easily found and contains no posts from AdminPD.

I gave constructive criticism over PM to avoid causing a bias in the thread because I was suggesting that he needed to provide some links and support.

AdminPD writes:

I'm not inclined to promote your topic, mainly because you've provided no links or solid information to support your claims.

IIRC, you have breached this topic within threads before so you should have support for your claims.

If you don't do it in the OP, there will be a slew of short posts asking you to provide support. You know that as well as I do.

If you have no support, then there isn't any point in going forward with the topic.

AdminPD, my understanding is that the Coffee Shop topics need not be promoted by admins. I usually do so, in case another forum should be utilized. This is not the science forum. It's the Coffee House. History attests to my points. If you refuse to promote I'm going to the whine thread and aire my complaint.

IMO, Coffee House topics should not be subjected to your indological approval. I hope you will reconsider. Thanks, Buz

Then just post it in the Coffee House instead of the PNT.

Buzsaw writes:

Thanks very much, AdminPD. I forgot that we could do that. I've spent some time getting up some evidence. The only questionable assertion is the 100 million killed by communists last century. I see the figure is realistically somewhere between 60,000,000 and 100,000,000. I'll get to some of that down thread.

Perhaps when I get it on you can weigh in to make some provacative points.

AdminPD writes:

Sorry, forgot this part also.

The Title: How New Testament Fundi Christians Bless Atheists, Roman Catholics And Others

The body of the OP doesn't show us the blessing bestowed by the Fundis. Instead it covers the negative issues you feel Atheists, etc. bring to the world.

You may need to change the title or rework the OP. They aren't consistent.

Still need support for whichever avenue you choose.

I guess I didn't weigh in on the points he wanted. Last time I try to help.
