You know me, I don't like suspensions until it is the only option left.
What I am going to suggest to Des is that for now, she limit her postings to
A Little Rant for Desdamona in the FFA
Big Bang Problem in Big Bang and Cosmology
A Fatal Logical Flaw in Creationism in ID
She currently isn't in any active F&B threads, though I wouldn't be against giving her one outlet there also.
This is subject to change according to Des's acceptance of forum etiquette and
Forum Guidelines.
1. Des must show that she is capable of following a topic of conversation. I realize that we are all guilty of going off topic on occasion, and I have no problem with that, but Des has a heavy history of not being able to follow the topic. She hasn't been here long enough to have accumulated such a history except by design. I ask all participants to help by not responding to off topic posts.
2. Des must totally understand the concept of citing sources and supporting claims. She needs to learn what a primary source is, what hearsay means and the difference between a claim and a belief.
3. Des needs to learn to write in a manner that does not leave her opponents shuddering when they think that she is home-school teacher.
Sylas's excellent post
Style Guide for EvC should be one of the first pinned topics when that option becomes available to us.
