Christopher Bohar's Debate Challenge

While the language usage standards at the board is much looser than at other boards (ie. Terry's Talk Origins), the use of such things as the "barnyard epitaphs" is still frowned on. Please desist in using such terms.Thanks,

While I have a certain agreement with Q's recent statement (and I did make a comment back in message 2), I find that I must be in full agreement with Budikka's content of message 44. There is a lot being posted here, that is totally irrelevant to the topic. I think, for example, that TC's message 41 is totally without any relevant content.I had just left another topic, where I was truly impressed by the quality of Budikka's messages - very long, but full of content.People - If you have something relevant to post, post away. But one needs to try to supress urges to post "irrelevant blather".This message also functions as a flag, for me to give this topic a little special attention.I certainly encourage "non-admin" moderating efforts, such as mentioned by both Q and Budikka. Especially by the originator of the topic. There is way to much happening, for the three designated administrators to effectivly monitor and control. And things would grind to a big, messy halt, if administrators were to try to "nit-pick" on the quality of messages.I try to remember to post my e-mail address, as my "signature". The other admins also have e-mail addresses available.Adminnemooseus

I request that all take the off-topic discussion (concerning moderating procedures) to the "Nos and Nos-like behavior" topic at http://EvC Forum: Nos and Nos-like behavior -->EvC Forum: Nos and Nos-like behaviorAdminnemooseus------------------

The topic starter feels that this thread has gone way off topic, productive discussion has ceased, and it is now going around in circles. He has recommended (ie requested) that it be closed.So be it done.Adminnemooseus------------------
