...and take it back to the topic in question. I have just added a moderator message there. That message includes a link back to the related discussion in this topic.Adminnemooseus

...the "Great Debate" topic Discussion of the CMI-AS debate (Meldinoor, NosyNed, Slevesque, Arphy only).Adminnemooseus

It seems that the side comments to the RAZD / bluegenes debate have very much become a debate pretty independent of that "Great Debate". That is not the intended function of this topic.Please start a new topic to cover this situation.If needed, this topic will be temporarily closed to enforce this.Adminnemooseus

Admin writes: ​ It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon. ​ There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot. ​ Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.

Admittedly, I haven't followed it closely, but I wasn't impressed with your performance in the current "Great Debate". Bluejeans seemed to be trying to do a dialog and you seemed to be doing some sort of stonewall, refusing to respond to his content. But it seemed to be some sort of prove/disprove God sort of a thing, doomed to wallow in some sort of abstract fuzziness - A wallow you seem to like. Bottom line - It was outside of my comprehension and I really didn't care.That said, for better or worse, I don't foresee you offering up anything more than what you already said in the PNT message 1. I don't see any point in again going through the same routine as the current "Great Debate".So, I'm leaning "No". If Coyote really wants to make a go of it, I'll leave it up to another admin to deal with the promotion.Or something like that (aka - You have me boggled and apathetic).Adminnemooseus

That doesn't seem to be the case, for what's currently happening.Going to give it a short term closure in ~10 minutes.Adminnemooseus

The "Peanut Gallery" topic is intended for side discussion for members not part of a one-on-one "Great Debate". I have no idea of what "Great Debate" this alleged side discussion is related to. This needs to be presented.All in all, this topic is a giant mess. Probably time to harpoon it and put it out of its misery.AdminnemooseusAdded by edit: The subtitle is not a rhetorical question. I really do want to know the answer. Please, someone reply to this message with such. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.
