I see what you're saying, and it makes sense. I had in mind Rusha when I wrote that, though, and she's shown repeatedly that she not only understands but respects the principles underlying the TOL commandments.
Yep.
Maintaining the structure set forth in TOL is also a responsibility of the mod committee.
It's not just about banning those that make offensive comments.
In what way? Can you give an example of when you think I'd do the 'fair' thing over the 'right' thing?
I think some kind of cross reference between mustard preference and beard length and handgun calibur advocatcy would be just as legite as any.
I'm gonna come out as a spicy mustard, long beard .40 caliber guy.
But I could be a plain mustard, clean shaven, 9mm guy without much of a stretch.
That said, how does TOL suffer if someone isn't as biased, is by definition more fair? Who is harmed by it?
One of the few things I don't like about TOL is found in the whole bias business, politically applied. If the bias is a Christian sensibility I see it. There has to be a standard of conduct. A right wing bias just invites contempt for the rule and smacks of tariffs, that is a protection for a thing that can't stand on its own.
I don't happen to believe conservative philosophy requires extra protection and that's all it can amount to.
Mod duties consist also of cleaning up the board when a member makes several threads all of the same title or the same topic, fixing misspellings in thread titles, putting threads in the proper sections. I notice as of late that a lot the threads that belong in Religion are popping up in Politics.

I would say that depends on how one defines Christian behavior as it relates to cause and wickedness. First and foremost, in my mind, TOL is a CHRISTIAN website and, therefore, accountable to God. It is not correct Christian behavior to call people morons and retards and other belittling/demeaning names regardless. It is possible to hold to the Christian standard and simultaneously get ones point across and most of the people posting here are more than capable of doing so. Perhaps I am wrong, but I believe that this is what Knight envisioned from the gitgo....intelligent, CHRISTIAN debate and discussion not Christian-lite d&d. I recall someone posting that the bad eggs, atheists and agnostics make for a sort of necessary spiciness on the forum and I was a bit shocked by that. God wants all to come to Him and I don't believe God would approve of our abuse of people that way. I believe TOL is better than that and has much more to offer both to God and man.
Those were the days!
It was one of those people from over there.
That big island off Europe.
And it might have been mayonaise.
Instead of Mustard.
Or Prawns.
I'm not sure.
I liked the first few years after I arrived best. A real mix of voices and a lot of the more interesting members were really active. When I created the class thread I wasn't surprised at what I found in terms of membership. But maybe that's the way anyone feels over enough time. :think: Sort of the way one generation looks at the next.
TOL has been the target lately of the people that join just to cause a stir on the site. This is has been happening for the past year and a half.
The French didn't invent cotton so you don't got to cotton to anything French.
They did invent scalping people so I guess you would owe them a nod if that comes up on your daily list of things to do.

I like Delmar's mod style better. Give someone plenty of rope to hang themselves and only hand out infractions when it's obviously deserved. I appreciate the latitude given even if some posters grate me the wrong way.
Knight and Nori fill out the holes just fine in the meantime when Del's not around.
Why thank you. You are one of the few I would nominate given my hesitation to have more mods at all. You don't report posts (at least not often enough to notice), you're fair, mostly above the personal drama, etc.
Heck, I wouldn't even ban aCW if I were ever a mod. Just spammers, stalkers and those who only know how to troll. Even then I'd let it go longer than most. Trolls can be funny from time to time as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
Nearly everyone has something to contribute.
Something every homo promoter wants. Tolerate diversity? That is a great slogan.

Irrelevant and you know it. There is a creator, he left us his word, and you know it. You make this post like it is some sort of debate. Don't like my response? Don't try to hide your poison.
