Moose, in this post that you complained to me about going off topic, did you perhaps fail to notice that I suggested that ILG start a new thread, and again later suggest he join an existing thread?

Might you be inappropriately using your Admin status to lean on me, perhaps because you are resentful of what happened to you in the Misunderstanding Empiricism thread?

quote: Please show where I "demanded" a response. Quote me directly, please. Even if I did "demand" a response, though, I just agreed with you that: Nobody forces anybody to post here. Posting here is 100% dependent upon the person choosing to post. If he doesn't want to respond, then nothing in the world can force him to, right?
quote: Useless? Not at all. Pointing out hypocrisy and fallatious reasoning is never useless. We can discuss Pertophysic's claims without him, and we can discuss how easy it is for people to self-delude.

If he doesn't want to respond, then nothing in the world can force him to, right? quote: So, what? Does that mean that the person being asked to address rebuttals, that they have thus far avoided can do so indefinitely, and nobody is allowed to call them on it lest AdminPD suspend them? Doesn't this simply allow people to simply repeat their position over and over again instead of addressing rebuttals, thus making any discussion impossible? Doesn't this, in fact, encourage posters to simply ignore rebuttals altogether, as a debate tactic? We see it all the time here, and moderators rarely step in, even though such behavior violates rule #4: Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions. Shouldn't such avoidant tactics be subject to moderator censure? Shouldn't posters who wish to continue on this board without having their avoidant debate tactics pointed out to them be encouraged to debate honestly instead of protected from those who try to shine the bright light of free open debate upon their claims?

quote: Well, no, that's not accurate. He provided an example of what he thought was a test with a positive outcome; the story of "reading the mind" of his 9 year old son. He presented this as evidence. I pointed out some flaws of this test. He ignored my post. Again, PD, you failed to actually address anything in the post you are replying to and are simply restating what you already said.

quote: Er, so a lie, or a statement that is in direct opposition to known facts can suddenly become the truth, or not contradict known facts if the person stating them holds a particular ideology? Like, the Earth actually becomes flat if someone's idealogy states that it is?

quote: He hasn't alienated me, and I don't find him objectionable. And he and I have gone around a couple of times, too, before you jump to the wrong conclusion. The truth is, I don't think Crash is particularly interested in being a moderator. Moderating means suffering fools, and I don't think he much enjoys that.

CS attacked Brenna with a very personal, abusive ad hominem in Message #253 of the IUD thread.
I'd suspend him myself but I'm participating in the thread.
