And here's another personal attack, a very long character assassination rant:

And while I'm at it, I don't think AZPaul should have been allowed to get away with this attack on another poster either:

Oh, Faith, you started a thread called "The Bully Swarm Thread". You were making a pre-emptive personal attack on anyone at all who joined that thread and disagreed with you. Now you wish to complain.

I'm happy to take the punishment too. Time the whole place stopped doing this.

Have you decided what it is, as well? Since you can't be slapped on the wrist over the internet, would it involve an admit saying "tsk tsk"?

It's usually a period of suspension, following a warning. Or that's the way it used to be.

Well, apparently not. So if it's "time the whole place stopped doing this", then perhaps the onus would be on you to take the first step.

I don't think AZPaul should have been allowed to get away with this attack on another poster
That was pretty good, wasn't it? That slow twisting of the knife was quite well done, I thought.
You have already admonished me for this transgression. And I accepted (kinda) that you did so with some validity, not that much will change when some self-absorbed pompous idiot (other than me) fills an entire thread with his delusional inanity.
Still, as recompense, shall I suspend myself for 48 hours? Would this make you happy? Give me the word. I shall accept your punishment and consider it well deserved.
That really was pretty good, though, wasn't it.
Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

I don't normally moderate religious threads, but I did check in on that thread in response to Faith's complaint. I hadn't read any ScottRP messages before, and seeing some for the first time it sturck me that his many one-line and/or very brief messages are determinedly platitudinous and avoid engaging responses in a meaningful way. Vaguely mystical spiritual comments do not a discussion make. Your own message was over-the-top, but just what is the right response to someone who doesn't seem to care about the poor impression he's making (he seemed fairly clueless to me), nor about what a waste he's making of all the efforts to engage in discussion with him.
That's my frank opinion, but perhaps I'm insufficiently understanding of the religious mindset, so maybe it's good that I don't usually moderate religious threads.

The problem is that Scott RP should probably have been called on the carpet himself some time ago, but I still don't think anyone should tear up somebody's character the way you did. At this point I'm happy that Percy is going to be watching things a bit better so no need to go away now.

Since Faith has explicitly admitted she isn't attempting to do science, the "Origin of the Flood Layers" thread should not be in a science forum.

I could do that, but I'd want Faith's assent first. Given that a primary goal of creation science is to satisfy scientific criteria as much as possible, I was hoping Faith might reconsider her approach eschewing science.
But if Faith, too, would prefer another venue then the possibilities are Faith and Belief and Free For All.
