Surprised by a debating PNT
Rays recent PNT, Message 1, is rather odd.
I think it is clear what Ray wants to debate, his position is
ray writes:
The Scots are claiming to be ancestors of scattered 10 tribe Israel.
And he provides his support. Its not a well detailed PNT, but I'm not sure what else could be added to it really. I am surprised at the reaction it has received. Surely Brian's response is in breach of the guidelines regarding respect?
AdminBrian writes:
Drugs are for mugs mate.
When the narcotics have worn off
And then begins to debate the topic with Ray. Is this not using Admin powers to debate a post before it has been promoted? Is this proper? It doesn't seem like good form.
Incidentally, I mean no ire or venom by my comments - I'm just concerned about precedent and the noble cause of holding mods to a higher standard. In actuality the only poster that has been really inline in that thread is Nosy.
Brian can clearly see what Ray wants to debate, but has not promoted it. The only reason he seems to have given is that Ray is wrong. I see an interesting debate here and I hope it gets promoted.

abe: It just got promoted, disregard that part

Re: Surprised by a debating PNT
I don't think this was meant as disrespect on Brian's part. When I read the exchanges between Brian and Herepton, I get the impression that they actually like each other, and this may have been intended to be good-natured ribbing on Brian's part.
I see your point, Brian isn't a bad egg. Still, doing it whilst wearing an Admin hat is...
acutally I'm not sure what the word is. Dissapointing is not quite right, certainly not upsetting, jarring? I don't know, but its certainly feels like its something.
