General discussion of moderation procedures: The Sequel

AdmooseI can appreciate the limitations imposed by the time that moderators can make available to this pastimes. In fact I've just been tied up in a pastime for the last 2 days will only limited additional support. However it appears to me that Faith has repeatedly instigated slanging matches and this behaviour warrants very careful supervision if she is to be allowed to continue participating on the board. Anything that she posts should be checked by the relevent moderator as a matter of priority, even at the cost of reducing monitoring of others' activities. That way other members will not be provoked into responding in kind and earning moderation censure.I wonder if Faith has serious recurring psychological problems or is on medication. Even so, such a person has to be contained within society's accepted limits or removed from society. I ran into someone with a similar tag in a MSN board who had somewhat similar behavious some time ago.

AdminI agree. Many creationists are able to remain civil in the face of those who disagree with their worldview and the "evidence" whch they offer. I think the problematic features of Faith are that she periodically loses her grip and lashes out and, as she has previously admitted, she is sure that she is right and is impervious to contrary evidence or reason. Anyone engaging with her needs to be remined of this so that they are aware that they are participating in a game rather than a serious debate.However I think that opponents of Faith should also be given latitude when she loses the plot and her opponents respond in kind.
