General discussion of moderation procedures: The Sequel

I think the above is an excellent assessment of peaceharris' efforts. A much better effort would only be possible if peaceharris was more knowledgeable of geologic methods and principles. Unfortunately, I don't believe peace thinks he is lacking any knowledge at all - a typical YEC mentality.Peace is a rare YEC because he is at least attempting to use physical evidence to bolster his position. He's failing, but at least he's trying. And similar to what moose stated, it's peace's unusual effort that has transformed the Grand Canyon thread into the perfect illustration of why early Creationists dumped the YEC position.Honestly, the only thing peace can do at this point is concede the fact that he really doesn't know enough about geology to argue his points. He knows enough to ask the right questions at times, but not enough to understand the right answers.As for Peace's suspension, I think it was earned. Adhering stubbornly to a position that has been shown to be false several times over, stifles the discussion and frustrates the entire group. Suspensions are good for reflecting back on your arguments, as well as a cooling off period - at least that's how I see them. I don't necessarily see them as punishment.

Hey Trix,Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your standing up for me. Thank you. I also wanted to say that I do think what I posted, albeit true, was suspension-worthy. After reading what I wrote in reply to Faith's latest insanity, I knew without a doubt I would be suspended for it.Second thoughts lasted a split second before I pushed the submit button.I still stand by my statements and it was worth it.Thanks again.This message has been edited by roxrkool, 05-29-2005 11:12 PM
