Why people want to believe there is a god.

From Adminnemooseus (Moose in admin mode):

​

Percy (aka Admin) has been busy lately, so I suspect he hasn't been monitoring the current state of this topic. If he had been, I suspect he would now be telling nos482 to tone down the hostility, under the threat of a supension of posting privileges (I don't have the powers to do such).

​

I would strongly suggest that Gene be given one last message to wrap up this LDS discussion. If the hostility continues, I will close the topic.

​

I haven't researched where this topic turned ugly. The volume of postings in this topic, and in all the topics at evscforum.net, is running beyond easy moderator control.

Well, so much for being unmoderated.

The reality is, evscforum.net is lightly moderated. Much is allowed to be said here, that is far beyond what would get you banned at other sites. Joe Meert got banned at Terry's "Talk Origins" board for statements such as "creation science is a psudoscience".Everyone, try to be nice to each other.Adminnemooseus

Is that the same Talk Origins at TalkOrigins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy ?

To call creationisn "science" even a pseudoscience is an insult.

To me, an ambiguous statement. Are you saying an insult to creationism or an insult to science?Moose (non-admin mode)----------

Plus, even on other forums what I've said here wouldn't have been grounds for being banned. From what I've seen elsewhere I've been quite mild.

I'm sure there are plenty of examples of both more extreme and less extreme degrees of moderation. I'm just trying to inject a little guidence here. I may be right, or I may be wrong, or most likely I'm a little of both. So I repeat: Everyone, try to be nice to each other.Adminnemooseus

Had to dig pretty deep, into the pile of often trite and/or redundant topics, to find this.Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere.

Terry's banning message is #19.By the way, I am feeling considerable moderators guilt, in carrying this so far of topic.Moose/Adminnemooseus

Gene: Now, I'm adding this by edit two days after I originally posted this. I want to point out that it's difficult for me to be emotionally detached from this discussion because it hits me close to home. I've debated evolution v creationism for a long time and nothing there ever bothers me but this is very different. I'm easy to offend on this topic. Given the choice I wouldn't be participating in this issue.

Schraf: I understand.

You do, of course, always have a choice on whether or not to participate.

I certainly don't find fault with either side in this Gene/Schraf discussion. Personally (non-admin mode), I would absolutely support Gene if he were to say "Enough has been said. I don't wish to any further discuss LDS theology."Moose
