what is your intention Sizzle? Do you have censorship in mind? I don't think that anyone here wants this. Why don't you either present a reasoned argument for evolution or run along and play with the crazies on hd.

I'll take it on.

So far this tribe has been "mostly civil" with no moderator. Really, if I thought it was a problem, I would just unsubscribe. It's an obscure tribe with very little traffic.

Either way, I don't see why Dan should be banned in any case. Totally unmoderated, he has not descended into direct name calling and threats or obstructive trolling behavior. Also, he is the only regularly posting creationist. There is an evolution-only tribe already for non-creation discussions.

Considering the contentious nature of the subject matter, everyone has been surprisingly civil. Mostly.




I do not respect your incomprehensible beliefs, but I will fight to defend your right to express them.

When they came for the creationists...

This tribe was started by "Nexxus" who I believe was a good moderator. She left the tribe when she became a new mother and had better things to do. The tribe languished after she left, although it was never a hopping place... it seems it was just me arguing with Dan for a long, long time. There are a few more people contributing now, but I have not seen any problems, so I am not sure why we need a moderator. My experience has been that new moderators seem to fall prey to the power syndrome and end up causing more harm than good. I would vote to not have a moderator, or alternately I nominate myself and promise to let people do what they will, unless things really get out of hand and lots of bad feelings are being aroused in which case I point out their bad behavior to the best of my ability and that would be about it. I don't think banning people makes much sense.
