Healthy Debate NEW THREAD

Joined: 04/03/2012

Non profit, would you mind awfully copying mine and Rhino's "offtopic" posts here so that we can continue the discussion. I don't really want to type them out again...

Could you also explain how they where off topic so I know how to conduct myself in the future. They seemed perfectly on topic to me.

Perhaps Joshua would like to respond to my other comments here as the "God and Science" thread was also locked.

Why do the admins get so mad over a bit of healthy debate?

Should we perhaps have a new sub forum for Healthy Debate with a disclaimer that states "you might not like what is written in here because you might start questioning your beliefs so enter at your own risk"

Fearful of Debate

Hello Jeff,

Should we perhaps have a new sub forum for Healthy Debate with a disclaimer that states "you might not like what is written in here because you might start questioning your beliefs so enter at your own risk"

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think we'll leave things as they are. We're certainly not fearful of debate and always open to honest discussion. In fact, we're all about the free exchange of ideas and not threatened if someone offers an opinion we don't agree with. Although we do expect members to be civil with and respectful of those they disagree with.

Could you also explain how they where off topic so I know how to conduct myself in the future. They seemed perfectly on topic to me.

I'd be happy to. Please highlight the comment(s) you have questions about and I'll do my best to recall why admin intervention was required.

As the comments have been

As the comments have been hidden I can't recall exactly what was written.

Like I said, could you perhaps copy the comments here into this thread? As you suggested when the comments where removed.

Deleted Comments

Nothing is hidden although some comments have been deleted. If you're referring to this, then I have previously explained my rationale.

As you suggested when the comments where removed.

Sorry, I'm not understanding you. What did I suggest?

"Please highlight the comment(s)"

Nonprofit, I would like to "highlight" the comments, I can't do this if they have been deleted.

"Should you desire to continue this discussion, please feel free to create a new post."

I have created a new post to "continue this discussion". How can I continue the discussion if you have deleted the beginning of it...

I understand

Ahhhh, I understand. "Should you desire to continue..." was directed to the author whose thread you torpedoed.

"Please highlight the comment(s)..." was simply asking you to identify the discussion you were talking about.

How can I continue the discussion if you have deleted the beginning of it...

You already have. Also, the comment in question was simply an unwarranted attack on another user, so even if it was retrievable, it would remain inappropriate here.
