> I propose that Bob is not interested in eliminating dustups. On some other boards the moderating is way less visible, and there's noplace to complain about it. Posts that are against the rules are edited or deleted. Warnings and bans are invisible except to the recipient. Commentary about the moderating and the rules is nowhere to be found. Bob chooses to allow these heated discussions, and provides fodder in the form of public warnings and bans, for reasons of his own.
Well put. Even though my last post expressed some frustration regarding one aspect of the way Dr. Bob enforces his rules. I agree that the process is, for the most part, transparent, and provides fair warning to those who post. The times I have been blocked, I knew why. And that's important. Nothing's perfect, but this forum would not work were it not for active, and transparent enforcement of civility rules. There is a level of discussion here that you simply do not find on almost any other type of chat/message boards on ANY topic. Keep up the good work Dr. Bob.
