I don't want to quarrel with you, but I am sure you have thought this through beyond the level of your post, and I should like to know what law or constitutional amendment you would like to see passed in order to ensure that US citizens do not "make life difficult for other people", in th...

Unfortunately they live in a country which enshrines inalienably their right to make life difficult for other people, who then complain that they are doing so. Are you being sarcastic? No I am not being in the least sarcastic. What might be sarcastic is Chap's post, in which he explained why it's i...

These people are enabled to continue their disinformation campaign by virtue of the various freedoms the political body grants them. If they're granted these freedoms of course they're going to use them. And given the way democracy works, they'll get plenty of political support from snivelling poli...

This one is fun. Long ago I predicted that eventually apologists would merge the tight “Smith as reader” and the loose “Smith as active translator” theories into one messy mutation. They did. They had to do this because either theory left them screwed, basically. Apologists who are interested in th...

Jersey Girl, I haven't been here for months, so I can't speak for your moderatorship either way. But based on my personal experiences with you on this forum, you would have my confidence vote if it were relevant. I was a moderator for a Christian forum for several years. Eventually I resigned.

Thanks beastie, I've been reading a lot of your posts on Mesoamerica both here and on MAD (as well as in that very useful link of yours), and I have to compliment you for being so thorough. I've been away spending time on Biblical archaeology, which has proved very satisfying.

I just can't figure out why anyone would WANT to be a moderator. It's a thankless, time consuming job. But I didn't have any problems with Jersey Girl, and think that it's fine when mods choose to refrain from moderating certain individuals. During my time as a mod at ZLMB, there were mods that had...
