Test topic for moderator discussions and "Other"between members

[F6FLT]

Proposal incompatible with the need to fight the intellectual deceptions wherever they are made.

I think we're out of Snickers bars......[Nick ate the last one....
Can't we just get back to the business of saving the world , and perhaps have some tolerance for works in progress [Wesley's Notebook work ?? ]..After all... holding the forum to such extreme.........?
Well,  I think you can appreciate the problem that might present ...would you have enuff time in a day ??
you'd be a very Busy Guy around here ?

Tolerance never implies not criticizing subjects, practices or attitudes. Tolerance here is only accepting the right of others to express themselves.

On the other hand, censorship of point of view, not because of form but because of substance, is indeed intolerance. It has been severely exercised in Wesley's discussion thread where he is moderator. But no one but him prevents others from expressing themselves on Kapanadze or on Zenneck's waves or other points, he is not prevented from expressing himself, there is no intolerance. He even has the exhorting right to be able to do so in places where he can ban others.

Criticism is a necessity in any group operating on a democratic model, it is a necessary means for progress, for the search for truth, for the search for consensus, on any topic.
Detailed and reasoned criticism, not cookie-cutter, must be accepted. If the one I produced was not enough, I could make a summary on request.

F6FLT,

YOU are definitely becoming a nuisance.  I understand your wanting to correct the ideas you believe are a mistake being presented by others.  But no one appointed you the overseer of truth on this forum.  I also don't like to see ideas I believe are false being presented.  And I will express my disagreement with those ideas.  But most on this forum are grown men that have the option to follow their own beliefs and ideas.  After I express my opinion I will answer any questions about why I believe they might be mistaken in their idea or belief.  Then after that I try to just leave them alone to follow whatever they want to follow.

I also see clearly the need for a person to be able to have a section of this forum where he can discuss his or her ideas with others that might be interested without having to constantly reply to the naysayers.  So therefore a moderated section becomes necessary.

Respectfully,
Carroll

   Guys:   I doubt that anyone here actually believes what Wesley is stating as facts concerning the relation of Zenneck wave to self running devices. It's not a fact, nor has it been proven in any way.   So, let just let him have his space, where he can do what he pleases. If you don't agree with what is being discussed on that thread, just don't go there, as he has asked. So, we can all move on, and actually get somewhere, instead of going in circles to no where.  As he is not listening to our questions and views on the subject, he may as well just lock the thread, and reserve it just for his own personal "notebook".  I guess that his own PC has no space for such a personal notebook, and needs to post on a public forum, instead.
   I will leave him alone, and not go to his notebook, as I see nothing there to get excited about.
