Many of us may feel at times that the moderation is unfair ... this is human.

However, I think that Graham is holding a poisoned chalice. He is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

Whatever he may see fit to 'strike' out, or let in, is bound to get someone's feathers ruffled.

Some of us need to take on the diction of diplomacy ... "how to tell someone to go to hell in a way they look forward to the trip".

I suspect, also, that Graham has to dedicate a considerable time to OLO with its many, disparate discussions. Would anyone like to have to do this ... :-[ Personally, I would prefer to endure a root canal ...

I am also guilty of getting grumpy about a decision ... a grump I harbored for three years.
I see it now as petty and small minded (my 'harboring' that is). I haven't quite "let it go" but in time ...

Ok, ok.. i'll try not to comment on anyone anymore. Sorry.. I can't help myself at times. But i had a good laugh reading all the responses just. Yes, i am totally insecure and my kittens are drowning..

I have learn so much and Belly, I so appreciate your opinion and the rest. Ever since I joined here things have gotten so much better. Thanks all. Sorry for the irritating bit. I'll try to stop picking off your brains.

Just some knowledge to share for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-Hydroxybutyric_acid

This one is quite interesting. He researches Darwin theories, yet states that evolution has no purpose?

Cheers and hv a good week y'all :)

Sorry GY.

TPP this thread has made it, went right in to the top 40 lists.
Not because of the number of posts.
But its contents.
It gave air to the subject and let us talk about it.
A poster reminds us of posting to benefit OLO.
Wish that was true of her.
jenny look around who posts as if its a text message one post then not the next?
You and I know more about some posts ,do you value any ones opinion?
I think the best improvement is going to be your last ever post here.
You are conning your self but not me.

Belly: I don't get it. why are words so un-trusting and under-rated that no one respect it any longer. Too bad for me here aiy? When I say Thank you, I mean it. When I apologize, I mean it, if you don't believe me, it doesn't matter, because u don't know me. :)

So much for this thread, doesn't look like a lot hv learnt. It was good for me. Thanks.

If you all have such a problem with my presence here, please ask GY to ban me, i'm sure if he has enough complaints, because I am breaking all the rules here. Once i get banned, then i won't have a choice to comment. :) SIMPLE, no need to complicate things.. keep it simple.

Rules are set, i play by the rules now.

and just so u know, i quite dislike judgmental bullies.. for a good reason.

The sun is up behind the clouds, a new day, a new beginning, yesterday was a joy, today is a blessing. Only you and you alone can make your day good or bad. Happy monday everyone! :)

jinny, despite your distaste for judgement, the only thing that makes our opinions worth hearing is our judgement. Humans exercise judgement every single day of our lives and have done so since before we were human.

What you don't like is others using their capacity for analysis to judge you and your situation, especially when that judgement conflicts with your own. I don't either, but I have some confidence in my own ability to make good judgements, despite making the odd poor one along the way. I trust that my process for arriving at conclusions is pretty sound. That is possible because I have made an effort to learn a method and then tested and honed it against the often very hard judgements of others.

You gave some links earlier, may I suggest one you may find useful, but it will take some work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_logic

Learning to use AND, OR and NOT appropriately is very helpful in resolving all sorts of matters that seem too difficult.

The real skill, though, is learning to establish the starting premises for your chain of reasoning. Starting from the wrong place will lead to bad answers, no matter how good your logic.

I often rant a bit about feminism. It has two problems - it starts from poor premises and then tries to arrive at a pre-determined outcome with bad logic.

I like the idea of equality between the sexes insofar as it is possible, but the poor logocal underpinnings of Feminism mean it is unable to deliver that.

See what I mean?
