The bottom line - and I believe MDAO would agree with this - is that in this forum, mutual respect trumps intellectual prowess. While we appreciate intelligent posts, abusive or belittling posts are simply unacceptable.

Agreed.
willow, if you feel intimidated or out of place while in this forum, I have failed.
No, not at all. I do feel a little bit lost when discussing Russel's Teapot and the like but its more my own lack of education which embarasses me. I had a, aherm, very patchy scholastic career... That said, I am a learner, so yeah...
However, it would be nice if all philosophical arguments not-made-by-a-BLer-but-posted-by-one would be put into context/etc....
MDAO, your signature is something I have pondered by the way....Nice

Do you guys have any suggestions or thoughts to improve the forum? I am interested in better moderation techniques, better discussion starters and overall improvements.
All suggestions/improvements should be placed here so that everyone can read and reply.
OK, now what are we to do with this intellectual lint? I should apologize, maybe someday, I'm actually a pretty apologetic sort. I'll think of something to apologize for at some point.No I'm saying that for something that large and impressive, we wouldn't be much of a creation would we? We would be incomprehensibly small and insignificant. It wouldn't be comparable to man creating a sentient species somewhat akin to ourselves. It would be comparable to man creating a piece of dust so why would we bother? The piece of dust on the other hand might exist as a microscopic part of a greater creation. Like how when we invent something it has a molecular structure.
We aren't aware of the molecules themselves.
They are arbitrary. "

Yes. If a post has been UAed you don't see it or find it in a search. You are correct over and over would indicate more than once.TheDeceased said:Doesn't "over and over" imply more than a single repetition?
I'm having a pretty OK day. Is it possible that you are projecting?Stop picking on long time members who haven't done anything wrong simply because you are having a bad day. Okay?
