A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Re: Metaphysics as an Error
Thanks for writing this FBM. It echoes most of my sentiments. I would like to add my apology as well. I would ask the members to be patient with me as I learn.FBM wrote:While I support the 24-hr suspension (not because CdSG said anything worse than anyone else; it's the timing thing), I also agree that I should have suggested splitting the derail instead of temporarily locking the thread. I responded the way I did because a) I've only been a mod for a short time, and it simply didn't occur to me to split the thread, b) I received several PMs from participants in the thread within a short time with legitimate complaints about certain other participants, c) I didn't see any other mods online at the time to ask advice from (I didn't see Mai until it was too late).
In retrospect, spitting the posts into a derail thread would have been very tricky, as on-topic comments were mixed in the same posts as derail comments. It was something like 2 or 3 a.m. here at the time, and I simply couldn't have handled it. What can I say, I have a job. If it had occurred to me or Mai (who didn't know the content of the PMs to me) to split the thread instead of temporarily locking it, I could have asked her to do it.
Bottom line, I did my best with what I had at the time. Sorry if it wasn't up to snuff. I learned something valuable from it, but I hope I didn't do too much damage in the process. I offer my apologies to anyone who was unnecessarily troubled by my actions.

The whole thing was a struggle for me, figuring out how much presence was enough, how much was too much. Still can't say I know for sure, but one thing I won't forget is the option to split a thread into a derail.
