I apologise JP
----------------------------------------But when through a Community Admin I am deemed to be a sufferer of the Dunning Kruger Effect - a very nicely wrapped up slur on my character http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect What is a guy to do? I have tried to remain lighthearted in the To the Greenies thread as was intended by maryduby's first tongue in cheek post I have a great length presented the total science and current observations However **several**in this thread seem intent on stifling any other view and seem quite happy to suggest that one of it's key contributors since the start of this project is mentally unbalanced and unable to think clearly This cannot be allowed to go unchallenged My response was, in the circumstances, carefully measured. It should have been a lot worse Thank you however for raising the issue as we are all ambassadors for the great project and it deserves only the very best Regards Dave **edited for intolerance** tkh  [Edit 1 times, last edit by TKH at Aug 3, 2009 7:09:05 PM] |

"...the gang of CA's in this thread seem intent on stifling any other view and seem quite happy to suggest that one of it's key contributors since the start of this project is mentally unbalanced and unable to think clearly." Generalization and blunt slur? Let us consider the options such as hitting the  linkCould you have done that now instead of this "carefully measured" insert?

That unfortunately JP, is a pipe-dream. It starts off with a perfectly innocent 'lost in translation' comment [and with 214 countries from which contributions are made to WCG], there are many. E.g. the "... but only finding people pointing fingers.. and saying nothing", where my reading was giving directions to a FAQ and not add a few words with it to lead it in (sometimes I do that too if in a rush, no excuse).
----------------------------------------And how often are the edits related to the substituting 'darn', 'heck' and 'sheet, then getting the "edited for inappropriate language: TKH" leaving the appearance of something awful. These words will always be there, people writing as they speak. Hyper cleanliness is not healthy. It makes more sensitive to bugs, and then next up we'll get to the jokes thread with the all apparent sexist quips. Are those appropriate here a 'kid friendly'? You can play it Low or High key.

I whole heartedly agree. Those type of posts are detrimental to what we are trying to achieve at WCG!!!!
