Yes. About Uncommon Descent’s moderation policies in detail, and it is hosted by markf, who comments here.

So, if he comments here … does that … ? No, wait, this is the confused, illusory world of the Darwinist. It doesn’t have to make sense.

Hat tip: Our Cannuckian Yankee drew our attention to the continuation of the “overlong” MathGrrl’s thread over there,  here, by citing this comment.

Now, are we such hot stuff? Come to think of it, Satan doesn’t like us either, for some reason. And the ID guys are, in the view of a Christian Darwinist, an evil and adulterous generation.

Cannuckian notes, 

The blog holds a discussion among people have been banned from commenting on UD for one reason or another. Many of them are angry at UD for having placed them in moderation, and the discussion on that blog is almost exclusively centered around UD’s moderation policy. There’s not much discussion on the merits of either ToE or ID.

I’ve been reading posts there for several weeks, and it appears that some of the comments from markf here are intended to test whether certain things he says will lead to him being moderated. He does not believe that people are moderated due to any particular policy, but based on the emotional whims of the moderators.

Skinny: Given the growing number of people who use and enjoy our service, I don’t feel any need to defend our moderation policies: People who resent them are free to express themselves elsewhere. Sometimes we make mistakes. But we can’t both get out news and comment and run a perpetually sitting grievance committee. Best solution: Write as if you were participating in an online discussion with courteous and intelligent people. Especially if you think you are one.

Cannuckian also observes:

If MG is posting on a blog for former UD posters of dissenting views, then likely she is one of those former posters and is using another name. I got a hint of that when on the other blog, she erroneously posted under the name of one “Patrick,” on 3 recent posts, then after catching herself and saying that she outed herself there, she explained that she was using her father’s laptop, and that markf could decide what he was going to do with her 3 posts under that name; which is interesting, since markf apparently doesn’t censor anything on that blog.

Well one thing that certainly demonstrates, Cannuckian (hey, salut!!), is that many Darwinists are underemployed. Could that be because Darwinism is a useless obstruction to science, but the Darwinists themselves are entitled to be on one public payroll or another?

You know you are living in an Internet world when there are blogs about blogs. Happy reading.

Now back to regular news coverage, like we always do.

Can we supply the other side of the argument with a list of titles they have had wrong as well? We'll have a correct-o-fest, with ice cream for the kids. ;)Upright BiPed

Have the number of complaints regarding the evil UD moderation policy increased or decreased since Mathgrrl arrived? Where is she, by the way? Did she return the key to townsquare on her way out?Upright BiPed

That's right "lastyearon", don't worry about observations and experiments when all you need is scientific consensus. True science doesn't need strength in numbers. Looking forward to your response to Joseph though.Chris Doyle

I'd love to see the number of evolutionary biologists who can demonstrate that an accumulation of genetic accidents can construct useful, functional mult-part systems. Seeing that biological organisms are full of useful, functional multi-part systems you would think it would be in their best inerest to provide such a demonstration.Joseph

Denyse - there seems to be some confusion about this. There is just one thread on my blog about moderation at UD. I think maybe the title of the blog caused this.markf

Option 1: Have a moderation policy, however imperfectly it may be applied. Option 2: Allow our blog to degenerate into a slimy hatefest like Panda's Thumb. I vote for 1.Barry Arrington

I'd love to see a side by side comparison between the number of evolutionary biologists, and the number of ID scientists.lastyearon
