Since this thread has offered zero new evidence in favor of the proposal being made, and since questor refuses to address the questions posed to him, I move that this thread also be closed, as it's no different from the other one which already was.

All in favor, say "Aye."

Aye

[questor]

It is chilling to think that someone in official position in an open website can summarily close a thread just because he wants to. Is this free speech or is it all tightly controlled by a moderator who doesn't seem to like a poster? I defy any moderator to read my past posts and say I did not furnish links when asked and answer questions. Let this moderator point out my transgressions and answer a few questions himself. I will supply some of his own posts showing an insulting and denigrating style of communication.

I'm not sure what you mean by "open website", but just to clarify, there are rules on this site which are administered by the moderators to the best of their judgment. So yes, we may close threads if we find that they have become malicious or if it is a circular thread that has made its point and is not conducive to further discussion. It's *very* rare that we close threads.

Hypography welcomes free speech as long as it stays within the rules.

Errr....your last post?

It seems that you are challenging the staff to a spiteful game. Please stick to the topic and arguing your points.

If you have any questions or concerns, then feel free to contact myself or any other moderator or administrator. Thanks.

What moderator are you talking about

I assume you meant this exchange:
''Secondly, I didn't accuse you of favoring any laws, I asked you if you would. You have yet to answer it so I will politely ask it again.

If somehow, it were objectively determined what the traits are that would be "necessary or beneficial for a national office holder," would you support establishing a law that would restrict national office holding postitions to those who were deemed to possess those traits?

In your opinion, what are some examples of the kind of traits you're talking about?''
This was my answer:
''You will just have to wait for further discussion in the Social Sciences Forum.''

Do you not consider this an answer, when I have said I want to move the discussion to the Social Sciences Forum?

[questor]

By the way I do intend to obey the rules and treat others as i am treated.

No, it is not an answer. It's an acknowledgement of the question perhaps, but it did not answer the question.

That's good to hear!

A caveat though...If someone treats you rudely or attacks you, do not respond in the same manner. Report that person to the staff and we will handle it.

As long as you abide by our rules, you will have zero problems here.
