Steve,
No bias at all and I am not trying to kid anyone Steve, but you seem to be trying very hard to do so.
Search "strawman" by posts on the forum and you will see that you and Craig have used the term on multiple occasions in fact the most !.
I had never heard of it before reading one of your posts,
You and Craig have replied and hence you and Craig are the "you guys" I refer to in relation to the use of the term "strawman"
If I had been aware of the poor behaviour in the other forums I might have commented if I thought it was appropriate or not being dealt with by others which it usually is, but since I haven't, I didn't, its not about moral compass its about making a comment if I think its relevant.
As far as an attack on Craig that was never the object, although my comments for his moderation and use of emotive replies (as he graciously admits and genuinely apologises for) was directed at Craig. There is a big difference, if I wanted to attack Craig and I certainly dont, then there has been plenty of opportunity on a daily basis - do you see that anywhere ? No of course you don't.
I think my initial post is quite specific about what I had to say and why.
You have "attacked" me to far greater extent ! Extrapolated some amazing conclusions and false allegations and character assassinations of your own.
So it seems you are a hypocrite here.
There is room in this forum for everyone, but it requires some consideration and empathy for others, something that appears that not all possess or care for.
At least when it was pointed out Craig had the good courtesy to respond - even if he doesnt agree with me.
Thanks guys for tolerating my final hijack and intrusion on what is a fascinating subject no matter where our opinions sway us.
The Video link that Trevor posted is definitely worth the watch.
Cheers
Rally

If you have such a high moral compass then why don't you comment on the virulent and aggressive posts that go unmoderated in the General Chat forum.
The Science forum is placid by comparison.
The fact it's your own bias on display here. The dead give away is how you extrapolate Craig's strawman comment and turn it into a "you guys" strawman comment. We guys whoever we are are, have our own thoughts.
All the spin in the world isn't going to the change the fact your objective was first and foremost to attack Craig.
Steven
