Dear crosscountry why would ANYTHING be deleted? Do you think we have something to hide? I would be highly insulted if my message, mmfiore's or swift's message would be deleted and quit the board.

mmfiore got rather agitated by my message to him where I state (as a participant, not as moderator, because then it would be in red and I tend not to moderete threads in which I am a participant however small) that after 8 pages of thread, he has not shown anything about his Super relativity idea that is in any way convincing that it has any merit. Fortis is mainly on this. Instead of replying to my complaints, he feels attacked by me mentioning that I do not see any reason for that whole thread.

Maybe I should not have mentioned that?
Maybe mmfiore feels that I am right but does not want it true.

Anyway, I still feel the same.

We only ban/suspend people when they do not answer direct questions. An answer "i do not know" is a valid answer. mmfiore was not banned because he "answered the question" but because his behaviour, for which he has been warned before.

And that is only in this thread.
And then we apparently let this message just pass by.

And whether mmfiore really answers the question is a matter of debate, it took several tries by Fortis to get mmfiore to acknowledge that he cannot "predict" masses of particles if he cannot use the mass of said particle as an input parameter!!

So, over-moderation? I don't think so.
