Actually, that is not something we are capable of doing.
If she posted it minutes before you posted yours you wouldn't have seen it while you composed your sign-out. Perhaps that is what happened.

One of my concerns in all this is that you have some expectation that the moderators have a lot of time, but that your time is precious. If you think of us as other human beings who are doing this as a hobby, you'd realize that you could have simply PMed her and explained the situation. Tinaa is very nice, but very busy too.

One thing that I keep trying to point out is that even though our debates are adversarial, that doesn't mean our relationships have to be. You can present as far from the mainstream view as you like and still be on good terms with everyone here if you:
- Put the time in to make your points clear, concise, and unambiguous
- Respect the time other people have to put in to read/watch your presentation
- Answer direct qustions as best you can (which may simply be "I don't know yet")
- Acknowledge other viewpoints
