The story here, is that Astrobiology is off topic for UMSF. Rule 1.2. This is the first, last and only warning. In the post press-conf rush, I will not hesitate in hitting the delete button or issue suspensions.

I recall all sorts of discussion in the past. I guess there must have been some thread that got out of hand and you laid down some new rules. Too bad; I'm not much interested in a place that's going to completely ban astrobiology discussions just to keep a lid on UFOlogists and the like. Good luck to you, Doug. |

I'm not much interested in a place that's going to completely ban astrobiology discussions just to keep a lid on UFOlogists and the like. So be it. I am sure you, and anyone else who wants to discuss it can do so elsewhere. I will almost certainly join in the debate over at www.bautforum.com , for example. I am not completely banning astrobiological discussions. I'm not saying that no one can discuss it. But the rules of UMSF dictate that you can't discuss it here. It's not what UMSF is for. Everyone is totally free to talk about them elsewhere - and I'll probably join you! Yes - this is a baby out with bathwater issue. Rather that, than descend into a bickering fringe-theory conspiracy infested argument about astrobiology and methane. The price to pay for keeping UMSF to the standards we do, is the exclusion of things that may risk damaging it. |
