@ChrisWhite Simple ; Chemistry is boring; Physics is interesting. : ) @DavidZ: Dilaton has certainly not attacked moderators, in contrary to what you say. Unless disagreement is suddenly being considered as an attack. And even his disagreement is not unfounded. A vote on meta indicates disagreement; a comment/answer/question indicates reason for the disagreement. @Dilaton had never done this unfoundedly, quite clearly. And your actions are in complete contrary to the claim that

"Attack moderators".

There are few (2) moderators who actually are "just normal users with powers to

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS I really have no idea what you're getting at. But do note that unfounded accusations are not appropriate here. E.g. if you want to accuse me of claiming that Dilaton attacked moderators, cite the specific statements that show it.

Crazy Buddy

Hmm... A lot of things happen just when I fall asleep... :)

@DavidZ: How often do you write blog posts? Is there a certain frequency for that? ;-)

Or just, when you're free? :D

David Z

Just whenever I have time

It usually winds up being once every 2-4 weeks, given the other stuff I have to do

Crazy Buddy

ahh...

@DavidZ: Apart from research, submitting papers, etc., what else you do? :)

David Z

Stack Exchange stuff ;-)

Also I spend some time on reddit, and various other little things (not all online)

Mostly research and teaching though

Crazy Buddy

So, every grad student does some teaching?

David Z

04:45

Most do

Not every one

Crazy Buddy

Okay...

BTW, do you read (at least skim) Physics.SE Q&As everyday?

David Z

Yeah, I usually look through the first page (50) or so of the new question when I visit the site each day

Titles only, though, I don't read them all

Crazy Buddy

Well, I was like that. Reading Q&As (if I understood the title) everyday...

But, I'm currently having a situation, where I'm unable to read the posts for the past 5 days. I wanted to read those, but I can't...

Already, I have a lot of tabs to be cleared (10s or 20s)

plus a whole window of Physics.SE questions (which I haven't touched at all)

David Z

You don't have to read them all, you know ;-)

Crazy Buddy

That's the next issue... I've already filtered some through a fast skim.

Still, I've got long posts to complete

I can't close them, as they look somewhat amusing (at least to me) :/

David Z

04:53

@CrazyBuddy "amusing" shouldn't be your criterion for voting to close

We don't leave questions open (or close them) just because they're amusing or not

Crazy Buddy

No, No.. Not like that... I didn't mean like that :)

They're nice questions, I find them very interesting... Okay? :D

David Z

Sure, but then what were you talking about closing?

Crazy Buddy

(And, they've got enough votes & nice answers)

Closing browser tabs?

Crazy Buddy

04:55

I meant browser tabs... Duh -_-

(Silly me...) -_-

A thousand pardons :P

David Z

Oh, gotcha

Crazy Buddy

And, most of those posts - take sometime to visualize...

David Z

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS I've never posted on that site. Again, if you're going to make accusations, you have to cite the specific statements that back it up.

Anonymous

@DavidZ Please click on the link first. The message is by Dilaton, which quotes your suspension message.

David Z

We don't discuss the details of suspensions in public. If you want to challenge something in a suspension message, take it up with the SE team.

@CrazyBuddy He's not around because he was suspended. If you're suspended on the parent site, you can't even talk in chat.

Q: How To Reach Critical Mass?

@Mostafa Exactly, there's something crazy going on! Dilaton's suspenndted, Ron Maimon's suspended (that too, when he isn't even participating)! This is just crazy.

Crazy Buddy

@Mostafa Well, he had a hate speech with Larian during townhall mod chat (despite of the warning given to him)...

He had already been suspended for another speech in the main site...

Hey... I didn't know about this suspension...

But, we shouldn't talk about that in chat :)

At least mods are forbidden to respond such questions... -_-

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS Not yet..!!!

I suppose soon I will be :)

What I do know is that suspension periods increase for every suspension....

Q: A migration path to Math Overflow?

Since list questions aren't allowed here, e.g. this, and recieve imediate closing, even locking, and a meta post against it, maybe such questions could be migrated to Math Overflow, where such questions are taken well? Vote up or down if you support this or do not.

@CrazyBuddy You mean you'd also suspend Ron Maimon/Dilaton if you were a moderator?

Crazy Buddy

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS Dunno what they did... If I know the entire case, I can suggest something... ;-)

Anonymous

12:36

@CrazyBuddy It;s obvious that' Dilaton didn't do anything, as you can see from the TRF discussion. As for Ron Maimon, he's not even active on this site.

Anonymous

@RonMaimon: It would be good if you could reveal your suspension details on the TRF or something...

Anonymous

Wait a minute, all my comments are in blue... Now that I see how this blue-black system works.

Crazy Buddy

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS That's just an apparent "view"... You (or me) don't know what really happened...

Anonymous

13:05

@CrazyBuddy What do you mean? That Dilaton put the false details in the TRF discussion?

Crazy Buddy

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS See... I don't wanna make this as a discussion (which brings no point of conclusion) What do you want from me anyway? May I know why are you ranting? o_O

Anonymous

@CrazyBuddy I ' m not ranting. I was just asking whether you'd have also done such a thing. Assuming that what Dilaton wrote on the TRF is true (which it is), would you have suspended him for the same reason if you were a moderator? .

Crazy Buddy

13:21

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS Think a little bit. An SE mod would never suspend someone for writing about him somewhere on the internet. He wouldn't show his rage, angry, etc. where he has powers. Why would he?

A mod is an arbiter... perfectly chosen for right judgement...

Hennes

13:41

Which is why you should never buy a mod a beer ? ;-)

@CrazyBuddy Are you saying that Dilaton was writing false reasons in that comment?

@CrazyBuddy How about you actually make a suspension message up ? Then comment whether it is possible .

Pardon me... I can't really get that :)

Anonymous

If you think that it is possoible for someone to make up a suspesion message, then why don't you try to do that and then comment on whether it is possible that Dilaton made thatk up? Anyway, I was asking whether you'd suspend Dilaton for such reasons is for finding out whether I should vote for you in the 2013 election.

Hello everyone!

22:42

@حكيمالفيلسوفالضائع Hi there

Larry Harson

22:56

@DImension10AbhimanyuPS David Z, together with others, has invested a lot of time and effort in making this a great site for people interested in physics. So it's libelous for anyone to make the claim that David Z doesn't care about the physics community here.

Huh? Why was my suggestion to Dilaton to appologize to David Z removed?

hwlau

@LarryHarson Isn't it removed by you?

I didn't see it when I come here few hours ago

Larry Harson

23:13

@hwlau nah, it wasn't removed by me, and I've just noticed that dimension10's comment was also removed

David Z

23:39

@LarryHarson That was me. I was hoping you (both) would take it as a subtle hint that it's not really appropriate to be throwing around accusations of libel. The fact that you're speaking in my favor, while appreciated on a personal level, doesn't change that.

Maybe it was a mistake to delete those couple comments, in which case I'm sorry about that.

But I'd still ask everyone to stick to rational discussion, and not make inflammatory statements. (i.e. be nice)
