Here you would actually have to make an argument as well. I'm not under any "delusion" because you said so. To demonstrate that, you would have to present reasoning, something that you fail to do, even here.

In short, your position seemed to consist of nothing more than repeating the manta that the world is warming and that we're all going to die. My position, in brief, was that even if that were true, nothing proposed so far could ever hope to even slow it down, let alone stop it. For that reason, spending billions on wasted efforts like Kyoto was a complete waste of resources that were better spent elsewhere.

What could have possibly even given you the idea that I could care less what the collective thinks? Do you lose sleep because many here perceive your posts as intentionally irritating and genuinely sexist? If you don't, you can understand why I don't.

Why should I? Because you sez so?

I think you are confusing me with someone else.

I wasn't aware that many did think I was intentionally irritating and genuinely sexist.

Should I feel honoured that you bother to talk to someone you consider intentionally irritating and genuinely sexist?

Pass me some of that please.....lol

Diversification might improve, if the racial hatred eased. IMHO.

Unlike common life cycle of a thread to reach to this stage (of nearly 200 posts and over 1000 views) within week, this thread has already matured within 30hrs probably its death cycle would begin by this weekend. Hope the initial message could ring some bell to admins and mods and for some aggressive dreaming chance Eric Corpella might read this thread too.

Thanks, to all thread fabricators.

Maybe mods are not the main roles in this issue the Seti institute supposedly to follow the policy of supporting multicultural forum. And you would enforce that policy, since we have an "international" project.

Everyone heard that the project has No1 problem of funding, but my intention is to reprocess the Forum into multicultural mode and I hope it should not hurt the tight budget.

We aren't a social engineering project nor are we in the business of creating a perfectly fair system.

I felt bad for you as well. I had hoped that just once you would present an argument instead of statements of your opinion and belief, but no, that was not to occur. 8^]

I presented many arguments to support my position..including facts to back them up. I think you were perhaps confused by the way I phrased it. Possible in the usual feminine way of prefixing a statements with 'I think' or 'perhaps it is that'. That would be your bias as to what makes a 'proper' discussion and no way reflects on any points I did and have made. You and I will differ on one fundamental assertion. I do not believe that any opinion can be objective and I will frame my discussions with this in mind. You however are under the apparent delusion that the human mind can be 'objective' and that there is an 'objective' reality to present arguments about.

So your attempts to set the agenda and the style of debate were actually perceived as hostile by many..and in my opinion (again the feminine disclaimer)were sheer arrogance. :)

All my idea ground is based only on Statistics, it is not personal feeling but anybogy who feel the daily Seti statistics would easily supposed to feel it as a kind of thing that tells Seti Biology structure.

But on the opposite hand participating countries/cultures who has less than 1000 members easily feel that the forum is hugely dominated with "10 000 or more kinds" and minority voice is kind of willing to be ignored in the Forum structure.

Yet what about all the other BOINC projects? Is only SETI the only one lacking more non-English speaking posters or is this issue completely BOINC wide? There are many projects with single specific non-English forums. SIMAP, SZTAKI, QMC, RCN, Spinhenge, Chess960, Sudoku. This does not mean that they are insensitive or prohibitive of other international languages. You will find that this is a BOINC wide issue and nothing specific to SETI@home.

Ever hear the phrase: "there are lies, damn lies and statistics"? Don't put too much into statistics. They can be interpreted any way one wishes if they're good enough at doing so.

Sounds like this is an insecurity issue that needs to be dealt with on the individual level, not at an administration level. If they don't feel like their voice is heard, then they need to speak up. Catering to them simply because there is less of them isn't the real solution to the problem. People shouldn't require any sort of "hand holding" and that certainly isn't what Moderators or Administrators are here for.
