I don't believe that the moderator was responsible in any way for the Bot leaving. Whatever his reasons, he will return when he is ready, not before. I don't know the guy from Adam, but I certainly think he will not be swayed in his convictions.

LUVMB - try sending him a pm with your question and your email, might just work.

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

The whole thing was ill conceived. Bot's comment was pointless flinging of dung, the complaint about feeling threatened from the intendee of said dung was pointless (what we have here is the safest distance between debaters yet known to man), and I'm not sure an infraction was needed either, but like BC said, it's a challenge to keep things civil w/o being to heavy handed, so I see that part as neutral.

Guy definitely adds color here, or added anyway. For my part, no one has responded with "Vietnam." to one of my posts in a while.

Whew (deep breath of relaxation). I needed that.

Now, let me say this about that (deep inhale) . . .
