Mrs unenlightened's new book.

Well I think it's rather good, but then I am so close to it that I hardly trust my own judgement. But here is an unsolicited response from someone we had not seen for forty years, that we gave a copy to.

I'm reading Isabel's book and I more than love it, there is a pureness about it that I find so refreshing.
Have you ever thought of making it into "radio novel", everything about the book, so far, is full of images, history, psychology and incredible human feeling. The whole content, read so far, is an experience that would help so many, many people though their changing moods and life's experiences.
Isabel you have written a book that I will read over and over again, thank you for giving it to me.
So jump in, folks, and invest in a first edition now, and when the film comes out and a major publisher takes it up, you'll be quids in.

Are you trying to cause a paradigm shift over at PF or are you just doing it for a love for truth?

Er, dunno. Just learning and exploring really. Not so much selling my snake oil as refining and testing it.

If you're learning and exploring then the best way to do that is to not shut out ideas that you don't like. You're moving too many quality posts to the unmoderated section. You're the only MOD that does that. If you want to learn you need to be open to ideas that you don't like. Since you're not trying to cause a paradigm shift then moving quality threads that you don't agree with to the unmoderated section will only harm your growth and development. If you can't tell if an idea is rubbish or high quality but incomprehensible then you should error on the side of the latter.

The feedback forum is the place to discuss that, or with other mods and admins. I obviously think I can tell, when I act.

Rule 1 - Don't criticize an admin or a mod, they won't listen and they'll just become worse. Since you describe yourself as unenlightened you should understand that you don't have the tools to correctly discriminate between gibberish and good ideas that simply do not make sense to you since they lie outside your worldview. You need to step down as mod and hand the job over to people better equipped to handle the task. You censor too many good ideas. Since you have no ambitions to cause a paradigm shift this should give you more time to devote to your real interests.

Cool. Start a campaign. I might listen when it's coming from a few regular posters to the forum instead of Anonymous spamming my blog.

Given that definition of spam anyone who criticized someone else is a spammer. Clear that's not what spam means. If you cannot distinguish between spam and a reasonable protest then how do you expect to believe that you have the qualifications necessary to distinguish between a sophisticated philosophical argument that you disagree with and a nonsensical philosophical argument? To the uneducated eye a nonsensical argument looks the same as a sophisticated argument that one disagrees with. You need to step down and hand the job over to someone more qualified. You've already admitted that you're unenlightened as well as numerous other self-effacing comments so why do you think you have the skills that your job demands?

You don't get it do you, so now I'll not publish your whining on my blog any more either.
